    I am sorry for replying to this report 3 years after it was submitted, but I just can't seem to get rid of it... I'm trying to build rep from buying selling and this report is showing me in a bad way, which is not me... So I will explain what happened that day, as I still remember it clearly...

    Back in those days I was an active trader in the csgo community, and I was actively trading up from my inital investment 50$ to a dragon lore. On that day I traded my karambit slaughter (fn if I remember correctly) for a karambit crimson web ft (NOT STATTRACK) with 1 good web and good float + some adds. I posted the trade that I want to trade the karambit crimson web I have just got to something else (was looking for profit - hence trading up). I was surprised how fast this guy added me, and straight away offered me his butterfly knife fade stattrack factory new, for my karambit crimson web ft (NOT STATTRACK). I was a bit confused as to why he wanted to downgrade so bad, to my karambit, when clearly his butterfly was worth more... I ASKED HIM TO SEND A TRADE OFFER TO ME - that clearly isn't "quickswitching" or anything... After he sent the offer he caceled it and proceded to invite me to trade in chat. I offered my karambit crimson web FT (not Stattrack) and he offered his buterfly knife fade stattrack. we both accepted and it went smooth. After that trade he requested some adds because of the web placement or something as he's seen the knife in game. We negotiated a bit, and then he started ATTACKING me to send him his knife back and "nothing will be wrong" I didnt understand what the heck was going onm he didnt even explain it was his mistake, that he THOUGHT my knife was STATTRACK. I didn't really understand him what was he accusing me of? It was just a trade that I was happy with and didn't want to reverse it. It was 100% his mistake - HE DIDN'T check my knife was not stattrak and he procedeed with the trade. I removed him from friends, as I didn't want him to rage at e and force me to reverse the trade WITHOUT giving me an explanation as to why.

    This was clearly his fault of not being cautios and not paying atention to what he is trading. I didn't do anything wrong, I just didn't want to reverse the trade - which is not "illegal". AT NO POINT in my trading carrer have I ever owned a Stattrak Karambit crimson web field tested - I can prove it by screenshoting every single trade I have made so far in my carer, just to get rid of this false report. I have included a screnshoot of the trades I made that day for the karambit cw (ft not stattrak) and the trade with him. Please let mi know if it's necessary to include any more proof. If the "victim" was speaking any truth about my "quick switch" he would have at least included proof that I owned a stattrack karambit crimson web FT in my inventory, but clearly he cannot, as I NEVER had one.

    Please take care of this as soon as possible, as it's affecting my trading, and be sure to let me know if you need any proof.

    I'm siding with the accused here - I see no evidence of a scam and the request to trade back wasn't a valid one.
    No formal agreement on the initial trade would suggest intent to scam.
    If mistakes were made its from not verifying the proper trade.
    Archiving.
