    Now this is a very unorthodox report. But this user has done some pretty terrible things to me.

    About 2-3 weeks ago, the user tells me that he will buy my milkman for 295$, he posts it on my tf2op trade, and tells me to close it, that he will definetly buy it, 100%. I don't really believe him, and I keep it up anyway. The reason for not trading is because of steamgaurd. So he has me hold it. I hold it for 2+ weeks and today he informs me he doesn't want it, promptly deletes me and blocks me. I am not asking for a scam tag on this user. I just do not want other people to have to trade with this person and go through all this bullshit just to get "trolled" like this. And yes I'm mad. Because I declined a lot of good offers because he kept adding on to it (it was originally 250$, then rose up to 295$ as I got better offers. He did not scam me at all, but he ruined my chances of selling this hat any time soon. Please steamgaurd admins, do your best. If there is anything I can get from this, is that this user never, ever f✿✿✿s with people like this ever again.

    I'm sorry but there is no evidence of a scam here, he will not receive a mark or anything like that as you didn't lose anything. This is a baiting situation and I'm not sure how admins deal with this issue but all I can advice is to go and repost and try and sell. When next you try and sell an item, if the person hasn't got the money ready then just go ahead and pursue other offers or you should have taken something as a deposit or collateral to insure he would actually buy it or he would lose his item. I hope you take it as a learning experience, good luck.

    I understand it was my fault, but the thing is, is that he blocked me, changed his profile picture, made his bp private and became a recluse, It makes me think that this has been done to other people, and I really hate seeing him getting away with it.

    @admins disregard this post, I now realize it is stupid. Take it down if you can.
