    How guilty would you feel?

    Would you feel really guilty if you get a steal out of someones bazaar?

    In the context of this question (especially with an afk bazaar), only the most paranoid/naive/stupid/or easily shamed people would make a point of giving more money to the person. Nobody would even know but you (and the bazaarer if they weren't afk).

    The bigger question is, if your name is on the AH history for a slow selling (but expensive) item, and bought, say, a scorp harness+1 for 1.6 mil instead of 16 mil, would you give more money to the seller, or just /blist them?

    Mine. Then I'd sell it for the correct price.

    1. I didn't say the player was afk.
    2. It is a question of morals, not being paranoid/naive/stupid/ or shamed. Stop being an ass. :D
    3. I have no regret buying the items, just wanted to see other point of views.
    4. It wasn't like one mispriced item, I got over 10 items at a huge discount. So it definatly was on purpose.

    Simple solution: Always buy really expensive items on a mule you never use other than for that purpose.

    Answer to your own question? I take it you have done this before?

    No, but if I was in the habit of fishing for pricing errors on the AH, I'd do it on a mule. :D

    Hehe.... I just hope it wasn't like a pissed off friend that wanted to bazaar all his stuff really cheap to get back at him for whatever. I am not in this game to rip or piss people off. I have a good reputation and would like to keep it that way. :D

    This point makes me advise you to not give back the gil.

    And lol @ selling Juggernaut for 15k.

    I always felt bad about the guy selling. But at the same time, it isn't exactly your problem they sold the item for cheap. I mean, an LS mate of mine sold some Strider Boots back in the day when they were going for 6 million and he sold them for 600K. It sucked, people tried to get more cash out of the guy but he told us to fuck off more or less. Some people were pissed at him. But I fail to see why people should be mad at the buyer that got a great deal, than the person that sold them for the incorrect price.

    Sure, it sucks. But there are worse things in life.

    There's been two cases like this on Unicorn. Once upon a time ago, someone bought an SH+1 from someone's bazaar for like 100k (He missed 3 zero's to show max price)... The guy kept it and sold it for 12mil. While it wasn't the nicest thing to do, the buyer was completely in the right for doing what he did.

    Second instance is a person put a osode up on bazaar for 10% of full again and someone bought it. The "seller" then started rumors and blah blah blah about bazaar hacks and tried to get his under priced osode back. Didn't work.

    It's a personal perference though. If you're at Wal-Mart and you see the sale sign for "X-Box 360! $39.95" instead of $399.95 do you buy one and get the $40 X-Box 360 or do you tell someone "Hey, your sign is wrong, might want to fix it asap"?
