Reading the forum i saw someone escrowed a ship to themself instead of an alt and now cant get it back for 24 hours. This got me to thinking of the worst thing i did on escrow. This happened when my alt went shopping for me in empire then I escrowed to my main character 25 million isk of mods only I put my the name in the description box rather than the restrict to box!! Doh!
I'm sure loads of people have done this. Whats your worst escrow mistake?

Edited by: Zavernus Hamarabi on 26/12/2005 00:02:50 I've seen escrows for "Charon" when inspected it reveals 1 unit of "Carbon" I always forget to include a specific person when i escrow, you can lose alot of stuff like that. (Also make someone very happy) /edit I almost escrowed someones entire item hanger to the public for 0isk because of that. (Transport deal from lowsec to highsec)

I heard that someone put a Fleet Tempest up on escrow for 0 ISK, only he put the restrict to name in the description.

I missed out on a 120m ISK Fenrir because I had my money tied up in assets, aswell as a 110m ISK Charon which I discarded as being 1 unit of Carbon, then when I did check like 30 seconds later it turned out to be real.

I looted a 125 mm railgun and took it to station to sell. I noticed nobody was buying them so I put in an order for 50 units. A few days later I was in the same station. I saw that someone was buying them so I sold it. The gun disappeared from my inventory and re-appeared a second later. I sold it again for the same price and the same thing happened, so I sold it about 25 more times. I was raking in the $$.
I checked my transactions to make sure I was getting paid and yup! I was. I launched the calculator and did some quick math. At this rate I can make over 5 million per hour!!!!
I sold it about a dozen more times before I noticed my "orders" tab flashing at me. I had almost filled my 50 unit order and realized what a dum-ass I was.

Edited by: DMAN666vic on 26/12/2005 02:02:05 I just got an Iteron Mark V today for 1 ISK in PATOR today. I also scored some morphite and named mods the same way a few months ago.
Sorry guys if this was one of you, just keep in mind;

i was in the BPO chat room and seen a guy who "said" he bought a T2 bpo for 300mill and sold it for 1.2bill isk.
aparently the guy he bought it off didnt check the right amount during transfer.

The only ever mistake was a fleet pest. I put it up non restricted for 0 isk. I was probabally as steamin as i am now, when i did it.
If re-installing somthing does not fix your problem, bin it.

lol dropped 80M worth of crok up to escrow @ 0 isk and put the name in the label instead of restricted.
A good morning worth of mining down the drain :)
interesting thing was that someone claimed it but it was in 0.0 so i am not sure if they ever managed to pick it up somehow.

An ex-corpmate of mine picked up 7 Scorpions in Nonni for 67K each instead of 67M.
Another corpmate sold a shuttle in Gehi for 100M and then took pity on the guy who bought it and sent him all the money back.

worst mistake i ever made: Escrowing a providence freighter for 20mill isk (no idea why) best mistake i took advantage of: i had 2,000,000 unit buy order for isotopes at 1isk/unit that got filled in one huge sell order. I sold the isotopes back to the guy for 700mil or something.

I put on an escrow from my alt to myself of 300mill of tech 2 rails only to realise that I didnt put the destination player in...
The escrow was on there for about 30 seconds before someone got a hell of a lot richer.. I havent made that mistake again
