Instead of placing a scorp in the trade window he put a condor. Here's some of the chat log:
[ 2004.03.30 15:24:00 ] Bora Horza > 60 mill [ 2004.03.30 15:24:07 ] Isang Relow > after you put the scorp in [ 2004.03.30 15:24:27 ] Isang Relow > you kidding [ 2004.03.30 15:24:34 ] Bora Horza > no what's the problem?

I think I've spoken to this dude before, it rings a bell somewhere. But nowadays it's kinda hard to buy multiple battleships without scammers having a go once or twice before you find a real seller. If I remember correctly this Bora Horza is a guy who has been playing for a while and just fails to make money through legal means, after being bad at the regular gameplay he decided to be bad at scamming I guess. A condor for a Scorp is waaaaaaaaaaay out there! And the of course this piece of comedy gold: Quote: [ 2004.03.30 15:26:35 ] Bora Horza > accept it, if it's not correct then we'll swap back

Hey, let me have a look at it.
I'm rather sure that if it's indeed a bug, CCP will sort it out. Just post some screenshots so we can all agree that you are right, and the guy was bugged.
I mean, if Scorps show up as Condors, it's obviously a really severe bug, and CCP will fix it right away!
So, lemme have a look, please. I mean, what if the Scorp I'm flying ALSO shows up as a Condor???

Sure has worked. Well...dunno about the Condor for a Scorp...that seems a bit nuts but a popular one was trying to substitute a Griffin for a Moa as their icons are pretty similar. (I never got caught out by this fortunatley as I learned early when I was a noob and told a senior member there was a Moa in one of the corp hangars and he flew 15j to get it only to learn it was a Griffin ).

On the shuttle note, as its a disgusting trick that you should be shot on sight for, couldn't ccp set an upper limit, I mean come on, a shuttle is never going to ever cost, lets say more than 250k - so CAP the price for shuttles at that, then you won't get as many scammers.

Or just the regular market. Last night I saw in the Helmatar system two people where selling 2 or 3 pieces of Tritanium at 1mil isk. Several others were selling it between 100 - 1000 isk a piece. It just makes you wonder sometimes what people are thinking.

They are spamming the market and should be penalized for it. CCP should do something about it.

These scams do suck. And for the nice people buying shuttles at 10 mil, I try to strategically place shuttles where there is no A) Demand B) supply, and yes I charge 10 mil, usually cause there in deep Stain/Curse/FE/FA/*name of large alliance* territory. That way the invaders or defenders that happen to dock and need a shuttle fast at whatever the price buys it.
It is a law of supply and demand. I really dont care if anyone buys or not and theres nothing wrong with it.
Here in the US I remember a day when a certain pair of towers fell, and gass prices were gouged by at least 200%. Albiet the government squashed the infedels for price gouging, I still see it as you have the choice weather or not you buy the shuttle. If you dont like the price head to another station.
Also to avoid these scams, fly ships that dont look like anything else. IE. Show me a ship that has the Icon of a Mega, or a Tempest (Not shure on this one never flew it).
*Disclaimer* Random Babble is quite possible |

It is a shame I haven't had the personal pleasure of watching the vapour of your lungs disperse into space.
I just hope that everyone realises by undocking, ejecting and re-docking in an empty system with no-one else around you will be issued with a free n00b frigate. Get back in your capsule and recover your main ship and you're away.

Guess my few years in other games just makes me look first before buying anything. I always check info in a trade window, and always count commas or periods along with the zeros. Someday I may fall for it while not paying attention, but it would only be my fault really. Criminal activity is a real part of Eve, and price gouging schemes and cons bring out the seedier side of the game. Low?, yes...should be penalized by CCP? Nope.
