This is story of what happens when you show a little trust and think there are honest people that play PSO. Before you go on, I know I made an error in judgement and I asked for what I got.
This is about a trade I was working on in another forum that went bad. The other PSO player, skatemonkey (his character name was KO-TO-GO) told me he had 2 DBs Swords and all the Weapons Badges I needed (yes I know they are hacked). He sends me an Instant Message telling me that he wants weapons with high hit %-to be specific the Red Mechguns, Red Handgun, Red Saber, Yamigarusa, and Kamui. We further agree that he will give me all the items on my list if I give him more high hit % weapons. This is where I should have known better...he tells me that he gets FSOD when he does the trade window and we need to drop the items. I told him my concerns, but in the end I agreed (like an idiot). He then tells me to make sure I drop the 5 items he wants most in the first batch (this made me even more leery, but again I agreed). So we both meet at Cel 5 and commense to drop 15 items a piece. Not being totally sure of what to expect, I drop 15 high hit % items and only one of them being an item he wanted (the Kamui). I go to the pile he dropped and there is nothing I needed - not one item. Sure there were two DBs Swords, but they weren't even the models I requested. He gave me a bunch of Section ID cards, 2 DBs Swords I already had, a plain White Sato which I have, and a King's Vulcan +5 with no percents. So I ask him where the items are I needed. He says they are on another character (he didn't even bring the items he said he had...lol) and he's just giving me those items. He asks how come I didn't drop everything he requested (duh). I then start showing him the items in the trade window to prove I have them. He doesn't show me one item I need, but keeps swearing he has them on his other character and he'll get them as soon as I give him all the items he needs. So I'm like WTF, the only thing I have to lose are the items he's not going to give me. I proceed to drop all the items he requested excluding the Red Saber which I honestly forgot to tranfer over. I tell him to let me go grab it and also tell him that I don't like what's going on. So I get offline to transfer I and he tells me he had the DBs Swords all along and I better hurry back if I want them. I finish tranferring the Red Saber and head back to Cel 5. I enter the room only to run through the pile of the same weapons he just left on the ground that I didn't need to begin with. Just as I get to the pile he picks everything up and say, "I'm out." Okay, now i'm pi$$ed. I commence to berating him on IM about how one person can ruin it for everyone and how I put my trust in him and he just screwed me. Yes-I did leave with 15 items he dropped, and no-I didn't need one of them. He, however, left with 18 weapons with high hit % including four he specifically requested.
Yes I know I'm an idiot and I did what I tell everybody not to do, but I just wanted everyone to know who not to trade with.
DO NOT DROP ITEMS FOR ANY REASON!!!
