Crafters, please double check your zeros..

Just saw this and couldn't stop laughing :rolleyes:

Ouch... That's going to leave a dent in someone's pocket book...

I'm sorry. Are you saying there should be more zeroes?

Logically speaking, one of them had a missing zero according to market rates.

I know you want lesser zeros, but no lol.

I've sniped more than my fair share of mispriced items. I've had a few /tell and ask me if I could return them and I usually do if they ask nicely (have had a few nasty tells as well, as if it was my fault they mispriced). If someone doesn't care enough to double check their prices, they deserve it imo.

Wow.. do you camp the MB or you were just lucky to spot them?

I've never happen to snip any mispriced item, but to sell a mis-melded item lol.

Leveled a BLM for "funs" and crafted a i70 pants (back in 2.1) and melded lots of +9 ACC materias (it was really cheap back then and I got lucky with the overmelds) since I lacked ACC.

Then I realized.. f*** me I crafted the wrong one. I crafted Vanya Breeches of HEALING omg... So I tried my luck and placed it on MB and asked for 750,000 gil, which was way more than the cost of crafting and cost of materias.

And it was sold. I wonder if the buyer also mistook it for a casting pants lol.

I do stalk the few items I'm interested in, but mostly dumb luck. 50k bluebird was glorious.

Me too, I managed to get a dozen of mispriced materia before. It clearly show that people blindly undercut others, it went like this :

1100 -> 5-6 on the list by retainer A
1200 -> one from retainer B, tried to undercut retainer C but missing a zero
12500 -> retainer C

I don't camp the board for this, I always have something to sell everyday so when there's a misprice for the item I'm trying to sell I will rush to the board to buy it off and resell them. I just hope they don't get frustrated over their own mistake. :D

I've had this happen to me a couple of times too, but only once on a major item (cashmere healer robe). I find it pretty extreme that people would go to lengths and ask for you to return it, even worse with rage PMs lol.
