However, here is the handle in my friend's backpack (from July 9, the last time he played TF2): http://www.tf2items.com/id/Kapex?time=1341846165. And in Trunk's backpack: http://www.tf2items.com/id/trunking. Screenshot of Paypal account, showing no money was received, also I never gave him my Paypal e-mail in the screenshot of chat: http://imgur.com/pEDsu (If I didn't edit out all my personal info please tell me. >.<) I was brokering my friend's ghosts handyman's handle on SourceOP (Thread: http://forums.sourceop.com/threads/126287-Haunted-Ghosts-Handyman-s-Handle), and Trunk added me offering $60-65, as showin in the chat screenshots. He linked me to his SourceOP rep thread (http://forums.soureop.com/threads/42599-Trunk-s-Rep-Thread/). The rep thread linked to the profile of the Trunk that had added me, is 30+ pages, and over a year old, and I decided to trust him and go first instead of asking for a middleman. I got the handle from my friend, traded it to Trunk, and he removed me right away. You can see the handle if you go from his rep thread to his profile to his backpack now, although I can't figure out how to get a timestamped backpack link as he hasn't been in TF2 for a while.
