You know those stories you hear about people losing (or making) millions off the trading mistakes of others?
I now have my own story 😦
Logged on at midnight after a long day and discovered my two dramiels had come out of the oven, thanks to a corpmate with manufacturing skills. “what ho!”, said I, “I shall verily list these for sale!” So I put them up for sale.
This morning, I checked my transaction history and saw they’d both sold…
for 1% of what I thought I’d listed them at. /o\
Welp, there goes 100 million isk.
not this bad

Oh no! Didn’t you notice the warning when you posted the items that the price was 99% under average? Oh well – at least you probably made some other EVE player’s day. I wonder how many times they checked and re-checked the price, wondering if it was somehow a scam….
Actually, it was still 70% above market. Haven’t checked the market since then, but maybe it had a big buy order at 0.01 isk or something.
That’s unfortunate. You probably made someone quite happy picking up a good deal on those. Sometimes not good to be punching numbers listing items for sale when sleepy or tired, should say as well if had a bit to drink.
i’ve posted some high priced items for sale though not usually that high that i made mistakes on double checking the price, fortunately was able to make immediate corrections noticing the mistake.
Sure you will recover from the mistake.
One less thing I have to evacuate the region with, I guess.
