Hello SteamGifts users

Recently i got a csgo skin (Knife) from a trade (15 days hold)

I don't play csgo and don't need steam wallet so i decide to trade it for csgo keys
Most traders offer to buy it 12-14 csgo case key although the skins cost ~ 40$ on the market
my problem is i get a lot of random adds on steam and they offer 16-20 case key (but) they want me to send the knife to admin (middleman) to check it if its bugged?

Is middleman a try to scam me? how i can check if the skin bugged?

Thank you for help

Is Csgolounge a scam site?

View Results
YES
NO
A lot of potato scammers

Not an expert on CSGO trading community, but I expect to be a lot of scammers around

Middlemen are only to be used when dealing with high value items in exchange for cash, and obviously you don't get the middleman he requests, you get a trusted known one from steamrep.

You probably should use OPskins for that sort of trades...

"Middleman to check if it's bugged" is a very common scam.

Actual middlemen can be found on SteamRep, and often they'll simply have a friend impersonate one and add you. Real middlemen will never add you.

CSGOLounge is legit, but lots and lots of people on it are scammers.

14 keys for $40 sounds like a fair offer, you need to remember SteamMarket uses GabenTax, which isn't counted in key trades.

https://csgostash.com/skin/667/Shadow-Daggers-Safari-Mesh - here you can check how much your knife is worth.

Middleman usually means scam.

Also, that tip about "never trading outside of Steam Trade Window" - unfortunately it's bullshit, Valve changed their policies and will NEVER give you your items back. So if someone gives you keys and then chargeback them, poof, they disappear and you WILL NOT get your knife back :(

The site say its 14-50 ,, so i think offer >14 should be fine
i will take the keys and they must be tradable, i'm not sure of what you say but thank you for the warn

You need to looke on the Grade. Factory New = not Minimal Wear
edit: for you this line is the one that matters:
Field-Tested 36,26€ 24 35,99€ 27 26,48€ 27,98€ 14 Keys

Why is people voting YES?
CSGOLounge is not a scam site as far as I know
Maybe it contains some scammers but the site itself is legit.
People need to get more information about all the trading stuff that happens around the community market.
But roulette sites like CSGOLotto, CSGOWild and others, heck, those I dont really know but with all the news about tmartn and prosyndicate, well, those you shouldnt trust at all

well, it's a betting site, that allows minors to place bets, so that already means the site is not legit

I understand that, but the issue became a problem because it went out of control
At least, I never had a problem with this gambling sites, never put money or anything there...
I know this is not a good argument to discuss but, man, valve should have put more of them in this issue after the arms deal update

I'm not sure what you're saying.
But, just because you weren't a victim, doesn't mean they weren't doing wrong.

What I mean is, this "betting stuff" went out of control and people lost control too
Yeah, I used to bet stuff, and yeah sometimes I got better skins and some other I lost everything, but I never went full greedy putting money on this, I only used the skins that the game dropped.

But yeah, what you say is also true.

unrestricted and unregulated gambling has a tendency to go out of control. Hence the need for regulations

If things look more complicated than they should, and you don't understand, what is going on - bugged skin? - I would not do the trade.

Don't trust them, yeah! Also, congrats on getting the Shadow Daggers. Been trying to get them for a while! :)

I can suggest you to put on your offer for it on reddit (GlobalOffensiveTrade) it is more serious trading than cslounge.

Also site SteamAnalyst shows that your knife is 16 keys worth.

I already own the game, but here is a bump for you anyhow.:)

Unfortunately, the only CSGO item I have is a Falchion Case that was given to me in a trade for a coupon I was offering for free (before the stupid trade hold went into effect and made coupon trading useless for me). I have no idea what's in it, as I don't own the game.

Who knows? I may end up playing CSGO someday, just to see what the hoopla is about. It's not really my cup of tea, however, so it won't be any time soon.;)

You'd need to buy key for around $2.5 to open it.
But if you give it like 2 years, your case should be worth like $1.

Ah! So that is what all these keys are that are being talked about. Thanks for letting me know.:)
