Well, something exactly like that scenario happened to a gamer in China and it led to a lawsuit but was later settled.

According to the story posted in Screen Rant, "A man who spent $1.4 million US Dollars on their character is suing their friend who sold the avatar for a paltry $552 US Dollars using the in-game marketplace, a sale that happened quickly thanks to the character's real worth."

The character or account was for the game Justice Online which is a Martial Arts MMO based on the novel "The Four Great Constables". The MMO features six classes centered around realistic combat in a PvP world.

The friend who stole the account tried to sell it back for $55,138 US dollars but the original owner refused and so, the friend sold it in the in-game marketplace but, because of a typo, the price was set to only $552 US Dollars.

The case was later settled and the original owner got his $1.4 Million US Dollar character or account back but it cost him $12,000 US Dollars.

So, the moral of this story is, be very careful when entering numbers specially when you are selling a high valued item in any in-game marketplace. One wrong placement of the comma or a missing zero can cost you a lot of money.

Also, don't share your accounts with your friends, lovers or even family members because you can never know what they'll do with it.
