Haha.

I had this bloke walk up to me in a rare trade selling his pillow for 0.3.

I thought this was a fantastic offer, one not to be missed!

So we opened trade, he entered the pillow, I entered about 0.4 and he exited trade and said his comp was messing up...

So we opened trade again...

I entered the 0.3-0.4 worth of norms I wanted to trade him for it, and was getting ready for him to enter his pillow and press agree..

However, after I had entered all the norms he entered a red 1 credit doormat. I would easily have pressed enter, had I been tired, or had it been a late night trade.

Just a warning to be observant before agreeing. :p

Good scam, might work on not so 'bright' people but yeah I don't trade so it won't happen to me

LMAO, I have seen this scam many times before but the funniest part is that now they can actually use an item that looks somewhat similar since the doormat and pillow at first glance could appear to look the same.

That's happend to me before, it was like 1am.... And another time this guy was so obvious, which is why I didn't fall for it, he was like "Your getting a good deal," "You wouldn't want to miss it." I was like humm, and he was going "I have to go quick so do the deal straight away ok," lol, I was like yeh right!

If there aren't any bright people, then they might fall for that :o
