I was buying claws for my secondary character for 1hs skills, and feeling rich and powerful for a lowbie after trading an N64 controller for a Golden Braceer(not sure real name, sold for 3500pp), I auctioned for some claws. I received a tell from a friendly and polite-sounding female wood elf rogue that she would sell a Sarnak Pitchatka to me for the low price of 300pp(tch!). I checked it out, and it seemed all right at the time, and i thought what the heck, I'm richer than King Tearis-Thex himself so I'll buy it. After the transaction, I received no less than three laughs and 4 smacks for her, as she repeatedly told me how stupid I was that I'd payed nearly twice as much as it was worth. Daunted, I grudgingly gave this to my secondary, and realize something:
It sucked! It didn't work with my character it had poor damage slow delay you name it. I really did realize it was worth half as much as I paid.
Be careful!
