What happened? Description:

[9:31 AM]
soup:
i mean not rlly
i could sell it on the community market and you could buy it there if you want

[9:31 AM]
Phoebus:
not also using steam market to avoid 7days trade hold cos i need to resell the items in a day not a week
but i can still pay you steam money so it would be the same bro

[9:49 AM]
Phoebus:

and fees on me just to make fair with you, if its ok ?

[9:51 AM]
soup:
