Payaways: scam?

Stevil

If you do a payaway with warp food, and it's not fake, is it considered as scamming? Can someone say you can win pets and other special things, but actually give you noob hats? I was thinking about doing a payaway too, because it gets you a lot of c in a short time, but it's not really fair for the costumers.
What do you people think?

Just don't do Payaways in general. The more people do them the more others will...

Some players do payaways to to get rid of their junk hats and clear clothing storage; and in the process they make a quick buck or two (cubits).

When doing a pay-away, there's a difference between scamming, and having a legit one.
I personally don't feel that pay-aways are BAD persee.
(I've participated in a few of them myself.)

But it can spark some players to "over-take" a situation and turn it into a scam.

However, payaways can come at a price.
Depending on how certain players go about hosting them.

- Hosting a payaway can be risky because some players will feel the need to assume it as a scam:
It can give you a bad name for an unnecessary reason.

- Being involved in a payaway is a gamble and you might not make much of a profit

It's essentially becomes trade, it's just not everyone's entitled to getting a hat that's less than/equal to the amount of cubits their putting in.

Not every payaway is a scam.
--->However, I don't feel like there should be a charge for 100-500+ on cubits for a hat giveaway when those hats aren't worth nearly as much. (20-50c.)

Seeing a payaway like that is what can make them look sketchy.

You could do pays ways just make it a cheap price for noobs and all that to make it seem fair

I saw a payaway with a police hat. He was asking for 500c but I somehow glitch jumped over a block that was very high..... And got the hat, the owner said give me back I'll report u so I did xD

Thats what was holding me back from hosting a payaway. I recently saw a friend do one, but the price for the entry was way higher than the items were worth.
Since then I didn't tp to that friend anymore.
