[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 4998570, member: 111387"]I've got a fat-finger story to add to this thread. I was preparing for a lot that I was interested in bidding for live that was coming down the pike in a couple of more lots. I had the screen-arrow staged over the 'Place A Bid Now' button. I inadvertently left-clicked on the button prematurely bidding on a coin that I had zero interest in whatsoever. Despite hoping that some other bidder would rectify my error, I won the lot; as apparently nobody else had any interest in it either. To add insult to injury, the lot that I had intended to bid on hammered above my set max that I was willing to put forth. After fees, currency conversion and shipping it came out to around $70 to pay for the one coin. Thankfully it wasn't a massively expensive mistake, whew. From now on, I keep the arrow far away from the 'Place A Bid Now' button until I am ready to bid.[/QUOTE]
