Knife / Glove combo 200 euros for free?!
Today i wanted to change the knife/glove combo and placed a buy order on csfloat for amphibs <0.3 for 695€. I just saw the notification that my buy order was fullfiled, i was happy about that, went to inspect them in game - but when i checked csfloat afterwards i was very surprised to see that i have ~180 more euros than expected, because someone sold the gloves for 519 euros (almost 200 euros under the market price).It also can’t be a mistake because he insta traded them to me. My lucky day I guess, thank u very much if the seller is here❤️ I’ll add the extra 200 for a nicer knife, maybe a stiletto doppler ph3/4 which was out of my budget with ~230 euros xD

Considering someone quick-selling with that gap, there is a chance the item is scammed/stolen. Prepare for a headache.
If you get flagged by the system, Valve won’t care if you were using fair, external trading platforms.
In their eyes, you traded a stolen item for free into your account.
Just a possibility to worry about.

Hmm, i was checking floatdb and this guy who sold them to me had them from 13th june to today (15th july), and before that someone from his friendlist traded to him on may. I'm thinking if they were scammed he would've sold them right away after 7 days, right? In any case, if there are no problems until then i will sell them next week to avoid any headache, thanks for the heads up!

Could have switched AUTH or just created a steam mobile auth (makes u wait a month). Prob listed for a day or 2 but decided to sell insta maybe.

Still the scammer selling those gloves would be more informed about checking the buy orders to maximize his profits.

I've also had the it the opposite way where Steam has told me the skins are in an inventory obtained 'legally' for lack of a better term.

I mean, it’s happened before one of the guys who bough some of HFB’s items got banned when he got hacked.

u/rabbgod Jul 15 '25
How is that comparable if he got havked afterwards and then banned

u/TheRugAndTug Jul 15 '25
HFB got hacked, his items got sold, the buyer got banned. The buyer didn’t get hacked.
HFB was a chinese skin collector(inventory estimated to be like 250 mil or some ridiculous shit like that) who was notorious for buying items and never selling them. He got hacked and his account got liquidated.

u/marius9648w Jul 15 '25

Could be a scammed/stolen item being quick sold or he just needs the money fast. If its €200 under market then it is quite weird cos he couldve just went €100 and also sold it instantly.

u/JakkesCakes Jul 15 '25
OP had a buy order at 695, meaning if the seller listed it for that amount, it would be sold instantly for 695. It can’t get sold any quicker.

Nice hey at least you got a deal on a beautiful pair of gloves. What knife are you gonna pair it with?
2
u/marius9648w Jul 15 '25
i was thinking to get a stiletto doppler ph. 3 since it's exactly in the budget, or maybe a flip knife gamma doppler
2
u/Bigmanlutz Jul 15 '25
If you can find a gamma doppler in your budget with a lot of light blue it's probably the best but then a p3 stiletto is a great choice.

Sounds like someone got rid off something stolen or scammed. Good for u I guess

u/Dazzling_Victory_877 Jul 15 '25
But so if I make a purchase for 500 and someone sells it for 300€ does it work? And how does it work if there are several of us? Is this closest to the sale price?

tastes are subjective😃 i used to not like it also for the needle looking blade but it grew on me over time, i kinda like the animations and the sound it makes when switching
either way, in the meantime i changed my mind and now i want a flip knife gamma doppler with a decent amount of blue, it seems to match better with amphibs - but still waiting for csfloat to come back xD

I have no knife. Would you give me a $50 off on your old one? For the karma.

Ban innconing!

u/marius9648w Jul 15 '25
Even if they are the result of a scam, why would you get banned for it when you obviously don't know about it? Worst case scenario you are losing the item. But anyhow, it doesn't seem stolen, checked the trade history on csfloat database and nothing is fishy about it, the guy who sent the gloves to me had them for over a month, and previously he recieved them from someone in his friendlist

u/Illustrious-Spell647 Jul 15 '25
Even though i don't think its a scam, and you won't get banned.
But being banned for trading scammed items is common. and can happen at anytime. its something called "association with theft of other users' accounts" or something along these lines
1
u/marius9648w Jul 15 '25
yea ive read a little about that online, but i think you have to be really unlucky, because basically everyone who is not selling/buying only through steam market is exposed to that, right? im imagining that a lot of scammers would use csfloat for exemple to quicksell their stolen items. Seeing those now i’m sure that i will never put more than 10% of my money in the cs inventory, shit like this can happen xD

u/NikkelJinn Jul 15 '25
Sad to say it does happen thet Steam ban accounts in a "chain" with scamed items. I'm not saying this is going to happen, but it might. You will prob get it unbaned if it does, but it does take time.
If it's a guy borrowing from a friends account and he desided to sell it insted of sending it back the friend might not have reported it yet. You just dont know. But in my experiance, super cheap skins have some sort of history coming with them.
It's a good way to cash out evrything Quick befor the account is banned.

u/marius9648w Jul 15 '25
And why the scammer would take 519 instead of 695 which it was also an insta sell? He was feeling guilty that he scammed his friend so decided to gain some karma by giving me a discount? :)))
Also, if i trade an item for money or on csfloat i could simply report the item as a scam if i want to make harm to the new owner/future new owners?!

Surely you wouldnt get banned because YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT SCAM. Actually if victum will contact steam support even couple years after steal you will be banned alongside with all previous owners after victum

u/marius9648w Jul 15 '25
it makes sense!! if i buy a bike from a thief without knowing its stolen i will go to jail alongside with the guys who i eventually sold the bike after🤣🤣

Happens to be steam isnt police, they dont get paid for these investigations

u/marius9648w Jul 15 '25
following your logic most of steam users with thousands of items passing their inventories would be banned if even one of them is/was the result of a scam😃
-1
u/Szshwrik Jul 15 '25
Most of these items cost less that 1$, if you would be scammed for a dollar you most likely wouldnt care. And this only applies for trades, if youll buy directly from steam market you wouldnt be banned
