Usually the item is owned by the person selling and they will kick you soon as you buy it then you're stuck with useless item.

This been happening for awhile, I wont sell yo to anyone unless I know them personally or like the latest release Id buy 1 item at a time and list it. Sold in minutes, go by another and list it....worked well at 45K to 50K to 1

umm... NO, sorry i ask people to buy things for me from the AH that are yc all the time i am usually willing to pay over the normal prices. i dont see why you would not want to help someone out and make a few bucks.

yes, people will try to scam by all means. this does not mean you wont sell to the other person. but it means that you wont buy a silly pair of random glasses for 100yc, hoping someone will pay you 30k:1. when you apply some sense into the value of the item/ yc rate and everything. its not very hard to understand a cheap trick for a genuine situation.

Rule #1 of selling Yocash: Never EVER buy something from the AH for someone unless you have physical access to their throat.

Too much risk involved vs reward. risk assessment should be used in these trades.

I agree its about common sense. But surely you can see how these sketchy people are ruining it for honest players such as yourself?

JMO but when something is used 9 times out of 10 to scam, such as AH YC and doubling coins (some people do good deeds under that guise) you're better off finding another way to give coins and sell YC. Sucks for that 1 odd man out but a Yo has to cover their tush.
