Today was the worst day of my life, I sold my domi in hopes that i could buy a mega and procede on my galactic conquest, but lo and behold I had a cruicial reading error...... 68K NOT 68M!!!!!!!!!!!! So, kind people, donate to the USF (Uber Screwed Fund) and help me buy a new ship, or just laugh at me. If anyone else has a story like this or wants to make fun of my insane stupididy, go ahead, mabey it can drown out the sorrow. Meanwhile, im off to get another beer......

Ouch. Bad luck.
This afternoon I bought 7 125mm Rail IIs thinking they were 150mm Rail IIs, but you've made quite a loss.
At least you've made someone happy.
Ps: if this is actually the worst day of your life, you might need a break from Eve. ---

How about losing a fully t2 fitted HAC to a "first-podding-of-the-day" gatecamp. And don't even get me started on war losses. As for that contracts and sell orders..all that comes to mind is ugh. I recall someone once screwed up on escrow and sold a rattlesnake for a HECK of a lot less than its worth due to a screw up in the number of zeros
Eve is all about learning from your mistakes. Thats one that probably will never occur again.

Of course loosing a dominix is not very nice, it just happends to oun of my Members who selled a Scropion for couple of 100k's.
You just need to be aware of the Critical Moments and don't "sleep" when dealing with the market. THere where a _lot_ of improvements like regional % average and extra question if you wanna sell then/high/low.)
That remembers me the old griefing tactics where some1 brought 5.000 Molnjers Torps for 500.000.000,00 ISK. (back then the "Zero's & Ones" in Market where a common way to let stuff really look like Cheap instead it costs 5000 % more.
or the day i lost 600k SP due to an not Updated Clone (was skilling beyond his save value)
nonethe less, dont take it to seriously, theres a lot mutch worser stuff that happends every day, and that not "targeting" you.
We hope you recover fast from your recennt loss ;)

I find that taking a ship on a suicide run or self destructing it works better then selling it. Then again, that could be because I like explosions too much

I want it to be known that my corp mate ISENTRO did the exact same think and sold an Ishtar for under 200k.
He was obviously quite upset at the time, but I think he has forgotten how nubsauce this makes him. If he does not respond here I would encourage you all to evemail him and remind him what a failure he is. (He'll take it all in good spirits don't worry)
To the OP: It should be the scammers that feel bad, not you.

Many years ago I once escrowed a Scorp to a member of MoO for 0 isk ......
As you can imagine I then recieved "more than a couple" of convo's from MoO members asking for free ships ;/
Moral of the story .... check, check and check again
/me decided not to mention the shuttle he bought for 10M isk when drunk

I do feel bad for him, I remember when I was a noob and bought a cormorant instead of a Ferox in trade window.
I had sold almost all my stuff to get the isk and watched like 2 or 3 weeks worth of work go down the tubes.
Advice mate, Learn from this, alway measure twice and cut once if you catch my drift.
I will try to sendyou some iskies when I get back in game,(if I remember) because I still remember the sting of being burnt when a noob.

I used to buy ships that were below the insurance payout but not by much, so that when i destroyed the ships id make a 'profit', but i wasnt taking into account the cost of insurance there for a bout a week. Needless to say, i felt pretty dumb.

I hope you mean in-character. If it was actually the worst day in your REAL life, ever, then.. well, you've not experienced much have you?

A few months ago, I almost put a Vagabond up for auction with a buy-out price of 2 million isk, not 200 million. Hurrah for re-reading the information I put in!
