A man in China took his friend to court after the friend accidentally sold a gaming character the man had spent more than £1m developing - for £400.
The man, Lu Mou, spent £1.1m developing his character in Justice Online, a massive multiplayer online role playing game in China.When Mr Li attempted to sell the character back to Mr Lu using Justice Online's internal marketplace, instead of simply giving it back, the original owner refused to pay up.
The character was then sold to a third person over the marketplace for £400, an accidentally low price according to the friend, who said he was exhausted after a marathon session of gaming.The case was ultimately settled by a judge who demanded the company behind Justice Online revoke the transaction.
Mr Lu received his character back and the friend, Mr Li, was forced to pay damages to the buyer who had simply jumped on what they perceived to be a great deal.

Not a friend then. Clearly.
Oh too bad
