Ive maybe done it once, but i've also had people buy from me at a high price by accident too.

I always double check orders before clicking ok.

From the sounds of things, a 250k item x10 shouldn't have cost you too much (i wouldn't place buy orders for more than 10-20 in value anyway)

A lesson learned at a cheap price :)

I know you should not compare to real life but its a bit like wanted to buy a car for -ú20k and accidnetly offering -ú200k to saleman and him closing the deal there with no recourse for the higher amount, a bit harsh imo.

I know it sucks, and I've made costly mistakes as well, but rather think of it as you placing an advertisement to buy a car for 200k, and someone accepting your offer.

That's how the market works, you place an order to pay X for an item and someone then accepts your offer. It just gives people that already have sell orders up the opportunity to accept your buy offer first.

I understand your point and if there was a buy order that existed kinda would have been less miffed but under current rules if i place a big for 1x tritanium for 100Tillion ISK and have the wallet then that would be filled with no buy order existing, just seems a bit off to me thats all.

i recently sold a charon freighter for 130 million. **** happens.

Recently started trading and this morning made a very expensive error. Whilst editing my buying order added an additional zero therefore buying the item for x10 the value i had intended to even though there were valid sell prices at about 20% above buy. The max sell price of the item at the time was only 40% ish on buy prices. There was not even a warning message about being over value which surprised me as have been buying shidl boosters for 50% of buy price at 250k and having to click the OK button to the market price deviatation warning.

Am I the only one thinking this isn't cricket and in making the error should only have been charged the active buy price, even if only the highest sell price would have been fairer. Just that that on click have taken away a whole week of profits and left me rather demoralised :-(

Thanks you in advance for the contructive comments.

It is helpful to have an alt in this situation. Just fill the order with your other toon quickly and you will only be out the transaction costs.

Am I the only one who likes this game mechanic? I make a huge amount of isk (and some great tear mails) from others mistyping their amounts and buying items from me at an exorbitant amount. The key here is to make sure the isk made off of others mistakes far exceed your own.

bummer, just think when trading in bigger, better than buying one for 13b though I suppose....
