All I have to say is lol. That is sneaky.

I have found a few max damage bows that looked too good to be true, and noticed the 14-28 on them. 
I check the damage now whenever I buy weapons.

Not a scam, just an omission of detail.

Ye, quite sneaky tactic.....
I bought a req8 +15% (ench) Hammer on this Forum once and realized later that it was 18-35. But well....it was only 2k, I think.

it still can achieve max damage. just on occasion it can go 1 point less damage than a max weapon. honestly, when was the last time your enemy was at 1 hp? would that frustrate you, or make you laugh? a 14-28 isn't bad by any means.

You goofed. Let's move on please.

You agreed to pay the price and saw the item with your own eyes.

So what? Are you going to use it or brag about it? How much different is 14 than 15... pffffffft... and how often is it going to go down to 14?

And this boys and girls is why you want to stay in school. Learning to read is helpful.
I agree with lakatz, the fact that it is 14-28 doesn't make much of a difference imo. You should have plenty in marks so it shouldn't matter.

Not a scam and not really that sneaky either.
Trade window tells you exactly what you're getting and he never said it was max (when I see people advertising they say so). And really it's only one point. If you're overlooking it then I doubt you really care that much.

Still people will pay way more for perfect stuff haha.
But yeah I do agree that 1 dmg is no biggie.
Not a scam... just look at it next time!

Hmmm. Even if he said 'max', would that be grounds to report him?
Because technically that bow can do max damage; only it doesn't have the max mean damage.

I really don't know why people are saying it's not a scam. The OP said himself, in the title, that it wasn't a scam...
Anywho, sucks to hear, man. I'll be sure to look out for that!

I'm going to remember that next time I sell weapons.
As for buying weapons, I don't. I use BMP weapons, which have better skins than weapons in the rest of the game. Particularly Tengu weapons.

Min damage is important. Remember Diablo 2 and how much better weapons were with min damage rings than max damage? The minimum damage made heaps more difference. SO yes, a 15-28 is better than a 14-28 and it does make a difference.

The seller could say it cures cancer, but as a buyer I would still check everything on it before completing the trade. Even if he had said it is max, it is still the buyer's responsibility. There are plenty other actions that warrant banning aside from ones like this that are easily avoidable.

Sorry you fell for that one. I haven't bought any bows or weapons from anyone in a long time. But when I did, I always had a checkpoint system of checking every single stat on the weapon. And I'll repeat to double check to make sure, even if I know for sure I read it all correctly. It's not so much an OCD thing. More like a matter of procedure I do for myself. It makes the trades I did take an extra 8 seconds or so to complete but that was always totally okay.

Normally I'm a careful reader on my trades, especially if I'm paying more than....1k.
But I'd been wanting an eternal bow recently, and in Kamadan, someone spammed "Selling Perfect R.9 Eternal Bow 30k." I'd lost track of Eternal prices, thought, "hmmm, maybe they HAVE dropped that low!"
Read the bow, made the trade, then looked at the bow again:
Req 9 Marksmanship
Damage 20% (health below 50%)
Armor Penetration 20% (20% Chance)
Health +30
I was so annoyed. He distinctly said "Perfect," and I allowed myself to see what I wanted to see. Grrr.
Well, Pyre's got a sweet Eternal.
I eventually found the Eternal Bow I wanted, for far more than 30k.

In response to the OP: I have never actually fallen for something like this before, but still, pretty good deal imo.

Well, to be honest ... that happened to me too and still can, after a long day online that is. But not buying but selling too.
At a certain point you get so used to everything being maxed especially on Gold items that I tend to forget to check the damage range.
Get a nice req 9 gold drop ... id it ... Weehhheee ... 15^50 ... of to kamadan we go ... WTS ... seeing later it's not maxed.
Can happen if you are unaware.
