i know this is an old scam but here's it in action! They failed badly :P
Firstly: http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k597/davidjamesgk/failscam1.png
hmm suspicious seeing as it's only 3c in catalogue!
Secondly: http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k597/davidjamesgk/failscam2.png
What's that? within 30 seconds of you leaving someone wants to sell me one for 10c, suspicious! What's even more suspicious is that you deleted me when I said I found someone. That's Weird :S
So avoid this fail attempt :P

People have tried this to me in the past, even friends :P, but that was with supers. Anyway, at least you didn't fall for it, particularly when it's in the catalogue for only 3c. Would have been interesting to see their reaction if you actually had one in the first place though :P.

I knew it was a scam from the beginning I mean who would buy a USA flag for 15c? I just wanted to see how stupid they were XD Usually they do non-catalogue items like a eco cactus 2 r something simply because they think if it's only x in catalogue h would buy it XD

Had people trying to fool me loads, never works :P

The two people are the same person, you're buying it from the person selling it for 10 coins with the hope of giving it to the other person for 15 coins, but this person who wanted to buy it will log off so you're stuck with a flag you bought for 10 coins which is pretty expensive when they're worth 3 coins in the catalogue. Meanwhile the person who sold it to you is laughing because they sold it for way more than it was worth. :)

ooh, i understand now. mean people sometimes :( thank you(: xx
This happend to me before
its like they work together,
one comes in and then trys to buy one,
you add them.
Then another sells you one cheaper and then they both run off
I posted about this one a while ago but the scam board seems to delete posts...lol.
I had someone recently try it with a hot chocolate 'if you have one I pay 50c' I did have one so she then said 'I need two, come and find me when you have two'. She then left her room and some random guy appeared (room wasnt an event) selling and sure enough...he had a hot chocolate maker.
