Sannah Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Every once in a while it happens: you are looking for something using the SW, a something usually almost unbuyable, or worth a considerable amount of neopoints at least, and some shop owner has put it up for sale for a laughable amount, 1 NP maybe. I usually ignore such unfortunate stock and go for the first cheapest but reasonable option. Today, however, temptation was too strong and I bought the item. Does anyone know if you can get in trouble for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 You won't get in trouble for that. It's the error of the shop owner, and too bad for them. Or maybe they just wanted to be nice when they set the price so low.

Angeló Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 that would be a "snag" and it's not an offense .. I've made a few snags myself in the past and unless I got a neomail from the user saying they made a mistake pricing , then it's just good luck :) Heaven knows how many pricing mistakes I did back in the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yay for sniping items! It gives you a bit of an adrenaline rush when you find something for so cheap hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn the Human Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Nothing wrong here. Some people just say UB in my shop on the boards. Got some neat 500k+ UB's from there. You can call it sniping ( more of an auction house term) or restocking at the user shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sannah Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks for the responses, people. I guess I was wrong then, but I thought something very similar to that was frowned upon - maybe making overly advantageous deals with newbies at the trading post or something. But yay, then I am just lucky :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Cheating NP out of other users is the freezable offense. An example would be putting a Paint Brush Plushie on the TP for the price of the same Paint Brush, and convincing someone that it's worth as much as the Paint Brush. That's done with malice, and that's not allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D305 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Glad I ran into this thread, I've been fortunate enough to search for items and see that people have made mistakes with their prices.. Glad to know it's all fair game. I'm sure I've messed up a few times too anyways xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
