USA [MOD] AI in Reddit - BE CAREFUL

72 Upvotes

We'll make this quick: Please do your due diligence when transacting here. Especially with the rise of AI, we're having to ban more and more accounts for scamming. Things you need to do:

  • Review our Avoiding Scams & Following Rules post.
  • Be especially diligent when transacting with 0- or low-transaction accounts
  • Request timestamps (especially on higher dollar items) that include things like video, different angles, or "unique" requests that really bring out the AI
  • Report fishy posts to the mods
  • Message the mods with proof if you've fallen victim

Thanks everyone for continuing to keep this a great place to share the appreciation for video games.

Totally Not a Scalper [MOD] Avoiding Scams & Following Rules

30 Upvotes

Hey! This thread is in the process of being updated to align with our most recent State Of The Sub Discussion - March 2024. Do note we will have a new state of the sub shortly.

Avoiding Scams & Following Rules

Whether you're new to the sub or are a long-time regular, we hope you've continued to enjoy your time here with us and have stayed safe.

Avoiding Scams

We've published an updated guide for Avoiding Scams. It includes choice tips and guidance for avoiding common scams and trading safely. You'll notice it's already linked in the sidebar, but we think mobile users are more likely to find it here.

Among these updates is a list of common scams we've seen reported by users. Following the sub rules is a great way to avoid known scammers and negative interactions with banned individuals, but we hope including more detailed examples of common scammer tactics might help you avoid falling for their sleazy tricks.

Also, remember to use the Universal Scammer List when vetting trade partners. It's not a guarantee, but it can save you a lot of time and trouble whenever you're dealing with known scammers.

Give the Avoiding Scams page a look and check back often. We'll be updating frequently to ensure you have as much info as you can to protect yourself against scammers.

Read the guide here: Avoiding Scams

Following Rules

r/GameSale's Rules are community sourced, and most were written to ensure a positive experience for as many users as possible. Likewise, many of these rules are structured to help you stay safe from known scammers.

Regardless of how long you've been using r/GameSale, we strongly suggest refreshing your knowledge of these rules.

Here's a brief overview of some of the more important ones:

  • Email Verification. This has been a requirement for participation in r/gamesale since 2022. While this isn't new news, we are including it in this updated version of this post as the last one was done in 2020.

  • Account Karma and Account Age. In addition to email verification, karma and account age requirements exist (We do not disclose the needed age of account or karma requirements). If your email is verified, that means you must be more active across reddit before you will be able to participate here. We do not condone the use of upvote subs to generate karma to bypass our requirements.

  • ONE THREAD every THREE DAYS. You must wait 72 hours before you may post again. If you need a post removed, please message the mod mail. Deleting posts looks suspicious, and will result in mod actions. Please reach out to us first.

  • Negotiations MUST be PUBLIC. If you're not negotiating in a public trade thread, you're breaking the rules. Move to PMs to exchange personal info after a deal has been settled. If someone jumps straight to your PMs, there's a good chance they're trying to scam you.

  • Sellers MUST PRICE their items. If you're selling something, you must price it. This goes for both top level posts and comment replies to a post. Even if you're just gauging another user's interest, you must price what you have. Encouraging bidding wars/price wars/fishing for better offers is against our rules and will result in a ban.

  • Items MUST be ON-HAND. You must have the game or system you are trying to sell in your possession. If you don't have it, don't list it.

  • A TEXT LIST of games is required in every thread. A photo is not enough. A Google Sheet or Doc is not enough. Your post must include a list of everything you're selling. For very large collections, the mods have discretion to waive this requirement. Ask us before you post, or it will be removed.

  • NO charging PayPal fees to buyers. You can't charge users extra if they want to use Goods & Services. It's against PayPal's terms of service and our rules. If you want to make back the money spent on PayPal fees, work that into the price of what you're selling up front.

  • NO sale-sniping. Don't butt in on other users' offers or negotiations. Unless 24 hours have passed or the other user outright declines, stay out of it. Try making your own thread if you're looking to buy or sell something.

  • NO Steam or digital PC items. While we allow the sale of physical PC items, Steam and digital PC codes are not allowed.

  • NO threadcrapping. If a user makes a bad offer, move on. Harassing users, white-knighting, and interrupting another users' negotiations with OP will result in mod action.

  • DBAD: Don't Be A Dick. Just don't.

This list isn't comprehensive. We suggest reading the full rules before you post or comment.

Stay safe out there!

Looking to buy a PS4 Pro or PS4 Slim. Feel free to send me your offers.

I'm looking for a fully functional console that powers on, reads discs (if applicable), connects to PSN, and isn't banned. It should include at least one controller, the power cable, and an HDMI cable.

Cosmetic condition doesn't have to be perfect, but I'd prefer a console that's been reasonably well taken care of. Minor scratches, scuffs, or normal signs of use are perfectly fine.

Shipping to Miami, FL. PayPal G&S only.

[US-CA][H] 30th Anniversary PS5 controller and Death Stranding 2 PS5 controller [W] PayPal G&S

2 Upvotes

Pictures of the controller and box in the comments section below

I have my used 30th Anniversary limited edition PS5 controller with no stick drift and all working buttons.

I also have my used Death Stranding 2: On the Beach limited edition PS5 controller, however, the right stick has some kind of severe stick drift or something else going on. When trying to look in-game with the R-stick, tilting it right makes it take a HARD left as an example to explain the issue with it.

I do not possess the knowledge or know-how to safely repair this so selling it anyways in case someone wants to fix it. Both come with their original box respectively.

$100 shipped OBO for the 30th Anniversary and $40 shipped for the Death Stranding 2 broken stick drift controller.

Both with PayPal G&S.
