Yesterday, I stuck some xanax in my bazaar to sell, I boarded a flight to SA. They all sold during flight giving me $15,817,500 in sales.
As soon as i land, i put in 19 in the quantity for xanax and hit buy. I wasn't able to capture a screen shot because this next part happened too quickly.

As i hit to confirm to buy 19 xanax for the price of $14,440,627, the 19 changed to a 7, but still said it charged for expected price for 19 Xanax. So at this point, i thought the glitch was i didn't get as many xanax for the correct price.
Annoyed but figuring i could easily come back from this, i grabbed 12 lion plushies and flew back to torn. Didn't think to take a sceenshot because again, i figured it was a small glitch and i wasn't going to make a report about it. I then went to sleep.

Just today, i go to stick those 7 xanax and 12 lion plushies into my bazaar, and the lion plushies are there, but the 7 xanax have turned into 7 combat gloves.
I don't understand why it corrected the 19 i had entered to a 7. Normally it would just say you can't afford it. But it corrected to an amount i could afford. Showed the price and quantity for what i was trying to get. Then told me i bought 7 xanax in the notice.
Had i simply chosen the wrong item, i would of gotten the "can't afford" notice, because i click into the spot after the 1, and type a 9 to get 19. So i would of ended up trying to buy 19 or at least 9 combat gloves, which i couldn't afford. Instead, i ended up with 7.
Even if i had miss clicked and hit a 7. Bigger chance i would of ended up with a 17. Even if i had managed to erase the 1 and hit a 7, what are the chances i just happened to be able to afford 7 combat gloves.

I have money saved, so i will be fine i guess. I just thought i would report it anyway. Maybe even just to find out what even happened.
I'll try and catch it if it happens to me again. But i kinda imagine it was just a random fluke.

Most likely explanation is that you attempted to buy Combat Gloves in SA, tried entering 19, but since you only had enough money to buy 7 of those, it auto changed it to 7 (they cost 2.1m each in SA as against 750k each for xanax). (Edit: Travel page doesn't auto-change number of items you are attempting to buy based on your money) This also explains why you have 7 Gloves in your inventory instead of xanax.

I do not remember if the abroad items auto-corrects depending on the money you have on hand or just give you an error saying you can't afford it (I can check in 20 mins after I land in Japan).

I will pass this up to Stewie for checking the logs. Thanks!

Yeah, I realise that. But that's not what I clicked on and it's not what it showed in the confirmation before I hit buy. It hasn't happen again so far so I could catch a screenshot.
Even if I had somehow put the number into the wrong slot. It still corrected to a number of items I could afford.
When you click the quantity box it already has a 1 in it. I just stick a 9 after that 1, making it 19. Or else I type in 19. I saw it say: x19 xanax for price. In the confrontation, then when I hit yes, it corrected the amount to 7 items of which still said xanax. I originally thought the glitch was it changed from 19 to 7 for the price of 19. Because the money was gone but I was lacking items. Instead it corrected to a number I could afford rather then telling me I couldn't afford it, and gave me combat gloves instead.

It would be way too coincidental for me to not only choose the wrong box to place the number. But for me to also click in a way that I erased the 1, then type the wrong number to get 7 instead of 9, and 7 to just happen to be the exact number of gloves I could even afford. I had just enough money for the 7 gloves. Even a single number more and I wouldn't have been able to afford them.

I haven't been able to recreate it so far. But I keep trying different things. One of the possibilities I have is the page/game didnt load correctly when I bought the items. Torn was acting slow and weird that day. And that maybe I could recreate that if I didconnect the internet or switch internet connections while/after it finishes loading.

Unfortunately, the logs show you as purchasing 7 Combat Gloves, and that is also what you received.

You did not purchase Xanax, likely you made a mistake or something, but I can assure you there is no issue here.
