Gift box on market - scam or no?

Postby zengler » Wed Jan 15, 2025 10:16 pm

Hello.

Is it safe to buy coins in gift box on market at barter stand? It says 150 coins for one token. But is it real describe or man just wrote "150 coins" and inside will be 1 branch.

It's written by the person who sealed the giftbox. Sometimes it's a scam, but it's pretty rare. If it's a big market and you're spooked take a recording of buying it. The market owner will close that stall and give you your shit back.

The problem is that max stack of coins is 100 and barter stands can only sell you one item at a time, without the Gift Box workaround.

Like poster above explained, it boils down to whether you think you can trust the people running the market. Recording a video of the purchase realistically only helps if only the stand owner is a bad actor. Other than being able to more easily convince others that the market is a scam, naturally.
