Was about 14 with three of my 14/15 year old friends on live during PoP, no idea which server. We scammed other players pretty badly, I feel awful looking back.
Bazaar was notoriously laggy for old ass computers back in the early 2000’s. So, naturally, we would be selling a Crystal Chitin Chestguard (I think there was a more expensive item with the same graphic) and because we were lagging sooooo badly, the Accept button wasn’t working. The buyer had their money in the trade window, we had the ~8k chestguard they wanted in the window, they had greened the trade, but, man, the lag was just so bad.
“Let’s move to the the wall, maybe that would help?”
Yeah good idea.
Repeat that a couple more times. Still too laggy.
“Okay just be really quick and maybe that will work.”
They opened trade with the 8k, we popped in a Brown Chitin Protector, the garbage 50p chest, they accept, we accept, and HAUL ASS!
Never ended up getting suspended or banned, there was a big announcement prior to server login warning of scams describing our exact method after we were at it for awhile. We stopped after that...
