As a merchant, it`s normal to buy things for a cheaper price & sell for a higher price . I seriously don`t get what people`s problems are ... So just the other day i was in FM buying scrolls & items etc.. And suddenly this dude just trades me, He says you want this? (it was a 16dex robe) & i`m like sure offer please Then he says 1m Me: Umm suree. Nub: OMG SCAMMER ! OMGG REPORT HERR, SHE SCAMZZZ !, SHE TRYING TO SCAM ME ROBE . I`m like ..

Don't worry. He's such a noob. He offered that price. So in no way you are scamming. Unless he was unaware of the price value, then that would be scamming I presume.

Technically thats not scamming. Scamming is saying its worth less than it actually is but in this case he offered that price so it isnt scamming. A really thin line between merching and scamming =/

Technically, merching and scamming are the same things. You are simply trying to make a quick buck by ripping others off. Duh.

Aye, same thing happened to me recently. Some guy asked a Price check on some items, one of them was a 24 dex robe and I legitimately didn't know the value, told him what I THOUGHT it was, and he flipped out on me. People. I wasn't even trying to buy it!

What People don't realize is that, Merchanting and scamming are totally different. Merchanting is buying low and selling high. Even if u take advantage of newbies its still not scam Scamming is saying B>Ilbies 230mill Steelys 70mill etc.. and then actually putting in 777k or something

I think you guys don't understand the principle of scamming Scam is when you trick someone into doing something against his will If he offers you 1m, and both people accepts, how is that a scam?
