The Adventure of Mispricing on a Secondhand App

Summary

I was selling old books on an app, but I messed up the price and accidentally added a few extra zeros.

A second later, a notification popped up.

“Your item has been sold for $1.8 million.”

Stunned, I contacted the buyer to ask him to request a refund.

Then I realized who he was: Julian Thorne, the heir to a Manhattan empire.

His message back was filled with grief.

“Do you have anything else of hers? Of Zoe’s? I’ll pay any price.”

“She was my late wife.”
