[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6828238, member: 6701872"] And yet, a statement of selling 1 item in that set was made by a player (I sell the armor) and was interpreted as a statement of selling the entire set by the DM (I sell the contents of this bundle), so it is entirely irrelevant who did or didn't know the items were bundled as a set. It then only becomes a question of whether the DM misinterpreted the player accidentally (a mistake), or intentionally (malicious DMing). We see in the case of the OP that he admits intentional misinterpretation, though it was unclear that was the case until the moment that "We didn't mean to sell that" was met with "Well, you did it anyway." instead of "Ok, then you didn't." Unless, of course, you are saying that you expect a player to actually specify all the minor details rather than just the action itself. I.e. "I sell the [item placed in a container with some other number of items]" being insufficient to be resolved differently than "I sell [a container and everything within it]" to such a degree that the player needs to say "I take [item] out of [container], leaving [other items] behind. I then sell [item]." [/QUOTE]
