Freaking Out and Need Answers

seems to me the first response would be to feel really really depressed and guilty and confused and bewildered and feeling like quitting ... ... rather than "all my legit peers are going to disbelieve me and reject what i'm sure of, so i'd better screenshot everything."

we don't have to know all the answers
if it's a hack, it'll happen again

Without proof, it might as well not have happened. The problem is that he posted a thread about it to try to inform us, and to achieve that goal, some of us need evidence to be motivated to take any action about this. Until he can prove that this hack thing happened, and there are much more likely possibilities other than hacking, it really didn't happen. He tried to inform us, and half-assed information isn't going to do any good. If, as you say, "we don't have to know all the answers", why do these threads exist?

Most people would probably have taken screenshot after screenshot, and maybe even a video of moving background people to prove that there were no edits, immediately after I noticed something wrong, instead of closing the store.

who the hell would think "oh boy, ive been scammed/hacked, i must take a screenshot so that the non believers of basil market (read southperry...) will belive that harm has befelled me"

Why are you posting, anyway? Are you actually trying to inform us?

really, if you think i was worried about taking a ss, you shouldnt even post here. i was more worried about stopping the guy before he went and tried selling it in the fm, where i would most likely never get it back.

You're not getting this bow back. Again, why are you posting here?

the store was open, i had 5 people go thru the shop before i went afk, and more than one of them i knew were merchants, if i had set the shop up with the bow for 3 mil they would have easily seen that it was a hot item and would have bought it seconds after i made the shop.

Maybe those "merchants" didn't notice your low price.
