Name your own price for gold

[chrischris]

Ok...here is an opportunity for all you skript kiddiez to learn about HTTP POST requests.

First go get a HTTP debugger whichever one you like best
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Then check out one of these gold sellers:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

If you pay attention when you add gold to your cart, you can assign whatever price you wish.

You will still have to pay.

Now I will tell you that while I did not get any gold from doing this, I am pretty sure it is because I tried to get too much and pay too little for it. In live chat however, I did have people that initially confirmed my order and were ready to deliver (but I don't think they had that much on hand) sometime after the delay, they realized that something wasn't right.

However I also got my money back, so there was no loss (I was using a prepaid credit card for anonymity reasons).

I will warn that it is possible to modify the amounts that are being sent to PayPal's payment system, but this is not recommend since you are now messing with a request sent to paypal, if paypal got pissed about this, they potentially have more power to come after you...but if you are willing to take the risk, then virtually any gold seller that uses paypal is a possibility.

So, worst case, you are out nothing, best case you get some gold on the cheap.

If nothing else, maybe the gold seller will learn to use a proper shopping cart.

post success stories and other sites that have similar issues

cool i will try this out +rep if it works


edit:i dont know how to do this can you explain pls

<input name="cart_type" type="hidden" id="carttype" value="1" />
<input name="game_id" type="hidden" id="game_id" value="29" />
<input name="game_name" type="hidden" id="game_name" value="World Of Warcraft EU" />
<input name="server_id" type="hidden" id="server_id" value="3120" />
<input name="server_name" type="hidden" id="server_name" value="Balnazzar-Alliance" />
<input name="gold_id" type="hidden" id="gold_id" value="256445" />
<input name="product" type="hidden" id="product" value="2000 Gold" />
<input name="gold_num" type="hidden" id="gold_num" value="2000" />

Edit the price value i think
<input name="price" type="hidden" id="price" value="79.6000" />

Nice idea.
I've used similar concepts before but a lot of sites check the balance that you have provided and notice it's a low figure like $0.10 etc.

you can always move the comma ahead a bit but never use 0.xx amounts

how lazy codeing by the gold companys shouldn't they check the inputs

[chrischris]

I don't spoon feed, but I will point ppl in the right direction....

with the HTTP debugger (eg. Firefox Tamper Data, Fiddler for IE, webscarab, etc)
you can edit the request before it is sent to the server...if you look at the requests, you will see that for some companies (specifically the ones listed) they send the price as part of the request.

The reason this works better than just messing with the PayPal amount is that some of the automated systems record the shopping cart and then compare the shopping cart amount to the paypal details (automatically).

If you muck with the paypal value, they won't match (some of the ebook sites do this as well)

however, since you are instead mucking with the actual values being sent to the shopping cart everything lines up...the shopping cart really thinks that is the price for the gold.

The "correct" way for the sites to handle this, is for you to order an "item" and then on the back end the server knows the price for the item, then you don't have the option of changing things....that is the way it is done by a majority of the sites.

Basically, get a debugger, and start playing with it....send requests to basic sites (like google) and muck with the request....debuggers usually work in 2 modes, monitor mode, and intercept mode....in monitor mode, there is no interaction, but you can review all requests that have been sent to the server and look at the values. In intercept mode (it is called something different in each debugger) it will give you the ability to change the request before it is sent to the server.....that is how you modify prices.

Once you get the hang of it, start keeping your eye on things that have shopping carts...you will be amazed at how much fun you can have

[chrischris]

here are some tutorials on a few of the tools.

If this isn't enough information to get you started, then this scam isn't for you.

anyone test this out yet? seems like a smart idea.

[chrischris]

well as I said in the original post...I "tested" it, absurdly going for 8k gold for around $20....I followed up with live chat as instructed and they said that they had confirmed my order and were working on gathering it. Some even had me post some auctions in preparation for delivery....however somewhere along the chain someone looked closer and saw the problem with the money.

I think that if the gold had been in stock they might not have realized until it was too late....hell 500g for $0.01 may have even worked.

[Idioot]

hell that would rock!!

seems to be cool...

Used search and ended here, as I got a question.
My Fiddler is open, and then I open IE but nothing happends in Fiddler. It isn't capturing anything :/

Firewall and virus scanners are off
Using IE 7

Anyone knows what could be wrong? No matches on google either.

i thought somthing like thi swas posted not too long ago. but it didn't work, since this works i will rep you... even if you didn't get the gold.
