Now, I could have sworn if I tried to pull too much off a vendor at once, I would getone errormessage or another. A few nights ago however, I pulled off 60 items from a vendor (I was going to be switching to a different one) and got a huge line of "You have retrieved... etc".. and I thought, "Whoa! It all fit?"
So then I went to the new vendor, started piling them in and realized, hmm.. I seem to be missing some. I checked the old stockroom and there was nothing there. I checked my inventory, my pack, the house in hopes that maybe they were somewhere hiding. But they weren't. Out of 60 items, I only managed to retrieve 23. ::big sigh::
My questions is.. is this just a fluke? Or is this a potential bug? Was I dreaming that it used to error when my inventory was too full to pull any more off?

It's a bug, been in the game since they put in the multiple retrieval option. Sadly I think most of us have been a victim of it.

::groan:: Obviously, I don't frequent this bored enough, huh? But at least I know I'm not crazy. Thanks for the quick response. I will definitely be more careful from now on.

Sometimes the bag where I keep all my weapon components seems empty even when I know its not. If I pick it up and drop it to the floor again everything will be fine. However if I am low on inventory space and pick the bag up (bag is at 90%) the game makes more room in my inventory by removing everything starting from the last item in my inventory and it keeps removing them until the bag fits in my inventory. Sometimes I get the stuff back after reboot or long logout but many times I do not.
Same will happen if you have no room in your inventory and you slice a container open. That one I learned the hard way by slicing open 15 containers for a customer. I didnt notice they were disappearing one by one as I kept opening more and more containers. It took few minutes of explaining to get out of that situation
