xG|A Africanishaniqua misrepresented the value of his vintage earbuds in trade with Kinoshi for 3 unusual hats.

xG|A Africanishaniqua's tone in the PM's is indicative of his prior knowledge of his items value during the trade. He was intentionally misleading as to the value of his item in his dealing with Kinoshi. While I would not consider this to be a "Sharking" I would say it is deceptive trade tactics and a scam. The value of the trade is inconsequential. xG|A Africanishaniqua is deserving of a ban/tag on principle alone.

He asked me how much they were worth. I told him Backpack.tf says they're worth 31-36. I never said anything about the price. He never did any research and asked people the price after the trade was made. He accused me of first sharking, then hacking + scamming the hats out of him. Natural defends him by saying that he didn't say it, without even checking with Kinoshi first.

http://imgur.com/nabGjsa Natural refuses to tell me his side of the story because if Kinoshi lied to me, I am suspected to believe to lie to Natural aswell. Saying bp.tf value is now deceptive apparently and I somehow scammed him because he never did research? I've already been permanently banned off of PyroProtectMe and Tf2 Trader which, in my opinion, is plenty enough punishment for somebody else not looking up the price and/or asking or checking if the item is duped or not.

I'm sorry but, i do agree that this isn't called "sharking" because he indeed did not shark. But this wasn't a scam or trade tactics. I've known African for a very long time and there is no way in hell he would shark, it's just f✿✿✿✿✿✿ pointless. I don't think that he mislead his trade. From what it looks like in the screenshots he did tell the guy that on backpack.tf it says "31-36" and the guy went along with it and took the items. If he would of sharked it would been stated like "These buds are clean and sold for 10,000 buds" But he did not say that.

It's funny because also he accuses him of unethical trading and puts up a post for scamming. I believe it is a policy that Steam-rep says somewhere on the forums: If you do not know the price and make a trade, it is simply your fault, you did not research the item(s) history/value/public price. In this case he is only being called an unethical trader in all the chats and someone who skarks. Also Natural is someone who does not like Racial names and African was on the brink of a ban just for his creativity. In my eyes and plenty of others that's not a thing that anyone would justify as a good admin.

I wouldn't consider this a scam at all. I never scammed anything by saying they were clean. He never even bothered to check my own trade? He made a poor decision and that's his fault. I did my research and he didn't and now he suffered for it. He said directly that he wanted pure and took the trade without even asking anyone.

If natural said that he doesn't need Kinoshi's side of the story. Then there is no point of this report.

African already stated his side and that is incriminating enough for the sake of this report. Also, my decision about him was not biased due to me thinking his name was borderline racist, hence him not being banned from the server over it. It is interesting that a few of his clan mates come to help argue his case even in light of what transpired. Morals must be an odd notion to a person whom calls himself F4G and thinks it poor judgement for an admin to warn a player about using a questionably racist name. Your boy scammed. Get over it.

Why are you bringing his name into this. This has nothing to do with this report, seriously you if you don't provide Kinoshi's side of the story then there is no point of this report. You keep on bringing people into this story that were never in the story to begin with. Jeez think before you post man.

Ohaimark, Stay out of this. You're only trying to sully the waters. You could stand to follow your own advice seeing that you don't seem to comprehend what was previously posted.

I don't have to listen to you. You don't understand that if the other guy doesn't provide the proof of his story then your wasting your time with this report.

Is this your first time doing a steamrep report? Because your doing a very bad job at doing it. I don't think i'm going to waste my time with you when you just to tell me to shut up and tell me to stay out of this.

Laff!

Glass houses.

Unfortunately this seems to be a shark report, Steamrep doesn't directly ban on these kind of reports but they're appreciated. However I'll have to archive your report due to this.

I invite you, to report this kind of event into outpost and/or other trade servers such as Mann Co trading, who handle them.

Regardless, thank you for your report!
