Post in trade you cannot purchase the item that you put up and offer them a reward (30g or w/e idc...)
Once you see they've purchased it book it LOL (log off w/e)
Also, make the item inflated like alot, you wanna make money

1. Put an item up overpriced.
2. Say that it is impossible or glitched and that you can not possibly buy the item in Trade Chat and offer a 30g reward if some one can some how buy it.
3. That will make some body want to try and buy it.
4. Once you see some one fell for it and it sold, you chuckle with your money, and more then it was even worth too. |

1. Put up something on AH (pref blue or useful item) With ALT
2. Go on your main, post in trade "i think Ah is bugged i cant buy [Item You put up with your alt], will someone try to buy and ill just trade em with the gold"
3. Yay Gold.
Id suggest having some gold so if they ask to see the gold so they know u have it. |

Reputation: 1 | | | it seems no one has really cleared it up
first of all you make an alt and run him to the city
then you buy a blue or epic off AH that there is only one of
then you put the item back on AH for however much you want (dont go crazy on this, because the people gettin scammed only have so much)
then you make another alt and run him to the city
you say in /2 wtb <item> for (lets say 50g more than what it's on for)
spam this around a bit
you will eventually get a /w sayin i got it
then u log and check if ur first alt has got mail
then u log bk on and say 'soz dced' then u say ill buy
meet them
log
delete
make new char wit same name
delete
make new char wit same name
delete folder called cache in your WoW folder
and then you're done
a word of advice, if you are buying you're scamming item then make sure you buy a cheap one, because they sometimes don't sell |
