Chatlog Copied from Pastebin:
Ellie Goulding: Any thought on my offer?
Madness combat: I thought about it, but honestly and I really don't want to upset you;however i've gotten offers of much greater value than mine, and in recollection, they were worthy of the trade. This offer though is of less value than my hat, at least in buds. I will admit that I use backpack.tf for pricing, but it really is the only direct source of pricing I can use effectively. Your offer is good, but not on par with what i'm looking for as well. Bud's and 1 pyro hat + 2 misc unusuals was what I was looking for. Sorry, if it is too demanding for you.
Ellie Goulding: backpack.tf told me that a Burning Sam was 39 buds
Ellie Goulding: I bought it for 70, sold it for the same
Ellie Goulding: That's all I've got to say about that
Ellie Goulding: Best of luck with your TC mate
Madness combat: You have a burning samureye?
Ellie Goulding: I had
Madness combat: ah
Ellie Goulding: I got bored of it
Madness combat: Honestly, I don't like burning as an effect
Ellie Goulding: I love it
Madness combat: favorite is cloudy moon and purple energy
Ellie Goulding: But that's me
Ellie Goulding: To be honest, I'm giving you a free upgrade, and adding for it
Ellie Goulding: But I don't care much
Ellie Goulding: Oh well, doesn't matter.
Madness combat: precisely what is your offer again. those 3 unusuals
Ellie Goulding: Secret TC Level 31
Ellie Goulding: 1 of 1 Harvest Headwarmer
Ellie Goulding: Burning Stateless Steel Toe
Ellie Goulding: Though I doubt I can keep the offer valid much longer
Ellie Goulding: Probably selling the TC soon
Madness combat: what is your price for the TC
Ellie Goulding: I've declined 70-80
Ellie Goulding: Have an offer of 90 right now
Madness combat: 90 buds
Ellie Goulding: 90 in easy to sell, desired burning hats
Madness combat: I'm just looking for buds.
Ellie Goulding: glwt
Madness combat: i'll buy the hats i'm looking for in buds
Ellie Goulding: Pricing your TC at 90+
Ellie Goulding: You'll get maybe 60 in promos
Ellie Goulding: No one EVER pays full promo price
Madness combat: promo's
Ellie Goulding: Buds
Ellie Goulding: And no one, I mean no one, carries around 90, or anything remotely close to it
Ellie Goulding: Closest I can think of is 66
Ellie Goulding: You'd end up doing Paypal and probably getting charged back
Madness combat: Well, sorry i'm so bad at making a practical offer, but my selling point is an unusual attendant (cloudy moon) hazmat's head case( green energy) and a knifestorm coffin kit, and some buds.
Madness combat: very specific and sorry for it
Ellie Goulding: np, but you're going to end up keeping the TC or geting screwed over by a scammer
Ellie Goulding: Chargebacks can happen any time within 3 months of a transaction
Ellie Goulding: And no one will wait 3 months
Madness combat: You mean when selling buds
Ellie Goulding: Buds aren't an option, there is no one with 90 straight
Madness combat: yes, that's why my list is there
Ellie Goulding: No one will bother
Ellie Goulding: And it's still majority promo
Ellie Goulding: And you don't have it up on outpost either, so extremely few people even know about it
Madness combat: I'm trying to keep it that way
Ellie Goulding: So you're keeping, not selling
Madness combat: Hold on i'm checking sogigolo's backpack, he looks like he might have what i'm looking for to some extent
Madness combat: I think, on second thought that i'll put the hat up for sale next june, and just buy a purple energy blighted beak for now.
Madness combat: Sorry if I wasted your time.
Ellie Goulding: Get a broker
Ellie Goulding: That is your absolute best option
Madness combat: For....the unusual blighted beak?
Ellie Goulding: No, for your TC
Ellie Goulding: Hand it off to someone who's well trusted in the community
Ellie Goulding: And they sell it for you
Ellie Goulding: http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/18245
Ellie Goulding: http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/176159
Ellie Goulding: Those 2 and me are the only brokers I can think of
Ellie Goulding: At the moment
Madness combat: If I give to a broker, they will sell it for what exactly?
Ellie Goulding: They relay offers to you, sift through the s✿✿✿ so you don't have to
Ellie Goulding: Basically, they sell it for more than you would be able to
