Kinda stupid might be, but we all make misstakes ..

Anyhow someone put up a thread about sales at a certain house, ill run off and have look.. been at an ME a for a few mins before that.
At that certain house, I by misstake pressed buy when my intention was too look at stats... So end of story is I get a jewel for 5p that at best is worth 300g, ill pm the owner and polity ask him for an dialog about it, and all i get in replay is "soz i cant help u"

I know its a longshot, and bougt might be bougt, and I should not have pm'd owner, if said jewel were even close to worth 5p nor put up this thread !

After re-reading your post a few times, it looks like you have bought a naff gem for 5p that is worth 300g. If you bought it, even by accident, it is bought - and the owner will probably only buy it back, if he was using his CM for "storage space".

Otherwise I think you're out of luck :/ and the CM owner will be happy. Sounds like quite a good tactic putting high price items worth nothing near things that are likely to be bought ^^

And Right click and Shift+I (from memory) brings up the info on the item? no need to even go near the BUY button.

just got to be paying attention around CMs.. seen people put up a page with powerpots for 5g each.. then have 2 of those pots priced 5p .. wont mention name(s).

but sadly that was your own and if seller wont help you he is in his full right to not do so ..

stats on jewel? :)

It can go the other way too, I put a respec stone out once for 5p or something. Or at least I thought I did that. Returned to CM some days later and found 5g lying waiting for me.. ofc the buyer didn't contact me, I prolly wouldn't either tbh...

I sell most junk scrolls for 5s, but thats sort of different. ;)

I think you can kiss your money good-bye, but I guess you could try finding the guy via Duskwaves or somthing (I think they list alts of characters, i'm not sure) - never know, i'd like to think i'd replace it but i've never been in that sort of situation.

I will, Stormie is one. Have a nice screenshot of the discussion that followed afterwards (no, I didn't buy them, just think it's pathetic; even more so since it was intentional). So if you're buying stuff at his house, keep your eyes open.

Goes for any house really, it's (sadly) getting quite common.

Can't believe how greedy people have become.

I use to put entrance return tokens on my CM for higher ammounts of money, since im returning to entrance quite often. Im taking it for granted that people do not buy the ones that cost a plat. Guess I could change the price to avoid missunderstandings. :eek:

I was actually doing to garden work when sombody came to buy somthing from me and got an earful about selling the return tokens at a higher price. I explained I was only taking advantage of people too stupid to bring their own. ;)

I bought a random dropped staff with some funky stats day before I got ToA for some insane overprice just to find out similair staffs dropped every 2 pulls from harpies with a salvage value of 10 gold, not the same but anyway...

Also once I tried to sell market return tokens for 20 plat instead of 20 gold... nice profit :) , Ofcourse I would refund such obvious scam price.
