    seems like the fault is yours for buying two overpriced helmets...
    What qualifies it as a scam is the OP's assertion that the person offering the wing for two helms was the same person who sold him the overpriced helm, then disappeared. If it is, or even if it was a collaborator, it would certainly qualify as a scam in my book, a scam that can be avoided by just being sensible, but still...

    Okay just to clear things up, TBH I thought Jacobs helmet sold at 120k nowadays, but thats not the point. Void wings are still pretty rare in this game, and I was desperate to get one to complete my archer set.

    I bought the first Jacobs helm for 110k, and bought the second one at 180k.

    Considering that void wings don't sell any less than 300 or sometimes 350 for that matter, and considering that they are still relatively rare in the game, I believe I still had a good deal going on.

    If any of u find void wings and are selling them for 250k - 300k I'll buy them

    I'm still a bit stumped because I've never seen anything done like this, but I'm happy that I got to experience it because now that I know, I won't be scammed again.

    Well that still doesn't really qualify it as a scam... Lots of people sell void wings and Jacobs helms, so you can be positive its the same person. Even if it was, I guess it's kind of a scam, but part of the fault gos to you for buying the over priced helms, even if you weren't aware they were overpriced. You should never buy over priced things even if it might get you a good deal in a trade, because you never know what can happen.

    Ah wells I guess you could put it that way,
    But I've never encountered this type of scam before, and I'm sure you'd blame all those people who have never read the forums before. I'm sure we'd all love to see them get scammed

    This is just a post warning others about the dangers of this scam. I'm not looking for sympathy.

Oh and the other scam moonchu use was trading halloween set for void wing and power armor lol. Next thing you know there a guy selling halloween

    buying 2 jacobs for an average px of 150 is not that bad.. u can still sell them back out now for around that price in town.... 150 is the high end but doable so sell them back out now before they drop even more in price.

    sigh. yeah so much greed involved. tsk tsk. One of the main fun things about the game is the difficulty of earning money. With all the money in PL, what fun would there be? You can buy anything you want and there wouldn't be much to do anymore except to look for more items and just PvP.(although pvp is awesomely fun when bored.)


    @Inching: hm i think jacobs cosmos dont really sell for that price now. it's been a bit difficult selling them for 100k already. I sold one a few days ago for 150k, but now i'm having trouble selling this one. =/
