Ok - so you're lending out an item. You complete to lend and get your money. Then ... the loaner says ... 'omg! i can't wield! i want my muney back!' ... :wall:

 

 

 

What do you do?

 

 

 

I admit to being a bit dumb - I return the money ... There is something rather gut wrenching about the lil' guy in full rune, chocatrice cape being followed by a (usually brown) kitten having a hissy fit about his gps .. Yes, I end up the loser no monies and no item to lend but at least I am at ease with my conscience. I had one guy call me a scammer once because he couldn't wield the whip I was lending him! .. #-o

 

 

 

Anyways .. what do you do?

I usually don't take money for lending out stuff.

 

Usually ends up both of us laughing at we didn't check to see if they could wield :D

Never happened, but I honestly don't know what I would do.

yeah i don't accept money for lending stuff but if i did i'd return it, trade restrictions willing

I don't lend out my items.

 

 

 

No lending = no whining.

No lending = no whining.

 

 

 

mmm ... my new motto I think.

It's their own fault for not checking if they could wield that item or not. I was once called a scammer for lending out dragon claws 12 hours 400k. I've also had people refuse a loan because they didn't like the junk (mind runes) I was offering... They're agreeing to borrow my item for x hours. They should be willing to pay the fee, regardless of the type of junk items that I'm offering. It wouldn't be paying to borrow an item if they could just dump it in the GE and sell it quickly... I always lend items to my friends for free, though.

Minds actually even sell on GE.

Honestly, I'd say tough luck. A few thousand gold is a more than fair price to pay for the lesson of THINKING before ACTING.

Minds actually even sell on GE.

 

It takes a couple hours to sell like, 500.

My motto is that lending is encouraging more reckless behavior in Runescape. Before lending, you'd sure as hell check an item before you bought it, to make sure there wasn't some obvious or obscure requirement to use it.

 

 

 

Now, people just plop down 60k for a couple hours on a whip, then cry because they can't wield it. Actually, this gives me an idea. See you at the Tip.It Times!

A lot more people buy them now since MA. They're one of the best things to buy for MA.

Well I rarely lend anything in the first place, but if I were ever to stumble upon someone who traded without checking requirements, I'd probably just leave them there to whine. My business is lending the item and earn money. Their business is to provide the money for desired item. I've already satisfied my end of the deal, why should I go an extra mile to make him happy?

A little red transparent box shows around the item in the trade screen if they can't wield it or wear it....... #-o. But then again, depending how nice they are about it I would probably give the money back.

i lend them an item for free which they can use.

I havnt had this problem, but, Id never give their money back. Its like if they purchased the item before the "GE item lookup" that tells you if you can wield it or not. If they cant do their research, its their fault.

Sounds like you are easy manipulated by nobos..

IF I were to lend out any items, and the borrower would complain because he or she couldn't wield the item.. then I'd say that's not my problem. That person willingly gave me money in order to lend that particular item. It's not my responsibility to check whether he or she is able to wield the item. I'd most likely tell them to gtfo. I'm not here to cater the idiots.

ill check the highscores to see if they're lying and if they're not, i'll give them their money back.

Call them a moron and walk away. #-o

I don't lend items, never have never will, I usually get abuse when I don't when I was going for 99 slayer I got a "SAD NERD" thing was I was slaying in that gear, I think it was alot better when people actually earned their own weapons/armours etc.

Firstly, I rarely accept money for an item.

 

But if I did, and they couldn't weild it... depends on how they act. That is a pretty [bleep]ing stupid thing to do.

I would laugh at them then walk away.

first off all i would be pissed, because not only the person is wasting the lending time he is also wasting the usefullness of the item, i could have giving it to someone who could use it for time being, secondly if i asked for money hell no i am not giving it back your fault for not being able to weild

If it was someone i knew a bit, then I woudl certainly give it back. But if I didn't know them, then no way, because I can't garuntee they CAN'T (bar highscores) wield it... and I can't garuntee that they dropped it. So in effect I'm out, and they could easily get the item and the money.
