yep, i had that happen where the trade cancels..i couldnt' figure out why i couldn't accept a trade once, but realized it was cuz i had 100k in my account...since i'm not used to having cash on hand like that the person i was trading with asked me if i had 100k in my inventory..then i realized why the trade kept auto-cancelling...so, long story short - u got scammed...but curious why someone running around with a torment weapon would only have 28gp in their inventory unless you were clearing (cash) inventory space in preparation for the large sale...but anyway - sorry to read of your loss

caveat emptor...

If 100k was offered and he didn't have an empty invintory, the trade would have been cancelled.

Dude, calm down. No one is calling him a liar. Trades do cancel when you don't have room, weather it's money or items.

No, he made a mistake.

The most common mistake/scam in all of trading. He was offered 100g instead of 100k for an item, didn't read it carefully, and hit accpt. Not a game bug, just a mistake on the sellers part.

Not that he's a liar, per se, but that he was misled. He truly believes he saw what he saw. He's only telling the story through his own eyes.

And as far as I know, the trade should cancel. I think it's a matter to take up with Arenanet and have them look deeper into it to get the story.
