"Duping" platinum / Items

[Portasaurus]

I thought I duped a bunch of sandwiches once during a transfer that went horribly wrong... I remember getting an angry red invalid slot # or item # (or something) message when I received the items, and then the guy's gear actually started turning into other items from my inventory when I traded them back to his alt!

On his screen, it looked like I was just pocketing his gear and giving him sandwiches and steaks and vegetables and stuff in return. Stunned at the accusation, I asked him to trade them back to me, and sure enough, I ended up with duped stacks of sandwiches and steaks!

After much confusion and attempts to recover the lost items, I relogged. Upon my return, all of his gear was back on the cursor slot and I was able to complete the transfer.

In the end, I think it just *appeared* that items were duped, when in fact I think the icon/item number was being displayed incorrectly in the client for some reason, although I actually *was* trading him back his gear.

The next couple times I logged in, I had a few of my own items still missing from the debacle pop up on my cursor.

Makes me wonder what would have happened to his swords and armor if I tried to eat them while they were in sandwich mode!

TLDR: I have absolutely nothing to contribute to this thread, but one time something weird happened to items during a transfer.
