He put them up for regular wisby gauntlets. I thought, "Wow! I just got a great deal." No where along the line did I scam him. I never tricked him into thinking I would somehow pay him anything in return later. God you people need a dictionary.
And you need common decency to realise that you're the one who is being an arse in all of this, at the very least, that'll be the publics view. The trade was clearly private, due to the lack of an actual private trade this is practically the only way to do it. At least have the courtesy to return the items that were not meant for you to take.
Speaking as a player, i've jumped into three teamspeaks so far to ask/tell someone that "their trade is still up, is it intentional, a private trade or really free to take". I'm out to make money on the market as much as the next person but you drag your own reputation and that of your clans when you do things like this. Don't expect people to see it as "you didn't scam him" because they will just see someone who refuses to return an item, whether or not legitemattly gained because someone made a mistake or wasn't quick enough.
Reputation might not stand for much inside a game but the torrent of abuse that you could get may have a bit more of a scarring effect, the cRPG community is one of the closest that I have ever been apart of and I assure you that there will be at least one person who remembers and it will effect you the rest of the time you play this mod.
I'm not saying that the seller didn't do something wrong, i'm just saying that people should understand that these things go on, and sniping one will always cause a commotion on the forums and therefore a public beating if you don't give it back, or, if you instantly say "yeah, ok, here you go, sorry for the trouble" you become the most decent person on the planet for a day or so. The reward for being a decent guy is less than that of being a twat, but that's practically how it always is...
In the nicest possible way... don't be a twat.
