Mr. Bucket Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 No, it's just a bad deal for the Birdcage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddingkip Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 he offered it on the hat. At most he sharked himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duscoda Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 No. Just because the guy that had the Cage wasn't smart enough to look around before offering, it doesn't make it a shark. Like Puddingkip said, its at most him sharking himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baraklava Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The second link is sold tho This one is better: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/16552967 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The first ones definitely not a shark. Both parties knew the value of each others items. Looked back at the trade and its appears to be a scam (or manipulative at the very least--he linked the suggestion to the clean skull) The second link is asking for 6 keys, its listed at 3 keys. Not sharking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeMcCoolName Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 dem regrets Actually, the first one is kind of scamming. Look at the notes, he linked the suggestion for the clean one (implying his is clean). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt notice. If he wanted to claim it was clean skull than it is a scam. Well he posted a link to manipulate a user to believe it was worth ~ 2 buds when it is worth 3 keys.

That does change things as he definitely linked it with the intent of screwing someone over that wasn't paying attention to the link being a year old price for the clean one. I'd actually bring this up to an OP admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddingkip Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6591337 had to remove a space This one is from december 2012 and the other one from January 2014. The time between them is so great that tf2economy changed greatly in such a way that I call this invalid evidence. 2012 trading just isn't 2014 trading. If he purposedly linked tp the craftable item page and the guy believed it the seller is a douchebag but the buyer a massive fucking idiot. It might be a shark, but I'm not in favor of banning the guy because sharking isn't outside my legal zone (Jjon for mod) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand considering what jon did to not be sharking, but blatantly trying to convince someone that something is worth more than it is, is no question sharking (and ban-worthy).

puddingkip Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 If you're dumb enough to sell your house/car/superawesomerarepainting for $10 you don't deserve to be helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duscoda Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If you're dumb enough to sell your house/car/superawesomerarepainting for $10 you don't deserve to be helped. Chipero is beyond helping at this point, but that doesn't mean Mr. Bloom should get away with it. What he did was an obvious attempt to mislead potential buyers and is easily grounds for being banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teeird Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If you have to ask, 99% it's not. The day when taking a good offer on outpost is considered sharking is when I completely lose faith in TF2. edit: nvm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teeird Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 but blatantly trying to convince someone that something is worth more than it is, is no question sharking (and ban-worthy). So let's ban all the people overpricing their new effect unusuals by 200%-300% then. edit: nvm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeMcCoolName Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 So let's ban all the people overpricing their new effect unusuals by 200%-300% then. Thats different. If he was just trying to sell it for 2 buds, and it sold, i wouldn't have an issue with it. BUT he linked the craftable version, so he's either an idiot, or he's trying to trick someone.

Edit 2: Well I can't defend the guy anymore for taking a good offer as there was some scammy shit going on. Don't care of the outcome at this point. Moving on.
