I went into the Somerset market today and discovered two v8 engines on sale for $0. I was concerned to see that I was the vendor so I immediately bought them back.

I did not place any engines on the market so I am wondering how that came about.

Can someone check to make sure this wasn't an intentional mechanism to correct a system error or do I need to worry that my account has been compromised?

This seems to happen when someone puts up more of something for sale than what they own. the person who buys it ends up selling the difference.

Had you bought engines from someone recently? perhaps for $0 with a password?

I did buy some engines but I paid 100's of thousands for them and it was an open purchase.

My history of transaction shows that I bought them, but there is nothing in there explaining any corrective action.

RANXEROX is correct and the $0 error is weird at times, you sell an engine and game will pull another from your spare gives to that person, or his example. Tis why I sell everything at $1.

ON if you think your accout may be hacked, see if *Sam* or *Xman* has a log of when you were on the game? Old forum threads like this server we used to have things like this back on Battletech.com or Sarna.net
