It's like Jack and the Beanstalk, but in this case, stones and a horse, and the title is Rick and the Scammer, i wonder what would happen if you were to bury those stones...

or better yet he ricky gets his shit lol

[Zisa]

I find ricky mostly annoying.
This is bullshit though, hopefully the guy mans up and honors his deal.

No chance of that

[SeQuel]

Eh, he made a mistake - stupid or not there's no need to bash him.

[Zisa]

No chance of that

Err why not.. your word is your bond, this was not somebody posting incorrectly on marketplace, but a pre-arranged agreement. As such, failure to honour such an agreement is a stain on the community and honest merchants everywhere.
Also, as a stain on the community, perhaps the community would prefer not to have said player, but what do I know.

Our clan came through on picking up an item that was +3 listed for a regular item. We returned it within a few hours, but saved the individual from Wolves a lot of grief. Yes, I agree Archer was foolish with this decision and while he typically runs 95% of his Marketplace stuff by me before doing it, he didn't this time.

I hope a Mod can get ahold of me and we can collaborate on getting this back to it's rightful owner as well as seeing what can be done about the individual who stole it. Sorry to hear that this happened Ricky, be safe, not sorry in the future. There's still a chance we can make this fixed if not Opals steps forward and corrects it him/herself in good faith.

what I want to know is WHAT THE FUCK?!

This trade could have been a lot better = you lost the +1 bastard first and then not lost the cata or gold.

Personally I have no sympathy because well this was an obvious scam and the only thing i hate worse than scammers are the people who fall for it. You're FEEDING THEM!

[Phoenix]

I agree with you guys that Ricky was kindof stupid to do that.... but still...

Admins should do something because he did get scammed and he should get his stuff back.

If devs are too lazy to try and fix the marketplace, a thing that I remember in another game was threads that were contracts.

I, hereby, give ____ this ____, for the princely sum of ______ and shit.

Post would be uneditable. Would make a lot of posts, but would clear up things realll quick (could be another section under marketplace).

e: Signing the contract and not holding it up would result in the removal of marketplace of the scammer, or some other fitting punishment.

[Leesin]

Wow, getting scammed should not only end in punishment for the scammer, but under the victims name on the forum it should have a huge label that says "DUMB".

Come on guys, how would you feel if you were in his shoes? Be nice..

See this is the problem!

I am rather new to CRPG and I would NEVER FIND MYSELF IN HIS SHOES!

I believe that one learns from his mistakes. The harsher the ... lesson the better the learning. So he lost a +2 item so its a mistake he will most likely never make again!

I really do not understand what the Admins need to do about this! Return the items? Why? Because he got TRICKED?

Well sorry the Marketplace here works like the free market. Fools get fooled, hagglers haggle and the prices go up and down depending on the amount of goods in the market. If the market got flooded with looms their price would go down... if people decided not to sell anything just so they can grow their epeen by having even Loomed Stones also the price will change...

Why should the admin (read Goverment) step in and mess with the free market?

The OP should have simply said... NO! To this obvious bad deal! Or perhaps he should have asked for a collateral... for example he should have put for trade his +2 horse the 400k and asked for the +3 sword... if the person said no (although there is a massive collateral given) he obsiously was not to be trusted!

If you are scammed come here, post it to alert the community, post it in buy/sell forums but dont whine about being given back what you foolishly lost! Tough it out and try harder. If you have a clan and friends ask some support from them in being given other items to make up for it...

Sorry if this sounds harsh but unless you pay for your mistakes you dont learn.

[Dezilagel]

...and once again this kind of bullshit happens.

I feel for you man, but mostly I just feel sad for the community, harboring this kind of people who seem to value some shiny heirlooms higher than their fellow players.

You know what?

I got some spare gold right now, and since this guy is probably never going to give you your stuff back, and you're a pretty new player, I'll help pitch in with 250 k.

Put up an offer and I'll accept when I see it.
