I'll for-go explaining the 'why' as to why I attempted to purchase it. But I was at Kade's Kounter and attempted to buy the Ruined Item there. It took the the plat from me (tried purchasing it three times) but did not give me the item. It was only 6p, I'm not worried about it but I figured I'd offer this little bug in case Coder might want to poke this little oddity with his stick and fascinate himself for a bit.
I've also plans to talk with Kade's 'customer service' rep as soon as I can figure out where they're hiding him.
