I generally don't accept those kinds of requests, so he was just sitting there until I accidentally accepted it today while looking for a different trade. Anyway, the chat screenshot explains most of it, so I'll just describe what happened in the trade window: In the first trade window, he tried to offer me a sun-on-a-stick, a key, and a scrap metal. I wasn't sure about accepting this, took my time looking up prices, and he declined. The second trade window (near the bottom) is after he told me we can't trade games for items. At this point, I was fairly sure he was a scammer (I thought lying about steam) but to verify, I decided to test, knowing he put up an item, I would see if I could put up a game. Anyway, he accepts, puts up his "special item" (guess what, it was a sun-on-a-stick, making his deposit worth even less than the original offer!), I put up borderlands 2, demonstrating that he was wrong and called him a lying scumbag. Unfortunately, after this he closed the trade window before I could get a screenshot. IMPORTANT STUFF (TL;DR for admins): He lied about how steam trading works and tried to give me a Sun-On-A-Stick for Essential Accessories after I had already declined that offer + sweeteners.
Here's the log in text as well. He never did respond to that last question. Code: Never tell your password to anyone.
