    I hate seeing people get scammed/ripped


    Not sure if this belongs in tf2items or in the flame forum, if it's in the wrong place, please move it.

    I really hate seeing 'nubs' on trade servers get preyed upon for their unusuals/promos/etc., and being completely unable to do anything about it. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Just watched someone get their green energy unusual taken for a single buds. I know some people like to make the semantic distinction and say this isn't scamming. But to me, if you intentionally target someone with the sole purpose of getting them to sell you something, unknowingly, for insanely less than its actual value, that's a scam.

    That's called business lol. Tell me of any kind of store/seller who will buy things from you at 100% value. When selling something second hand to a store/merchant you will always be gouged. That's just how people make profit.

    You should have price-checked your unusual anyways, so it's kind of your fault for making yourself gullible.
