I was just down in Shard buying keyblanks (yes, I buy them - I'm only in Shard for about 5 minutes at a time). Anyways, ever since that shop first opened almost 10 years ago I have always ordered the same thing, a gittern. No idea why, that's just what I order. And I always offer the same thing, 50000000 (give or take a zero). So, anyone else have something they pathologically fake-purchase?

A pick.
Back when I first started buying them, I was too lazy to go through the catalog and pick something. (Heh, a pun.) A pick was something I had always been positive that they sold.

I'll add also, still to this day I don't know what a gittern is. Maybe I'll go look it up, or maybe I'll just let it remain a mystery.

Same exact item (gittern) for me too. But I just type a 1 and hold the 0 key down for a while. It always default to some crazy looking number thats smaller. And if you ever find out what it is, please share the knowledge!

also, a gittern looks similar to a lute or an arabian Ud - it was one of the predecessors to the guitar, and was played in a similar fashion.

Always order a lyre. I think because it's easy to type. I've never really thought about it before.
And that's some really interesting information about the weird number that comes up. I thought it was maybe something strange that happens converting between bases or something. It's cool to know!

Ouch, that must have been an ego shot right there. I always order pick, and then spam 9s just to be sure that never happens.
