lololololol, didn't even realise, sigh. What's your biggest typo in your shop that's cost you? (Or maybe you realised quick enough to fix it?).

I post mine on the snipe thread because that's what they are -- just not for me :( It's that stupid 0 in the price field that jacks everyone up! I just select and erase it each time now. I type in the right number but the last digit gets stripped off. I have had 4 that I remember clearly: 2 were gourmet foods (each off about 15K), 1 scrambled rainbow negg (4,500 instead of 45,000) and a 16K plushie for 1,600. *angry* ~ Mimi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ Mimi's Ménagerie ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc

Haha yeah, that must be it, I've never had that problem before, and I've never entered an incorrect number without noticing, I normally just double click and enter the price, I musn't have noticed it didn't highlight it haha. Unlucky for you, thankfully it wasn't 10 of them or something :D I was just talking to the buyer also, they had no idea and don't even know what they're worth, just an impulse buy, some seriously dumb luck there haha.

Each time I see a shopper buy all of an item I have stocked with more than 1 my heart sinks a little. I recently had an item that always sold around 9K that over-night went to 20K and stayed there a couple weeks. LOL! The same thing happened to me with the 16K plushie -- an impulse buy @ 1,600. The buyer was a friend and I mailed her to let her know what she had. I was glad it was her, it didn't sting so badly. ~ Mimi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ Mimi's Ménagerie ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc

Heh, I guess that's part of having a shop. I've done that quite a few times. But I lost more than you. It was all paintbrushes, around 5 quantity in total. I didn't realize that I price it 9.9k instead of 99k. Oh well.
WOW! Selling: Maps, Neggs, Stamps, Coins, Cards, ETC! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=1434sweet#p

A few weeks ago I sold 6 Speckled pb's for 3,799 in stead of 37,999. I just laughed it off, cause there was nothing I could do about it anymore, bur it still stung:(.
