buyer pretending as seller?

[wagorf]

just wondering if this anyone has seen this tactic from buyers as an attempt to lower market price

[Muggens]

I'm sure it happens both ways(to lower or raise prices)
I know I've had my suspicions

Pretty standard 4D elf sim chess. If you're not doing this are you even playing?

The best is bumping the same persons threads simultaneously to the top of their WTB thread of which all items are identical to their WTS thread(of course you know which ones are 30% higher)

It’s called making plat off people’s laziness it works in the real world too, think stock brokers, real estate brokers, third party logistics, travel agents, etc.

I do it all the time. I also Have guildies post fake sales at low prices and them ill message the real seller offer slightly higher than fake seller. works most of the time

Sounds like a smart tactic if you ask me. Welcome to the wonderful world of free market

Theres been at least a couple people doing that on Fungi Tunic. One idiot was auctioning it at 44k and saying sold as soon as you sent a tell. The other has been very recently auctioning it at 52k repeatedly every day, but never actually has 1 for sale.

[Mentathiel]

They are easy to pick out on the auction tracker if you are looking; something sells consistently for one price and then just one person is selling for 20% of that price or 200% despite the normal price barely fluctuating...

[ScottBerta]

Ya, dude been doing that with WTB fungi for 52k.
