I have no idea if this is common or not, because I've been stuck on this tree in Aldan for sometime now, and I haven't left it. But this is probably really similar to the "Rare items for an unrare item."

Anyways, so one person would have an item that really isn't common or that you wouldn't see around on peoples trade list, for example... :clicks "Random Page":... an Acorn Hat.

So they would put it on a trade list, then, someone else, an accomplice, would scream "OMG, THEY HAVE AN ACORN HAT!! CAN I PLEASE HAVE IT?!?!?!1?"

They would ask, "What's you offer?" It obvious if its fake when they offer things that they clearly don't have, but if they actually do have rare things, like Headdresses or spikes....

Actually, it'll still look fake. But anyways, the accomplice will trade them, the person with the Acorn Hat will decline. Then they expect other people to be provoked to trade them rare items for this really unrare one.

Also, I have been scammed by the second one before, because I have never heard of that scam tactic. The person used Blue Glossies, so they managed to make me overtrade for them, I gave a Black Long. At least I got a Blue Long back. :l
