Does this makes me a scammer/sharker?

    Someone sent me a trade offer,
    a gifted Miami Nights Rimmed Raincatcher for strange invis watch + 1 key.
    So, I just accept.

    In my defence,
    - he/she was the one that sent the trade offer
    - maybe he's quickselling(?)
    - the hat is gifted
    - trade offer is a multiple-step process, can't really messed that up
    - he/she didn't cancel the trade offer, I mean, It's not like I can accept it within milliseconds after he/she sent the offer

    Nvm, returned the hat. But he added some minor sweets.

    It cannot be a shark, for it was a trade offer by the "victim" himself. Because:
    Sharking is a active thing. SHARK initiates (that may be by asking victim to trade him) a trade with the victim and then asks for high valuable stuff, and get to pay way less.

    Its not a scam:
    Trade agreement cannot be broken. Both can overview the trade for items. And both can agree (accept trade/keep offer) or not (decline trade/remove offer).

    Agree with YATO above tho. Kudos for being a decent trader.
