Talk:Avoiding Scams/@comment-37547975-20181119143344/@comment-27144794-20190613234143

People trade because they need something that someone else dosent need, so if they give you an item you need and you give them money they need, its a win win scenario where everyone gets what they want.

Although, some dishonest people take advantage of this and only move themselves foward by stealing from others. The best way to avoid this is to buy something small, and if they dont scam you with that small purchase, then you can buy something bigger and more expensive.
