Do you think I got scammed out of a Zhelm?

Any time you are going to be dealing with a group of people killing a monster to complete a transaction, you should look into it. Find out if anyone has ever had any problems, try to contact a good 5-10 credible people who have been successfully helmed, and make sure they have a good attitude.

I would never just smega out of the blue like that. :/ I think you got scammed, ESPECIALLY when the price changes like that.
