JPD Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Saw this hat go on the market just yesterday. Checked it's history and it seemed.. really weird. http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198091301355?time=1448438400&compare=1448524800 Seems like it was a energy orb night owl for http://backpack.tf/item/4312091055 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noot ♥ Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 it's most definitely a shark when it comes to 1:1 value It definitely looks suspicious, but we cannot be 100% sure if there was any cash/other items involved in the trade. Edit: I cannot find any other items involved Upon further research this guy is definitely suspicious, it seems that another guy (highly likely an alt) sharked a scorching bats tree for a vivd milkman http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198134682514?time=1447920000&compare=1448179200 http://steamcommunity.com/id/vizzrecked/ and he possibly masked the shark with a trade for a HG samureye http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198091301355?time=1448179200&compare=1448006400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirana_drana Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I gave him a hong kong cone for his troubles, not nearly enough but maybe it helps. We should try to report this trader who sharked him :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPD Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Would anyone be willing to file a report on him since I'm not really experienced in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gent♥ Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thing is, you have proof it was a shark-ish trade as far is value is concerned, but no actual proof that actual sharking took place - that is to say, that Incognito misrepresented the value of his items. He just got good deals, without that proof. I'm not defending the guy - If you can prove that, please please do. But don't jump the gun on making reports when you don't have the necessary evidence.

In¢ognito (KSG)™ Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I NEVER said my sniper rifle was worth his kiss king, I asked him what he wanted from my backpack and he said he liked my rifle. I offered him 1:1 and he said sure. He asked if I had any sniper items and said he would throw in his kit. Now the tree. I added him and asked what he wanted. I offered my samureye and festivizer, but he said he wanted an unusual milkman. I asked him what effect, and he said GE. I asked him if vivid was ok, and he said sure. He specifically picked an item, and I bought the item and we traded. Never once did I tell him his item was worth less or more. Same with the kiss king. Like gent said, I never mentioned prices once, feel free to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In¢ognito (KSG)™ Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Feel free to add them to confirm, but this was NOT a shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In¢ognito (KSG)™ Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Also I like how you guys are all saying "the guy" or "this guy" and "him" as well as talking like I can't ser the thread. Sort of rude you know, who am I? Voldenort? He who must not be named??? Lol xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuuko Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 at least 150 key profit, good job taking advantage of someone who doesnt know about prices cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirana_drana Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 at least 150 key profit, good job taking advantage of someone who doesnt know about prices cheers! Probably a lot more. I imagine the sniper rifle being less than 100 keys and the kiss king more than 300 atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In¢ognito (KSG)™ Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 How is this relavent? He chose the item he wanted and I gave it to him. No Sharking took place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0night Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 How is this relavent? He chose the item he wanted and I gave it to him. No Sharking took place. cause you knew your item was worth a small fraction of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirana_drana Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 How is this relavent? He chose the item he wanted and I gave it to him. No Sharking took place.

Pilobacon Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Would anyone be willing to file a report on him since I'm not really experienced in that. Unless someone has screens and chat logs pertaining to this trade and is able to prompt the "victim" into reporting this to tf2OP no action can be taken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In¢ognito (KSG)™ Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I actually found him while playing on a CTF server, and a shark would be me telling him that his item was worth less than mine, i never did that, i asked him what he liked, he chose, and we traded. and you can add him and ask if i ever told him his item was worth less than mine, he will confirm i never did. Also, this is a really touchy subject as both items are unpriced and the kiss king is 1/1, so it was a fair trade from that standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In¢ognito (KSG)™ Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Concerning the tree, he asked for a milkman, i asked him which effect. He said GE or vivid, then i asked him if he would 1:1. He said yes. So i went and found Fishman and got the trade. He had nothing to do with this topic. No alts, nothing. Simply i discounted my Samur-eye for his milkman and bought the tree for what the owner asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyy Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 you might not have by definition "sharked" him but youre still a dick for taking advantage of an obviously new trader, and that bs about not telling him any prices might be an excuse as to why its not a shark but its still as shitty to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In¢ognito (KSG)™ Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 So if someone is offering you some profit, are you gonna say "Oh no, I can't do this! I am paying too little! Here let me give you more!" ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirana_drana Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 So if someone is offering you some profit, are you gonna say "Oh no, I can't do this! I am paying too little! Here let me give you more!" ??? Actually I've done that every single time some new trader asked for an item of mine worth less than his. Normally i leave less than a ref worth of profit for me. Edit: Then again maybe this is the reason why my backpack is what it is and your backpack is what it is. Shows that honesty isn't good for profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito, as I outlined earlier, you're not a shark. Don't pretend you're not perhaps morally dubious for what you're doing. Everyone else, Incognito is not a shark. We're fucking aware this is morally dubious, why ANYBODY posted after Incognito posted confirmation it wasn't a shark is beyond me, other than the ability to go "hurr durr look at me and my moral high-ground." All of you go and take a long hard think about why you're even here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
