What happened? Description:

I've put up a trade on CSGOLounge stating that I'd be trading my ST Bayonet Crimson Web Field Tested and this guy adds me saying he saw my trade on CSGOLounge. He decides to make me get a Dota 2 item first so I can give it to him and he gets away with the item and I get scammed. I was playing along with him, saying I already have the item to see what he says. I eventually tell him that I'm aware he's scamming and saying I'm not a ✿✿✿✿✿✿.​

Provide Evidence:

I accepted his first trade request after I had said I had the item to see what he'd do, however he closed it and made another request before blocking me.​

He had a Bayonet Slaughter which was worth $170 (or so) on the market and he wanted me to first buy the item and give it to him before he gives me the knife. Here's the link to the item: http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/570/Autographed Armguards of the Dwarf Engineer
As you can see it goes for a high price even though it never gets sold because it's an Autographed item.

He wanted me to purchase the item directly from the market and trade it to him so he could give me the slaughter. I think I might have mis-categorized this by accident, if so I really apologize.

I see what you're saying but he didn't link me to anything he just told me to give him the item in exchange for your knife, which I didn't do as I remember I've been scammed with this method a while ago.

I'm getting really confused here - the user wanted me to obtain the item in order for me to give him the item in exchange for his bayonet slaughter. The item on the Steam Market is worth about $100 (the dota 2 item) however in reality it's actually worthless because it's autographed (from what I think as I don't play Dota 2 but that's what I've seen in my past experiences) and if I purchase it he could leave me hanging with a useless item I payed $100 for I can't even re-sell.
This is the link to the Dota 2 item I'm speaking of: http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/570/Autographed Armguards of the Dwarf Engineer

I see now. He didn't directly ask me to buy it from the market because I said I have the item to see what he'd say, however the fact he wanted me to trade him the item first and then later only trade my knife made me suspect he's trying to scam me.
