Started off with 6 copper in my inventory and ended with the same amount. I suspect it may have to do with the low value of the object.

There is a problem in calculating change involving copper coins. Thanks for the report!

Entered as Bugzilla bug #961

All right, I didn't really notice this till just now but i made a new character today and when i went to have the belt in the starter area repaired they PAId ME instead of me paying them, then the same thing happened AGAIN when I was playing Duraiz and was having my haversack repaired. This may just be a fluke but its worth checking out. Barre was with me but AFK at the time.. heres what happened.....

Sorry to bring up another bug!

A new twist on not being charged. Any corroborating reports of this problem?

Moved into previous report - looks like the same problem.

Put in sensitive bugs because someone could (albeit painfully slowly) make coin this way.

well not sure if it's a bug or not... it's not a big deal anyway, but you can sell coins to wandering merchants :

You sell 16 silver coins for 2 gold, 4 copper.

This is a bug, and a problem, in that 16 silver coins have a value of 1 gold, 4 silver (or 160 copper). The merchant is paying 204 copper, a 27.5% premium. Perhaps that's due to charisma, but still, it's a huge potential liability as a way to fabricate cash.

Problem is, I'm not sure what can be done to plug the hole short of fixing the underlying bug (which is in the queue). Can items be set as not sell-able, somehow?

Addition to this bug:

Repairs and pays out the required coins.

The Waterdeep tailor wasn't paying me, but he didn't take any coin when he repaired some of my clothes. (Belt/boots/under tunic/etc) Sorry I don't have a log handy.

Moving to join existing bug report log, Bug 961. Thanks for the additional reports, but this one is in the queue!

This should now be fixed! Sorry it was invisible while we worked on it, bugs like this that offer a potential temptation to abuse are kept invisible until fixed. Thanks to everyone who filed a report that helped us fix this!
