    I saw this classfield on bp.tf for a half priced unusal (2.5-2.9 buds was selling for 22 keys), very eager to do the trade i added the guy and bought it for 20 keys. only after i traded for the unusual i saw he had a scammer tag and that he only had 0.1 hours on tf2. I know this was very obvious and i was very stupid, but i only had 1 unusual before and didn't think that the one selling an unusual would be a scammer alt. Should i just delete the unusual? I really have no clue and would like advice.

    I also forgot to mention that after i asked to trade back for the unusual the keys were gone from his backpack.

    he's not a marked scammer. So no worries, and do with the item what you want. Just be careful with quick-sellers and "new" accounts etc.
