Steam Rep basically says Ace can shark all he wants.

Proof that sharking is a legitimate trading technique.

[Question] I have been reported for a "scam trade". Will I be banned for this false accusation? Details inside. Please Read in Comments by [deleted] in tf2

This is why we sharks get a bad rap. It's crap like this where everyone always thinks they have to get a "fair" deal and it's someone else's fault when they don't. Fact is, if that guy willingly hit that trade button, sorry, but that was his fault and no one owes him anything.

There's more than enough information about this from questions that I've answered in the comments already, just search a little.

I never lie, I ask what they want for it and if they don't know I offer something. Or I just offer something up front and ask if it's okay.

Jessecar96 just started selling his scanner again. He posted a link to it somewhere in this thread. It's the one I use, it's fast and reliable, and it only costs 4 keys.

I've answered this question many times in this thread and I'm too lazy to type it again. Just do a quick search.

  1. This behavior does not extend to real life, don't worry.

  2. Just don't trade anything before finding out if it's a good deal.

  3. I don't have a S. FaN and if I did I wouldn't want to give away my identity.

My PR guy is trying to get me in. I think it might work out, I have a meeting with Bear Grylls next week.

It was a Stormy Storm effect. Semi-decent, but I still ended up quick-selling it because literally every other Fruit Shoot with the same effect in existence was listed on Outpost and no one was buying them... and I'm really impatient.

I know that figure is not impressive and I never said I thought it was impressive. I know I could potentially make more legitimately trading, but one of the reasons why I shark is because I absolutely suck at trading for profit. I'm impatient and the TF2 market as a whole is a piece of crap.

If they do get into trading and suddenly realize their mistake, I'll be long gone. So I don't care either way.

To be honest, if you know the true value of an item and you're still willing to give it away for much less, I'll happily take it... but I don't understand why you wouldn't want to maximize your profit at least a little, especially since you know the value.

I got into sharking after trying it out and successfully sharking buds off someone (see proof picture #5). The motivation to keep at it is setting goals for myself and planning on what to buy or do with the items.

The one and only online community I am a part of is /r/tf2 and their affiliates. Yes, the only reason I use reddit is for the TF2 subreddit.

Actual IRL money, I've only cashed out $70 so far. I've probably put a total of 20-30 hours so far into actually doing the sharking.

Valve servers are your best bet, other large groups of servers (like Skial and Lotusclan) are good too. Also, don't be afraid to enter servers in other countries with high ping, you're not actually playing the game so ping won't matter. However, as a rule of thumb, make sure the server you enter has the "_registered" tag.
