macskull Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 As part of my regularly scheduled marketeering I lowballed a stack of some purples before I left for work today. I came back to find out that all my bids had filled... and when I went to check, I discovered that I'd added an extra zero so I ended up buying 10 purples at 150 million each! If anyone needs me, I'll be over here crying.

Papaschtroumpf Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Can't happen to me, no enough inf to be able too lace bifs an order of magnitude too high. And I have only been able to afford 3 purples (IOs, not sets) so far. Maybe you can find solace in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeon Hawkwood Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Ouch. My worst oopsie (so far) was buying a stack of rare salvage at 9.8million each instead of 980K each. Defender Smash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomo Kimyata Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 The bad news is that I just bought a travel +stealth for 8,000,000. The good news is that I bought it from another one of my toons. So, yay? Who run Bartertown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srmalloy Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I saw the sale history on enhancement catalysts the other day where someone had suffered from a zero spasm and bought one for 100,000,000 inf -- about 1,000 times what the running average seems to be.

Adeon Hawkwood Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 #richpeopleproblems I know right. Can you believe you can only hold 2 billion inf on each character and can only email 999,999,999 inf at a time. It is such a pain in the ass. Defender Smash!

molten_dragon Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 It happens to everyone eventually if they play the markets long enough. Hasn't happened to me on homecoming yet, but I know back on live I once paid 500 million for something that was going for 50 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidnunc Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 You should take solace in the fact that your 150 million influence commission will keep the lights on at Wentworth's for another month, at least. The hardworking employees there might even get a bonus. Might even help them install some better security for those raids they keep experiencing.

Deuce Spade Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I bought a Titanium Coating today for 25,600,000. Was changing 2,500,000 to 2,600,000 for a bid and didn't check my numbers. Ouch. I only had 33 million total. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received a kind offer from a community member to cover my losses, so I thought I'd post and say I can farm more influence, I was just poor momentarily from buying sets. CoH players were always awesome that way though. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okashi Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) I found this is the best place for the first post. Congragulations to the 10 lucky winners of 4.200.000 in exchange for their Conspiratorial Evidence!!!!

I benefited from one of these last weekend. Someone paid 100M for one of my Enhancement Converters. I both feel bad and am quite grateful. It's a huge leg up for someone still just getting restarted and fitting out that first build, but I really hope the person who did it is so wealthy that they could laugh off the mistake.
