I have wondered what is the view or facts about whether this is scamming or not; or whether its detable whether placing an item in your shop such as a 10% one hand sword attack scroll or a 8 WEP DEF PACl in your shop for high mesos. E.G 8 WEP DEF PAC 500mil. 10% Sword Attack Scroll 100mil. Note the player did not advertise anything in their shop related to the item. Is this scamming or not scamming? Edit: No, the person did not say 8 attack PAC 500mil. Edit: Yes I do this, although I always name my shop. "Devil's (Items/ Hold/ Shop) I do not advertise in anyway but I get called a scammer. Personal opinions This is not a scam. If the person is stupid enough to buy it, they deserve the loss. Thanks for feedback! I honestly expected some flaming but thanks Basil for the feedback. Yes I agree people should learn to read, and that's why I do it partly, weed out the idiots

Not scamming, I'd call it ripping off people, or being smart :D.

Not scamming. But still rude and i wouldnt do it. Almost the same as scamming though and you should feel bad. Tbh i dont know how people could scam or hack other players. You shouldnt do that and I wouldnt advise it.

it would be scamming if it said 8 att pac 500m (it was really a 8 def att) and somene buys it.

lol well if the shop title says "8atk pac 500m QUICK!" Thats sorta a scam, not a big scam cause its easy to not fall for it , but if they just leave it i dont think so. I saw a put a 6wep deff pac in his shop and the title said 6atk pac sale fast! lol somtimes i just pick a random thing and put it for 1bil so my shop cant be bought out so i can see who bought what =D

Not scamming.. haha a person should always look at what they buy.. you wouldnt buy a used car without checking it out first right? hahaha

Yeah, I do that sometimes when I want to see who bought my items. I wouldn't consider it scamming, more like recording.

a bit unethical, but it's the buyers fault i'm fine with it, as long as you don't advertise a gm scroll, or something like that btw, has it ever worked? lol

This was around the time of the first Gach Box event.
