No, they're risks you took because you didn't listen to a loving word we said. Good job losing hundreds of dollars for no reason

Hate to be that sort of rear end in a top hat but you should've recognized your own incompetence and asked for help. Let this be a lesson to us all.

He's a member of only two groups. One of which seems to be devoted to giving each other "trading rep". That should've enough to put yourself on guard.

The next time one of you goons gets a $400+ item just give it to me. At least then you'll be able to come visit it to see how it's doing every now and then (maybe (gonna try to get my rig set up tonight))

I think it was still a crimson huntsman, just not yours.

the game hours are not really there

I don't really get this. His 1,700 hours in csgo isn't enough? What do game hours prove anyways, that they use the account a lot? Cuz it doesn't seem like that'd be a good indicator to tell whether someone might scam you or not.

Why don't people just go to Captain Invictus for real money trades? Does he not do those anymore? Or are you really that stingy enough that you abhor the thought of him taking a 15% cut?

I see a lot of friends do this irl so this may sound dumb but it's really not: Take your loving hands off the mouse and keyboard after you die. I'm serious. A ton of people stay on while speccing their teammates like they're still playing and I watch their whole body tense up. As soon as you take your hands off you loosey-goosey and everything is ok. Just sit back and chill and reflect on how terribly you played the previous round.

This is good advice. I also will sometimes just tell myself in my head that I have to not tense up (if I tell myself to 'relax' instead I do the opposite) and that seems to work.

Isn't the steam marketplace 15%. Who's this guy to want 15% too?

Like what, out of curiosity? Certainly if I were that guy, and when it comes time I don't want mine, I'll just dump it on the market so I don't have to deal with scams.

This might be a dumb question, but my main screen says "mission 1/2". Does this mean I have two different missions that I can pick from or is it just a confusing way to say that I've completed one and have one current mission?

You can have a max of two active missions. You currently only have one active uncompleted mission, of two.

The Steam market vig is just the price you pay for not knowing what you're doing. If you dont want to pay that you can always spend x number of hours researching it enough that you're confident you won't get scammed. I'd rather get a little less than have to learn the latest state-of-the-art scamming techniques. Who wants to delve into that nest of scumbags?

wish it was better, i was doing well off the bat and weeding out the dozens of scammers and then got home from a night on the town and like an idiot turned on my computer instead of just going to bed and then totally loving forgot that CS:GO is full of hackers, scammers, and equal parts idiots like me and then went ahead with this rear end in a top hat who i should have known was just a scammer. like we even talked about currency prices and poo poo so during the negotiation process i hosed up and forget to look at all the tools like that rep site and other huge red flags that now are extremely evident.
