Today ingame, Someone a level 111, who will remain nameless, but I remember seeing them around back in the day on RS1, before they were egotistical.

Anyhow, she tries to manipulate this random player into selling their Dharok Helmet for her Karil Leatherskirt, I step in and say the average prices of both items on the forums. She was trying to say Dharok Helm went down but Karil Leatherskirt on the topic in Item discussion stayed the same..

She said something along the lines of if it's worth that, why don't I sell it, the random person has left by now, and I wasn't going to sell it to her, so I told her I didn't want to sell it. She obviously used this as reason that her prices were indeed right and that she sold 3 for the price today(of 800k, which is ridiculous), So I went and said. "I highly doubt that or you pressured them into buying like you tried to with the last person because you couldn't have done that price ont he forums". She then argued that I shouldn't but into her discussions and trades, but as it was being done in public chat, I told her it was called that for a reason and I wanted to help the other person out. She said she didn't sell on forums also, so I went on and said that her prices were a bit farfetched and that she wouldn't have gotten sales that high if she didn't pressure people.

Anyway she said she screenshotted something and said so and said something about being the next pie in line.. was very stressful, some random level 121 was cheering her on during this. Nothing reportable, just very stressful as I don't like merchants and I just wanted to help the original other person.

Edit: I have changed the title to suit the conversation, post how you feel about merchanting, the kind of ethical, or the blatant unethical kind.

You may post about your encounters with merchants, as long as you do not name them, or you may tell stories about your merchanting adventurers.

Pfft, that's retarded. I wonder what she meant by "Next pie in line." Can't you like, report her for Item Scamming with your awesome modliness?

Merchanting isn't illegal, just unethical.

Merchanting is the average person with sucky non combat stats' way of making money. They should make money by themselves.

Yes... I hate merchents... They don't really work in RS, just kind of a scam, in some ways. It's only a game, but still ;\

I think telling someone the price has changed for an item and taking their hard earned money could be considered a scam, but many people are going to disagree with me.

What's wrong with wanting a good price for your stuff, interaction with others is part of the game and it'ss obvious that Jagex has no issues with player-player trading as if they did they would have handy shops in which everything needed could be bought. Hell it's common sense to milk what you have for as much as you can :S.

I'm not disagreeing with what you did either, as of course helping people is also part of the game but there's really no need to make such a big deal out of it..
