Description:
I found him on tf2outpost.com in a trade ( http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/869556 ). I offered a Sunbeam Western Wear plus 30 keys for a Sunbeam Big Country, always wanted the hat and I felt it was a very fair offer. I checked on tf2items real quick before trade and saw that the origin of the item was: traded. I have been told (incorrectly or not, please tell me) that traded doesn't mean dupped, only when the origin is steam replaced or something like that means it's dupped. After getting the hat I was investigating further and realized that it is a duped (http://www.tf2items.com/item/737651779) hat and at least 3 other ones exist in game, I asked SoDL to trade back and even offered 5 free keys if he would, and he refused and just ignored me after that point. As you can see from the text he probably knew it was dupped. I know this isn't the worst scam thats happened in the game, I just want other traders to know to be cautious with SoDL.

Thank you for any input/help. I could obviously use advice to avoid such an incident in the future. Also thanks for keeping this amazing site up and efficent!!!

Sorry, but in this situation, there is nothing we can do. But at least you ended up with a nice hat! Even if it is duped.
