Trade mistake

[Larili]

One thing you have not factored in with regard to pricing and `greed', is when players use the TO to keep production going or to star small amounts when storage is full/nearly full. In these cases they are priced NOT to sell, although I am still amazed that some still do in my case, even when there are cheaper lots on at the same time! I have to conclude that some just don't have coin but have granite and are desperate for those resources I have placed.....everyone puts value relating to their own circumstance I guess

All you can do is mail the other player explaining your mistake and hope they are good enough to return the trade. If not then do remember it cost you nothing in the first place and move on.

Accidentally selling items you're trying to store in the star, or are quick posting to retrieve for an "acquire"/"gather or produce" quest, is fairly easy to avoid. Just set the cost for something that either doesn't really exist on your server, and to be certain ask for a lot of them, for example 10 of the very old Football adventures:




Or something that does exist but is somewhat rare and expensive, for example 10 of the Frozen Manor or Bone Church or 10,000 of a fancy Military unit:







It will still look strange, and there is still a very slim chance someone might actually be able, and choose, to pay a price like that but it's extremely unlikely.

With Easter incoming and Eggs on the horizon it is worth taking extra care posting trades and purchasing, since in the end there's not a lot be done in the event of a mistake gone wrong. Like a number of people have mentioned; most people will be okay swapping back a mistake if asked nicely, but every now and again someone won't.
