I just bought an IRD chip from Serenity, and the deal went smoothly (except for the fact she gave me a 0.96 chip and not a 0.99 one but I was ok with that). I usualy don't charge for the tool decaying 4 ped if the deal is ok. I told her to contact me if she would like to sell me more skills. Five minutes later I already got a pm from her asking me if I did want to buy 1k mining skills.
After some pm'ing back and forth we agreed on 8.4 ped for each pec the chip was filled. I gave her an example what she would get for a 0.50 ped chip (420 ped for the full chip - gsi = 325 ped). She agreed on that and I went to meet her.
The skills turned out to be on a different character with 0 peds or just any item on it. I refused to just give the gsi and the tool without an insurance, so she logged back with her main char and gave me 110 ped and I gave the gsi + tool to the other char when she relogged.
She chipped the mining skill and she was already sortof swearing the chipping took 200 mining skills. The chip turned out to be a 0.19 ped one and I was a bit worried about it, I just hoped I would break even on reselling the chip.
Serenity relogged and in the meantime I calculated what I owned her, wich turned out to be 174.6 ped for the chip and the tool (19 * 8.4 = 159.6, 159.6 - gsi = 64.6, 64.6 + insurance = 174.6). This would give me around 10 ped profit on reselling it wich is a lot lower profit margin I usually get, not really worth the effort.
She clearly was upset by the chip wich was filled for a very low % and was charging me 269.6 ped for the chip!! (meaning 159.6 + insurance). I don't know if she tried to scam me (she did accuse me of doing so), but finally we agreed on me giving the chip and the tool to her in the exchange for the insurance.
We discussed for 30 minutes more about it, but I could not convince her.
In the end she even tried to charge me 8 ped for the tool decay ... and that made me post this topic.
Here are a few screens of our discussion afterwards:
I hope I saved my reputation here, I'm a bit worried about that.
