vendored banishing rapiers / smiter

[EazyWeazy]

Don't feel bad. Someone did this on Thelanis yesterday also. I was able to buy a nice Banishing Rapier from the House D vendor.

how do you do this and not get logged out?

Try it... ignore the dialog that will eventually appear.

that would explain it. thanks all. never need to do this, but always nice to find out new stuff.

Yes, Yes, I'm not on Kyhber, Deal with it... I have a couple questions....

First, Why wuldnt you Lock High end Weapons as soon as you get them on a Character? and since one of the weapons.. THat you got back.. Wasnt even mentions, I t seem syou dont lock weapons you've had for a while even...

Why were you shopping the AH for a Smiter when you didnt even have enough money on the character to buy one off the Broker?

2 Banishing Rapiers and a Banishing Smiter is pretty far from 5 Mil Plat in value.... 5 Million Gold each. maybe..... Did you have Nothing in your Inventory locked?

I feel for ya dude.. I've hit the Sell All before.... Luckily, I do have a habbit of locking everything I use so I just lost about 100k plat or so in COnsumables..... (Including about a Dozen Major Mana Pots.. that killed me..... ) ANd yes, it was Pre Buyback tab..

Yea I'm stupid..

sure am, tonight I did perhaps the most foolhardy thing ever! I was swapping my rapiers from my rogue over to my new ranger.. sent over two banishing rapiers, and a smiting rapier.

Decided not to organize all the weapons until I found myself another smiter, so alas I went to the AH found nothing within my price range there, then decided to head to the House D vendor and look around.

This is about the time I had my stupid moment, because after parusing the list I was apparently on my sell tab (It's the default fyi) and thought I was on the buy list, my stupid hand gravitates to the sell all button for some dumbself reason and POOF!! 5 million plat worth of rapiers vanishes into thin air.

Yes I know I know you could have bought them back, well on this toon I happen to be broke at the moment, and there were a number of people around the vendor..

Not singling you out, as the purchaser but one was a Free Companion (hell I was a Free Companion myself until the reformation when I decided to go back to Fallen Heroes with my sorc Nocx)

By the time I logged out and back in on my bard to buy my gear back it was gone all except for the +2 Silver Paralyzing Kama (by far the least worthy item of the ones lost..)

Not a plea, but if the person is out there and feeling like they got a steal, you did. If your feeling generous and want to sell them back to me I will buy them at the purchase cost that you obtained them from the vendor. Sorry I don't have 1.5 mill per rapier to pay you what they are actually worth.

If not and you wish to remain silent and enjoy the misfortune of an idiot that's fine too, I only hope that one day someone will repay you with kindness should you ever make the same mistake.

PS. Turbine, would it be too much to ask for a confirmation button before selling items to a Broker? doesn't have to be to all vendors, because a normal vendor you can buy your things back from, but brokers are for good.

FYI: The missing items are lvl 10 and one of the banishers was lvl 12 if I'm not mistaken (Banishing of Shattermantle lvl 12 Rapier) Don't remember the specifics of the other two.

Viz heard the same responses from myself and other guildies... I know you're bringing it up as advice but like all accidents is just a reflection of level of caution. I remember selling off a fragment of the silver flame to the Everful's barkeep way back when that item was useful, I had moved it over from another girl to a girl who had just reached a lvl to use it... back then there were no lock downs and it got bundled with a pile of gems. Oh course not the same as Antz' rapiers here but still some silly thing to happen... felt both disappointed and for lack of a better word (stupid) ... Is really nothing stupid about it ... is just slight neglect - still you kind of feel a loss, quite silly to feel so over a few pixels and quantitive data... yet still you feel down.

Anyway... if anyone does happen along Antz gear pls send him a tell or myself and I think I can compensate ones kindness...

You know this is unforunate. However when the game first came out you did not have the locking, sell listing, and double clicking we have today. We did not have the buy back option either. Think of it this way. If you thought you were on the buy then you were looking for a steal. You jumped at the chance to buy what you thought was cheap gear that some noob put up not knowing what they had. Anyone who bought these items were in the same mind set as you were. Though unforunate better to just let it go and start farming. I have sold tons of stuff including a tomb by accident once :P. Talk about stupid

[Vizzini]

Not a ploy, I actually did it and if you read the post I'm not asking for anyone to go soft on me. The person who got them know it's true and honestly I could care less if you believe me or not.

hmm....if this really happened to you, sorry to hear. however, sounds to me like a ploy to get some soft hearted fool to basically give these items away to you.

[Vizzini]

I was giving current AH market value.

In Fact Boldrin, one of them was the Banishing Rapiers I bought from you lol

You said 5 million plat worth of rapiers , did you have like a dozen of them that you sold??

[Vizzini]

Alandale you should know better lol, I know I havn't been over in IFV for awhile, and yes normally I do lock them. I should have done it this time as well, it's my stupid mistake and it won't ever happen again. At least not by my hand.

Yeah the market is all haywire now. They go for 500-600k plat each. No one buys those outrageous ones on the AH. It does suck though. I've vendored Bloodstones and lots of good stuff back in the day, but now I don't sell at the brokers I use regular vendors so I can buy back. Less money but you can screw up and get it back with buyback

[Voalkrynn2]

50 million gold! Holy big bank account Batman I've only had 250K plat, 2.5 million gold, like once.

like i said, i'm suspicious, but if it happened, i feel your pain and am sorry you lost so much. i've been playing about 2 years now and have never acquired any of those. the best i've gotten are 1 +5 puncturing rapier (which i've lost) and 1 weakening rapier of puncturing that i just pulled yesterday.
