@asianandiknowit Reminds me when my friend gave me some godly gears and I thought I could profit by NPCing it LOL

Long time ago, when iTCG was around, I sold a Subani Ankh thing for 1.5mil to one guy, and a day later I sold another one to a guy for 30mil. A week later and they were worth 80mil.
This is way back when, when 1 mil was about equal to what 1bil is now. Maybe that's a bit of exaggeration. But I had more mesos than my friends could ever get and I always kicked ass in CPQ.

Went 0/12 on advanced gollux scrolls on my superior earring. Used about 5 lucky day's too.

To this day I've still not passed a gollux scroll on it.

I moved an equipment to the wrong character thinking that it's movable within the account. Not reading that said item can be moved once only.

[quote=qwertyalt]Doing czak for charm yesterday and accidentally dropped my cra hat instead of czak helm.[/quote]

I've almost done that so many times XD
I always spend a few sec checking to make sure I am clicking the charm item and another few sec to make sure what I'm doing is right.
Considering my charm is almost lvl 90 I've risked it quite a bit since it's basically all from gollux, cht and czak.

Selling my first pair of Spectrum Goggles way back when I first started playing. I price checked with the guy who was buying from me. He scammed me. I sold to him for 10m. ;-; QQ

I worry about this all the time with my drop gear, so naturally I ended up item locking everything for 3 months. Out comes star force 1 month later and now I can't enhance anything until the locks expire.

I'm so completely terrified of doing this when I put on charm equips that I unequip all of the slots they're going to and put them at the bottom of my equip inventory. ;;

[quote=Jedi]Did you marry her on MapleStory?[/quote]

Yep. On several different characters actually. I ended up leaving Bera because of it.

Was pretty close to marrying her in real life too. Long distance relationship, but we saw each other every few months. Sob story for another time though. lol

Missing the ever annoying yet extremely important digit while setting up a shop on items. I've gotten super hard on myself about it.
Saved myself from selling a faf wand for 40m and so many other larger things in the past few months ^.^
