    Description: A I had a post on tf2outpost.com selling a pair of strange mantreads. N1c0 added me and tried to convince me that his Vintage Tyrant's Helm was worth 5 keys instead of 3 because there are only 3 level 60's in the world. Fortunately I knew where to look up whether these statistics were correct or not and after showing my evidence he removed me from his friends.

    No scam is evident here.

    People disagree daily on the relative worth of items, and in this case there is little discrepancy. There is an onus upon the buyer to carefully check what they believe an item is worth, and in this case you did.

    Hello, there's no evidence of any scam attempt here.

    I'll reject this.
