Simply the second, you exchange IGN in pm and ask your buyer to provide 1-4 random rare items depending on amount exhanged then proceed to invite each other in game and do the trade without even saying hello
Also I wouldn't trade more than 200 ex per trade window, if you want to do 600 I'd do it with coast dropping + party leaving but you should have a trusted buyer in that case cuz while you can screenshot the accepted trade window with the ign (that's in the PM also obv.) you can't do much vs exalts on the ground

saw others doing the fake listing & pming but it always been too much hassle for me and it yet to be proven to be more safe

Avoid ANY mention of JSP or FG when trading in PoE. Always try to either remain silent or at the very least make it seem like a real trade.

like "Hey, it's jeff from discord. You still need the amulet? 400ex"

and then put some 6 x t6 corrupted shit amulet with lowest possible rolls in trade window

Coast dropping refers to joining a party, going to act 1, leaving the party, and dropping all of the ex on the ground from the sound of things right?

This method is not that much safer. It may be harder to track since theres no trade between players i guess but its easier to ban for if GGG suspects you in the first place, since its obvious youre just giving the other guy stuff rather than at least some guise of a trade. Each item has a unique ID that can be tracked regardless of how items move. Its also harder to safely screenshot since you need a time delay between when you have the items, drop the items and before the other person takes them to prove you dropped anything. And its slower than a trade since you cant auto-move items to the ground like you can the trade window.

Unless theres a bot that does this i don't see the advantage...

It’s pretty easy to write an ahk script that presses an xy value (1 slot in your inv) then presses xy again outside of you inv and repeats 12x5 times, moving the xy coordinates by a given value needed for the next inv box respectively, other than that I agree with you

you think GGG actually plays their game and knows prices?

but but but they have their 1000+ hours testers ! it always sparks joy when they mention those !

They will claim up and down that they do. But they dont know shit. They hire real players as ringers and pay them in microtransaction points too look tough.

1k hours was how long ago? I bet chris still doesnt have 1k.
