I got burnt for 10k on a sash of the dragonborn (he did it in reverse from how the OP was scammed - I was buying the sash but gave the money to the char he was on in EC at the time first. He told me that he would be right back on a char named Olympia with the sash). I petitioned also but never heard anything back from it. Just want to give the heads-up to use caution as this person must have been at this scam for some time now.
EQ Classic took the stance of - Trading is your OWN RISK, in saying so they made it possible to scam. But they also made it the person trading responsible for their own losses.

While it sucks you got scammed, these have been around for 14 years now and people should be well aware of the, "let me just switch characters" line.

If you ever hear it;

Either A DONT DO THE TRADE
or B Make sure you are the person holding all the cards, never give away anything for something later.
