You know you could have just reopened your old thread after removing the names instead of making a new one.

Ah, him again. On one hand, don't worry, he is kind of a certified village idiot around here.
On the other hand, he was right in one thing: Frozen Synapse Prime for Spy Chameleon is a good deal, and for you. Base price is one thing, but Frozen Synapse Prime keys worth exactly nothing. They are about as worthless as an Uncrowded key.

I just love the drama i found here... I'd just advise to keep calm and not retaliate in kind.

I hope he does understand that he cannot get everything he asks... I mean like he probably thinks he could trade 0.01 $ game for 60 $ game, just because he wants it...(not saying anything about frozen not= spy chamelon, but him thinking he can give you any game he wants..)

lol, looks like you guys misunderstood each other... but as many people of us (me as well), arn`t native english speakers, things like that can happen...
how ever: you can blame him for adding you to his friendlist, but not for scamming^^

For people saying konrad misunderstood WWKBER:
If konrad was such an experienced trader, he should've know better that when you add someone for a trade, you better confirm: "X for Y, right?". If the answer is a "Yes, I confirm", then its a confirmed a trade. You can send your key already if you want. If you want to be a bit more cautious, you can proceed with "Ok, are you ready to trade?". If the answer is "No", you play a game and wait for a bit. If the answer is "Yes", anytime you can send your key. You can even ask a few more things for a smoother trade, like "Who go first?", "Just to make sure, your game is a key?". Then after you activate it, say "It works, here is mine key 54C0B-DCZYJ-YFPLZ".
Trading games is not dealing drugs. You don't have to do it so fast nobody will notice. Be nice. Have patience. Its not because you have 2398293 games for trade and 10949209 +rep that you are the Mr. Overlord Prince Perfect Trader Of The Universe. You don't have more authority than anyone for trading for a longer time. You are not the traders representative. You are not the trading games reference on the internet. You are not a dealing pioneer. This idea some people have is what leads them to false trade feedbacks and rudeness, "You didn't deal with the trade as I was expecting you to, so I will -rep you". Not every trader speaks perfect english, so if you feel like, ask things twice, three times, in different ways, so you make sure you are on agreement.
And avoid sending the key right away after someone said they agree with the trade on your SG topic just because they accepted you on Steam. Misunderstandings happens, and nobody is to blame. And even if that happens (you send a key after you misunderstood an agreement), solve it with the user. Have faith in him, ask him to not use the key, and continue trying to trade it. If in the future another user says the key was used, if there was no other possible reason for it, then yes, you were probably scammed.
I had a key of mine in "hold" for weeks, because in the middle of the trade the other trader realized he had traded his game already. I only asked him to not use mine. And he never did, as I was able to trade the game later with success.

To me it seems like the other guy is trying to force a trade by threatening -rep. That is more likely the scam. I'd -rep his ass for trying to pull those shitty bullying tactics.
Anyone else who stumbles on this thread. Its not a scam just because a trade falls through or doesn't happen.

Then OP would be in trouble too. Trade feedback is only for concluded deals, negative only when you lost items and got nothing or not the agreed-upon compensation in return. One of the most common mistakes is trying to used for canceled or failed deals, but it shouldn't. (And the opposite: +rep should never be added for anyone who you won a game from.)
Comment has been collapsed.
To me, someone trying to force you to give up a key under threat is a scam attempt. I've never had a need to -rep anyone, I have been fortunate to have very good trading partners, but if someone was clearly trying to scam me I would report it.
That is not to say you aren't right. You probably are and I'd get in trouble for it.

Attempted scam, could be. But that is not even a criminal offence in most countries: con men can only be arrested when they catch them in the act, after the scam has taken place. The problem is that it is difficult to prove without catching the other one red-handed, and letting an attempt be a reportable offence would mean anyone could just twist any trade-related conversation into a report stating they were about to be scammed.

I completely understand your statement. He said Frozen Synapse is the only interesting game on offer. The only problem I see is the comma in the wrong space. It should read. "Yes you can get frozen synapse with cards or game, as you like :))" My interpretation is you are willing to trade your game for cards or another game. In no way did you agree to any sort of deal.
Comment has been collapsed.
That yes means "I can trade frozen synapse with you (for cards or game)" not "I can trade frozen synapse for spy chameleon", that's why I add "you can get frozen synapse with cards or game" after. Or I won't mention cards if I already agreen frozen synapse for spy chameleon. I'm not a native English speaker so sometimes there may be miscommunication, but this guy directly -rep me for scam.

Even if someone accepts an offer, then changes their mind that is not a scam attempt.
Not saying that is what happened here, its not. But this is clearly your point of view. And even if you were right, that is not a scam attempt. That is someone changing their mind. It happens.

