WanXpy Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 What if he trades you randomly and offers you it for a weapon is that considered sharking too? Cause it has happen to me before this happens to me almost everyday. not max -> weapons but some people wants to pay 5-6 times more of the item value. i generally don' accept and make a fair trade and warn them but i ask this question everytime to myself. its all about ethic..

Heated Bread Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 It's sharking, yeah. If you know the price of something and you know you are clearly getting it for vastly less than its true value and you say nothing to that person about this fact, then you are sharking them. You're clearly seeking to take advantage of their lack of knowledge for your own personal gain. You need to let them know first. If after that, they are still fine with it, you're in the clear. As long as you gave them the opportunity to make an informed decision, you're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo The All-Gnawing Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Its fine. The community is just so fucked up that every 0.33 you pay less is considered as sharking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heated Bread Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If you wanna be that ignorant about it. Just ignore him. He obviously didn't even read the OP, otherwise he never would have said that. Just another moron who can't read. Probably belongs on outpost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipebombamz Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 It all depends really. If you knew the value, yes its sharking. But if both users didn't then no. Unless the owner of the max was desperate for 4 ref and some hats. then thats not sharking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Status Update Nazi Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I think it depends on if certain people think prices like how many keys the max's head is is on a need to know basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjon123 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 So in that scenario that you trade some hats and weapons for a max and both sides are happy then you are bad because you profited big time and he didn't know that you did. But what if you buy a vintage bills on SCM for $2.5? Is that sharking? Is that bad? Does the medium of indirect contact somehow make it "legal" or "moral"? What about a trade offer? What if you offered some guy one key for his earbuds and he accepts? What if some guy trade offers his earbuds for your weapons? Trade offers offer a means of trading that limits direct contact between parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ward - MvM Anyone? Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 DO NOT LIST IT ON OUTPOST you will get banned, if you keep it and wear it then maybe in about 6-9 months you can sell it I didn't buy one, but it would be sharking if I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jazz Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 What if you told him that he was being ripped off and he says he doesn't care and still wants whatever little he asked for? Is it still sharking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it still sharking? hmm, if you told him that its worth 3 buds and he said that he doesn't care he still wants your weps, then I guess not... but for all we know he could think that earbuds are themselves worth a few weapons, very slippery slope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
