Friendly reminder to check out this thread to avoid falling victim to manipulation:
[Beware] Price Manipulation
- Sometimes people inflate their sales by overpricing an item involved in the trade.
- Sometimes people post ranges for their own benefit and don't reflect the recent trades.
- Some users will change their examine to claim they are accurate PC'ers, because this falls in a grey area and Fmods are unable to take action, be aware that some of these are false, they may even mention this in their post to try and deceive people.
- If a post looks suspicious, for example failing to mention second parties, screenshots, prices that seem very inaccurate compared to recent trades within the thread, then be very cautious.
- People that manipulate and use false ranges usually appear off in game and are never online to answer any queries about their ranges.
- Research the ranges advertised, to see if they include actual recent trades within the thread.
- Look for reports verified by both parties involved with the transactions.
It's a team effort to keep the community safe, since the Fmods/Jmods can't to do anything about it
