I went to buy a ship and accidentally clicked on the wrong line and thought it was one line then with lag it clicked on another line...Turns out instead of getting my 535,000 isk bestower I have bought a 525 million isk bestower which was not my intent at all...IS thier any way I can get my money back as I been playing this game way to long to be dumb enough to do this and no I dont drink..Was a lag issue and I cant believe it just happened.
And no this is not a troll..i think im gonna puke

Check who got the money for it from transactions and ask them nicely. They may or may not give you it back, since you have no right to the money once you bought it. Nothing anyone can do about it other than be more careful in the future. --

It seems you are dumb enough to do that. And I doubt it, since the logs prove that lag doesnt exist in this game.

Why would they do that? They we're the ones selling the bestower for that much in the first place.

Not necessarily. When you buy something overpriced and there are cheaper ones for sale, the cheapest seller gets the sale but the price is whatever you selected/entered. So it's always the cheapest seller who gets the sale.
My policy is that if someone makes a mistake like this and they ask for their isk back, I give it back. If they don't ask, I get some free isk. It's never actually happened that I've been on the recieving end of this problem, though, usually I'm the one who accidentally bought something for too much ^^;.

When i went to click it showed the bottom ship next to this one as highlighted when i clicked ok it still show the bottom ship below this order as highlighted...when i checked the bank account it bought the top ship...So im completly confuzzled how that happened tbh

*makes a note to put some 200m Bestowers up in empire.
They would be bargain priced in comparison.
Seriously though, I suspect you are out of luck. Most of us have lost to market mistakes at some point and I've never heard of isk being given back.
I'm not sure, maybe CCP should do something about this but I doubt it is high on their priorities list.

you know what that is?
...unlucky!
I reckon your best bet is to put it up for sale for the same price and wait until the next person in a rush wanders past.

No because im not the kind of person that does that...Mind you its within the game mechanics to do it but literally im a fair minded person in and out of game so that would be very unlike me.. Just because one can put an overinflated buy price on something and hope some poor guy drives by that has lag issues or is tired or drunk or whatever does not mean im going to...Truth is if i did do this kind of thing Id give the money back and give im a good ribbing about it.

I wanted to buy a logistic drone skillbook, then my client froze as I started the right click>buy motion and I ended up buying fighters for 40M. Luckily jita was around teh corner and I could sell it for nearly as much again.
Sounds like bad luck and I doubt the person that sold the bestower to you did that by accident.

Edited by: PuncherDavis on 21/05/2008 16:54:00 Maybe something like this could be implented
100% over regional text goes to BOLD caps
200% or more over region extra box comes up asking if you are sure you want to do this.
1000% percent over Buy is not allowed to progress until a 30 second time frame goes by which the now bold box is looking at u with small words scrolling by saying..are YOU SURE
10,000% over buy is not allowed please report this seller to the international group of traders and a list is made of people that do it and they are Encouraged to engage is much better trade practices :)

Yeah that is what I have done..I do think a discussion about how to set up a system to perhaps more enable people to make sure it does not happen again..I mean im a big boy Ill take my lickes and even though I cant afford the loss it can be made back. Just be nice to have a bit better system in place to warn of a very bad decision of thier is no lag involved

Actually, it is unlikely that they were the ones selling at that price.
You always buy from the lowest priced seller, regardless of which order you select.
As has been recommended, ask nicely and hope for the best. Accusing them be scamming you is not going to help at all.
