Explain to me the concept of buying a pin

Is buying a pin illegal?

Are you stealing from someone?

 

buying a pin from a sythe user or legitimatly from yer phone is not illegal/stealing, buying pins form piin lines though, is

 

so if i go to the pin selling area of the sythe forums, and buy a pin from someone, that is not illegal?

 

No it is not.

 

No, its not stealing. Basically you buy a months of membership without making a paypal account or using your credit card. Its a little easier imo, especially if you use a trusted person like Finn.

 

and its cheaper, right?

 

It is cheaper but imo most people steal them from other peoples phones so they can make a profit. Or they buy them from there phone and never pay for the pin so you end up in negative credit.

 

Ill stick to payal

 

Bullshit.
Just buy from a fairly trusted user and you should be fine.
It's not illegal.

 

As pointed out above, it's legal. The only thing it breaks is Jagex's TOS.

 

its way cheaper, therefore better

 

I also have a question about pins, and rather than starting a new thread, i figured i'd ask it here. Is it possible to check the validity of a pin without actually using it? Thanks guys.

 

I remember reading about it here ( not sure if works) if you put all the right information but the wrong country it will say wrong country or something like that (meaning the pin # is valid) but if it says like invalid pin or something then the pin does not work.

 

Alright, can anyone else confirm that?

 

Of course its illegal technically, you are buying a stolen product but you won't get in trouble for it only the pin seller would because you yourself have no idea that its stolen "technically".

 

Confirmed as I have done it before.
