Im completly new at this, just stumbled across this site a few hours ago and read it all... yah. Anyway i was completly suprised you guys havent posted the reverse birthday. Heres how it works:
1. Yell or broadcast in trade that its your b-day (im sure youll get several congrats and alot of i dont give a ****s) and that since "all of you nice people have given me all this nice stuff that i cant use im going to sell it off to vendors or OBO"
2. Gift wrap CRAP. hammers work excelent
3. advertise epics and rares as un-useable for your level items that you want to sell
4. beat the horde of people that want those for rediculous prices away with a stick (try to filter out ones closer than one FP away from you)
5. tell the buyer "happy reverse birthday to me!! lol" and send crap to him for high COD giftwraped.
and thats my scam. ive made several hundred gold off of it on Aerie Peak since there are only a handfull of veteran players.
