NOTE: I guess you should refrain from making too much fun of each other blunders...I guess...

okayI'll start things off wtih this

Your item Snow Witch was successfully sold to Heartless Shinobi for 1100 gold.

A 2% transaction fee was deducted from the sale price. The calculated fee is 22 gold.

just so you know snow witch is sold for 10,650 gold...I was going for 11000 gold... emo

I lost 300k on mispricing an angelic pendant.

Clicked the wrong item when going to sell...priced it correctly for what I THOUGHT I was selling...5000 under what I actually sold....sold almost immediately, no time to cancel.

Live and learn and USE that confirmation screen to check it over!

(And no, I didn't go whine, just exercised my large and varied vocabulary of curse words real life. It's a game, it's a mistake, it goes on, you know? Show me the vendor who never makes a mistake and I'll show you someone who doesn't vend.)

I haven't made a mistake on selling (yet), but have done so on buying. I bought 2k tickets for 30189g. I mistakingly hit both the 8 and 9 and didn't notice until afterwards. I'm sure I made someone happy that day. xd

I bought a 2nd generation Fausto's Bottle for 83k when they were still up in the 90s (which is a pretty nice profit for my standards), but immediately after the price dropped to around 80k, kept going until it was at 65k, and after today's evolution report it's at 50k! What the heck!

I lost about 500k this week because of the bottle and evolution drop.

I sold a 1st gen Fausto's Bottle back when it was 17K.

Or I accidentally put an extra 0 on the auction for an alien probe and accidentally spent 12000 on a thing that's worth 1.5...

I think I did that back in my ticket selling days, forget what I bought though it was a while ago.

Hm... I haven't made any blunders that have made my toes curl up like some of the ones I've been reading about on this page... but I accidently bought 3 Zodiacs in the market once when I only wanted one. I kept getting an error page each time I tried to buy one, so when I went back into the market to look for others I kept assuming the errors were from them expiring because someone else had beat me to them. 3 zodiacs later I realized I had a lot of money missing and I had won all the ones I had tried to buy afterall. >_>;;;
