I'm sorry to say, but, scammers are intelligent and know wat theyre doing (dont get me wrong i dnt scam, i never actually bother selling with my stall coz i got no patience...). now here is y they are smart, they know that a person normally looks through a stall and eagerly say: "OMG is so need that....." and they take advantage of this because they put it at a normal rated or a cheaper price, and the buyer, without paying attention to wat the window of the item says, just buys it... soon after he will notice how screwed over he was, spending about 200k on a bucket and an arrow! and u know wat, i think it is the persons fault and not the scammer, the buyer should READ PROPERLY........
learn this..... the eye only sees what it wants to, and reality is just a mere illusion of wat the person desires.........

it's not scamming if you're selling thief suit for 20k, is it

10k for suit already.

and i think it's an additional 10k to transport to the bandit den for the very first time.


If you look at the picture, the guy is falsely advertising it as a SOS suit with all kinds of special stuff. He is also selling it for 500k, no 20k.

In every game with a trading economy, you can expect to get some people who will try to scam others out of their money. Its not like SRO is immune to it...

I'm adding this in here even though it isn't the pot stacks, but a scammer regardless.

It was a couple hours ago, but I'm pretty sure this was a main character. I know it's hard to read, so his name is Mychisus.




2nd pic, hes sellinfg ID cards 35k, others sell them for like 500k

Watch out when ya want to sell expensive items on market cheap

happened to me several times i asked 500k for something.. ppl put 500k in the exchange box.. you press confirm.. they press confirm...
and bang right when you want to hit approve the money in their exchangebox is changed to 50k or even 1 gold.

Luckily i know this type of scammer cause ive been playing just about all free mmorpg there is and there is always those people on the servers.

read carefully and best if they want your item tell em to buy it from your shop. that way they cant money scam you.

I also remember something like buying from an NPC that is you click shift something you get the max bundle (like with arrows...you have to typ 250 each time)...I cant find it anymore,so who knows about this?
[/offtopic]


*Offtopic sorry*
If I wanted to buy item-mall items and sell them for a fair price in stall, for instance the 10k of arrows, what would be a reasonable sum of gold to ask for it?
