LIVE! From Illuminati

I think we broke Illuminati's Riot Vend (SLurl). Despite a big crowd, most of them humping, the vendy stuck at L$78 for a very, very long time, never announcing "lowest price."

Bad Riot Vend

The IM dinger went off when I logged in this morning and I found this comment from a not so Lucky Kitty, Usra Ostrich:

Can you blog about this? It's a crime! I went to Rare Breed to help with a Riot Vend and the bloody thing was a rip off! One minute we all heard [2008/07/24 23:10] [HeZ] RiotVend Vendor 1.0 whispers: Bring more people to make the price go down! Then *blam* the price went up! It never announced "Lowest price reached" nor did it warn us before rocketing the price from L$100 to L$500!!

Along with this pic (click for larger image) from just after the price increase, Usra gave me the SLurl for the shop, but I won't dignify them with the potential traffic it can generate.

My experience is primarily with Mob Vendors from Shep Korvin (store SLurl), but I imagine the other branded unit works the same ... some warning is given, usually a small price increase. If this is as borked out as it seems to be, then this is unconscionable.
