Originally by: Marchocias Edited by: Marchocias on 14/09/2008 18:21:09 So I log in to Eve, and I immediately notice something isn't quite right; there appears to be an extra 1 positioned in front of the balance in my wallet. Immediately I check the wallet journal, and see that 1,000,000,000 has indeed been credited to me, apparently because "nightshade bat bought stuff from" me.
Warm fuzzy feelings of anticipation. 
Now, this doesn't make much sense. All of the stuff I have on the market, put together, is worth less than 50 million. I head straight to the transaction log, to see, incredibly, that 'nightshade bat' has bought a single solitary Sabretooth Light Missile off me... Note, I have these listed at 10.01 isk.
Gobsmacked disbelief. 
Having never heard of this guy, I naturally figure he must have made some kind of grevious error. I check my Eve mail. Indeed I have a message from the dude, informing me that he'd rather like me to send the cash to his alt character 'inifinite Singularities', as this is for whom the cash was intended. I also have a message from this alt, asking me to convo her when I log in.
The evil smile on my face gives way to sidesplitting maniacal laughter. 
I am now left wondering what the ideal course of action should be. Do I: 1) Give him his money back. (As if.) 2) Give him a fair chunk of it back, as a gesture of good will... say 100 million? (Pffft) 3) Give him 1 isk, and tell him to do one. 4) Inform him that it was a pleasure doing business with him, and that I would be happy to fill any further missile buy orders at the same price in the future. 5) Contract him 1 additional missile, due to my buy-1-get-1-free offer on all purchases of 1 billion or over. 6) Ignore him. 7) Tell him to get real, or get ****ed?
Yours, a considerably richer, Marchocias. 
Keep it. He was trying to funnel by selling something for a large price not realizing game mechanics would give the isk to the lowest seller. Not your fault, tell him to stop using trial accounts to funnel isk to his isk sellers.
