    Your case is a Quickswitch scam, you must go into your trading history on Steam and find the trade in question. Screenshot it and find his profile and run it through Steamreps search engine - Steamrep.com

    Please report it in the format shown in this Readme thread - http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/...-look-at-acceptable-format-before-posting.51/

    The trouble is inventory history proves nothing if there is no evidence of contract (trade screenshot), since you may choose to sell your unusual for whatever seems best to you, and no one can presume to be price police. That and the fact that both parties must accept a trade....

    Makes it kind of tough without proper evidence.

    bleh, the unusual turned into a uncraftable store hat. i couldnt stop the trade.

    I made the report, i showed the trade history, i showed the item he was going to trade. and i showed my crafted items in is bp.. really wish i could getthe history of the switch in the trade..

    Luckily it as well under a buds lost.

    ALSO: I have made many reports here in the past. I'm sure you would know i wouldn't pay 8+ keys on an uncraftable mining light.

    Oh SR may be able to act, up to them. They do use common sense when reviewing reports believe me :)

    I know exactly how easy it is to not properly check a trade when we are busy, and hell, most of us are too lazy to screenshot stuff my friend.
