While checking the market in Rens with an Alt the station trade window popped up, a Maelstrom got moved inside and the check icon appeared, as the other side obviously clicked "accept trade".... FPS game "mouse agility" made me accept that trade within splitseconds... and there she was, a packaged Maelstrom sitting in my hangar, worth 150m+.
Another splitsecond later a mail arrived: "ugh, oh, please.."
/me grinned. What happened? Scammer fail? "I misclicked!" was the answer!
I checked whether the story he told me could be correct... he had positive standings, 1+ year old character, there in fact was a person in station guest list window sorted next to me alphabetically, to whom I opened up chat window and asked if he was missing something. "Maelstrom!" was the prompt answer, so short story short:
I forwarded the Maelstrom to the recipient.
Boring, eh? Ha, ha, ha!

Edited by: Marchocias on 08/12/2010 12:37:05 You gave it back? WTF is wrong with you?
Edit: Obviously, you shouldn't keep hold of it because you want it... you should keep hold of it because HE wants it. ---- I belong to Silent Ninja (Hopefully that should cover it). |

And how will they learn from that mistake if you run along after them wiping the drool off their chins? --Vel

what most people would mean...(at a minimum at least) is to get a small reward out of your "honest" trade to him if he wants it back.
That's what I would of done it...honestly.

The tears about the lack of tears in this thread is worth giving the Maelstrom back.

I did something similar with a scammer once, in Jita, for a 'CNR'... i offered the asking price of 320.500000.
He thought that was reasonable :)

Chances are, the guy was a scammer and traded to the wrong guy.

OP:
All I can say is, what kind of sick pervert are you? What do you mean coming here with a nice juicy story of greed and then telling us you gave the ship back!!!!?
IMHO, you should be banned for life from C&P!

Well, I got 2x 2m donations and a proposal after returning it. THAT in fact was a bit of an insult. :)

I think the fact that both of them ****ted themselves when they realized they gave it away would be enough.
"You'll learn from your mistake" is no excuse for taking something that doesn't belong to you.