Madness combat: Sounds logical
Ellie Goulding: Mhmm
Ellie Goulding: I've done it tons
Madness combat: how would I fully trust a broker with such an expensive hat
Ellie Goulding: And my friends always walk away with around 25% more than what they started with
Ellie Goulding: You take a chat log, or get some collat.
Ellie Goulding: That way, if they walk off, they're losing something they care aobut, or they get their ass marked
Madness combat: explain the 2nd to last message
Ellie Goulding: Collateral
Madness combat: ah
Ellie Goulding: Or you take a chat log of you both agreeing
Ellie Goulding: So they lose something if you do
Madness combat: oral contracts don't hold up very well
Ellie Goulding: On Steam they do
Madness combat: point taken
Madness combat: Alright
Madness combat: sounds reasonable
Madness combat: You said you were a broker
Ellie Goulding: Mhmm
Madness combat: I don
Madness combat: t know what that means
Madness combat: are you say yes
Madness combat: ing
Ellie Goulding: Yeah, I'm a broker
Madness combat: direct me to your rep report please
Madness combat: anything else you'd like to show me as well
Ellie Goulding: Usually you don't get +rep for brokering
Ellie Goulding: I can get a friend who I've done it for though
Madness combat: how many times have you been a broker
Ellie Goulding: 4-5
Ellie Goulding: For 50+ bud hats
Ellie Goulding: I brokered a Moon KE at one point
Madness combat: nice
Ellie Goulding: Then my friend decided to give it to me lol
Ellie Goulding: Which was just funny
Madness combat: to broker or for free
Ellie Goulding: At first I was brokering with collat
Ellie Goulding: And he decided he liked the collat more than the actual hat
Ellie Goulding: So he gave me the KE
Madness combat: what would be your collateral
Ellie Goulding: idk
Ellie Goulding: Usually, it's the person who I'm brokering for that picks the collat
Madness combat: hmmm
Madness combat: what value do you agree to on collateral in %
Ellie Goulding: Like, how should my collat compare to the value of your hat?
Madness combat: exactly
Ellie Goulding: Depends on you
Ellie Goulding: Collat is all at your discretion
Madness combat: Well traditionally, i'd look for the tippity top you would agree to
Ellie Goulding: So just spit out numebrs and I'll try to meet you there
Madness combat: so percentage values you mean
Ellie Goulding: I'll just throw this out there
Ellie Goulding: You hold my Secret TC
Ellie Goulding: I'd prefer it if you took a chatlog, however
Ellie Goulding: Because I'm taking offers on all my hats
Ellie Goulding: And if it's not in my bp, that kind of hinders me :L
Madness combat: Love to have one if I knew how
Madness combat: besides copying and pasting
Ellie Goulding: upload it to pastebin
Ellie Goulding: http://pastebin.com/
Ellie Goulding: And just keep the link handy
Ellie Goulding: I can do it for you and just link you if you like
Madness combat: sure
Ellie Goulding: So basically, you just say "I'm trusting you to broker my Cloudy Moon Team Captain, if you run off, I will send this chat log to SteamRep and you will be scammer tagged. Do you agree?"
Ellie Goulding: And I say "Yes, I agree."
Madness combat: roger doger
Madness combat: open up a new chat window or
Madness combat: this one will do
Ellie Goulding: doesn't matter

Description: Ellie Goulding (who possesses many names) is responsible for committing trade fraud, Grand Theft, Brokering Fraud, and Perjury of an Oral Agreement. The deal was that he would broker my Cloudy T.C. to sell it as a more experienced trader than I. The collateral was a Secret T.C. in order to give me a stop/loss of somekind in case of mass theft. He has since de-friended, barred communication, and blocked me all together on 3 different accounts of mine. His actions must not go without consequence lest justice die in vain. I appreciate your consideration, Madness Combat

Wow. You presented this very well, hopefully an admin will get on this. Just want you to know there is not a 100% chance of getting the hat back anytime, but you may! Keep your head up, friend.

Thanks for uplifting me, I've been really down lately since I was back stabbed by this person who I thought i'd make a true friend in.

Hey Madness, just wanted to let you know Ellie or Blue is already marked as a scammer. I am terribly sorry for your loss. That was a beautiful hat.
