If the person who bought it happens to see this thread and is kind enough to return the Lupora to you, they're doing it as a favor and are under no obligation to do so.

this situation has actually happened a number of times over the site's months and I never thought explaining this situation as begging or harassment.

In fact most of these that I've seen are pets bought for 1g that were meant for someone else but somehow the ID didn't stick so it was up for public sale for anyone who sees it, or the sale price was meant for breeding

And more often than not I have seen people be extremely kind and understanding about it so they return the pets with no hard feelings (because usually it's a pet that is too good to be true to be sold at a price anyone can take).

Tldr I never saw this as harassment or begging, and more often than not the situations for this kinda give a signal that it was a mistake sometimes

For 99% of users no, it isn't harassment or begging. But there's always that 1% of people for whom it is and that is why it's covered in the ToS. I'm not saying one should never ask in this sort of situation, just to be aware that not everyone will be receptive to such requests. It is a rare occurrence, fortunately, but I have seen it before elsewhere, which is why I'd caution against giving that sort of advice publicly.

I once sold a pet by accident, in a similar manner. I messaged the person and they kindly sold it back to me, saying they didn't really want it, they just couldn't resist buying a themed pet for 10g. They weren't annoyed to all that I'd contacted them, but at the same time I didn't really expect it back. I also once bought a pet at 1g that was meant for someone else. I was more than happy to return the pet to its owner :)

I personally think that as long as the user ask kindly, everything will be fine.

IF, I say IF, someone happened to take it badly and the other person stay nice and calm, nothing "bad" should happen to the user?~ :o
Our Admins are very understanding~ :3
