I'm going to disagree with you there. If some newbie who doesn't yet grasp the concept of rarities offers me a zebra, I would most definitely say no. It isn't cool to take advantage of people, ever, and I'm not quite sure why you're flaunting that.

No difference, and none of it's okay. Just because lots of people aren't going to stop doing it doesn't make it "okay" on any level. If five billion people believe a lie, it's still a lie. The only reason you're getting called out is because you made it public. Most ninja traders AND scammers (edited in light of Kaya's post) keep their mouth shut about that sort of thing to keep from getting a bad rep.
Now, I don't know you all that well, so I'm not denying that you're good with trades--if you're a good bargainer, then that's great, we could all use that. But if your "skill" is ripping off new people and you're proud of that, then that's seriously not cool and you need to stop.
