Yesterday i was docked, minding my own business :) when suddenly a trade window opened. It was mostly t1 drones but also some cruisers etc. The items werent so special except for the fact the quantity was quite large (100's of drones). I guesstimate the value of 100 - 200m. Ofcourse the req. isk tab was 0. Now, what i'm wondering is, is this the kind of scam where they change the isk amount at the moment you accept the trade?
I was thinking of transferring my isk to an alt and try it out when i decided it wasnt worth the effort. But still, how fast can the isk amount be changed when the trade is accepted?

Making changes to the trade window takes away the little ticks you get when clicking accept. Sounds more like someone traded with you by mistake (it happens).

The trade scam used to work where they would have the items in the window, and you would offer money (say for a navy mega) then they would remove the item and click the check as you clicked the check, the lag would conceal the removal of the item for a second. end result is they would have your money and their item.
What you are describing wouldn't be a scam since you didn't offer any money. Unlike contracts, you can't demand money in the trade window, it has to be offered by the other guy. Phear the PHAIL |

There are a few ways to do the trade window, I prefer to make a trade with someone, for example 2 plex for 600m or whatever. I'll type in 600m and wait for them to accept, once they accept i'll say "uhh it says the item isnt available?" So then I say hang on just need to clear my catche maybe its lagging. So I then close the trade window and open a new one in 10 seconds. He drags in the plex and I type in 600m, but then it all comes down to timing, he knows you didnt change the value last time so why would you this time? Give it about 2 seconds (count the seconds) this is normally the perfect timing for him to check the amount and hit accept, you change the value in literally 0.2 of a second and accept, ofcuorse he is still moving his mouse to the accept button and boom job done. My lucky number of isk to change it to is 2 isk. Dunno why it just works for me.
Give it a try.

I usually trade away annoying containers to random people in station instead of waiting 30 days to trash them. Just rename them to 'BPO collection' or somthing like that

twice now ive scammed jita "cnr" trade window scammers for 350k instead of 350m. both times they try to brush it off, but of course im hysterical. serves them right for being annoying. i just copy/paste 350000 and open trade put in 350m. open isk window and have mouse where "accept" is. when i see ship enter i hit enter and click accept as fast as i can. i suppose i could mess up sometime, but havent yet.
Totally not an alt of Jesslyn's, who might or might not be able to post for 'personal attacks' when calling someone dumb. |
