"Oops" Purchases

laurabow · 2014-06-07 05:56:21

What are your "oops!" purchases? The things you bought by mistake and as soon as you saw the dialog box that said Item Bought, you went "Oops!"

Two examples:

1. I was in the Makeover section earlier, trying out a new mouth. Meant to hit Reset My Basket, but must have hit Buy instead, because when the page refreshed, my doll had a new mouth.

2. A long time ago I was doing a quest and one of the steps required you to buy a hat. I hit Buy, but never got the second dialog box to confirm the purchase, so I hit Buy two more times before I realized $$ was being deducted from my account. Yep, because of a small bug, I had purchased 3 identical hats.

Three times?! Wow!

My Oops purchases were similar to your last one. I did it for two different things at different times but I only had 1 extra unneeded one.

Another one was I bought the wrong shoes. I thought my mouse was on the boots I wanted to uy, but I clocked on another one near it and I bought it oblivious to the fact that it was the wrong one until too late. The worst part was that I was trying to save money and the outfit I was trying to make could use those boots >.>

This happened to me once.. with feez. I bought it once and I saw that I didn't get the feez but as far as I remember I did the process correctly so I waited for a while to see if it would 'appear' after a while. It didn't. So I bought it again and voila! I got double the amount and double the money spent.

with feez? oh my! note to self: do NOT attempt to buy feez when my internet is slow. x_X

the 2 times i had oops purchases were either a browser incompatibility or slow internet messing with stuff(but thankfully, i only spend BDs).
the 1st times was in a christmas quest, where i bought the same ugly pair of shoes twice :c and the second, this week, with the egypt quest. at least the gold vases look nice...

Those vases actually look really nice together.

More oops purchases --

I don't have specific examples, but before the reorganization of stores and My Things, I used to buy things I already had without realizing it. I'd be scrolling through My Things later on and discover I had two of the same thing. Must have really liked them.

At least now, I can sort My Things by the store I'm shopping in and even narrow it down to the Category of items I'm buying to know for sure if I already have something or not.

My Oops purchase happened when I was midway through a quest. I got this Confirm? dialog box without $$, and I clicked OK because I was purchasing a lot of items at the time. Suddenly I found I was missing Feez, and nothing new was in my closet. It took me a week to realize that I'd bought music for my loft pleur
