Just traded a Vita Saw for two Refined Metal. ...Um, alright then.
[QUOTE=rotaivA;25257269]Some guy traded his Chieftan's Challenge with me for my Vintage Troublemaker's Tossle cap, my only hat, ever. He said he didn't want it, and obviously didn't know the value the hat held. [highlight]He sounded like one of those middle-aged, half-drunken casuals who enjoyed the game for what it was, and not for the stupid fucking cosmetic collectibles everyone is fretting about 24/7, 365.[/highlight] I ended up getting every single item and hat I ever wanted out of it- a rare Vintage hat for every class, every Vintage miscellaneous item for every class, Earbuds, and a ton of weapons. I ended up trading it away for the last Vintage item I wanted: A Whiskered Gentleman. Looking back on it, I realised I could have gotten more out of it, or even gave it to a friend for his Vintage Whiskered gentleman, but that would be just greedy- they got enough free hats from me while I had it, and I got everything I could want and more.

Someone wanted a Gunslinger so I gave him a spare one I got. He gave me the Stove pipe (Demo Top Hat) in return.

Two Gunslingers, A Wrangler, and whatever the new engineer shotgun is for a Sydney sleeper :v: Not bad
Traded Dapper for Yellow Belt, Batters Helm, Mining Light, Glengarry Bonnet, Sloa Topi, Nappers Respite. And if that wasn't good enough, crafted the Mining Light and Glengarry Bonnet into the Familiar Fez. :smug: to infinity.

[QUOTE=wart;25245992]are scamming suspensions permanent? three good men on my friends list were put into steam jail[/QUOTE]Yes. [url=http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3348218&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=89#post382851234]From a TF2 dev on SA:[/url] [quote=GreenMarine]We nuke scammers from orbit. We deactivate their accounts. This means they lose access to all steam products. We are investigating less harsh methods of punishment. As of today we may begin nuking the violator's inventory completely on the first offense and then closing their account on a successive offense. We are also investigating the possibility of simply disabling trade for violators or other methods of escalating punishment. We are pretty good at determining whether actual fraud took place and also some types of not-really-fraud (like complaining about a bad trade) are ignored. This doesn't really address the guys who scam from an account bought just for scamming, but it should discourage casual scamming. Victims have their items restored if real fraud is determined.[/quote]
What do they actually define as scamming?
[QUOTE=Aurablock;25261580]What do they actually define as scamming?[/QUOTE] I guess, it is promising something (eg painting their hat) but not delivering, and taking their whatever they gave/offered.
Probably what I posted above.
Went from cheaters lament, gibus and alien hat...to... [img]http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/2870/derpderp.png[/img]
This isn't a scam, but: 1 reclaimed for 1 vintage brain slug vintage brain slug for vintage medic mask vintage medic mask for vintage engineer's cap, vintage safe n sound, and a reclaimed engineer's cap for vintage bald engy + 2 refined so basically, 1 reclaimed = 2 refined, 1 reclaimed, vintage safe n sound, vintage bald engy. could have done better, but im a friendly trader that hates to "scam".
[QUOTE=Aurablock;25261580]What do they actually define as scamming?[/QUOTE]The example given earlier in the thread was offering a rare item for more than the maximum four items at a time, taking the first four then running. The usual MMO scams, basically. Realizing you traded a good item for a crap one and being grumpy about it doesn't count.
