oh... yeah, i was just in awe that the guy showed up to defend himself... well, I understand how he acted in bad faith, but now I understand what he said with merched. and to "flip" is considered a bad thing? isn't it somewhat alright? not in this case, but a legit trade?
Glad you have a better understanding:)
And to answer your question, no, there’s nothing wrong with flipping, in fact a lot of the trades done on d2r involve buying at one price, and seeing opportunities elsewhere to trade for a different item and selling that item for a higher price paid for.
For an example, buying 2x ist runes on jsp, then trading it in game for a shako, then selling the shako for 800fg which could yield to a 200fg flip. Or even just buying a bulk deal of 10x ist runes for 250fg per and flipping each one for 300fg.
However, this wasn’t a case, this was a user buying a ber rune for 3.8fg and not 3.8kfg as intended, a lot of user’s are new, and other users try to exploit that and take advantage of technicalities such as 3.8fg vs 3.8kfg. No one will willingly sell a ber rune for 3.8fg when the going rate is 3.8k. That’s robbing, not flipping.
Hope this helps!
