Do you need to trade something for more than 100k? Look here!
MCS
General information & Trusting me:
I've been seeing an increase in items selling for over 100k, some people have been using 100k+ items, if that's how you want to it, go for it. Some people however, don't have the items and don't want to buy them just to trade. Some people don't want to sell them after receiving them, they just want raw gold.
So here it is, I'll be helping people out with these kinds of trades by holding money for them.
This is by far my favorite forum and have no intention of getting banned from it. If you don't trust me then you don't trust me, there is nothing I can do about it.
Now that this thread as a multitude of completed trades that only represent a fraction of the people I've helped trusting me shouldn't be much of a problem anymore.
No one I've helped with one of these trades has ever been scammed in any way shape or form.
How it works:
Lets say trader S has an item and trader B is buying with gold.
Trader S (Seller) is selling a bow for 200k to trader B (Buyer). Trader B will give me 100k and AFTER that I will tell trader S that I have received the money. Trader S will then trade the bow for 100k to trader B. After that is complete and both trader S and trader B tell me I will give the 100k to trader S.
So basically they trade the item for 100k after I receive the difference then I give the difference to the seller.
The seller will only trade the item for the 100k after I tell him that I have received the other money so that the buyer won't lie and tell him that he has already given me the money.
Since I now have 2 accounts I can actually hold up to about 2 mill.
Setting up this type of trade:
When someone wants to perform this type of trade can you both post here with the item and the amount being traded for it as well as a link to the thread where this deal was made and the IGN of both. Another helpful bit of information is a time when you can both be on. If the deal was made on a different site or in game and you just wish to use this service that is fine.
EDIT: It would be preferred if you post in here instead of simply whispering me in game.
Finishing the trade:
When the trade is 100% I'll come back and say so then you can come and leave any kind of feedback you want.
EDIT: You can also go use the trader rating thing and link to this thread for me.
Charging for this service:
None but most people have been tipping 1-2% of the traded ammount.
Contact:
If you've got any questions feel free to PM, IM, or whisper me. My AIM name is Lance4205, my IGN is Master MCS, and well PM is to the left.
EDIT: An additional note, I suggest that when the buyer gives me the money he takes a screen shot, I will be taking screenshots of me giving the money to the seller.
Keep these screenys until after the trade is 100% complete then you can delete them.
Wouldn't want some vengeful member mad that I closed his thread claiming I stole his money.

I just want to say that MCS is definitely trustworthy, I once bought a few items from him which meant using two different trade windows..and he completed it even though he already had the money.
I would be very surprised if he scammed you..so I myself, would not worry about him taking the money.
This is a really good idea, and I may use this service in the future.

Sorry to break up the lovefest fellas, but please keep this thread on topic. I'll ask the admins to unlock the level above if you want to strike up a "MCS Is My Love" thread. :P
MCS
If people really start using this more I'll be deleting most of the off topic posts.
Until then however let them love me!

No one is forcing you to use anything.

I think thats a great idea. If i ever pick up something worth over 100k, you will be the first one to know when i want to trade...

Okay Garric, you attempted to make people not trust me. It didn't work.
Any more posts on the matter I will have to consider trolling. Here is a link to the thread for anyone who cares to read about how untrustworthy I am. Thread: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=16032 All other posts about this are being deleted. wgregory87

I don't know if anyone else saw this loop hole.
Lets take your example MCS Trader B gives you 100K gold, and then trader S trades him the item for 100K, then you ask Trader S if he recieved his money, and he says yes, BUT Trader B says "Nooo, he didn't give me anything, give me back my 100K" Well... What to do? Now you have no idea who to believe. Of course it will be rare, but it's possible, and now that I said it, it will be more possible. I wanted to bring this to light, because you can prevent this from happening. Change your policy to be that all items and money must be given to you, then ONLY after receiving everything you will turn all the items and money over to their new owners. This also takes away the need for asking if the trade happened etc. MCS
Screenys are good.
If this happened I'd have the Seller go scroll up to where it says they traded and take a screeny then send it to me. Then that nasty buyer would be banned from the site for trying to scam people. I've advised people to take screenys of everything. I take screenys of both people agreeing, me giving the gold to the seller, etc.... Ketch
Very true, but someone who tries to hard could easily fake a screeny.
I just wanted to point that out. But being able to fake a convincing screeny limits who can do it.. they'd need very specific skills and tools. MCS
Uh?
What is the buyer going to fake a screeny of, them not trading? The buyer is the scammer here saying they didn't trade when they did then trying to get me to give him the money back. The seller would be taking the screeny. If people feel more safe giving it all to me then I'll do that but I really see no danger in my way. What you're describing won't happen. You might as well list someone hacking into my account right after the person gave me the gold which booted me off, he then gives all my gold and items go a guild mate and gets off. I get back on and they start calling me a scammer! The chance of them making an unnoticable fake is about as good. Lust Faeriefire
I'm slightly confused. What's the difference when the trade occurs just between two players, ie: player 1 gives 300k gold + items and player 2 gives uber item.
x-todd
i guess you can only carry 100k at a time.
i wouldnt know though, as i have never had more than 20k at any given time. MCS
Anything requiring over 100k gold or over 7 items would have to involve trust because it's the max you can carry for gold and the max you can fit on the trade screen for items.

Yo, MCS, I need help with a 250k trade, my IGN is Patriarch Kain, and the IGN of the other trader is Notorious B I G

I clicked on the link and started reading, could not stop. It was so entertaining. I read the WHOLE thing. It was hillarious. Edited that last bit out, it's true, but hes banned now because he likes flaming people-MCS Kabale
Yeah, it sucked me in too ^^

Thanks for the trade holmes
Ketch
Sorry MCS, I wasn't meaning to be hostile.
I love what you're doing, in fact, I will be using your services when I have the need. I just know, since I do graphics as a hobby, I could easily fake a screeny, and no one would be able to tell the difference. Not even myself if I somehow forgot which was real and which one wasn't. Anyway, I am glad you're doing this, and I've told some guildies that could have benifited from your services. Dualinity
I was thinking, what if they just do the deal online in GW world??? that should be no problem???
Ketch
Thats what they are doing....

Why not just give 100k and give the rest of the money value trade in sigils.
Last night I saw sigils at the sigil trader at tombs were going for 60 plat. So 200k trade means two sigils and 80k. Thus no multiple trades. Person recieveing sigils can hold them, or sell them back to trader to recieve his cash. I suppose this could even be done with runes. Example I want Sup Vigor and Sup Absorp. So 200k becomes 100k and sup vigor and sup absorp. Thus no multiple trades and no chance at scamming. I would think if they buyer doesnt agree to this he would be a bit loopy or is trying to scam somehow. If seller doesnt agree same thing. Stabwound
The problem is that some people hate to sell items. I know that I definately wouldn't want to trade for sigils, because I can't stand spamming for half an hour to sell them. Time is money, too. The only way this would work is if you based it on the price that the TRADER buys them for.

Right that is what I was suggesting, to just use the sigil trader (since at tombs storage and sigil trader are right next to each other) as a spot rate. Buy two are three or whatever is needed to buy the item use that price as the included price then have the seller sell them back. Price fluctuation if all done timely would be negligible. No time value of money lost.

Utilizing MCS is easier, but if he wasn't around, that would be an alternate plan.
