    That isn't a scam/shark. You wanted the item right then and there, so you paid a little more than what a pricing GUIDE (not an end-all price bible) said it was worth. Paying more for something you want immediately is simple economics.

    Yes I'm actually very serious you need to have proof in your report you can't just say such and such happen without evidence.

    He means, there is no evidence. It's not even a scam.

    That isn't scamming, that's overpay.

    I hate to say it, but this isn't a scam or a shark. A scam would mean that part of the deal didn't go through and, as far as I can see, the deal went as you wanted it to. Sharking usually involves more than .33 ref.

    Sounds more like buyers remorse. Without proof that the deal didn't go as agreed, this probably won't go anywhere.

    The cookie cutter thing doesn't really work here. I know it's a bit ironic coming from me, but still.

    And these are the kind of reports that get the wrong kind of attention.

    Honestly I'd overpay for a 3.00 by .33 for a misc I want. Backpack/spreadsheet isnt the almighty definite god of pricing everything. People have a right to post whatever price they want and they can reap the consequences of that

    Besides, you can't report sharkers on steamrep.com. you have to go somewhere else for "sharking" reports.

    Hello there.

    Sorry to say that this is nowhere near sharking or scamming.

    Backpack.tf/spreadsheet/any sites like those are not 100% correct when it comes to prices. The prices given on those sites are just guidelines for prices on items. People have the right to post whatever price they want on their item. If the buyer and seller agree that they are willing to pay what they want to pay, there is no sharking or scamming there.

    I will say it again, 0.33 is nowhere near the sharking or scamming point.

    Also to add Steamrep does not deal with sharking. If you have been sharked, you have to take care of it yourself.

    As stated, no scam here, we don't investigate this.
