This is the cancer of steam. If I weren't such a lifeless loser I might have actually traded 15 dollars worth of skins for a tf2 inventory worth less than 1 dollar.
This was his inventory btw. At first he wants about 2 dollars worth of skins for it, which is a fucking steal for him and I was even willing to do it just because the skins he wanted at first were so cheap and I could scrap the shit out of his inventory, but then he went full blown scammer.
The killstreak kit in question was not worth 1 dollar like I was nice enough to assume, it was only worth 3 cents. The crate was worth 3 cents, the hat was worth 7 cents, and everything else was less than 1 cent.
It makes me mad that his profile is full of people saying shit like "+rep great trader"

What a fucking garbage thread kys reddit

Thank you, it's important to have criticism in your life
Anthony Sanders
Barely a scam
Just your typical beggar kid hoping he'll get a few bucks with the "well I didn't check/but ur so rich and im poor" excuse. Get a dozen of these every day
Makes me depressed that my responses to waste a maximum of their time while taking a minimum of my attention have become so practiced and automatic
Brandon Torres
What irked me was that he changed it from 2 dollars worth of skins from me, to 15 dollars just like that, and then after I broke it down to him how his inventory was worth less than a dollar, he just told me that both of our items are worthless to us so to just do it and comment "+rep" on his profile.

Some people are shitty retards.
I think video games as a hobby might have a greater percentage of these people than other hobbies / social scenes.
Isaiah Smith
Why give him the courtesy at all? Clearly he doesn't respect you (for lowballing is an insult) so why would you him
Jace Hall
Anyone else get those accounts friending you that are always; name is a bunch of numbers, 1 year account, 1.9 hours in dota 2, no other alias', no friends, no groups.
Alexander Wood
It's habitual for me to be extremely nice when trading. After I explained to him why his inventory wasn't worth anywhere near what he wanted from me, and he basically said "just accept the trade bitch", I wanted to tell him to go fuck himself, but I just didn't have it in me.
Never happened to me.
Brandon Anderson
I always hated people being overly nice. Sugary slyness you know. Like do they really think they're fooling me. You won't be making friends with them anyway, and a bit of aggression and going straight to the point lets you more control of the discussion.
Like the time I accidentally bullied a french guy into overpaying like $100 because I thought he was just trying to jerk me around. whoops
Blake Gonzalez
I used to get hit up by kids that wanted to scam me me out of my $1.28 skin
If you're scamming for $1.28 then you need to rethink your criminal life
Elijah Peterson
Why not just use steam market?
Ryan Smith
You can get overpay in keys through trading

This is why you ignore every friend invitation, so you don't have to deal with lowballing faggots.

Damn, a whole 2 dollars Thank god you did not fall for his incidious plot op

>tfw have loads of refined but nobody trades for low level shit anymore I put up an offer for a hat on one of these sites and didn't get a response for a month
Oliver Lopez
At that level it's all long been automated
Just use scrap.tf or warehouse.tf or whatever it is that people use to flip shit now
Alexander Clark
hey its me ur bro
Lucas Lewis
Giving someone a shitty deal =/= scamming them
He's still a cunt, but it's not scamming. I'd know, I made $900 in trading doing exactly what he did, and it wasn't considered scamming by most trading sites.
>go into tf2 server >see someone with an unusual who has a low amount of hours >offer him an item worth less than $2 for his unusual worth about $60 >he does it just because it looks cooler than his unusual
Know how to profit off of another person's stupidity. It's a doggy dog world.

Best way to avoid getting scammed is to not get involved in any of that.