You can argue that he did, even if it is debatable both on your and his favour. But negative feedback can only be added if you lost an item and got nothing in return (or not what you agreed upon). Since you never posted a key, you couldn't lose anything, so your negative feedback will earn you a suspension according to the site rules. You managed to earn suspensions only for forum misbehaviour, but if you are adamant on keeping that false feedback on his profile, that will ruin your reputation as a trader.

"Yes, you can get frozen synapse with cards or game as you like :))"
Okay thanks for highlighting. So konrads, did you want to trade a game or cards for Frozen Synapse? All OP said was he would take offers of either. You made your offer, he rejected. Please tell me where OP agreed to trade Frozen Synapse for Spy Chamelon, because the screenshot only shows where he told you he DIDN'T agree to that deal.

I believe that every time there is a proof of abusing feedback system, a user who abused it should get an instant ban.
Comment has been collapsed.
finally, it is not cool that support deleting negative comments. scammers will use it to do for example oce peer year "good deals". negative comments should be pernament. who will have friend in support will not have negative feedback. bad idea.
Comment has been collapsed.
The problem here, the part that you are repeatedly not getting, is YOU misused the feedback system. There was no scam. Please show me a screenshot where you sent him your key and received nothing in return. All he did was reject a deal. How many deals have you rejected konrads?

Thats Konrad , dont pay him much attention .
on the side note Tho your logic behind Games trade value is kinda silly to say the least :)
The steam price of the game has nothing to do with the value of the game .
A game can be worth 100$ on steam , and then be part of a 10 games 1$ bundle .
Same time a game can be 5$ on steam , and be part of 5 game 2.99$ bundle .
You think the 100$ game worth more :? not quite :)
Just a friendly tip.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this way. Really dislike "must be of equal value" thing that some traders do, but that's me. Also, Spy Chameleon is actually pretty fun :D.

Man, I don't have enough popcorn for all of this.
That being said, I've traded with both of you and they went smoothly. This just looks like a miscommunication, not a scam.

My pies just went cold for the second time. Hopefully this thread will die down a bit so I won't have to reheat them a third time.

Looks like a simple miscommunication to me, I can see both sides points, especially assuming one of them speaks english as a second language.
If the person who left the feedback thinks the whole conversation is about spy chameleon, when you said yes about frozen synapse then he could interpret it as you saying yes, you will trade frozen synapse for spy chameleon.
On the flip side, they were overreacting in leaving warning feedback, especially since you never told them to send the key or anything.

Dude, no worry - just report him. I got negative rep from
Past1rma since I wrote in my own post two words "fuck no" comment. He gave me a negative comment since I was impolite in my own thread, next time you get a -rep if you write wtf...
So ofc there are many "special" people out there, and I hope the reports go trough.

Aww, why does all the fun stuff happen when I'm busy ;_;.
But ya, that fella is of a special kind and I'm sorry for your experience. Trading can be a headache at times :/.

If you know the type, it's simple: if you know a typical loud guy who isn't a bad person, but you always feel you'd rather not be in his presence… that is similar. It's often considered a low-level trolling, although it's more like just an obnoxious personality with no real malicious intent. He has been suspended a number of times for being genuinely annoying on the forums, but nothing actually offensive of rule-breaking.

The sad truth is that it's not really if you live in certain regions. Political correctness is one thing, but apart from the developed countries, it is not the reality. (Not to mention that what you linked could be the official government statement in many countries on that issue, and not just in extremist Islamic or African dictatorships.)

I have a thread in trade section http://www.steamgifts.com/trade/jhMiC/h-bundle-games-w-4-5-cards-gems-refs-and-offers
and today this man come to my thread and leave a message:
http://i.imgur.com/L8dKSV5.png
As I don't have the game, I answered:
http://i.imgur.com/9gPWcog.png
The man reply that he want frozen synapse instead:
http://i.imgur.com/OZtohz4.png
I answered:
http://i.imgur.com/wUCAWnu.png
And of course, spy chameleon is 4.99 euros and my frozen synapse is 22.99 euros, They are all bundled games and not worth the money but it's clearly the base price is far from equal.
This "game" means other game of equal price. I mean he can trade my frozen synapse with a certain amount of cards or a key of game, but I never said that's his spy chameleon. I never tell him to give me his key of spy chameleon for my frozen synapse.
The man then add me on steam, here is our chat, he said that I try to scam him?!
http://i.imgur.com/lkfQj7j.png
Of course I won't trade frozen synapse with him, it's totally not equal, and he say that I try to scam him, and leave me a negative:
http://i.imgur.com/Co4yvvj.png
How I scam? I just tell him that he can trade frozen synapse with cards or game, but the "game" is an equal game, I never said spy chameleon for frozen synapse, I never see any of his code, and I even don't have scamed for anything, and he negative me for scam? I think this is really a stupid thing.
So what should I do? Send a ticket to admin? I think this is very unfair for me, scam? I even don't get anything from him!
(no name in pic now so this is allowed?)
Edit: Just send a ticket.
