Yesterday I bought +2 hourglass gauntlets for 460k which I thought was a good deal. As I was looking for some gloves just like these I bought a LP and loomed them to Lordly. All my items are on the market forsale and most you will find are over priced as im not really interested in selling them. Unfortunately I was in a hurry to take my kids out and listed them on the market for 2lp and 305g instead of 305000.
dbrookz kindly pointed out my mistake quiet quickly: (note the time which was minutes after the offer being made.)dbrookz

I accepted your trade. You received 305 gold and 2 heirloom points in exchange for your Lordly Hourglass Gauntlets (rank 3, 8206381). The 5% fee of 16 gold was paid by you.
When I returned home and discovered my mistake I messaged Atlas:Dutchy

"Not really sure how the so called new Owners will agree but ill give it a shot, no guarantee they will return so dont be all: ill go to admin when i dont even have your items anymore"
"Well ive spoken to Harald and your deal wasnt unfair in his opinion and he said nothing was need to be done with it so, ive got noting more to say"http://forum.melee.org/announcements/new-market-rule/In these rules it says quiet clearly:
"From now on, exploiting other players' mistakes on the market will be against the rules.
This means that if you find offers that are obvious mistakes you must return those item/gold to the original owner without any personal gain.
You can buy the item and instantly contact the owner so no one else can grab it or you just PM him and make him aware of his mistake.
If you instead decide to keep the stuff or try to get some extra money out of it, we will forcefully return those items/gold and make sure there is a proper punishment.
We had to put this rule in place since lately some players decided that their own gain is more important than the community and we will make sure they change their mind about that.
Players quit over such mistakes and this will not happen anymore."Considering since the last patch the cheapest item on the market is 2lp and 100k ish and gloves are always worth min of 2lp and 200k it is fair to say that my offer of the gauntlets for 2lp and 305g was a clear mistake. By the rules Atlas could of taken the offer but contacted me to make me aware of the mistake and return the item if I confirmed it to be a mistake.
Atlas never contacted me and promptly sold the gauntlets at a tidy profit I imagine, hence the reason for this bann thread.
"If you instead decide to keep the stuff or try to get some extra money out of it, we will forcefully return those items/gold and make sure there is a proper punishment."
Thanks for your time

P.S: Also by admission in the posts below and what Atlas told Harald, he has sold my gauntlets 7 hours after I sent a pm explaining my mistake.
