So first off I am about a 3 week old Eve player, I decided to get some money with plexes so I could invest in the market of buying and selling, I came across a buy order today that wanted 3 Tuvan Modified Kinetic Plating for 2.5billion isk, I then purchased one for 839million isk. Their were only 4 of them on the market. Then when I attempt to sell it to this person it would not let me sell it. I was stumped thinking it was some sort of ****** up exploit.
Then as I looked into it further I noticed he only accepts 3 at a time not 2.5bill each, yes I overlooked this but again I was blinded buy the fact that it was a possible error by a player and I tried to get money off of it. Someone posted in local "to bad I don't have money to buy this, look at the market error (link to item)"
Now all the other buy orders are below 150mill, making me think that maybe he tried to do 250mill in a buy order and added an extra 0 by accident making it 2.5 billion. I think he purchased all of them off of the market then puts them up their at inflated prices, then makes a stupid sell order that may catch someone off guard, like me. Now I could only buy one so now I cannot sell it back to him to make my money back because I would need 3 of the said item. So basically if he got them for a lot cheaper he just made profit on me and I cannot get it back because of how he has it set up.
Now I am not even sure if I can resell this item for even 750mill, unless someone else see this little scheme and has the money to fall for it. Basically making me have to then link, " look at this market glitch" man this is ******* stupid 
Do you think this was a scam? |

Well I have always been good at playing the market in mmos, however I do not understand enough of the markets mechanics yet, therefore I got scammed by something that seemed to be a good deal, in most mmos scams are done by player to player not market interactions since most devs make those solid to prevent exploits.
And honestly even though I am 3 weeks old I love making in game money even if I have no use for it. I sit around and train skills, would be nice to train skills work the market and in 6 months from now have a sweet ship with plenty of high end upgrades that keep it alive.
I can use a Raven right now, but if I hop into one I have low lvl rigging and cant use most of the tech 2 mods. I would get raped! So I train up stuff and play the market. Sucks that I blew like about 30 bucks in isk.
If I was scammed by a player interaction then that's one thing. But this is stupid, it seem like more of an exploit. |

Btw, hope you posted on alt as this one will most surely be on every 2. Gankers Watchlist
So what iv had no issues. Let them try eventually I will have the skill to defend myself. Besides I don't fly what I don't want to lose.
ATM I am sitting in wormhole space in a venture. If I die ooooo 100k is all I need to rebuild basically.

Does anyone here know this is a super ******* old thread? Why keep digging it up?
I buy PLEX so what?
I make plenty of money from POS bashes, SOMER blink Promos and Trading. Hell I snagged 10 Gilas when they were 135mill. Now they are 210mill in Jita and they keep going up thanks to the new expansion.
Trust me I have learned a lot and make a decent living in EVE.
I also make a decent living IRL and if I choose to drop $100 on PLEX then that's my business.
EVE WAS MADE FOR ME! Just wish I would have found it sooner!!! |

I get a decent payout for POS bashing with my corp, as well as other things like faction warfare, ganking, and trading.
And I have not purchased any plex for quite some time now, nor do I need to ATM. But if I have a spare $20 laying about it never hurts to add another 740mill to my bank. |
