This scam is absolute fail but here's for the people that haven't seen it yet. It's pretty stupid though Let's say someone is buying steelies over priced. Well I was selling that someone my steelies because I thought it was a good deal. Here's the scam they keep canceling and canceling so that they make you press trade really fast. I waited for him to put up his money then I hit trade and okay really fast. His invent was full. I would've scammed the scammer but I guess he was just really nooby. Just giving a heads up.

I think you must've been pretty lucky with avoiding these things. Someone tried to scam me with this around about 6 months after maple was released. It was for wolbis though :o

It was for wolbis though :o" Wolbis were probably worth alot more back then than now. OT: It happened to me. We were on the boat to Orbis and I told a guy I was selling an apple, wanting to know if he would buy it. He said sure, so I put up the apple and he put up 2.2mill (what I asked for). Then he cancelled, and I put my apple back up, but then, he only put 220k and hit trade. I didn't press trade because I foresaw it, but noone on the boat believed me that he tried to scam.
