Did I just profit big from getting scammed?

So I was getting a 90% service from "Flaskerz" but he decided to run. Got his collat though.

My item: Clean 3L Unique Empress Knuckle 9%att 6%str 6%str with 25% boss neb.
Clean knuckle 100m + Unique pot scroll 1.2b + 25% boss neb 700m = TOTAL 2b (I think I could of sold it at max 2.5b)

His collat: 116 hammers + 25% boss neb
Hammers are worth at lowest 20m each atm but after New Years shop closes and red shop closes they'll probably go back up.
(116x20)=2.3b + 25% boss neb 700m = TOTAL 3b (for every 10m the hammer price rises I earn an extra 1.16b profit)

Also to note, I got the knuckle to unique with those stats with 1 cube and the boss neb for free from Java.
After telling this to Flaskerz he asked to trade back but I said no. lel
I think I just won.

I managed to buy a better clean emp knuckle +3att above avg 3L unique, 30% boss 15%pdr for 1b
Which means that even if I sell the hammers at 9m each I make a profit.

[quote=MstrPgda]as for the knuckle, he already bought another one unique for 1b i think. and i was talking about buyers. buyers dont care if u failed 100 90% scrolls on ur weapon. theyre not going to pay for ur bad luck.[/quote]

@Green4EVER: um, thats not the first time they gave out a bunch of hammers. thats how ppl sold hammers before the hot times we just had u know 0_0. ppl still had leftover hammers. the price crashed and as long as nexon doesnt put out more free hammers they will inflate. i also said "peak".

[quote=MstrPgda]keep in mind that no1 cares about how many scrolls u pass or fail to get to the end result. just supply and demand mostly. though difficulty also factors in like boom chance. hammers at their peak sell at 150m ea and knuckles, even with good potential arent really in high demand.[/quote]

I was factoring in that fact that he's probably going to try to make a new knuckle using the same items he used in this thread, meaning he could potentially spend more on the new knuckle and not make any profit out of "getting scammed", so yes, people do care.
lol @ hammers for 150m. You do realize there were two Hot Times that gave them out recently, and you can't deny the fact that people farmed them on mule accounts. Hammers crashed hard because of that.

A couple things to keep in mind when comparing your prices:
- What if the Unique Potential Scroll doesn't work on the first try on your next Knuckle?
- 116 Hammers will take quite a bit of time to sell.

[quote=Staarbucks]Well he went afk for a bit, then told me to buy back my knuckle for 3b, then started calling me noob etc...
Then after I told him that his collat was worth more he said to trade back.
He's also scammed @MstrPgda before, so I just denied him and left.[/quote]

Well if you're patient then sure, but I'd be pissed because I don't like being left with a load of crap to sell.

[quote=ipavec]sounds like you're the scammer though...
you said you wouldn't give his collat back after he asked...
guess it depends how he ran.

OT: save the hammers (y) [/quote]

[quote=Copyrighted]Well....the only upside i see for his part is that the knuckle might be easier to sell than 100+ hammers....then again that could be untrue since knuckles don't sell too well either[/quote]

Yup knuckles hardly sell in Broa, most buy clean to self scroll with red coins, or go for fafnir ones.
