Recently, a hilarious incident about a CS trading deal went viral on social media, inviting a lot of attention from the FPS community. A player sold the AK-47 Asiimov skin for just $4,000. But why? Because they missed out on adding another 0 to the offer. Whoever said zero has no value needs to think again.

An insider took to the internet and revealed the incident. As per the claim, his friend had borrowed the skin and was told to sell it, then forgot to add the extra zero. The seller accepted the offer while driving, so he didn’t double-check the amount. Upon realizing the blunder, the trader requested the buyer to reconsider the deal. I know I made a mistake, but I hope I can communicate with the new buyer and give me a chance, okay?I know this is a fortune for you, but it will ruin my life,” the player tweeted.

However, the buyer seemed to be in no mood for reconsideration. After the bummer incident, the buyer posted a meme referencing the fortunate ‘deal of a lifetime’. 

 

For reference, Asiimov isn’t just any other one of 255 Rifle skins. The rarity of the skin is Covert, which makes the Asiimov a super rare drop with an estimated drop chance of only 0.64%.

Fans are jealous of the buyer 

While the discussions about the incident began, some funny reactions poured in. The players came together to take a jibe at the unlucky incident. Let’s have a look at some interesting reactions. 

It’s not everyday that a player saves $360,000 because of a blunder such as missing a 0. So one user called this trade the buyer’s “deal of a lifetime.”

A player took a hilarious dig at the miscommunication and wants a similar deal to land in their favor. 

Rooting for the seller? A user has a perfect expression to express what they might be going through. The user described the deal as the “worst nightmare.”

Is this how villains are born? A netizen has shared an image of Joker from The Dark Knight.
