Do you guys ever come across complete jack a*ses in trading who intend to scam you from the start cause you are a little fragile lvl 5 female necro?
Today, I did.
Well, I was advertising a couple of swords with good fortitude pommels.
+25, +26, and +28.
And this lvl 20 "Mr. Macho" warrior with pimpin cape comes up to me and says "400 gold for your sword with +28. Take it or leave it."
So I tried to talk some sense to him saying nicely that +28 pommels are "just" a little more than 400g.
And guess what, he calls me a "noob [email protected], max is 40 for swords. go read the manual" and insists "400g, take it or leave it."
So to take care of his major jack a$$ness, I offered him a "better deal". I showed him a long sword of fortitude (+28 hp) that I got as a reward for a quest (these items cannot be salvaged btw.) and said, "ok, 400g"
He of course took it without a word and msged me, "noob, you have been ripped".
and a minute later.... "wait, I will sell this sword back for 200g, you make 200 profit" <--- LOL.
So much for his proness.

The sheer brilliance of that is so perfect I cannot compliment you in mortal words. You are my hero! 
I would have said "we'll see" after Mr. Macho said you had been ripped.

What i just tend to do is ignore them. People that like ripping others off are either stupid or desperate, when you keep talking to them in an organized manner while keeping them annoyed, it'll tick them off really badly 
. Just imagine!
You: You know this is worth more than 400g, just because your poor doesn't mean you should try to rip people off
Him: _______ is ignoring you
You: You should also know the manual doesn't list item prices... geeze your dumb
Him: _______ is ignoring you
You: If your desperate for money, you should try making some friends and hunting together
Him: Has logged off.

serves him right... *thumbsup* for you to sell him reward item which he can't salvage
people who insult me don't get anything - no healing, no res, no item, no trade - not even a thought about how pathethic they are. ^_^

Mr.Macho is a noob, and you sir are pro at ripping a noob for a HUGE sum of 400 gold. Be proud of yourself for you are 400 gold richer after scamming a noob...

It doesn't matter how you look at it. Mr.Macho is a noob. Maybe he's a noob who tries to scam others. But he's still a noob. In my previous post, I was just pointing out the fact the younggun87 was so proud of himself for scamming 400 golds off a noob.

But...
Isn't it cool to scam noobs, but not cool to scam newbs?
Edit: Not that I ever try to scam anyone personally.

As far as I read YoungGun's post, all he was telling us is not that he made 400, but that he returned some karma to Mr.Macho.

That's just classic. Very well done.
Mr. Macho doesn't sound like a noob. Just sounds like a jerk that is trying to take advantage of "newbs". He got his just desserts.

was in old ascalon and this guy was selling a 6-17 damage axe with a very nice mod for 100g so immediately pmed him "ill buy it". turns out it was a collector item or a quest reward. my 100 gold NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
/rantoff
(i did not try to scam him, he said he wanted 100g for it! MY 100G! NOOOOOOO!)

I love it I love it. you are now my goddess. all hail your mighty stroke of genius. I may just hold on to a few of those now just to do that to these jerks.
Oh and the Strat guide Does list the BASE values for the items, which is what you get for them from a NPC. Not the upgrades though.. but if you use an ID kit on it that is also revealed to you. I do that with everything I get to sell now, so the sale remains fair when it is inevitably resold.
Remains fair how? well they are trading for a item that is only worth 100gold and they are selling it for say 6000, well in the trade widow it is plainly seen it is only BASE VALUED at 100gold and the other person cancels the deal right away. It keeps others from getting ripped off CONTINUALLY.
NPC traders for customized weapons upgrades are SORELY needed in the game.

which quest is that with the +28 pommel on a sword cant remeber doing that one
younggun87
um... I must make this quite clear.
I did not post this in order to flaunt the method in which I earned 400 gold by scamming.
I am posting this in order to show you guys that there are major jack a$$es in this game that will try to rip their way through the game even though they claim that "I have 200k in my bank".
I know, quite well, that the method in which I used to teach him a lesson isnt at all right. Actually, it is also scamming. However, I believe that it is karma as most of you have mentioned. Scammers will be scammed.
And one more thing which I hate about these *rich guys. Sure, there are plenty of rich people who help noobs, but there are also the bunch who are insatuated in their own greed to exploit any noobs out there. I dont know about you guys but, I believe that those bunch will probably hve the same trait of personalities in RL as well.
