What do you do? Borrowers who can't wield.

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.

 

 

 

What do you mean "they dropped it?" You can't drop lent items.

If they drop it and it's a timed lend you still won't get the item back.

If they payed for something they can't use, tough [cabbage] on their part. They need to learn to do research before doing reckless things like that.

I usually don't lend items to strangers, recently been declining requests from friends also, but hell, if someone pays me to borrow an item they can't even use, it's not like I have to suddenly start being compassionate just because they can't do a simple research before the trade. Their loss, not mine. There won't be any regrets, sympathy nor refund.

I don't borrow out items as I'm never in the GE except for a brief moment.

You two both entered into an agreement and you both got what you wanted. It's too bad he didn't know what it was he wanted. He'll learn his lesson.

I wouldn't give the money back. My end of the bargain was to lend you a whip. What you DO with that whip is none of my business, so long as you have it and I have your money.

 

 

 

Now if someone asked me the level requirements and I said 70 and they said they can't wield it, then I'd understand. But if you're going into a lending deal where you don't know the requirements to wield said item, then you're just stupid and kind of deserve to have the money taken.

 

 

 

I don't know. Maybe I don't have a large heart when it comes to people being reckless.

I only usually lend things to friends for free (which is good to them because I am notably richer than most of my friends). But if I did lend things out to people for money then I wouldn't give them back the money. They should know full well what they will need to use the item and if they don't they shouldn't have payed for it. Not my problem because they're stupidly doing the stupid thing that stupid people do.

It's buyer or in this case borrower beware. If they are dumb enough to pay money for a lent item they can't wield simply because they didn't look in the large and detailed in game guides then they deserve to lose a few gp.

 

 

 

I honestly remember back when the Attack guide only showed bronze through dragon daggers as level requirements.

id say that its their fault for not checking the reqs, and procede to walk away with their money. if they are gonna take my gs for no good reason they had better pay me to do it

I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"

I normally lend items for free, always free to friends. I don't know why people don't lend items though, if they aren't using, or will not be using. Sometimes you just need a specialized tool for a job, like a z spear for waterfiends or SGS for DKS. If they can't use it, too bad.

I usually don't take money for lending, but if I did and someone couldn't wield it, too bad. They're an idiot for asking.
