If you typed an extra '0' in the market, look here

Praise to you.
I tried finding someone who overpaid, but no luck. 900mill is a nice chuck of change, i hope you find the person, if not, i hope you spend it wise.
Either way.. Props to you for trying to do the right thing!

Yes it's cool that Laevateinn is making an attempt to do the right thing. But even if the "overpayer" can't be helped at least comfort can be taken that he/she had a billion to spend in the first place. Usually when people have that much INF to throw around they tend to be savvy enough about the game to know how to make another billion to replace it soon enough.
Basically apart from being dumb enough to type an extra zero I wouldn't worry about that guy -too- much.

It was me. Except it was my brother who did it on my account and now he's left for a vacation so I can't get the details.
PS. It was me
I still haven't found the person in question. If you sent a tell and I somehow missed it, please resend.
If you know of anyone who lost 1bn in this manner recently, PM me.
It was not me, but I want to say that it is awesome that you are doing this. There are days that I do have hope for humanity.

If this is you, send me a PM and I'll return you the money. (You'll need to answer a few questions first.) @Laevateinn |
For the other guy?

I've done this a few times before (never for that much money though, think I once did a 50,000,000 when I meant to do 5,000,000).
It's why I've gotten pretty obsessive with counting zeroes before I bid.
If I lost a billion inf I think I'd cry. I still remember how I felt when I got my first billion (Payment for building a base for someone) I can't imagine that feeling in reverse.

Minus the lip ring.

With different hair.
Yup... exactly the same. Almost.

Could be worse. You could have never really had a time where looking into a mirror wasn't a sanity-endangering task.

I dunno, how funny do you look when you dance? That moved mirrors from 'okay' to 'best thing ever' for me personally.

I've lost over a billion for an error like that, before, but this one wasn't me. Bought an Absolute Amazement for 1.5B when I intended 150M, in a tired and drunken market spree.
Someone paid me 1bn for a 100m item on the market sometime within the last 24 hours.
