You're right, it's up to us sellers to be more attentive, and lesson learned. But it's true--it is better to give than to receive. When I saw the pleased reaction (well, "saw" the smileys :D) from the earlier time, it was worth it, knowing that I made her feel a little better that day. :) And thanks to all who replied, you made my day too.

This is a bit long, but some players may appreciate what I'm about to say. I'm only an average game player at best, so instead I spend more time trying to find items I can resell. I snag things from the Thrift Shoppe and Money Tree, and I used to spend a lot of time at the Igloo Garage Sale and other such places where treasures await. I did very well, back when I used to spend a few hours a day at it. Now, it's just a few minutes at a time, but I still enjoy seeing if I can get lucky and grab something worth some extra NP. Several times over the years, while trying to estimate an item at the Wizard, I'll see something that is priced way too low, and then buy it cheaply. However, I always wonder if they actually meant to price it that low, or if it was their mistake. For example, several months ago I got something cheaply, then neomailed them, and it turns out, they did undercharge, and appreciated my willingness to give it back to them so they could resell it at a better price for them. We then became friends.
 
Today, this happened again. I had a few Pirate Cutlass in my shop, and was using the Wizard, and saw a Cutlass for only 1 NP so I bought it. Then, I immediately mailed the seller. Turns out, she did make a mistake. She wasn't too concerned about it, and even said I could keep it. However, I sent another neomail later, asking if we could be Neofriends, so I could give it back to her (haven't heard back yet). Here's where it gets ironic and funny. While transferring one of the Cutlass from my Shop to my Inventory, I accidentally set the price of each sword to only 1 NP--probably the same mistake she had made. Obviously, all 3 of them sold before I could fix the mistake. The ironic part is that, I paid nothing for them, and made nothing (well, 3 NP)--just wasted some picks for the day. I'll never miss the money (only 15,000), but no one likes to do something dumb. (It could have been a lot worse, something rare instead, that was under priced, so maybe it was worth the lesson.)
 
I don't expect any of the buyers to neomail me, asking if I made a mistake. However, it would be nice to know that there are some Neopians who care enough to at least ask if that was what I meant to charge. If they would do just that, I'd gladly let them keep the sword, and maybe I'd get something far more valuable. A new friend, and restored faith in people's honesty and sympathy for others. 0:)

Just recently I put a red codestone in my shop for 2k instead of 20k like I had wanted. I could have neomailed the person who bought it but honestly why bother. It was my mistake for not checking my price before submitting.
 
A while back when I didn't know much about the secret laboratory maps. If I got one from playing key quest I automatically just put it into my shop for 5k. Guaranteed most of the ones I put in there I priced way too low, but you know it's my mistake for not checking and looking into things first.
 
Not once did anyone neomail me after such a purchase.
 
I think it's a waste of time to worry about such things. If you make a mistake oh well, just pay better attention next time.

That is really nice of you! :)
 
I can relate to this as misprice always happen at this other site I'm at. And very often, it happens to big ticket items: 8 digits became 7 & so forth.
Some of the buyers who got lucky will block the sellers to prevent further communication. But what I really can't stand though are those who take screenshots & gloat about it. I mean fair enough, the seller was careless, the buyer got lucky but... there's no need for that :c
