Lost 1.5 million, yes, million today.

The story starts when I paid pure that I earned in the stock market on a Faerie Queen Doll for the avatar. Then I started loaning it to people via the TP. There were several trades that went well until someone neomailed me offering a Skarl Royal Crown. I did a quick check and it was going for about 3 million at the time. Going on the assumption that it was a loan (my description clearly stated that I would only accept pure for purchase), I made the trade with them. Then neomailed them telling them to re-bid the FQD for the Crown that I was putting back into trades. He basicly laughed in my face and informed me that I had just completed a sale transaction whether I wanted to or not. Thus began my woes.

I told myself that it was his loss (the crown being worth about 3 million at the time) and started to explore how I was going turn this crown into a H4000 helmet or something of the like. Within 2 days there were 2 more crowns on the market, deflating the price to a little more than 1.5 million.

I still was ok, I just realized I needed to get rid of it quickly before I lost money on the deal. I started trying to offer it on other FQDs in an effort to make it someone else's problem. I felt horrible about doing it, but I had worked hard for my points and I didn't want to watch it all crumble.

Within a few more days there were still more crowns on the market dropping the price to about a million. I grew more desprate, offering the crown on every likely honey potion and ramtor's spellbook I could find. No one would accept my offer, some just let the offer rot for a day or two, losing myself precious time as more crowns trickled on to the post.

Soon I started to offer on mid-range paint brushes, like the fire one. Still more rejections as the price of the crown dropped below 700k.

Today, I started bidding on Baby Paint Brushes, with more rejections. Finally I got accepted... on a Baby Paint Brush Plushie I had mistakenly bid on in my rush to make an offer before leaving for class today. There is no emoticon to express my loss and my relief that I have gotten rid of that hideous crown.
