Nephilim Misleading Herb Buyer – Stack by Stack Scam

This is legitimately how unid purchasing has always worked and it’s not a scam - it’s the buyer only wanting to buy the herbs which will be useful for them, and is actually an anti-scam technique. I’m sorry if you aren’t familiar with this aspect of 2004 RS, but this is seriously correct and normal.

the buying is using this method to try and buy the herbs he wants cheaper ofc its a scam and time waster

yeah bro if you sell in stacks of 11 you sell them in even stacks in bulk so the price averages out. You don’t preload 500 junk herbs and then 5-10 high level herbs and wonder why people won’t pay 800ea for your crappy herbs. Obviously it cuts both ways. Nihao was fixated on “no you buy all” … I refused. Simple as that. The previous seller had more even stacks and I bought all of them. Happy to buy lowers in bulk as well but obviously the bulk price would be lower for them (typically around 500ea). Also had previously paid 1k ea for his ranarrs as opposed to 780ea which he sorta left out because his words were “I’m gonna make you pay 1k ea for my ranarrs” lol … so that was all fine. I’m open to negotiate on however sellers want to sell their unids, but obviously I wasn’t born yesterday.

In his screenshot you can easily see that I acknowledged that I had purchased his ranarrs (I paid 1k each as he requested for them). That sound like someone just trying to scam unids? Typically a scammer may say “Oh yeah I bought a random stack of unids idk what they were, ill pay 780 ea for them.”

And if you disagree with me, I’ve got 11 stacks of herbs I’d love to sell to you for 700 each. Cheers!

Nephilim did nothing wrong, poster is mad his scam didnt work and wants to cry about it in forums.

Some of you guys have a hard time with comprehension lol. This is my third time saying this: he agreed to buy all the stacks, then requested to buy ranarrs first. He bought the ranarrs, changed his mind to buying all stacks. Tell me, what’s the problem here? Don’t be stubborn guys lol

Exactly. Im surprised how people just dont understand this lol. Its simple elimination. It’s been said clearly above by someone else.

I was stupid enough to trust he would buy the full stack after agreeing to sell the ranarrs first, that’s my fault.

You coming in a trade thinking that I am scamming you by selling full stacks of herbs lol. And this is also coming from the guy who bought my ranarrs FIRST, securing your bag. I gave you the upperhand and you totally just took advantage of it. Would a scammer give you that upperhand? Fuck off with your victim shit and manipulation bro. I am so done with toxic people

you’re coming to the post saying that you’re a victim of being scammed, he didn’t scam you, he didn’t lure you, he bought your things. You said you gave him your ranarrs the means that you pressed “accept” 2 times, you could have just declined the trade.

if you don’t like selling your herbs for lower prices then go level your herblore level and clean them and get full price. simple solutions for simple problems

Bro dont tell me what to do lol the reason why im selling unids is because im training ranged, and herbs just come naturally to sell. You kids automatically victimize me and think I’m a scammer because I’m selling a full stack. Ya’ll all getting it wrong. Keep following your own agenda, you’re heading the wrong way

Pathetic and surface level honestly

Your case is different, dont even have to explain to you. read my post before commenting - you only add to the confusion

No one said I was “scammed.” I’m saying it was misleading and intentionally vague, which is still bad behavior even if it doesn’t break the game’s rules.

Yes, I clicked “accept” — after spending over 5 minutes getting there based on an incomplete trade offer. If someone leaves out important details and waits until you’re standing in front of them to change the terms, that’s not honest trading — that’s manipulation.

Just because he technically gave me gold doesn’t mean the way he went about it wasn’t shady. You can dress it up however you want, but wasting people’s time with bait-and-switch tactics is still garbage behavior.

You clearly didn’t even read the post — just saw the word “scam” in the title and instantly made up your mind. At no point did I say I got scammed. It’s honestly pathetic and surface level how quick some of you are to shut down valid criticism just because it doesn’t fit your narrow definition of a scam.

Try actually reading next time before rushing to defend bad etiquette.

it has been a few days, but the title of your post literally says he “Stack by Stack Scam” lol. its misinformation and misleading like I said you werent scammed, you agreed on a price for the herb and that was what was traded… tbh this thread should have been closed.

Wow, youre still here arguing over a title days later? Congrats. Must’ve taken real effort to ignore the entire point of the post just to repeat the same tired line.

You didnt even read the comment right above yours, did you? I literally addressed this already — word for word. But sure, go ahead and repeat the same tired point like it’s brand new.

At this point, you’re just proving mine and everyone else’s point — zero depth, no reading comprehension, and nothing better to do.

Again, cool story, but you didnt buy “11 even stacks” — you cherry-picked the ranarrs out of those stacks and ignored the rest. So let’s not pretend this was some clean bulk deal.

You never mentioned “stacks of 11” or any conditions in your post or PMs. That all came after I showed up. If you had just said that up front, none of this would’ve been an issue. Instead, you played the usual bait-and-switch and now you’re scrambling to justify it after getting called out.

And yeah, I did say “I’m gonna make you pay 1k for ranarrs” — because you were being shady, and I knew you’d cave once you realized I wasn’t stupid. Thanks for confirming that, I guess.

Keep spinning it however you want — it’s clear what happened.

I did say “I’m gonna make you pay 1k for ranarrs” — because you were being shady, and I wasn’t about to hand them over for your lowball tactics. 1k each isn’t some favor — it’s the average price, especially considering a clean one’s worth 3.5k.

Thanks for confirming you only took the valuable herbs and left the rest — kinda kills the whole “even stacks” excuse you’re leaning on.

lol you’re getting mad because i pointed out that you lied and said you got scammed, then acted like you never said that you got scammed? like i said, recommend deleting the whole post. all you are providing is misleading information and lies and then insulting other people for pointing out what say.

You’re still stuck on “scam” like it’s some gotcha — even after it’s been explained multiple times. At this point, your brain short-circuited after reading three letters, and you’ve been arguing with the title ever since.

It’s honestly embarrassing how deep you’re digging over something this shallow. This whole thing feels like explaining context to a 5-year-old — it’s just sad to watch.

  1. until i pointed out the title you continued to say you got scammed. btw the title is important as it is what is seen on the forums, imagine i go post right now that “nihaowdy is botting and trade scamming” and it wasn’t true, that would affect your gameplay and who would trade with you. ( youcan go back and read previous comments, there are a lot of people saying that you are in the wrong.)
  2. the only thing you have said since then is calling people low intelligence and children, which is shows sign of immaturity and unintelligence.
  3. if you don’t like how the game is played, osrs and rs3 do not have unids and there is a ge, so you won’t have to worry about more challenging gameplay elements.
  4. the buyer can’t have sniped ranarrs if it was the second trade and dipped (he would have had to go through every herb until then and not given you the opportunity to sell more), you could have very well continued to trade him and sold the rest of the herbs he was looking for at the agreed upon value.
  5. @mods, recommend this post be closed and deleted, OP has used it solely for the point of insulting people and badmouthing the seller “nephilim”
