Quoted from curban:Am I breaking buying etiquette?
We have this nice feature called the pin map. Is it okay to look for local owners of a machine you’d like to buy and ask if they’re interested in selling. Or is this a major faux pas?
Already started doing this...but will stop if this is a scumbag move.
It's perfectly acceptable.
What is super annoying is tracking people down out of the blue and ambushing them with a request to buy...and then complaining bitterly about the asking price.
If you are hunting a game down and making unsolicited requests to purchase, don't expect the best deal.
