The most expensive item right now is the Balac's suit valued at 10m. The most I ever see traded at one time is 20-30m for batches of officer suits, and those are usually done in multiple trades (3-5 suits at a time)
But when you have items worth 50-200m for ONE item, there will be many more scams going on, and much bigger ones at that.
Although honestly, not getting scammed is pretty easy, as long as you always follow proper trading etiquette.
Pretty easy.
-Always send isk first or make sure you get isk firs
-Do multiple trades for anything over 10 items, or 5m
-Never trust anyone, especially people without a mic, or with weird names that include '420', 'URMOM', profanity, etc.
-Only trade for what's fair: super cheap or huge offers are almost always scams.
Of course, with any big purchases of a single item such as BPOs, you should always go with a neutral third party, or at least someone trusted within the trade community,
I have had multiple deals with a RND/NF (SOS) guy who has got to be one of the most trusting and trustworthy guys around.
Sold him 5 balacs suits,,3 Frames,,Some Officer RR's for 55 Million isk. AND he sent the isk first. I have had mulitple transactions with him and all of them have been over 30 Million isk at a time.

Who was that dude that Awoxed ERA's Corp wallet and sent a huge Mass attack against Nyain San? Commander Marques (sp) I believe. ERA ended up having a meeting with Nyain and they worked out an agreement and no showed all the battles. Marquez burnt,,from what I heard like 2 Billion Isk. Commander Marquess. And he didn't keep a penny. 
Yeah I know. I would have banked every penny of that. But he did something awesomer with it.
I have grown to respect Kain Sperro (sp) more and more. I had read in a thread that someone was ripped off during a purchase and Kain was able to work out to where the ISK was returned. I dont know if he did it himself or what,,,but that was pretty #honourgable. |
