...meanwhile, elsewhere in the world, somebody just had a very GOOD day!

Well crap, took a screenshot of it, however, I forgot to screenshot it with the HUD option, so it didn't post. However, I feel I should tell the story anyway. There was a Luck of the Gambler that was selling on average for 8 mill. Somebody made the huge mistake of buying one for 85,000,000 Influence where I am SURE they only meant to attempt 8,500,000. I seen it, took a screen shot of it...but damn it, only got this instead.

Sorry folks, it would have been so much more interesting if I had the hud up.  😞

I use:

SHIFT+F11 "+screenshotui$$screenshot$$-screenshotui"

 

It gets me two screenshots each time I press it, one with UI and one without.

I didn't want to make a macro or bind for it so I looked at the options and found an option to toggle it. By default there is no bind for it though, so you have to bind a key to the toggle, I used insert for mine.

At one point, I had binds for both /screenshotui 1 and 0...

My PrtScr button takes a shot with no UI.

And, so that I don't have to remember whether to use Alt- or Ctrl-, I have both Alt-PrtScr and Ctrl-PrtScr set up to take a shot WITH the UI.

Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

That happened to me once.  I was putting up a purple for 10 million, despite the fact that the AH said the last several sales had been for 100 mill.    I honestly figured it was a typo.  10 seconds later I found out it wasn't a typo.  100 mill right then.   Also, do you like playing with the CO-style cel-shading on?   I'm tempted to try it, but my GFX card is ten years old so that might not be a good idea.

When posting items, I recall commas being added to the UI after people complained about making such mistakes. Happened fairly frequently.

Sometimes things happen because we are in a hurry or just not really thinking about what we are doing with our full attention. That very thing frankly happened to me recently I was casually role playing a alas park while also doing some shoping and crafting of a few rarer recipes worth making and taking away for future alts.

 

One of them needed something rare, cant remember which, but I went to do my typical 555,555 bid for a single bit of rare mat. But I guess I was so distracted with RP I just zoned out and added another 5 and didnt think to remove it. Maybe I even had noticed and though eh why not 5 mil is still not all that much and it may give someone actually tight on funds a good day.

 

But and here is the kicker. I also had somehow manage to have it set for 10 of the thing. so I dropped 55 mil and change on 5 mil in rare mats. I mean sure even 55 mil is only a small percentage of the total cost of a fine tuned build. Still I have to admit when I did realize the next morning what I had done) it was also late so I may have been abit too tired too in my defense!) I felt a fair bit of chagrin at myself and was like doh damn it homer.

I'm absolutely sure I would come up with some inventive curses as I spent 20 minutes swearing at my computer screen.

Then, I'd start laughing at myself and calling myself the Biggest Idiot Ever (though I tell ya, there's a LOT of competition for that title....)

Then I'd realize 55 mil, while it would sting to blow it on 10 rare salvage, I can earn back with fairly little effort from a few rounds of converter roulette.

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't bother me after that.

Hahaha, are you kidding me, man? There are people who would actually fight you for that title.
