I hadn't logged in for probably over a year, possibly two. I was talking to some friends about OSRS and figured I'd log in to check on my bank value as well as a few things I left in the GE back when I quit.
To my surprise, the second I enter the game I see that 2/3000 of "Members object" had been sold.
I begin entering my bank PIN to access the GE to see what's being sold, only to find out that the second I get in, the sell order I put in before I quit has been sold off completely.
Considering the quickness at which this usually low volume item got dispersed of I knew something must have gone wrong here. So I go to look up the current price of these blood essences. The normal buy price at the time of this sell off was at 258k. Or close to 180k more per piece than what my hoard just got sold for. I just lost out on 500m. And presumably made some flippers very happy.
My mistake lead to this funny graph. The only solace I have is that despite losing out on half a billion gp just by logging into the game, I still made a profit.
So let this be a warning to everyone else. GE offers go inactive after a few days, and will sell / buy for whatever price you put the offer in for at the time.
