I'm afraid Stallowned's sticky thread for reporting and posting scammers IGN's has dissapared, looks like the mods cleaned out SRF's closet and took away some un-used stickys :(

OT: Sucks man, i feel for you but also it is one of the most basic things in SRO is to never trade through exchange unless you know the person very well enough for them not to scam your ass. NEVER buy or sell through exchange with a total stranger.

How is that the only way? You can certainly put your SOS set in a stall. Set a price for each item and sell it.

OR

If you are going to babysit your stall, set the price to 1 gold each (or 999,203,553) and DO NOT open the stall. Just leave a note in the "Welcome message" telling visiters to leave offers for everything. You can greet people when they come in the stall too if you are not afk.

You don't have to babysit the stall this way, but you won't be able to negotiate price until you get back (and hope the player is still online when you PM them).

There's nothing wrong with selling true exchange IF you are carefull.
I've never been scammed that way (or atleast it didn't succeed).
Only press approve once and don't press for the second time untill the other has done it too. And double check everything before you press for the second time.

Not getting scammed (true exchange) needs time. If a deal is too good to be true, it most probably is.
