    Description: On the RAWR Trade Server #3 EU, he crafted 2 pieces Sharp Dressers, and he posted them for sale. I traded him, and offered 2 refined metal, what is the basic price (I checked it with !price), and he told me, that he sold Sharp Dressers for 2,66 refined metal, and now he sells them for 2,66 refined each. At server chat, I said, that the Sharp Dresser is 2 refined, just check it, but he denied me. He didn't remember to my name, and I retraded with him, and asked for the price, just for screenshot it, and prove, that he is a scammer. He sells an item for 2,66 refined, instead 2 refined, when the 2 refined is the basic price. I think this is scamming, but you can judge it.

    There's a marked difference between being a scammer and overvaluing your items.

    I just say, what they said to me. I overpriced a Strange Your Eternal Reward, posted it, and few players said it to me on the Trade server: "You're a scammer!" "Scammer!" "LOL" "OMG Ur a scammer!"...so...please! I'm not responsible for charging anyone, because other players said, that overpricing is scamming.

    According to the SteamRep FAQ, a scammer is commonly defined as a person doing one of the following:
    From the evidence provided here, it appears that Mickey was only setting a firm price for his items. He was not doing any of the activities outlined above and therefore would not be considered a scammer. You may think his prices are too high, but a seller can choose to sell their items for whatever they wish just as you can choose whether or not to buy items at that price. :)

    With that said, thank you very much for the report! :) It is always good to be vigilant and please feel free to send us reports in the future. However, as Mickey was not scamming, I will mark this thread as invalid.
