What he means is why not dupe something worth more, such as 50m or 100m.
If you read the topic on d2jsp you'd know
Apparently the method only works on certain items, and you can't do it with gems. The guy is on there right now bragging about it and selling the technique for 750m. People are uploading screens of themselves duping items.
Some1 is claiming a vendor can sell this bow in Act 2 a vendor from a random quest in Forgotten Oasis, still waiting for confirmation, haven't seen it myself.
So yeah... there's the item duping bug that happens on drops, which can only produce 2 of the same item, no more. Having 2 of the same item is meaningless.
This appears to be closer to legitimate duping though. We shall see...
There is a difference in the dupe BUG that happens when items drop which was supposed to be hotfixed. THIS is a lot more items as we can see. The ONLY thing that makes sense in my head is people rounding up 2-3 groups of bad affix champions and doing the kill all at once method. That seems like it would take a while though but I guess you get lucky and it pays off.
I wonder if it could possibly be that or something else. Maybe the double drop works for everyone in party?
I find it funny that apparently blizz knew about it for a month but has not done anything about it because they are afraid that it will piss people off when their items disappear because they are duped lol
Im just going to jump in on this thread, i have seen this happen in game by killing a health link pack all at the same time with 5 stacks of NV i got 5 rare rune swords drop of them and they all rolled the same stat, i believe this could be to do with that? Im not saying there is not duping going on. (the rune swords rolled shit stats, no damage multiplier).
Do you think it could be to do with that? I think i took a screen shot as well, i will see if i can find it later.
I've seen a similar glitch were the same exact BK ring dropped twice but about 10 seconds apart.
I recently had the same exact (stats and all) legendary helm drop from two consecutive mobs, all within 30 seconds. Same exact stats. It's probably just a fluke event but it seemed very interesting.
The game has glitched for me also. Killed one champ pack and a trash yellow dropped. Next mob I killed, the same trash yellow dropped. ID'ed them both and both had the same name and exact same stats including the same vendor value.
It only happened once and only to two items though. So it happening to eight items I guess *could* happen... just dont know the odds of it.
I think this might be the product of the glitch that has been going around; A lot of people have been reporting multiple of the same items dropping, down to the name and exact stats. It seems to be in rare cases but I don't think this is actually someone duping.
I've had this happen multiple times to me, but not in the last week. Same name of item, same stats, affixes, etc.
If you can actually dupe items, the amount of items sold on the AH will increase, it will make stuff sell for less as there are suddenly tons of items making you able to just skip the game ever easier and clearing Inferno all together by just buying duped shit on AH.
I'm still searching for that one single inclination to care.
And when those items are suddenly purged and you're left with nothing? Think beyond your own nose for once, will ya?
I feel bad for the people that think they are buying a legitimate item. There is this one instance where the guy posted 8 of them, but what about the others out there that only post one at a time? Legit players are gonna get screwed if they do purge out duped items.
If this is legit then I am done with D3 fail game is fail. Arn't we always online to prevent this bull shit? Blizzard has really gone down hill in the past few years.

I had this exact thing happen to me yesterday on a rare helm. Had one drop off a an elite pack and about 30 seconds later the exact helm dropped off a trash mob.
Did anyone check that link? That's pretty funny if that's how it'd happening. Just a good vendor deal and probably had a train of his friends buying the item?

video he posted in D2JSP when ppl claimed it wasn't duped
I hope this guy is trolling the thread, hes pretty lolz
First thread on it in the official forums is about to cap out, post now in what may be an epic thread lol.

Anyone care to see if they can reproduce this?

Huh... Thats disconcerting in a way if its true. I've found some good vendor items, but that bow would be nuts off a vendor. Especially for <80k,
