Price Manipulation

Recommended Posts

    I recently traded a trader on vatican city for an aces high soldered sensei. I was advertising to buy quicksells, and then he invited me to trade. He offered the sensei and I originally asked to buy it for 15 keys because that's quicksell price. 
    I then checked the stats of the unusual and there was a buyer for 17 pure and 5 ref. 
    The trader told me he could do 16 keys which was weird because there was a buyer at 17. I accepted the trade and immediately sent an offer of 17 keys to the buyer on bp.tf. 
    A day later, all the keys in the buyer's inventory was gone, and that user's bp value dropped. I checked the person's bp history and it showed that that person had a one way trade and traded away all his/her keys. 
    I then checked the history of the keys and realized that person returned the keys to the trader I traded for the soldered sensei. 
    I feel like this person was working with the other dude so that he could sell it for a higher price than usual. I wouldn't have accepted a trade if there wasn't a buy order for that unusual at 17 keys. 
    I remember someone doing that before, and that person got banned. If someone with more authority could look over those users, it would be greatly appreciated.

Actually it's nothing new, but it wasn't that popular tho. Some buyers in their classies were using that (like the australium bot dude or how was he called or versi) earlier.

This method has been used before and isn't allowed. A person was banned for this a while back, just contact a mod or admin
