The Buy Back Shop is returning certain Promotional Items that were never purchased. I believe this is a result of a SINGLE Promotional Item purchase date qualifying for MULTIPLE Promotional Items that were available during that time frame. This is a bit complicated to explain, but I’ll try to do my best. Starting with the Bionic Battlegear Promotion (3/10/12), new Promotional Packages were released without old ones being removed immediately. In other words, multiple Promotional Packages were overlapping in the time frame that they were available. For example, from 7/6/12-8/24/12, the following Promotional Packages were SIMULTANEOUSLY available for purchase: Bionic Battlegear, Delta Knight, and Infernal Interdictors. Now, this is where the Buy Back Shop gets bugged. If a player, for example, purchased ONLY the Bionic Battlegear Promotion between 7/6/12-8/24/12, then both Delta Knight and Infernal Interdictors would also appear in the buy back shop despite never having purchased these items, because the date that the Bionic Battlegear was purchased QUALIFIED FOR ALL THREE promotional packages. This is just one example, but the same principle applies to other similar combinations of overlapping promotions, such as Delta Knight, Dragon Buster II + Dragon Slayer, and Platinum's Pride, all available between 9/27/12-2/5/13. A player that purchased just Platinum's Pride during this time frame, for example, would also receive the other two packages (Delta Knight, Dragon Buster II + Dragon Slayer) in their back buy shop, and vice versa. I cannot confirm 100% if this is the correct explanation for the problem, but it appears to be the case. One thing is for sure, many players, including myself, have received Promotional Items in the Buy Back Shop that were never purchased on that character.
