...is not an honest mistake. It is willful and wanton recklessness; negligence. Should you misprice an item you have no one to blame but yourself. It was not an 'accident' anymore than a drunk driver crashing and killing someone is an 'accident,' or someone refusing to put their infant in a safety seat only to have it fly through the windshield is an 'accident.' You bypassed things in place for your own safety at your own will and as such you or anyone are not entitled to have your 'mistake' corrected. I really don't see where this 'I intentionally bypassed safety measures, now you must fix it for me ' entitlement comes from.
I don't think "vending" can be considered "cheating". If you happen to get a severly mispriced item and they happen to ask for it back you can either be a total jackass and refuse and send that person to your ignore list or give the item back, for the money the vender paid for it ofcourse. The confirmation screen is to improtant to be overlooked in my opinion. If mispricing a coco for 13k teaches a gaian to pay attention to the confirm screen than it's worth losing 100k.
What i'm saying you can't put all venders in the same category. Some of them are nice. Not only you either.
Whoa O_O Where did all these comments come from? But hey, it looks like some people got the wrong idea. I don't recall a time I've ever lost an item to mispricing it accidentally. I'm generally careful. I got started on this when my friend put in a comma and it ate up the zeros after, remember that glitch? It annoyed the hell out of me that a simple technical error in Gaia's coding could cost you so much and that they took FOREVER to fix it.
The confirmation screen gets overlooked easily and so of course people miss it when they *should* be paying close attention.
I ain't gonna check it that closely when I'm selling items by the boatload though,, noooo siree. I zoom right by it. It bothers me when people refuse to return an honest mistake. I can't resell an item that's badly mispriced without feeling like an a**. That's what this is all about.
And yeah, I know I'm making money off small deals, that's why I ain't super rich and some people are, because I don't rip everyone off every chance I get.
My point was: If it's terribly underpriced it *must* be a mistake, so I should return it. If it's the usual price and I can sell it for a bit more that's just regular business and money making, not ripping anyone off. Those are two different things to me, and of course people are happy when I return their items so it seems like the right way to go.
And yeah, Gaia gold ain't real like a wallet is. It just seems like a person who's willing to cheat in a game might consider it in real life too. I'd rather we all succeeded in regular buying and selling. You know, legitimate money making.
Technicalities don't count. That wallet may technically be yours now, but when you're the one who made the mistake it doesn't feel good to be taken advantage of.
That's all. I've got a few million, and lost about 1.5 million in items due to glitches and stuff. Gaia gold itself isn't a big deal to me.
Your example of loosing the wallet is not quite explaining how it works. It would be the owner selling thier wallet for a price that is lower than the original cost.
Ever notice how people never become interested in a cause until it impacts them personally? You've found stuff accidentally priced on the market and gone "Haha, mine!" But now that you mispriced something it's the evil of Gaia! Ah, hypocrisy!
When someone isn't paying attention to what they've priced their OWN items at before going through with placing them in their store, THEY are the moron who screwed up. I've done it, and felt dumb as heck, but unlike you I don't go around attacking those who were lucky enough to have picked up the miss-priced items. Sure those people who received their misspriced items back from you must have been tickled freakin pink...I would be too. Fact is they deserved to lose those items for thousands less than they were worth. Gaia gives us the chance to look over our item (price and timing) so that this doesn't happen. If someone is being careless, they deserve to lose the damned items! Get over yourself and the idiots who do that. Not all of us are @ssholes for making money off someones OBVIOUS mistakes.
