What would YOU do? An EU ethical question...

[Helius]

I'd buy the Mod Fap (or ML-35 Mentor Edition) from the guy at the ridiculously low price. Give it to Knuckles and let him skill FAP and Dodge on Drones (or Rifle/BLP), I'd skill with it myself and use it in PvP a few times (hopefully for LG). Then I would mentor the noob until graduation and have him join our Cadets society. About a month into the society I would tell him he has a very valuable item, and help him sell it. Then I would guide him through buying other Uber items and chipping the skills needed to join BAHQ. From that point I would guide him along the path of a true... Jedi...err...I mean BAHQ member and EU player.

Of course I'd tell him/her how much it's worth, but I wouldn't buy one myself though, at least not at this stage.

a fool and his money are soon parted.

Ain't that the truth!

I'd probably set up a business deal with him letting him know he was asking too low for it marketwise and using that as leverage for a slightly better price than market. I'd then proceed to gun him down with it in PVP everytime I saw him from that point on if I had to pay full market for it. If he gave me a deal I'd probably protect him....probably.

I would tell them, you can probably get more for it from somebody else, but if you really want to sell it to me, I will buy it. That way, they have to think about it themselves.

 

[Ludvig|MindArk]

I would tell him what it's worth and then add him to friends list, help him sell it and hope that he would give me a small amount of the price lol

 

[Wistrel]

I went for real value tell but also:

"Make the trade in PvP3, pay him in Animal Oil, and kill him with his own gun and loot him"

not cause I'd do it but cause I thought it was funny

 

[Legion]

i'd buy it for the 1% and add him to my flist, then i'd resell it and tell him he made a really bad deal but as i'm so nice i will give him part of my profit

Reputation is priceless

Money is replaceable, and fairly easy to earn IRL. However, inside Entropia or IRL, reputation is priceless. Bad reputation can follow you either direction.

A line I heard from the series about Company C from WWII goes something like this:
"You should never allow yourself the opportunity to take advantage of your men."

For the record, here are the Web sites that every Entropian should use:
EntropiaUniverse.com
Entropedia.info
EntropiaForum.com
EntropiaTools.com
PEAuction.com

1% of 35000 peds= 350 peds

I dont have 350 peds.. I would have to sell my karma killer.. by the time i sell my karma killer for 350 peds.. he's probably already sold the item to someone else.

If I had 350 peds.. I would rush immediately to the tt and get more ammo, because I don't really take notice of ppl shouting stuff on the street.

If i had 350 peds and I took notice of what he was offering, I would probably think he was a scammer.. and get more ammo instead.

Necro-bump because I'm bored today.
