Tips for Trading Let's admit it we have scammers on pimd. Players scam hunt items, dvp's, cat drops, and so much more. With this thread I'll give the most basic tips for trading. Tip 1 Trade with players you know Simple tips guys & the most effective way to make sure a trade will not end up with you being scammed. This player you trade with may be a friend or a member in your club. Note: Tip 1 is any players best option to trade safely. Below this point are tips players can use if dealing with players they do not know. Tip 2 Get the other player to trade/give the item 1st Doing this makes sure you have your item 1st . So definitely no worries about being scammed. Tip 3 Check on players walls for "trusted trader" posts This can help you know if someone is a legit trader or scammer. Look for many trusted trader posts not just a few. Tip 4 Trade with players around your stats If the trade goes bad and you are hurt because you DID NOT follow the Rules of Trade from 1-3... Well you can farm the scammer as they are to blame. Tip 5 Trades involving dvp and/or hypnocats Please look at Tip 2. Get the other player to give you the item before you give a dvp or drop a cat. Conclusion It's simple tips everyone. Know the value of your trade. If you think a person may scam you and you hold your items, money, or cats with value... trade smart people, don't be blindly ignorant. Just walk away from a trade if the other person will not let you follow the rules. Players may laugh at this at points. Many do work hard and spend time getting things. Granted, I know many will say "oh we have a stand off he/she said no I don't trade 1st." It is in your hands at that point. If you feel the need that you must have that trade... it's on you then. At any point in time you can take the risk & trade or just not trade. #TradeSmartNotStupid I would also like to thank Cherry for helping me with gifs & fixes on this thread.

Re: Guide Rules to Trading Can't stop laughing at the gifs def the last one. You made this great love ?
Re: Guide Rules to Trading What about the if the person buying the item is the scammed? Are you implying scamming is only one sided?
Re: Guide Rules to Trading When out smarting other players on trades just to get free items became cool.
Re: Guide Rules to Trading It goes both ways hun. Its why I also posted at the conclusion section about this. You may come to a stand still bcuz the other player doesn't want to send 1st. Ask yourself what value does that said item have to you. If you think the value is high get them to trade 1st. If they say no... 1) walk away with your item 2) take the risk & trade In the end it is up to you on how to trade safe. I only gave the basic steps to anyone who doesn't want to be scammed. Maybe just stay 100% safe & don't trade at all or only follow rule 1.
Re: Guide Rules to Trading Number 2 will lead to an impasse if both parties of a trade have read this guide first ? Still, valuable guide
Re: Guide Rules to Trading Lets say someone does this.... They'll never trade if they wait for the person to give it first.
Re: Guide Rules to Trading Also, scammers can get friends to write that they're a trusted trader on their wall.
