Split: Hello mate.
Split: Just saw your knife on market.
Split: Are you interested in selling it for real money?
freddegreddE: ye sure if there is any safe way, what do u suggest?
Split: Well, i can do paypal/paysafecard or steam wallet mate, that's all about you.
Split: As you prefer.
Split: About the safe, you can just take a look in my inventory mate, i have over 3000 euros there, you got my reputation on my profile also, so there's just no reason for me to risk all that for an item.
Split: That would be just illogical.
freddegreddE: why do you wanna buy my knife then?
Split: Because as you can see on my profile mate, i'm buying/selling items.
freddegreddE: ofc, but you want discount?
Split: Well, we're talking about no steam part mate, as you probably know.
Split: Tell me a price, then we can discuss about it.
Split: Since the market price isn't always relevant you know, it's going up and down.
freddegreddE: okey im not sure i need cash though, so just gonna wait for it to get bought on steam. otherwise ill contact u
Split: What about steam wallet mate.
Split: That would be fine for both of us.
Split: You can just redeem the codes and use the steam market, for games, items or whatever.
freddegreddE: ok how does it work? i cant talk right now, but ill be back later. cya
Split: Well, steam wallet is about wallet codes mate, they have different values.
Split: 5/10/25/50/100 euros steam wallet codes.
Split: You do redeem them and you can get whatever you want from steam market mate.
Split: Message me when you come back, so we can talk mate.
Split: Have a good time.
Split är nu Online.
Split: Are you here now mate?
freddegreddE: yes i am
freddegreddE: so first of all, how much u wanna pay for the knife?
Split: Well, i'll ask you for a price mate, since we're talking about no steam part, market price is going up and down so fast you know, it's pretty much irrelevant.
freddegreddE: well i put it up for 185euro so thats what i would like to get paid ofcourse
Split: Well, i was thinking on something like 175-180 euros for the knife mate, so that's pretty much the same price.
Split: I would be happy with your price mate.
freddegreddE: ok 180 euro is fine by me
Split: That would be nice for me mate.
Split: Thank you.
Split: Let's do it then.
Split: Could you please take the knife off the market mate?

freddegreddE: yeah i just did. but what is the best way for trading cash?
freddegreddE: do u have swish?
Split: Well, swish is only for the swedish people if i'm not wrong mate.
Split: I would reccomend paypal, it's the simplest way mate.
Split: You can just add the funds from paypal in your steam account if you're feeling bad about the wallet codes.
freddegreddE: ok, it said u could pay with swish on your wall
Split: I had a partner that was from Sweden, but can't do that anymore, sorry mate.
freddegreddE: yeah lets skip the wallet codes
Split: I forgot to edit that.
Split: Will do that.
Split: Alright mate.
freddegreddE: alright
Split: I'll need your paypal e-mail adress please, after you double check it for sure, so we can make sure we won't have any issues.
freddegreddE: ok, [email protected]
Split: Alright, got that.
Split: How should we proceed now mate?
freddegreddE: well i need to check if the money has been transfered
Split: Well, the thing is that i'm only going first if the seller has a lot more reputation than me mate, if not, i can't take any risk.You probably saw my inventory, over 3000 euros there, you got my reputation there also, i'm just not looking to waste all my work until now for an item.
Split: That would be just illogical.
Split: And just saying mate.
Split: One more thing.
Split: If i really wanted to scam you, i could just have refunded my payment.
freddegreddE: will the money go right into my bank account?
freddegreddE: i dont use paypal much
Split: But i'm just not looking to lose all i've built until now mate.
Split: That isn't logical.
freddegreddE: ye sure i trust u
Split: Well, the money will get in your balance mate, you withdraw and it will take about 3 days to get in your card mate, if you want to withdraw it.
Split: If you want to pay something directly from paypal, it will be instantly.
Split: Can you please send me a trade offer here mate? So i can send the payment.
Split: Here is my tradelink.
Split: https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=208923448&token=ZucLM72d
freddegreddE: okey there u go
Split: Got that.
Split: Give me one second please mate.
Split: Alright, payment sent mate.It should arrive in no more than one hour, since the servers were a little bit busy.
Split: Thank you for trading with me, have a nice day!
freddegreddE: ok thank you very much
freddegreddE: could u send me some verification of the transfer?
freddegreddE: still no transfer yet :/
