So a couple of minutes ago I got this gem of an PM:
Quote:

I'll trade you my 4x Bluestone Helm for your KiKi Kitty

Sure, I'll trade my Kiki for an item with an ABP at 5,051g just because it has been temporarily inflated to a LBP at 5,450,000g rolleyes
I just explained to the gentleman that I was not a drooling idiot.
Have anyone tried to scam you in such an obvious way?

The reason that my avatar is so under dressed is because I got sick of people doing exactly that to me. It's even worse when you tell them no, give them a reason, & they continue to message you with "Why?" or insist that the marketplace lies & it's really a good trade.
I probably have the biggest ignore list on Gaia for this reason.

Idiots like that made me giggle until I turned off my 'receive pms from everybody' button. Anybody who needs to email me for something like a roleplay knows to do it through my mule.


I had an amazing comment on my profile when I was selling my 1st gen The Nightmare. It is still my favorite study in the stupidity of people on the internet:

So lik I can TOATLY buy ur Nitmare 4 4000g I cn evn send u th traed rite now I trus u thta mcuh wit my gs kthxx


I was promptly send a trade with 400 gold for a first generation Nightmare worth approximately 300k at the time.

I lol'd. I lol'd lots.

While it may not have been as vast of a difference as those above, this one guy said he'd trade a grunny for an orca tail that was worth I think about 15 K at the time. Oh yeah it was a grunny alright. A grunny TILE. And he thought I wouldn't notice. xd
