The Brand New $100 Offer

Not that I (we, I hope) don't trust you, but isn't it standard policy for the one with the real money to go first? You can cancel PayPayl payments, but you can't reverse trades. Or at least, I think so...?

 

I just did a trade with him, I went first and it was completely smooth.

 

Heh, of course you aren't. My point wasn't that you were unreliable, I just thought it was common practice to do it vice versa, so I thought I'd ask. I meant no offence or anything.

 

if a trader has a lot of rep it usually means that he's thrustworthy not to mention scammers are reported --> http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197999234619 (helljack's steamrep is just fine)

Please stop being a retard nlspeed..

 

I already traded most of my strange and genuine items. *Sigh*

What if I gave you a choice of any 24 items in my inventory? Although all of my strange items are gone, but I still have some neat stuff things in there, like a level 100 Bonk. Basically, that's enough choices to nab all my hats, accessories, my tags and a few vintage weapons.

This is hypothetical, however.

 

How much for Bombing run w/ flies xD

 

I have genuine items in there. It's the genuine items + any other items he wants that reaches a total of 24 items.

 

Stop putting it in plural, the only genuine you have is an Anger, worth around 3 or 4 refined.

In fact, i've done you a great favour and valued your entire backpack, giving you very, very generous prices and rounding up at every chance:

(I used the following fairly standard conversion rate: 1 Key = 2.55 Refined = $1.50)

Bill's Hat = 9 Keys
All Other Hats (Plus Clean High-Five Taunt) = 32 Refined = 13 Keys
35 Vintage Weapons (Including true values of the crit-a-cola, crossbow, caber and loch-n-load) = 15 Refined = 6 Keys
Level 100 Vintage Bonk! Atomic Punch = 15 Keys
60 Various Crates = 7 Refined = 3 Keys
195 Various Weapons = 22 Refined = 9 Keys
2 Tags + 3 Paints = 4 Refined = 2 Keys
2 Refined = 1 Key

Total = 58 Keys = $87

Yup, your entire backpack is worth less than $100.

Conclusion: pls go

 

Yes yes, but the point wasn't that HellJack is untrustworthy (I explicitly stated - twice - that he isn't), the point was that I thought that normally, those with money trade first. And seeing HellJack wanting to do the opposite, that made me question whether I was right or not. Not that he wants to do that for some shady purpose.

 

normally there is a middle man.... but that aside, 99% of money trades are done with consideration of the persons steamrep, is your steamrep high then you give the money last as you are trusted by a large number of people, is your steamrep low then some people won't even bother trading with you, if they do decide to trade with you, you usually go first.




that being said, don't just go out trading for money to anyone who seems to have a high steamrep, scammers have been known to copy other people's steamrep or simply making it up as they go.

 

Ah, that was what I wanted to know. Thank you!

 

That's not true at all.. people with better rep are the ones the go last , you have no clue about trading whatsoever.

 

Exactly. Which is why I asked.

 

Genuine question: Remember that unusual hat I magically obtained off you... would you buy it back off me for a nominal fee or would you maintain honour and refuse to accept it.
