Okay well I got an idea today so basically I was at jintha and got a rare scroll drop and I found it on market for 6g so I put mine up and after auction was over the other scroll sold. So I thought to myself i'll put it up for 100g then log on another character and spam that I want to buy it for 175g so I did and some guy messaged me and said lemme check my bank n he said he had one I then replied with oh sorry a friend just told me he already has the scroll. I then logged out and logged on my main, boom 100g in my mailbox, could I get banned for outsmarting someone who's greedy like that? or "scamming" them? I talked to a few people and they said that even if he did find out he got scammed they wouldn't do anything. What do yall think?

The person who "checked his bank" bought the item off of the AH for 100g in hopes of selling it for 175.

If it was the +7 int to bracer enchant he didn't get that ripped off, people pay around 100g for that all the time on my server.
