Steps:
I had 99,999 sparks, so I wanted to spend them by purchasing "Copy of Rem's Tale, chapter 3"
I repeated purchasing until I ran out of sufficient sparks.
I opened my /sack to transfer newly purchased copies and noticed I had only 2, even though I "spent" all but 5969 sparks.
I hadn't spent any sparks this week. I don't have any other items from that menu, I didn't accidentally purchase something else.

Got 2, and was just watching the number of sparks I had available in the dialog, until it dropped down below 7500. Went to transfer them to my /sack and saw that I only had 2 copies. And I'm out of sparks.

Not that it should matter, I haven't spent any sparks this week. Oddly, I have 5969 sparks available.

99,999 - 15000 - 5969 = 79,030 sparks lost.

1) Bug reports will not be investigated unless you use the template found in the sticky thread

2) There is a 100k cap on sparks spent within a 1 week span of time, and you've most likely hit this limit. The NPC should say "you can only spend this many more sparks" if you try to spend an amount that exceeds this limit. This limit was put in place to reduce RMT influence.

Thanks for the reply. Added bug template. I did point out that I hadn't spent any sparks for the week yet, and even if I had, it would still have been a problem since it took my sparks.
