Administrators Teeny Tiny Cat Posted July 2, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 2, 2017 "My definition of sharking is that it is the use of deceitful tactics to coerce another user to commit a trade against their better judgment. It is akin to scams committed by con artists in the real world. The discrepancy in item value is much less important than the intent to defraud another user. We will ban users for committing this sort of fraud ONLY if there is definitive proof using screenshots of the conversation and trade agreement showing that the user in question has lied or misrepresented item values in a gratuitous way to deceive another user. In the absence of this proof, all -trusts or "shark" reports will be removed. Rationale: It's a free market. People can choose to trade as they see fit. People cause more pain by being the sharking police and adding a person to tell them they just lost a thousand dollars by selling something for less than they should have. Buying a hat for less than its "supposed value" is not enough. If the two sides agree to a fair trade, then that's the agreement. HOWEVER, if there is clear evidence that one user lied, misrepresented item values in a gratuitous way, or deceived another user in order to convince or force them to commit a trade against their better judgment, then I see that as a scam, much the same way a con artist commits scams. If there is evidence of this with clear proof using screenshots of chat histories, then I will gladly ban them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenSakura Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 ok well the user lied saying that the csgo skin was worth 80 keys so that's a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators ᴾᴾᴹ Shuffle Spy Posted July 2, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 2, 2017 did he manipulate you into thinking it's worth 50 keys? if he just says it is because of a sticker, you can do research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barakuba Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Rip it isn't a holo. The sticker is worth 80 keys so I think you misunderstood what he was saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGSemper Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 the only stickers that would effect the price of a gun skin is anything from EMS Katowice 2014(Some go to up 2K$), and the Howling Dawn which was deemed stolen artwork and removed from the game entirely, But there are some stickers that go for less than 100$ that are still a decent value to some people, IE Foils for Katowice 2015, LGB Foil sticker goes around 55$ roughly, And the Titan Foil around 47$ because their Team"Titan" disbanded. Theres also the Crown(Foil) Around 86-89$, which is pretty sought after because of the gold skull and crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenSakura Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 He told me: oh I don't play csgo anymore because it's cancer. Here I'll give this skin to you It's worth 80 keys and is more than enough for your unusual. The thing is he's still playing csgo which means he lies and can't be trusted. Second he told me that the stickers price would apply to the skin saying it was 80 keys. So now I have to start off unusual trading again because of dirty shark era like him. Note: I don't necessarily have most of the chat between us since steam deletes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGSemper Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 is it 2014 or 2015? 2014 goes for alot more than 2015 Edit: Checked myself, Its a normal Katowice 2014 Titan Sticker that hasnt been scratched and in a favorable sticker position, the sticker goes for 200+$, but like diamond said below people who dont know much about stickers will overprice then skin the sticker is on, in your case the skin by itself is a key, not much else can be said though.

Diamond jozu Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 well imo i would say a shark.stickers are like spells,paints and strange parts .honestly this is somewhat like a shark for me.the skin is 10 keys and this guy wants to use the full price of the sticker.from what i've learnt from rich csgo traders,they would count only 5% of the entire price so in this case if he didnt lied to you,he was overpricing his item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePickleCat Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I don't get it. Why would you even accept an item from a game you don't even own, let alone know the trading system of? Just clicking on "view in community market" would have told you that the base skin was worth about a key. Like tf2 who pays full price for add ons? Sadly unless you show some very incriminating chat logs, there is nothing that can be done against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fell for the scam as I don't have much experience with csgo items, but then he lies trying to defend that he's only trying to scam and make massive amounts of profit from poor people like me. I actually worked for my keys, so it hurts to see them scammed. On the other hand, all I know about the other person is that he's an ungrateful brat who thinks scamming is ok.

Well this other user was overpricing it. I asked whether to sticker would influence The price of the skin and he lied and said yes. You know I'm sick of all of these scammers and sharkers.

XenSakura Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Also I did not want to accept the trade as csgo items I had no interest in, but he said that it was 80 keys, therefore misguiding me into accepting the trade. I was a bit suspicious though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond jozu Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 so in other words you only believed what he said but never consulted anyone nor made any research?well i hate to say this but it is your fault.if you think you are still right,go ahead and leave an untrust on his bp.tf but can be removed if you dont provide sufficient evidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should've checked with friends, but deceit is the art of con men or in this case, scammers. I may be foolish, but deceiving people would mark him as a scammer.

V1nce Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 thats not a shark. Saying its (literally) 'worth' 80 keys is technically correct- skin price + sticker price. That doesn't mean it'll sell for 80 keys though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
