Okay as this is my first post I hope you will like it.
For this scam you will need 2 accounts by the way, since you can't bid on your own auctions. Just use a scammed acc or borrow a friend's.
Most of you've heard about the "Goldfarmer scam"?
When you see a crap item for about 1000g sold by Greg, then you make another char called Grég and put the same item up, for the same amount of money.
Well this is my idea, when you see that white item on sale for 1000g, and search for it on the AH, and you see like 5 auctions of that item, you buy all 5 of them and put them up for a very expensive price.
The other scammers that think they will earn 1000g will buy that item for a ridicoulus amount of gold just to find out that it was only a prank auction.
Just came up with a better idea: You put up that crap item for a even amount of gold.
Example: [Light Leather] Buyout 1500g
Then you buy all Light Leathers and raise the price on all of them, very high.
Steps guide:
1. Buy a cheap item.
2. Put it out for a lot amount of gold.
3. Buy all other auctions of that item. (Remember, do this from your friend's account!)
4. Put them out for a high amount of gold. (Remember, do this from your friend's account! Don't put out both auctions on the same character!)
5. The scammers will think it's a person that has bought gold from a website. Then they will search the Auction House for that item. As I mentioned earlier that item will be on sale for alot of gold, then they will buy it and you get profit!
Good luck! :wave:
