That's 100 ec in the crapper.

[Buster's Uncle]

?  You don't seem to have any beer in your inventory.  What am I missing?

[Geo]

That's the thing. Somehow, it doesn't make its way into my inventory.

[Buster's Uncle]

  That's some BULLcrap right there.  I'll edit you back another 50ec - and look at getting a tech guy on the job after I verify that I can still buy and gift beer.

It won't be the first time - she had the nerve to demand a refund.

[Buster's Uncle]

Verified and edited.  I had to do maths in my head.

[Geo]

'kay. So you can't gift something from your own inventory to someone else? Is that it? There's only this "test" text appearing?
If so, the shop's text should reflect that. Sounds like a scam to me otherwise, offering people an opportunity and not delivering on it.

[Buster's Uncle]

Hmm.  I see you don't have the beer.  I don't either, and I certainly sent it.

[Buster's Uncle]

Geo, can you confirm if you got the Beer I sent yesterday?

Okay - the top five richest people all started in the Bank when we had the interest set crazy high, .1 compounded daily, which was just enough for the minimum deposit to draw interest; ariete's fortune, as far as I know, is entirely from depositing 50ec and waiting a few months before any withdrawals (he's bought several Sticky a Threads - and used all but one).  sisko later reduced interest to .0811 because me and I have no Name were threatening to break the innerwebs with our mad richness.  -So it's fair -because Rymdolov, # six, didn't start under the old interest rate- that I've reduced the fortunes of the top five by an order of magnitude three times.  I just did the third.  Here's today's Bank top ten standings and fortunes:

BUncle                310501702 EC
I Have No Name  308973244 EC
sisko                    68299797 EC
Kilkakon               45956595 EC
ariete                     1488501 EC
Rymdolov                    8114 EC
NewAgeOfPower           6680 EC
Geo                             6014 EC
Unorthodox                  4368 EC
Yitzi                             4009 EC

(I left tha' toitle 1,000 in the Bank when I kicked him off the top ten.  He's earned it for meritorious service.)

I got the beer indeed. Then I tried to gift it, and then this whachallillcallit test text came up.

[Buster's Uncle]

I'll send you another; we need to test again so you can report details like the test text so I can try to get our tech support on the job.

[Geo]

Nothing in my inventory, so I can't test the 'test' text unless I buy one myself.

[Buster's Uncle]

Busy morning.  I'll post when I've done it.

[Buster's Uncle]

Bought and gifted.  Let me know...

[Unorthodox]

Done as you commanded...

[Buster's Uncle]

Thanks.  I see it in his inventory, so it's not a re-gifting glitch.
