If you've been reading the official forums, there is a way to view the number and type of affixes on unid items that have been popular to sell in the /trade channel. DO NOT BUY THEM.
There is a method in the linking of the item in game that will allow the player to see the codes, then apply that list of codes to the affix list on the links below (LINKS REMOVED) that will tell the player how many, and what affixes are on the unid'd item. If it's good, it's kept. If it's not, it's sold to some unwary buyer in trade. Otherwise known as scammed.
I found this out about 3 weeks or so ago and I was like um WTF then I took a look closer I was like lol um holly shit! I can see what these items could be.. GG Bliz unfinished product.
Why people would buy unid items to begin with is beyond what my brain can comprehend.
Let me help you out since your brain cant comprehend much:
I buy unidentified weps all the time for 250k, say I buy 40 and invest a cool 10m, after identifying them all I ALWAYS make back my 10m. Most of the time I make atleast 20m, on good days 1 of those weps is worth 100m+.

Tons of people buy scratch cards at gas stations whats the difference? At least this way you only lose gold and not real money when your item sucks. But you can get rich. I bought an ammy for 400k and it sold for 12 mil. But this was before everyone knew how to ID there items without actually iDing them.
They should make a post about it in the main page while they settle this. If such information can be blocked from access, they could do it, otherwise they should just let everyone know that if they're buying un-id'ed items they could get scammed.
rofl, this has been around for... well awhile. Just someone found out and started spreading it. it's the "WARNING" threads that started filling people in lol.

just buy from people you trust
"A while" = launch of D3. Probably worked in beta too, but I didn't notice it until a little bit after launch when I accidentally broke an item. I didn't learn about all the actual item stats until today, though. (I guess people used Mooege to get a list of all the affixes' values, which is something I haven't messed with, at all.)

No doubt, but knowing how to do it, and what the list of codes meant hasn't been revealed to the majority of D3 players till now.
But it won't stop people hoarding the junk un'id items and saving them for a couple weeks to unload when people think it's over.
That is the worst fix imaginable.
Fixed your fix.
people found out about it from linking made up items (which blizzard fixed already). the process to link made up items revealed this exploit.
Sneaky hackers. I have been selling UNIDs but had no idea about this, I'm sure prices are going to go way down and stay down after they fix it..
