Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Made a thread obviously targeting newbies to buy jox boxes for them for 80g a piece... when LAH is ~250g

I get your point and that of those in the thread are objecting; especially given the hyperbolically generous tone, it does seem predatory.

But it's also worth noting that the user is effectively paying a combined 160~g (they pay the initial 80kt cost and then 80g for the chest - also, I don't know when exactly the ratio went back down, but yay for the return of easy math!). And if a given user really has no ability/inclination to earn the initial 80kt for themselves (as strange as that sounds to me, who's been autopiloting through G&G nearly every day for years), I guess they are indeed coming out 80g ahead of where they would have been otherwise.

Including a PSA in their post about the real LAH couldn't hurt, though. Or an alternate offer: "Okay, I'll send you the 80kt to buy a chest for me. Then I'll pay you an additional 80kt for it...which you can put in your vault until next month, and then use to spend to buy another crate to flip for a bigger profit."

I would be fine with it if they were upfront about this but somehow I don't think they would get as much business lol

You are being way more generous to this person than they deserve. Maybe try being generous to the people they're trying to scam instead.

Thanks, I didn't want to try and archive it on my laggy ass phone.

I see she edited out the part where she tagged 3 people. Lmao. I guess even she realises that would be an easy ding for harassment.

Fieryblood's edit: they pinged like 5 specific people to that post btw

[(Anonymous)]

oh, I just want to point out that Fieryblood here pinged like 5 people to see their post, but they hastily edited the pings out by the time the wayback machine captured the thread. damn it lol

It's beautifully ironic because personally pinging all those people to your post is kind of like "calling out" in itself. Way to go, Fieryblood! :)

Re: Finder77

Mahogi is annoying af too and i want to say something in this thread but idk how to respond to their post. bad faith trades are obviously disallowed but idk how to explain that this is one (not for Mahogi, who is also obviously a shill lol) but for any newbies who see this thread.

Mahogi is a notorious scammer on DV and underpays/lies about KS/Alpha/Beta prices by over half

Re: Finder77

Hmmm. Mahogi, another person on Finder77's friendslist, joins the battle.

Re: Finder77

Re: Finder77

This situation inspired me to make a thread for actually helping people who don't have enough on hand to buy their Joxbox. If you need some assistance to afford yours, hmu!
