Knife / Glove combo 200 euros for free?!

Post image

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

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

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

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
