Can I sell this here?

[Godforest]

Yes, I read the rules. I'm not sure if this constitutes "blackhat activity" though.

I want to sell an exploit in a site that allows you to get a $200+ item for $25, from a manufacturer.

It isn't really even an exploit, or a glitch. Just a mistake on their part, really.

Am I allowed to sell this here?

 

[Sanctuary]

I don't necessarily see why not. Try to PM a global/admin to find out for sure before trying to sell the "glitch".

 

[Godforest]

Nah, I don't want to bother anyone. I'll just leave this here till I get an official answer.

Thanks though.

I think that this wouldn't be allowed to be sold, because I have seen guides that 'exploit' loopholes locked. You are essentially committing a fraud.

It really isn't even a loophole. It's a mistake in the coding on their part, caused by human error of whoever set up the PayPal account.

All you do is click "Buy". It isn't a loophole ^_^

 

[Emperor Nero]

But you are still committing fraud by abusing it.

 

[Godforest]

I wouldn't think it's fraud, as you are paying the price they tell you to pay.

 

[Emperor Nero]

You can try, but abusing a system because of a mistake is wrong. Like I said guides that abuse systems have been locked in the past, like the one that abused a coding error in one of the WSO sites to get pretty much like $20 or more a minute some how.

 

[Oi IM A PUNK]

From what I seen in the guide sales, I dont think this is allowed, but I still suggest you to contact the OGV team.

 

[Laptop65]

That's fraud which is illegal, so I would say no it can't be sold here.

 

[kill dank]

I actually don't think it's fraud.

If I'm sellin you weed and I tell you it's $10/G, and you buy it, Then I decide I want to sell it for $20/G, I can't say you committed fraud because I told you it was $10.

Your example isn't even related. He is buying a product that is supposed to be $200+ for $25 by abusing their system. Your weed dealer analogy doesn't involve abusing a system.

 

[SuF]

I'd play it safe and say no.

People find ways within RS to glitch, doesn't mean its allowed within RS.

 

[Punjabi3]

Your still defrauding them... A relevant example is a banking machine if you find a way to get $200 from a bank machine by depositing $25 your exploiting a malfunction and by doing so putting the company at a loss, whether its a fault of theirs or not it is still fraud as you are illegally obtaining the money and selling a guide on how to defraud something is not allowed.

Yes it does, it was some high quality kush that anybody would know won't go for $10/g.


I'm saying, the fact that they wouldn't give it away for the price shown is wrong. Not that ripping them off is right.

So....was there ever an official answer to this?
