Seriously, And this post belongs under the "punishment" sector, the "self pwnage" part
So, We're at war, and im all alone. Having a little skirmish outside station, but can't engange due to lack of pilots.
"Heck, i'll get my hangar cleaned", so i start putting loot i don't need on market, and refitting some ships. Since im going to try to join a pvp corp, i'm getting the most isk out of what i got, and i decide my machariel wont be needing the 2 Core-X type reps, and trying with single rep instead (not really flying it in pvp, use my tempest for that, just like having a little *bling* in the hangar" Checked the price on contracts for the Core-X's and only see one for 830 mil. 900 Mil seems like a fair price, add to contracts and then some more skirmish.
Then it happened...
Contract icon blinks, i dock, look at wallet and its still at some 9 million (im poor atm, the rep would have provided some ships while my alt gets her factories in business again (been inactive on both accounts for 4 months)) I open contracts... And woop-ti-doo, i forgot 3 zero's
Congrats to the guy who got himself a Core-X Type Large Armor repearier for 900k, i envy you while i beat myself with a frozen trout...
This is not a whine or "give it back" thread, just a "beat me silly" thread.
It was in Sivala Btw

While living up in Venal, a guy contracted a Crystal Omega for 800k. I quickly snagged it up and made a cool billion off of it. Thanks again dude! o/

My best one like this (Back in time when there still was Escrow) was a Gleam M BPO for 100k
Used to lurk around the Escrows quite a bit back when I was 4-5 months old. --- Teeheee! mematar's Video Archive |

someone put a tempest up for sale and forgot a zero. 8,350,000 isk. which i promptly purchased for my own use. though as excited by the deal as i was, i forgot to check the fact it was 13 jumps away in high sec. stupid stupid stupid (oh and i dont have a minmatar bs capable alt) ------------------------------------ If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward |

The worst thing about it is he asked me if i wanted to buy it but i said i can't afford it atm. Didn't even look at contracts. And that was way before it was claimed.

This one should make you feel a bit better. A month or so ago a guy updated his buy order wrong for a crystal omega. He put about 7.2billion instead of about 720million, and I was the lucky guy with the lowest sell order.

My main was less than one month old last summer when,by chance I was docked in Rens scanning the market and I came across the "deal" that changed my life in EVE from that moment forward.
To my amazement someone had posted for sale 50 Breachers on the market for 29k...EACH.
I immediatly liquidated everything I had(which wasn't much) and spent all but 5k of my ISK to buy those ships.
I of course added the zero that the seller had forgotten.
That windfall(and careful budgeting) was the beginning of my financial success in EVE that continues to this day.
The mere omission of a single zero gave me a great headstart.
One players zero is another players treasure.
Cheers
