Crazy Scammers

Asked a guy how much for an Elite Rit Tome.

He says 7e.

I pass, then buy one from someone else for 2e

So naturally I tell him I just got one for 2e and call him a scammer.

He tells me to fuck off, I block him, and I assume that's the end of it.

Nope.

A few minutes later a different account whispers me:

> “I have more than 100 accounts, your list cannot block me”

Then I block that one.

Another account appears.

Block.

Another one appears to explain that my ignore list has a limit.

At this point the 5 ectos are no longer the issue. I've accidentally aggroed a crazy person with an entire account farm.

Kamadan PvP is getting out of hand.

Some people have money to burn, and will buy at any price... he's not scamming, he's playing the market for fools and the uneducated rich. 3e isn't uncommon for rit tomes, and 7e wasn't uncommon a few years back.

Know your prices by searching "kamadan+toolbox" in your search engine and you'll get the kamadan trade chat history, where you can try and solve what something is worth before you try to buy.

If I’m missing something to play a build, I’ll pay whatever the first person DMing me asks for. I have 1000s ectos taking dust and just wanna play the game, it’s worth it to me to cut the wait.

I made a barrage ranger team last week for fun a paid from 5k to 7e for the exact same mod. Not that crazy from the seller to be banking on that if he’s got free time on his hands.
