I had put up a hugely unfair deal on the trade site (either tf2tp.com or tf2outpost.com). I then quickly traded with this person without realizing that I was trading a similar, much lower priced item with him. He then removed me as normal. I tried to add him back and he accepted. I then explained why it was an unfair deal I accidentally accepted. At the end of the chat shown below he both removed and blocked me.

As Boom said, this wasn't a scam. He wasn't trying to quick-switch the item and he never misrepresented it either from the evidence I see here. I would recommend that before you make an offer, just double-check to be sure it's the item you want. I am sorry you overpaid but thank you for the report.
