Now the unusual just became tradable and i went to ask him if i could now buy it for the sum we agreed, this was his response 'The TF2 Gamer: ooh sorry i accidently gave it to somone else i feel like a jackass'. Now admittedly, i was a little annoyed ( an understatement), but then i asked the following; byJooe: What did you get for it? The TF2 Gamer: 2 mann co keys 2 strong boxes and a bunch of items Now, from my understanding and knowledge, 2 keys and 2 crates to ME is a shark, considering the unusual should be priced at around 3 buds ( 1 of 2 memory leak swagmans swatter ). I then proceeded to add the accused, and he at first denied it was a shark ( see screenshots for more detail ). So yeah, I hope there is enough evidence, I dont however have screenshots of the trade, because i did not participate in it, but there is screenshots of the niiventorys now, also with screenshots of chats. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Also, after throwing various insults, varying from things related to his sexual organs to my financial matter, i decided i would stop reading them. -ANOTHER NOTE - sorry for the bad screenshots, I was not in the trade so could not get any pictures of the trade, however i provided as much evidence as i could. Evidence: The various screenshots show chats, and inventories of both victim and accused. Misc. Info: Is there any private information you wish to provide?
Unfortunately, without the original chat, it's difficult to ascertain if this is a case of sharking or merely a quick sell.
I find it hard to believe that anb experienced trader would buy an unusual from someone with a fairly noob-y looking backpack for 2 keys, I don't know anyone that would knowingly sell for that cheap
Hello byJooe, Sorry for the delay, please upload uncropped versions on the screenshots to the forums and are there any evidence of the sharking itself?
