I think what he's trying to say is that he meant to sell it for 500 million but only got 500,000 because he didn't set his price to what he wanted to get for it.

Spend it well! |

Not as bad as you but I still wanted to slap myself. lol |
Kidding aside - I feel your pain.
Could be worse. I once bought a stack of rubies for 50,000,101 a pop.
Knew I'd screwed up as soon as I saw it pop up on the screen and they all filled before I could hit cancel.
Was very NOT a happy camper afterwards.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Worst I've ever done along these lines is I once accidentally vendored a purple. It was one of the less desirable ones, but still. Shortly thereafter the ability to mail recipes came in; now when I get purples or such as soon as there's a break in the action I mail them to myself.

I think reading this tread jinxed me. I just paid 15mil each for 10 common salvage. I didn't even notice till I went to pull it from WW.

To show there are people who do care, and mistakes like this happens:
Several weeks ago i placed something on WW, someone bought it for 80+mill, that is 75mill more than the I/O was worth and listed for. I send out shout outs in all channels i had, trying to find the person who made the mistake, to give him his inf back.
Friends told me WW was game wide, not server wide, so i hope i can find that person now. I felt so bad i didn't even claim it till last week.
I will leave some details out, so i can be sure who it was:
I/O was a Doc Wounds, several weeks ago.
If u PM me with more details and it is honestly you, i'll mail u your inf back.

Before I got into marketing (thus in complete ignorance of what you could make there) I purposefully vendored at least 2 purples. I remember because I thought names like 'Armageddon' were interesting for simple enhancement...
I haven't mistyped for purchasing though >.>
