Scammed... by my own sleepiness and stupidity with some help from <Mr Ballistic †>(:

[56MinuteMek]

Didn't know where else to post this, but I need somewhere to post this .

 

After being scammed for my Cloudy Moon Bonk Helm a few months ago due to a chargeback scammer, it's been a pretty long journey back up. I recently bought a Miami Nights Conquistador and was trying to sell it (pretty hard sale). About 11.15pm GMT+8 Time (30 Minutes ago), I received a trade offer, seemingly of an O.Planets Master's Yellow Belt, excited about finally getting rid of the Conquistador and quite sleepy due to days of late nights , I quickly clicked accept, and started to make a trade on Outpost, Bazaar, etc. Still oblivious to the fact that I've actually traded for an O. Planets Soldiered Sensei, roughly 30 Keys lower in price, I started offering the hat. To my surprise at the time, and my quick shock and disbelief shortly after, I found out that I had traded for a Soldiered Sensei.

My immediate reaction was to add that guy, only to be ignored and I finally resorted to commenting on some of his OP Trades.

Normally, I would be kicking myself for my stupidity (and I am), but it kinda bugs me that without looking closely, the Soldiered Sensei looks a lot like the Yellow Belt for someone who isn't familiar with the hats and that this guy probably/possibly knew, and even managed to get the values of the Yellow Belt so close to the price I wanted, not some ridiculous overpay if it really was an accident.

This isn't a scam. It's a bad deal. There's a difference. It's your fault for not noticing that it was a sensei.

You noticed the slight sarcasm in my title right? As in "Scammed" followed by the ....

[Slocumruls]

not really a scam. and not even really that bad of a deal considering conquistadors are pretty cheap in general and miami is terrible to sell at the moment.

Should probably make my title clearer, considering no one gets the sarcasm

[d0 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Well, regardless if you got sharked/missread something I don't think you should enter one of his trades and post irrelevent things to the trade itself. He doesn't ignore you, so perhaps add him instead and talk to him.

Added him once^

Can someone make a TL:DR version of this?

[Embix]

I know this guy, he scammed people before.
He got lucky with craft numbers and scammed so many noobs.

TL;DR was tired and got a shit deal because I wasn't alert enough to realise the shit offer he got

MN conq is awful to sell

 

just put a b/o of 2 on the sensei and wait it out

Seriously, so I'm not the only one?

You didnt get scammed, just being dumb

I got offered an unusual modest on one of my trades which was overpay by about ~1 bud on my item. So scrub me just added the guy without steam repping him or checking for dupes (I was new to unusual trading) The guy put up this hat that had been renamed to the modest but was actually a backbiters billycock! Thank god i noticed the red exclamation and read the description closely or else I would have lost 3 buds. Same effect, different hat, but similar look. I've been there man, feels bad getting scammed though Best of luck selling it and I hope the fucker has a hard time reselling your hat. (Also I think it's scamming if you say it's one hat but it's actually another one which looks similar, especially if you try to rename/paint it or something)

Well, it is generally hard to catch sarcasm without either doing "....." or (sarcasm). I dont know if you know this, but reading words is different from speaking. And sarcasm is VERY much a spoken retort.

 

In response over all, that's a shame. I won't lie; you did something stupid. The best thing to do now is make the most. However, I don't think this is something that needs this much publicity and doing it wont, like, ruin his rep. Just sayin.

 

Anyway, best of luck.

Technically, it would be scamming if in the trade, he had put up the Belt, and changed it for the Soldered. Same if he renamed the Soldered, since he is trying to sell you something else than what he proposed.

However, in this case, it would be sharking, since he never said it was not a Belt, and only took advantage of 56minute's ingorance

A glitch happened that caused me to put my Hearts handle on the steam market for $14. Oh and be careful with trade offers. Always check them and slap your self a few times to make sure you are awake before accepting

[whopz]

please explain the sarcasm? all i see is classic buyers remorse. if i was the dude who sold it to you i would block you forever

[♠Derpeh♤]

Your item, your backpack, your responsibility.

 

Bad luck dude.

There! Problem Solved.

I was drunk one time, wanted a strange jarate and accidentally paid 3 ref for it. I told a buddy of mine this story and he just laughed and called me an alcoholic.

[F CHARLIE]

/\/\  This is actually true.  The bad deal was you buying the Miami conquistador in the first place.

[Embix]

Seriously, so I'm not the only one?

Not at all he sold craft number 3's for like 5-15 keys over and then blocked them because after the update noobs thought low craft numbers were like so so so rare
