Arrrggg... Auction Glitch!!!

[poohroony]

I put my lesser healing scroll up for auction and after the time expired TNT neomailed me, after reading that no one bid on it I deleted the neomail and I checked my items and *todo* the scroll wasn't there

I used the bug reports but I don't think thats going to do much, what else should I do and what are the chances I will get my scroll back? It might not mean so much to most of you but I'm poor and I won that from the wheel so it means so much that I get it back

Try waiting for it, maybe it takes some time for it to appear in your inventory.

[poohroony]

That happened two days ago and I just thought of posting it here today

[autechre]

try collecting some proof that you had it as well, like a screenshot or something if you still can, if not, i don't really think there is much you can do, except wait, maybe its still stuck in the data base with some of the shops that have still not appeared?

[poohroony]

Well the only real evidence I had was the neomail they sent me about the unsuccessful auction but as I said I deleted it before I found out the scroll wasn't there (why did I ever trust TNTs words)

[Tyd]

Damn, that sucks

I guess i must be lucky considering i just got a plushie paint brush out of auction

Nothing new there. I could rant that they need more support, but I've run myself hoarse on it.. so, I'll just say it like this, At least you did get a personal response. Many of us don't.
I'm sorry that you didn't get the item back though! And no, I don't think any one gets their item back unless they are "famous" neopians or staff.

Are you sure thats a personal response, looks like an auto to me

[adamgnome7]

Thank GOD someone was crazy enough to bid on my item....

Of course...getting my Neopoints may be a different thing. Time to take a picture for proof. >_<

Actually, to get any sort of response is a miracle But, yes, that looks like a bit of a personal response, as I've had one from him too. But I found out that for my first account, it was too late.
And ummm.. I know it looks formal.. like a robot response, but think of how many he's been writing. I know when I've been responding to too many emails, I wind up sounding rather flat.

[poohroony]

Well thanks for all your help. I really should train myself to not get my hopes up with Neopets because I'll just end up falling harder on the ground... face first!

[everconfused]

aww, I'm sorry that happened Glitch, glitch and more glitch...

That reply is an autoreply, I've seen that one alot of times, just different names. But at least you did get a reply, and actually pretty quickly.

That sucks... I just hope that doesnt happen to me... I just bid 2.85 Million NP on a H4K .

[poohroony]

Lots of other people have lost their items and np from the auctions so its not safe to go there
