Aaargh!! Silly!

[ranga_muffin]

I just made such a silly! I had a zed codestone and I put it in my shop for 42000. Or so I thought!! I left off the last zero and now someone's bought it :( at least it's 'only' 40k and not like 100k, but such a silly mistake...

On a different note, I hope better than you updates this week. I love the weekly challenge!

Sorry to hear about your loss... Wherever your Zed Codestone may be, I hope it is in a better place now. :P

 

I've fallen prey to this mistake. I lost around 9k due to missing a zero as well, which was a LOT to me at the time (was no good at saving Neopoints).

[erato_]

Been there, done that. I can't remember what it was but I think it was around 25k :/

[nousha]

It has happened to me too, once. I don't remember the exact amount but it seemed a lot to me :)

Sorry to hear about that.

 

I have a sneaking suspicion that this has happened to most Neopians at some time, even though they would never admit it! I know I've done this at least once. I guess it's all part of learning to check before you click lol :)

[ranga_muffin]

yeah you're probably right. thanks guys. It's so frustrating as I usually do check. but oh well

[Angeló]

it happens to almost everyone , including me - several times hehe - just try to be careful :)

[fullonparanoid]

Oh, the dreaded 'dropped zero'...I have done that SO MANY TIMES.

 

I have actually had users buy the item then contact me to see if I meant to sell at that price. Once, someone just sent the item back to me before I even knew it had been purchased (granted, they 'kinda' knew me from the boards...but still, it was nice).

 

So, yah, it has probably happened to everyone who sells from their User Shop.

 

That does not make it any less frustrating though!

 

Good luck with your sales and hopefully you will make up the nps quickly.

 

Cheers!

 

:P

Sorry for your loss :( ... It has happened to me numerous times. Just a few weeks ago it happened to me, lost around 30k on an item. It's very upsetting, but at least you know you probably made another neopians day!! :)

 

Hope you're able to make up for it somehow!

I'm not good at math, but I am pretty good at keeping my prices where they should be.

 

I count my zeros as I type them, and make sure the key actually registers xD

[x_emrys_x]

I'm sure I've done this too but I can't think of any examples. I also make the opposite mistake and add an extra zero!

[just_shaye]

Thats rough =[ Ive made those mistakes too. It happens to the best of us
