I bought them from the AH and they just delete my bolted vees.
I didn't know there was a problem with one of the flash sales so i just bought them.
Now i got 20 bolted vees which isn't even close to the 125k i wasted.

Can i atleast get my 125k back an the bolted vees deleted from my inventory?

EDIT: i like how everybody gets angry for nothing. I'm just asking a simple question, besides i already made more than i lost :/

To be honest, when the Bolted Vee prices climb again, you'll probably be selling that lot for several hundred thousand crowns's profit.

You guys are literally asking to get your thousands of Prismatic Bolted Vees, which were obtained in a non-legit way & are(or in this case, were) worth large sums of Crowns, so that you can either:

a. Sell them at a later date, most likely to new people who had no idea about the flood for many Crowns

Or

b. Put them on the 1000's of Helmets that you surely must have in your Inventory(very unlikely)

In short, you guys are whining about losing your 100k's of Crowns that you were hoping to easily replace by selling the Bolted Vees. You're trying to take advantage of an unintentional mistake & you should feel bad.

Which you spent on what you knew was a bug, and thus subject to the ToS, which you agreed to on signing up and playing.

@bitsbee we aren't asking for

@bitsbee
we aren't asking for the bolted vees we are asking for the crowns back that we worked hard for.

"we aren't asking for the bolted vees we are asking for the crowns back that we worked hard for."

Pretty sure 20 Vees is worth more than you spent on all that.

Or at least it will be at a later date.

pretty sure the bolted vees

pretty sure the bolted vees will continue to be de-vauled since everyone and their cousin now has 20 vees.

Right...
12k bolted vees didnt raise any suspicions?
I guess Hexzyle got lucky that his 100k bid on 10k vees got canceled and refunded.

Contacting support would be the right way to go, not discussing this on the forums... because I don't think this community can do much for you.

What in the world would you

What in the world would you have done with 12 THOUSAND Bolted Vees anyway? Sell them? There's so many in the market right now that they aren't worth anything. Even if they have been massively reduced. And using them.... ahah.

Firstly the price of Prismatic Bolted Vees are going to take a deadly long amount of deadly long time to increase in value. Everyone and their alt has them. I was in haven the other day and saw proto newbs, running around trying to sell them. You will NOT see a drastic rise to "several hundred thousand" crowns any time soon.

Secondly I'm going to be quite blunt on this. To anyone COMPLAINING that they spent all their 'hard' earned crowns to buy thousands of vees and now are left with either a ban/none/20 vees, tough. Serves you right thinking you could get away with buying so much vees in order to resell and make a decent profit later. In the real world whether you knew you purchased stolen goods or not, they will be confiscated if found on you and you will be arrested under suspicion of possession of stolen goods. You'll have to hope you are proven not guilty.

Don't come out and tell us you didn't know it was a bug. People were running around naked shouting "PRISMATIC VEES ARE FREE!!! PRISMATIC VEES ARE FREE!!! OOO MESSED UP!!! 750 FOR 0CE!!!!" If you didn't know by the first day you sure as hell would have known by the next. Wouldn't your sense have told you to at least ask a friend why vees were so cheap? Most likely they knew and should have told you.

Bottom line you are either completely dumb to not know this was a big mistake by OOO and people selfishly exploited it or you have no friends for you to turn to for help. Either way you lost your crown so suck it up.

Gonna need some moisturizer after that comment.

I did spend ~50k crowns on ~2k PBVs but I'm not complaining, I've made worse market decisions in the past.

I find it amusing that he thought it was a good idea to buy 12000 of an accessory for 125k.

Even item legitimacy aside, that's a little over 1k per bolted vee. Did you think you were gonna profit from that? lol. They were being passed around like dirt, and you basically paid 1k ea. to buy hundreds of thousands of useless dirt, and when the dirt got washed away by the rain, you complain about having wasted money?

Sorry, but you kind of scammed yourself in the first place lol. 12k is more than the number of active steam users in SK per day, so you can probably imagine yourself as having bought excess dirt at a high price.

@Seiran Your comment was

@Seiran
Your comment was pretty funny except for the glaring hole in your math:
125,000 / 12,000 = 10.4
