Edited by: Culmen on 01/05/2010 03:23:03 You might actually be in for some trouble.
That level of isk, with that level of stupidity might indicate an isk buyer. Meaning someone just gave you 1 billion in bought isk.
Id wait a few weeks before I started spending it. and further more why do i even need a sig? |

They set up a sell order at an absurdly high price thinking they could buy from an order other than the lowest?

Could be a trial alt, can't give money then.
Why would a trial have one bil... no idea.
But for the record, I only changed my sig because I was annoying myself with the last one.

you can trade money, last i checked.
And if you do trading over multiple trial accounts, maybe. Although id have bought a plex after the first half bill..

HAHAHAHA so this is what I think must have happened since you CAN just send ISK direct.
Guy needs ISK Guy goes on ISK selling site Guy gets told "make alt and put up 1 billion ISK for buy order" to make it secure ISK Spammer sends ISK to wrong person ISK Spammer blames buyer Conversation happens
The only reason I think this is what happened was because of the way the market works anyway (anyone who buys ammo in general knows what I mean), you want 5000 ammo, you see an order for 4753 ammo, instead of messing around, you click the order above which has 98247 ammo spare, you buy 5000 and the guy who puts up 4753 will sell all of his by default.
I generally dont mind this, makes 'surprise profits' when trading and interesting stories when things fail :P

Why didn't you just send 1 billion ISK to your trial character? I've sent trial alts money from my subscribed characters tons of time, most recently 5 days ago.

send a petition, ask the gm if the transaction is okay to keep. when you get the answer, you dont have to worry about a thing either way :)
I've done this many times in the past, its always worked fine.

This. Just to be on the safe side. Either you got some easy money or you kicked an ISK buyer in the groins.

Incredibly large amounts of ISK for doing nothing (like 1 trit) should always be verified from a GM by EULA unless I've understand it wrong.

I tried this... I got some isk via 'give money' from someone I didn't know... So I petitioned it and told the GM that I didn't intend on giving the money back if it was legit, only if it was a from an ISK seller... well 1 hour later, the isk was gone from my account :(

I'd just leave it be. You got a free billion from him, so what. If you had some money before, get yourself a nice Tengu or so. ________________________

I've had 'donations' of 1b odd before. I've even had an actual 1b donation! I make sure to file a petition asking if the isk is from a legit source since I don't feel like getting banned due to some lame isk buyer. ~_~ (Retired from ship toasting. Now a professional.)

Seeing as that guy actually SENT him the isk, I would rather think we are dealing with an isk SELLER here, not a buyer. The person he was SUPPOSED to send that 1bil to, now THAT would be an isk buyer! __________________________________________________

No, he means, the guy with the 1 bil, that would probably have been the trial. Trial accounts can receive as much ISK they want, but can't send it away. Hence, his "why would a trial have 1 bil" line.

Seeing how you haven't bothered properly reading the OP, you should... umm... read it again ? The OP was selling tritanium at the lowest price in the station, the other guy had an alt of his put up 1 trit for sale at 1 bil in the same station, then used his "main" to buy 1 trit for 1 bil, not knowing that he CAN NOT SELECT a specific seller (seller is always the one with the lowest price, but you pay whatever you chose to pay, in this case, the guy with trit for sale at 2 ISK a piece got 1 bil for 1 trit).
Since you can just transfer money from a full account to ANY account whatsoever, we can conclude that either the "victim" was heavily misinformed (about the fact he could have just transfered the money, and about how the market works)... or it was an ISK BUYER attempting to receive money from a trial account owned by an ISK seller (while not knowing how the market works).

Out of curiosity, can trials accept contracts? The last time i moved money from an alt i decided against I just used a contract...
Either way, this guy is still an idiot, and I'm glad you got a billion isk.

I would petition it just in case. One thing to note is than in certain other MMOs, City of Heroes/Villains being the prime example this is the only way you can transfer money to an alt. I actually made in a killing in that game identifying "alt transferring" transactions and switching the transaction out for one of my own so that they sent the Inf to me instead of their alt. ====== Your signature is freakishly huge for this forum.

Trial accounts cannot create contracts nor can they accept contracts.
Since trial accounts can be sent isk, but cannot send isk, it sounds to me like the char was doing this to get arround this fact. So where did the trial account get the 1 bill isk?
Otherwise ther is no reason to do something so silly.

I see. Yep, Why someone is trying to transfer 1 bill isk that way is questionable. Probably ISK Seller/Buyer. Petitions are in order...

I had a m8 have the same thing was for a bit less though, he roled a noob char and sent it 500 mill to get it going then decided he could not be assed, ISK stuck, so he putt a drone up for sale for 500 mill on his main and his alt bought it, then realised someone else saw it go up and put a duplicate up he bought form some dude in IVY lols.
