🦧Someone got lucky with Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT that Accidentally Sold for $3,000 Instead of $300,000
🦍Because of a user mistake, a Bored Apes Yacht Club NFT accidentally sold Bored Ape #3547 for 0.75 Ethereum, instead of 75.
Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs are some of the most expensive and well-known NFTs around. Now, one of them has been accidentally sold for $3,015, despite being valued at over $300,000.
A review of OpenSea confirms the transaction, which was made on Saturday. The owner previously bought the NFT for 1 ETH on May 30. At that time, Ethereum was trading at roughly $2,290.
The NFT was meant to be listed at a price of 75 ETH—which by today’s prices is approximately $300,000—but the NFT holder accidentally listed the NFT at a price of 0.75 ETH.
“I list a lot of items every day and just wasn’t paying attention properly. I instantly saw the error as my finger clicked the mouse but a bot sent a transaction with over 8 ETH of gas fees so it instantly sniped before I could click cancel, and just like that, $250,000 was gone,” according to the Max the owner.
This means the buyer spent 8.75 Ethereum, or just under $35,000, in total to scoop up Max's big mistake.
The mistake is especially painful when one considers just how valuable Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs have become and with all the celebrities and influencers are rushing to get one.
Last month, NFT marketplace OpenSea saw trading volume double after BAYC sales spiked by as much as 900%.
This has been driven by a wave of celebrities and influencers jumping on the Bored Ape - Shaq, Jimmy Fallon, Post Malone, Steph Curry, and Mark Cuban are just a few that are now part of the BAYC crew.
NFT’s are so new mistakes and hacks are common, and it’s important to pay attention to details or pay the consequences! With that said there is no better place than NFTs or BAYC in this space!
