Skill's Anti Scamming Trading Post
Hello all, I decided I would help people trade without them getting scammed. This works by having a third trusted player be the person managing the trade. Feel free to use this idea and do it yourself. Just keep in mind who this third person is. Here's how it works. 1.Both players that want to trade both pm me the deal they agreed on. they both need to say the same thing or I wont start the trade. I log this information so I don't screw up. 2. They each give me their end of the deal by inviting me to their house and dropping it. 3. after both give me the item I then go and deliver the items to each player. If anyone logs out or if for some reason someone refuses I return the items to the original owners. 4.After the trade is complete please post what happened here so people have proof that I'm not scamming. 5.I don't charge anything, but tips are accepted

I use to act as a middle man for players before I was hired. It probably is the safest way to trade. Just get a middle man who you know couldnt afford to ruin there reputation.

Skill is trustworthy enough, and we'll all hear about it if he does a middleman scam.

I love how half of you just assume the thread is a scam. I personally think this is a great idea. I wouldn't mind MMing a couple trades as well.

Watch. Someone will do a few minor ones. Gain trust. Then someone's going to trade umbrella for taser and he will keep them both. It's a fantastic plot >=] I'd do it. Sadly I don't like being annoyed with "watch me trade" pm's nor do i trade myself so someone do it

When I made this thread I was pretty certain people would assume I'm scamming :/ not really sure what I can do to prove I'm not.
