A man wanted to sell an NFT for 75 ether, but he sold it for 0.75 Ether due to a typo. The NFT in question was a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT, one of the best known and most expensive collections on the market.
A guy went through a lucky day this week when he acquired an NFT of the iconic Bored Ape Yacht Club bored monkeys at $ 2,800 when its current price worths $ 280,000.
The situation took effect due to a mistake in setting the price of ether (ETH) on OpenSea, a platform to market tokenized art. Max, a user, offered the NFT for sale for 75 ETH, but he typed 0.75 ETH by accident, a figure that represents only 1% of the total value.
After launching the post of the work Bored Ape 3,547, Max realized the mistake and desired to cancel the transaction. However, it was too late. The investor told CNET the NFT got sold almost instantly after it appeared on the platform.
The user that acquired the NFT put the Yacht Club NFT up for Sale after Buying it Almost for Free
It remains unclear if the buyer was an interested party who was only looking at the articles on the platform and did not hesitate to acquire Max’s NFT when he saw its almost free price or if it was a bot the one that made the transaction. This last option is a tool that some buyers activate to purchase assets that appear with prices below the standards and with non-reversible transactions.
The platform reflected that the buyer purchased the NFT for a final price of 8 ETH, including commissions to expedite the transaction. After getting it, he put it up for sale at 85 ETH, which runs in parallel with almost $ 320,000. The buyer still has it for sale, but he would be doing a great deal soon.
Bored Ape Yacht Club gathers around million dollars invested in its tokens, thus being the sixth collection that manages the most volume of money in the NFT market, according to data from Dappradar.
Many companies are interested, such as Adidas and Rolling Stone magazine, which have created products with the image of their iconic monkeys.
This situation took effect because of a lack of concentration, the affected user guessed. He listed various articles daily, and he was not paying proper attention.
The affected user instantly saw the error when my finger clicked on the mouse, but a bot sent a transaction, so it disappeared instants before the user could click cancel, and lost his $ 280,000.00.
