Do you think anyone would buy Pam's Song service?

Warning: Long text ahead. Well here's my situation. I scrolled my Karstan to try to get it to 128 Attack by Hammering/Pam's Song"ing" and you know the rest. I bought it 1 at a time so I wouldn't burn my NX. I had 2 scrolls to start with. Anyway, the first scroll failed. So I used Pam's Song. Bought another Pam's Song and Pink Scroll just in case the second one failed. The second one worked, so I still had my second Pam's Song. Used the third Pink Scroll, that one worked as well. Now I'm stuck with a leftover Pam's Song and I have no use for it. Now I'm trying to see if anyone would be willing to give me an item and a scroll to upgrade it with so I they would be able to scroll it with a "safety net". If it works, give the item back with no charge. If it doesn't work, I would use the Pam's Song and they wouldn't burn a slot, with a discounted fee of a regular Pam's Song. Now I know you may think this is a scam, so I'll try to back it up with evidence of integrity.

[quote] BanditHelper : I think you did. Collateral basically means the person who has something to lose (the service-seeker) gets something from the person who has something to gain (the one providing the service) so that the person doing the service doesn't run off with the seeker's item. [/quote] K. Any ideas on how to make one?

While a lot of people say that the 50% scrolls weren't a glitch, the fact remains that there was and is controversy over them. Participating in the collection of the scrolls could tarnish one's reputation.

What if you scroll another item like a crap hat with 10% scroll, and it fails.

[/quote] Half of my characters use 2H weapons, and I have not bought, sold, or collected any of the scrolls nor will I. Personally, I wouldn't buy NX from anyone who did collect them because it means they look for easy money. Under the circumstances described by nikkolai, this whole "Pam's Song service" falls under easy money.

I think people would rather use a White Scroll by then.

[quote] nikkolai : collateral won't work You could just take the item, blow a random 10% or even a 1% clean slate on something you don't care about and give their item back.... "woops, it didn't work" I'd suggest a friend who can stand there watching you or a guarantee that you will fraps and send them a video. [/quote] Well, Yes and no. If he really is legit, then the slot will still be there since he used the pamsong. Now the 1% clean slate thing is smart, lol. Cause it doesnt remove slots and its bound to fail and not blow up

chickenpoodl : :P never happened to me before, but i've heard of a few people who have had their items blow. But still, Using the 1% slate is a clever move

I'm actually in the same boat as you, I have a Pam's Song left over from scrolling my Engaw. I personally wouldn't recommend selling the use of it to random people, I would just stick to selling it to friends/guildies/alliance members. I plan on keeping mine until after their gone from the Cash Shop then selling it.

Give something of equal value to whatever the person is giving you and charge them an extra fee for the pam song, just like a HB rental.
