*Check on EVE-Central to see what the item is selling for across New Eden. In this example you'd see a lot of 1B ISK sellers. You'll only do this if you were already suspicious, though so it's verification, not a clue.

<u>How to scam the scammer</u>
*If the scammer is a noob, they won't recognize that the scam relies on Margin Trading, which takes 4 days to train from scratch to level 1 (including Trade and Accounting). So if you see the drunken buy orders from a char that is 3 days old or less, then the order will actually fill reliably. Oops.
*Scam 2 relies on the low-ball bid being the next best buy order after the drunken buy order. If you then put in a buy order for 200,000,000.01 ISK, you can buy items at below market value.
