    Yet another gold scam!

    Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Often, you'll have to find a noob who is lacking knowledge of the game to pull this off, or atleast someone who isn't paying attention.

    Well, in trade channel in Orgimmar I "/2 WTS: [Dragonstalker Breastplate], [Dragonstalker Helm]" etc etc. No, they don't have to be tier 2, or even epic for tha matter. Just BoP items you have.

    Of course you get the usual "Those r bop u noob" responses, but often times you are flooded with tells from noobs "how much 4 it."

    So, you tell them a reasonable price. Something you'd know they have. I offered my Dragonstalker helm for 75 gold. They usually jump at the offer, and sometimes even try to bargain you down *sigh*

    Anyway, you throw 'em a group invite, and meet up with them where ever. You open a trade, and put the armor / item in the "will not be traded" section of the window after the person has put the money in.

    Click trade, and enjoy. Yes, I have gotten this to work a 4-5 times, making about 500g. Usually the response is, "I don't think the trade worked. Its not in my bag!" and they ask for their money back. I like to scare them off with a "Now you're trying to rip me off?! You have the item, and I'll report you if you continue to harass me!"

    After that, they usually don't report.

    EDIT: Immediatly after posting I "sold" my level 40 mount that had been sitting my bag for months to some noob for 65g. You almost have to feel bad...

    If only

    I wish this would work but unfortunately on my server, instead of just whispering you saying 'BoP', about 10 different ppl would spam it in general chat.

    *sigh*

    You could always do it with items your about to use that are "bind when equiped".

    Post the item for sale before you equip it, then when you find a buyer, equip it and try this.
