So I was searching the cs today when I came across some sai's being sold for heaping prices. Now any sai that's above level two can be bought by an npc named slim in fathom crypt. Please don't buy these because you can buy 'em for a fraction of what people are trying to sell them for. Also I don't want to name names if you don't mind me doing so. http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa344/idonthaveone4/1313951129-picsay.jpg

Sais, colored Scimitars, heavy maces, etc. are all sold by NPC's. Many people know about it by, but it used to be people thought they dropped in ao1 (the sais) I believe there are a few threads on this already though:)

Yeah, they used to be discontinued, worth quite a bit, IRC.

Then the devs brought them back.

A couple people were very upset.

It can or might not be a scam. It depends on the seller and the intention of the buyer. If the seller is buying low from NPC's and selling high to the community, thats not right and would be considered a "scam". If he was just uninformed about the price, (although idk how this could be unless he, too was scammed) it was just a simple mistake and the seller should be informed and should change the price.

I don't think it's a scam. It can be an uninformed puchase, but it can also be bringing it to the customer. If you go to Disney land, the waters are 10X more than the ones at the store a few blocks away, but no one is gonna go to the store to buy one, they'll just buy it there if they're thirsty and overpay so they don't have to leave and come back :p

Umm..I don't think that was the intention by the poster. He's just saying that it might not be a scam and pointin out why.

Umm..I don't think that was the intention by the poster. He's just saying that it might not be a scam and pointin out why. how do you think the seller got his hands on the item theyre trying to sell? by buying it! and if we're talking aboot sais, maces, or whatever other item is purchasable via an npc im pretty sure they know its not worth 20+ k gold. now if (not knowing the price) the seller originally bought the mace, sai etc. from the cs and then decided to sell it then thats another story but if the seller knows its worth then trys to resell it for 10x the money then thats a scam. I'm done arguing, we all have our opinions and points of view and im leaving it at that. I'm going to play pocket legends! :)
