Most you ripped someone off?

Well today I think I ripped someone off the most in my maple life... I think. I just started getting into the merchenting business, and some girl was selling bottom wear for dex, and i told her its not worth more than 500k and she believed me, and i bought it. I can easily re sell it for 20mil but I felt really bad...

ANYWAYS i was wondering if you guys ripped anyone off that bad, and if so how?

[quote=darkstars590]Some merchants scam people. The other merchants rip people off. There is a difference.
If you trade someone that is selling a GFA 60% and say that it is only 1mil at highest, that is scamming.
If you trade someone that is selling a GFA 60% and you say offer, then they say 1m, that is ripping people off.
If you trade someone that is selling a GFA 60% and you offer 1mil, and they agree, that is ripping people off.
The difference is, if you lie to the other person about the price, that is scamming. If they agree to a price you offer, or you agree to a price they offer, without telling them lies about the price, that is ripping people off.[/quote]

The first one is still ripping off if the other person agrees to it.
Scamming: When a person is selling a 60% GFA and then puts in a BW scroll without the person knowing about it. Selling NX but never actually giving them NX. Selling leech and running away, etc.
Ripping Off: Buying things for less than they're actually worth. Since the seller agrees, its their fault.

My bro bought an equip (forgot what it was) for 150m and it was worth 1.5b. (He forgot to put an extra 0 in his shop.)
So he made a 1.3b+ profit?

I've had some pretty nice deals. Things like clean raccoon masks for 10-20m, TT30 for 15m, Shield M.ATT 60% 500k, 4 ATT PAC 30m and much much more. I used to take screenshots for all my good deals but I had to reformat my comp so I lost most of them =/ Only 2 I have left are the TT30 and Shield M.ATT one.

[quote=Rann]well, of course you should feel bad about it, because first of all, you shouldn't have told her that is not worth more than 500k. in my opinion, you are not ripping her off, you just scammed her. you could have just "offer" 500k you know?
OT: maybe a 60% dagger for atk for about 1.5m when db just came out[/quote]

^this
it's scamming if you make someone believe it's a certain price or if you "trick" someone into selling it for cheaper. it's called ripping off if the person just happens to not know the price and sells it for a lower price without you "tricking" the person. that's why most legit merchants AREN'T scammers. however, those "merchants" that do those old scams are just scammers.

OT: 14atk twice hammered for 250m?

Bought specs for 640 and resold for 800.
Ironic part is that the guy called me a noob and said they were only 400m after I bought them.

I ripped tons of guys off.
However, my best one would be buying spec goggles for 100m and a good karstan (worth 100m)
for clean spec goggles.
I traded specs for 5 10 att u/h wg's and sold for 140m each (700m)
So i gained around 500m O_o

I was selling ilbi before
and they guy was in a rush
he entered and placed the money and had his side "traded" before I could put the ilbi in
I took the chance and took the money, he got mad
but it was his fault
