Buyer always need to be aware of all items and if not sure take the time to check....

I think if we all band together and keep reporting we can try to stop the people who scam even if it takes a long time I feel we need some sort of monitor (a viking worker) who goes to these events and gives the person(s) a warning and or a ban for a day or so.

I think if people see how much the owner wants for whatever item on the event request to report it to vikings as soon as possible if it doesn't sounds right send a photo to Vikings and have them take care of the person.

I was "scammed" today.
Bought a item off a woman who clearly had lots of then as she traded instantly without editing the room,turns out it's still instore for half the price...if she's that's desperate for the coins she can have them...

And scamming has been a part of this game for as long as I can remember,at the end of the day it's not something that can be stopped 100% by BVG,it's comes down to player awareness.

I don't feel bad for the person who try to over price a cheap item I think that a lot of times I know there's the your item your price thing but I think it's a bit nuts if a person try's to sell a cheap item say like the yo pajamas over it's real price for a higher...

You confuse me, thats exactly what happened. Snowball machine got released and someone put it in AH for 10m (in store for 8K) and someone prob didnt take notice to the pop up and bid 10m on it. I feel bad for the buyer who prob has no clue

Lol I think I used to know that guy. Hate to see him being shady like that if it's the same guy.

Yes, buyer beware on here. I feel for it once and then re familiarized myself with what was in stores. Knowledge is power people.
