Meh, also, watch out for tricks and "treats"
Guide To Safe Trading
--------------------------
1. Look Alikes
Ever seen something that looks like what your going for, but isnt what you want?
Example-
Bone [Melee]= Bone
Candy Cane= Candy Cane Food
[Rare] Giant Lollipop=Lolli Sword
Leprechaun Morph=Biting Elves
Shells=Ammo
2.Cover Up Quantities
Most people doing this, are experienced, and clever, they often stand next to the Item(s) (Mostly shells for that matter) saying something in all capital letters, to block out what's underneath.
Example-Trochus, Aerolata, Sanddollar, Starfish, Basically, shells in General.
3.Too Good to be true
Is the deal too good for what it's worth? Then likely, it's not. Certain people want different things, just know the "cost" before you trade, and remember admins WILL NOT bring your item back after a trade.
4. You First
Does the other trader want you to give them an item so they can "Test" it or anything? Likely, they want your item, and keep the on they have.
Planned takeover
If another person states "I want his item" and the other person has something in common via gang, look, stats, they could be working together to steal your items.
Remember, trade at your own consent, and stay safe, or don't trade at all.
