    I like the fact we are widening the definition of troll now.

    Did you really stop to take a picture of this before trying to buy it, or did you happen to have video recording going at the time and just took a selfie of the playback?

    Actually no to both. I tried to buy it but when I got the message that it was already gone, I had the perfect opportunity to take a picture.

    I used this thread as an example to my kids about how not to act when making mistakes. Congrats on being a cautionary tale, OP!

    A simple google search would have answered your question OP and as for the second... Thats your fault. ALWAYS check and double check your price before posting it. I have known people who have forgotten a zero on ships worth 100mil+. Learn your lesson and move on.

    First, WTH is PDT and when has a sale ever ended at 10 in the morning pdt?? Then when I put up for sale a lot of 10 lock box keys, immediately see that I forgot a zero and quickly hit the REMOVE LOT button. But does it remove it? Hell no!!! So the person that was obviously trolling got all of them for the cost of less than one key and now I'm out real cash and lost out on $49,000,000 because this game failed yet again!! Really regretting spending the money for a lifetime!!! Can't wait for support to YET AGAIN TELL ME NOTHING CAN BE DONE EVEN THOUGH THE GAME SCREWED UP BY NOT LETTING ME REMOVE THE LOT, LITERALLY ONE SECOND AFTER I POSTED IT. SMH, SO DISAPPOINTED WITH HOW THINGS WORK ON STO!!!!

    Um, STO sales (and events) have been ending at 10:00 AM PDT since the game launched in 2010.

    Also, it isn't the STO client's fault that YOU forgot to add a zero; or check the price was what you wanted before hitting 'Post'.

    Just chalk it up to "user error". It's nobody's fault other than the player if a zero is missing from the price. Consider it to be a learning experience. I always click somewhere on the screen after typing in a sale price just to make sure the commas appear in the right places so that I know it is the price I want to list it for. Been there, done that, and I learned my lesson.

    As for the sale ending at 10am PDT (Pacific Day Time), it has always been like that since I started playing STO back in January 2014, and it has likely been that way since the game launched.

    OP, there are people watching the Exchange, especially the Key market, to an almost ridiculous degree. I recently sold a bunch of keys, in stacks of 10, for juuuust under the current market value. They sold so fast that it almost felt instant. You were simply too lazy to double-check the price you'd entered, and not lucky enough to put them up during a lull in activity.​​

    The game should have updated the list of items for sale after your buy order failed. For all you know, someone listed more of them that the game prevented you from seeing. You, sir, may have also have been screwed by the game.

    Actually, they should have a 30 second delay after posting before items are listed. So if you notice a mistake afterwards, then you have a greater chance to notice and cancel. I've never messed up much though, but I do feel for those who have, despite what some might claim, we all have our human glitches at times.

    no i put in 240 -480 particles in a day and make a ton .....that would have me quit selling and drive prices through the roof and end me bother playing as its too much time to wait...if its pricey enough you should be a hell of a lot more careful

    According to the OP, the OP has had this happen before. Which also means s/he didn't learn from that mistake.

    I guess you really can't fix stupid.

    I learned to check my prices before submitting. If the OP had learned this from the previous time, this time would not have happened.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    and the more figures in the price the more you should double check

    selling something for 1k when it should be 10k oops... oh well, it's the big ones that hurt.

    Very much so, Mark. Although double checking even the small ones should be done just to keep you in practice for checking the big ones.

    That the OP has let this happen more than once says much.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    So in this short, almost miniscule or imperceptible span of time, the person was able to get 10 keys for a small fraction of what I had intended on selling all ten of them, this sounds like either a troll or someone that is so lucky they have been able to win multiple lottery jackpots!!

    You do realize a lot of people use the Exchange, right? The odds at any particular moment of someone looking for a good deal on keys is probably pretty high.

    Ouuuuch... Your timing is still amazing if you catch no-no's like this on screen.

    LOL, I had a fleet mate moaning about his error in selling his old T5 JHEC a long time ago.

    For 250k EC :D
