What happened? Description:

I was playing in a Casual Dust2 server, when a user named Purp added me shortly before I left. I reluctantly accepted, and he offered a cash trade for my ST FN Damascus Steel Falchion Knife. Initially, I declined, but I mentioned wanting to trade my knife + cash for a better one. Subsequently, he offered to pay me 95% for the knife via PayPal. After a bit of consideration, I went through with it and sent a trade offer - warning him about an impending trade ban if he tried to pull anything. Immediately, it was accepted and he said he was sending the money...and nothing followed. He blocked me and changed his profile name & picture.​

?

[12:09 AM]
Purp:

for cash

[12:09 AM]
bLa:
nty

[12:09 AM]
Purp:
alrighty
have a good night

[12:09 AM]
bLa:
however
i am looking to do something along those lines

[12:09 AM]
Purp:
wdym

[12:10 AM]
bLa:
i would sell it & pay cash for a st marble fade/p1 doppler

[12:10 AM]
Purp:
so u would
sell it to me
but u want me to have a doppler to sell to u?

[12:11 AM]
bLa:
basically

[12:11 AM]
Purp:
hm
that wouldnt be very smart tho
like im trying to help u out as well here
if u just sell me the falchion
then u can put that money towards a doppler
and buy it yoursef
rather than paying me
and u would get the doppler right away rather than waiting 7 days to buy it off me

[12:12 AM]
bLa:
i may do so in the future

[12:13 AM]
Purp:
so you wouldnt be interested in selling the falchion like tonight

[12:13 AM]
bLa:
nah

[12:13 AM]
Purp:
damn ok
just dont know if i will have the cash
any other time ya know

[12:15 AM]
bLa:
understandable

[12:15 AM]
Purp:
ye

[12:15 AM]
bLa:
but for me, using a default knife is like

[12:15 AM]
Purp:
if u sell me it tonight i will give u extra $
0_0

[12:15 AM]
bLa:
how much

[12:16 AM]
Purp:
so originally i do 85%
but if u sell me now
i do 95%
bc i will still make profit but not as much

[12:16 AM]
bLa:
so that'd be what? $170? $180?
idk the concrete value of my knife

[12:16 AM]
Purp:
i believe so lemme check
its actually
200
vs 180

[12:17 AM]
bLa:
i was also accounting for the 95%
so in reality, 95% would be $190

[12:19 AM]
Purp:
no
its 210
i go by steam market value
95% is 199.15
and i rounded up for ya
to 200

[12:20 AM]
bLa:
200...

[12:20 AM]
Purp:
no sir
stat trak falchion damascus
fac new
209.11

[12:21 AM]
bLa:
oh i was referring to your offer
in a contemplative manner

[12:21 AM]
Purp:
got ya
but i mean ur helping me out by selling to me tonight
so i help u out

[12:28 AM]
Purp:
so what u thinking

[12:28 AM]
bLa:
i might actually buy a flip knife black laminate
only $230 bitskins
your offer becomes increasingly enticing

[12:29 AM]
Purp:
and i dont wanna waste your time but i dont go first with cash trades, my reasoning is that i was scammed for a karambit ruby back in the day about 2 years ago so i told myself i cant go first on any trades
but i do have multiple comments and people who can refer me that prove i am no scammer
and in fact send the money

[12:29 AM]
bLa:
what's your cashrep

[12:29 AM]
Purp:
i do not have a cash rep sadly
tbh ive done like 4 cash deals
ngl
im a big trader of skins

[12:30 AM]
bLa:

[12:30 AM]
Purp:

wait why?
did valve like ban it

[12:30 AM]
bLa:
ya the group is gone

[12:30 AM]
Purp:
wtf
f✿✿✿ valve
frl tho
valve is so s✿✿✿ xD
and steam in general

[12:31 AM]
bLa:
bc technically skins don't have monetary value, and we don't own them

[12:31 AM]
Purp:
steam is a multi billion dollar company yet it cant run for more than 5 mins -_-

[12:31 AM]
bLa:
