Still scamming. It's not about what the other guy knows/doesn't know, it's what you actively are trying to do with YOUR knowledge. If you're actively misrepresenting what you KNOW to be the price of the item, you just scammed a guy. How does the other person's knowledge have bearing on YOUR knowledge and choices of what to do with it?
If someone was like "I'll sell this for 3 mil," and i knew it was worth 6 I'd tell him. But yeah, most people wouldnt, and I was never really good at FM and I always sold through a store. But then, I am horrible wiht money in general. I gave away I think 5 billion mesos over my time on Maple, and most of that was when mesos were worth quite a bit. In any case, helping people without wanting stuff in return is a much different reward than having 60 billion mesos, and I gained the respect of many good people that way, so I have no regrets. Many people will use you if you're like that, but there was a small handful that didn't, and one year after I quit Maple they're STILL with me. Think about that.
