The outfit of a millionaire?!

[Soulpieced]

Now I'm sorry, but I've always felt Gzinta was a serious idiot. Paying people or even just making them say they received more than they really did while getting ripped off by his mystery trash. And wearing garbage equipment like this doesn't make me change my mind that he's a pathetic liar who will never amount to anything. Unfortunately there will always be people who swear that he's rich and sells "legitimate" mystery items.



You see Gzinta.
He appears to be a Half-Elf Pariah from Highmount.
He appears to be wizened with age and tall. He has piercing crystal blue eyes and tanned skin. He has shoulder length, black hair with a white streak running through it. He has an angular face, a classical nose and a neatly-trimmed beard.
He has a small lockpick tattoo on his finger, and a skeleton key tattoo on his finger.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a ruby lockpick pendant suspended from a simple gold chain, a dirt-covered sack, a heavy backpack, an onyx-inlaid black leather scabbard, a voluminous black stalking cloak, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a white mithril shield, some black double leather, a crystal amulet, and a wide gold ring.

Gzinta says, "tell everyone the note was for 4m and I'll give you 250k back"

That was after he sold a mystery note worth 400k to someone for like 2m. Fear the mithril.

People who fall for the mystery item sales should be killed. I used to get irritated by the sellers.. but it really is the buyer's fault. They are too stupid to have silvers..

I agree the people who bid on mystery containers or items are too stupid to have silver

[HappyGuyJr]

I've always enjoyed heckling mystery auctions :lol:

I like bidding Mystery Notes, bidding too much and then not paying, or simply debunking the "great items" they are supposedly selling.

Heh.. its funny, as staff usually backs me, and on the rare occasion violence broke out they made it plain that the death was their own fault and there would be ZERO sympathy for their plight. :)

Ahhh.. the good 'ol days

Gzinta oh I forgot about him. He would have been #1 on my snert list. I know what you're saying is true because I personally know quite a few people he's ripped off and paid to lie. It's stupid. If it had happened to me, and he paid me to lie. I'd say yeah sure I'll lie for ya. Take the money and then publicly announce what he did.

[Artha]

He wasn't as bad as Keenan. He scammed lots of people with his box game.

[Edaarin]

You mean Khenan?

A few years ago, Opalflame and I and a few other people offered to pool our money together and buy all his boxes to see if they really had what he claimed. For some reason, he declined. Hmmm. I wonder why.

[Artha]

Khenan's the one. He had a few items that he advertised, but he sold those away to his friends at the end, and they gave them back. He sold his crap boxes, that had things like crystal amulets in them, to anyone else.

[SpunGirl]

I think mystery sacks, boxes, et cetera, are funny, and I bid on them sometimes. Of course, I don't whine and cry when they don't have uber-anything in them. Usually they have a few pieces of interesting fluff I might keep, and crap.

One guy sold me a mystery bag once for 40k that had nothing but box-found items in it. After deciding I didn't want any of them to keep, I went straight to the gem shop and sold all of them. For over 75k. Haha.

[Neildo]

I used to sell legit mystery notes/alters and play hide-'n-go-seek games in town over the net where the first person who found me won 500k-1M. *sobs* Damn scammers.

[Solkern]

I frogot..but who use to do those badass mystery auctions? i made like 25m total..from those things...anyone remember who use to host them?

[Warriorbird]

I do averageish ones. Folks typically wind up with a less exciting alter for about 250k or so. Its a way for me to get rid of slow selling stuff and often they're even happy about it.

[AnticorRifling]

I hardly sell anything, let alone mysteries. The one mystery item I sold I made a killing on. It was a one of those rune-etched dwarven scimitars the weighted ones. My mystery sale went like this;

Selling a semi-mystery weapon. It's one handed edged, dwarven made, rune etched, has two enchantments and weighting. I'll start the bidding at 250k

Now normally the scim went for 500k and the 2x rune-etched dwarven broadswords went for a mil. People thought I was talking about a broadsword so they bid it up to 1.1mil so I pulled 600k over current market value on the item.

Other than that I normal sell things for what I bought them for or I give them away. It's the main reason I can't ever afford new gear. I'm a terrible merchant. :cool:

[Pallon]

No one was buying the armor I was selling at three in the morning with 400 people on, so I tried to unload it as a mystery item for laughs. This seemed to severely agitate this one guy on the net. I sold it after telling the buyer what he was getting anyway

[Methais]

<<I used to get irritated by the sellers.. but it really is the buyer's fault. They are too stupid to have silvers..>>

Oh they get even dumber than that. I can't count how many millions I've made doing an "honest" auction yet people assumed it was a mystery sale anyway. Two examples are....

You [subdued]: Selling a backpack full of worthless garbage. Buyout is 10 million silvers. Minimum bid is 1 coin.

Of course the backpack is full of worthless garbage, usually arm greaves and light leather and other things along those lines.

My other one goes like this...

You [subdued]: Selling a backpack. Buyout is 8 million silvers. Minimum bid is 1 coin.

Then I run to the General Store in TSSE, buy "a backpack" for 100 coins, and of course the high bidder gets it.

And despite me saying on the net during the auction that I don't sell mystery items, people keep bidding anyway, and some even have the nerve to say I lied and/or scammed them afterwards, when they really get EXACTLY what I advertised. I assume the GameHost just farted on him.

One guy even reported and assisted over it, saying I scammed him cause I sold him "a backpack" with nothing in it, when I advertised it as "a backpack" and nothing else. Some guy the other day bought one too and then said "Note to self: Don't trust Methais." I can't help but ask "Why? I was completely honest about the whole thing."

The strange part is some of them even say there were some incredible items in their backpack for some reason. And others bid even when they already know they're not getting anything out of it. Violenttmoon bought "a backpack" from me for 1m once and she knew there was nothing in it.

Even after this post, people will continue to buy them too, even if everybody in GS reads it.

This is why I like the Landing so much ;)
