TheQuickFox.3826 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 When you like to list/sell an item on the trading post in a hurry, and list an item before the TP has the time to load the current buy/sell orders for that item, you sell your item for the minimum price of a few copper. I'm not sure what happens to the item but it gets sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution is the same as it is for all race conditions: wait for the "race over" event (the UI changes by showing the list, for the case given) before doing your side of it.All race conditions can be avoided / solved by proper control over something, and anyone who tries to say otherwise is wrong.
