Echoing what "Established" Posted on V65:

[Beware] Price Manipulation


- Investigate accounts that people claim to trade with, be cautious if the account seems inactive for the last few months.

- Check a person's post history to see if they only list their sales and not buys or vice versa. This will show their intentions very clearly. (if they only list deals, they are trying to inflate, if they only list buys, they are trying to get the prices to go down.

- Sometimes, people inflate their sales by overpricing an item involved in the trade.

- Sometimes, people post ranges for their benefit and don't reflect the recent trades.

- Some users will change their examination to claim they are accurate PC's 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 who 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 do anything about it!

While it's fine to ask for screenshots or more details of a trade, it should be done in such a way as to not cast aspersions on the poster. A couple of posts above have been hidden for doing this. They are quoted below with only the requests for additional information:

Could you post a screenshot, or list WHO you bought this from, and WHEN?

[Edited]

Just wanted a clearer record for record keeping purposes, if possible? ;)

Hello, do you have the WHO/WHEN on this? And potentially a screenshot of the trade?

Please remember that you may not make accusations or insinuations about others on the forums. If you disagree with or do not believe prices or ranges posted, then you are free to ignore them. There is no need to make editorial comments on them or flame those posting. As J Mods have said in the past:
Original message details are unavailable.
We advise everyone to do their own research before participating in discontinued and/or high value items.
