here i was, with a spare battleship hull which i wanted to turn into some liquid isk.

as i was focusing on the numbers to put up the cheapest sell order, i forgot to type in the last 3 zeros…  
it would sell in an isntant to the highest buyer then, right?

nope, we do things differently around here…

you failed ! and i´m pretty sure that the majority of eve have sold something as you did or bought somthing way to expensive ! thats nothing new … you didnt conzentrate at your stuff and eve is very fast and very hard with its consequenzes ! you can be happy that it was only a T1 BS hull and you just sold it way cheaper then it is ! the other way is way more painful …

At one point, I was selling a reasonably prices Damage Control II, and suddenly I find that someone bought it at a crazy price by adding 000. So, here I was with a close to 1B tip.

The other day I mistyped and sold some Warden IIs for 1m less than intended.

This stuff happens. It’s much less likely now since CCP added some guardrails to the marker order tool. Though I have to say, the non-detailed view of the market is extremely unintuitive.
