NO, I am not a scammer and I don't plan to scam scammers, I am merely curious. And NO, this hasn't occured to me or anyone I know in Maple. Let's say your in the fm, and some guy says: "B>Steelys 10mil" Obviously way above the average price. You look at your inventory and see two sets of steelys sitting there. You trade the guy and he says "be quick" (common scam) he puts up mesos, waits like 1 second then cancels trade. Sometimes though, they put money up and click trade before you have done anything, so: Would it be okay to click trade quick and scam their mesos?

No, because you will be considered the scammer.

In my opinion, it serves them right. It would still make you a scammer though :P

iLikech0c0 said: "Did they scam you first?" I said, this has NOT happened, and no i haven't been scammed. And people would be smarter than to accpet a trade with someone they scammed...

Well, they're saying they're buying for 10m, so it's not really a scam if you manage you sell the steelies for 10m, it's just a good deal. =]

xD happened to me once, A girl was buying my branch nose for 400 mil. So I thought oki. I knew she was a scammer. So I quickly pressed trade, after she put in the 400 mil and I put in the branch nose. I won :D. It felt quite good after those many times I got scammed. Edit: I bought a 15 atk maple shield with that money. And that shield got stolen, cuz I forgot to change info after I bought Zhelm. So it's all gone now..
