    Holy ****, I'm so stupid. Recently, people have been scammed in trades involving an item called a "Sandbox Game Shirt":
    [​IMG]
    It's an item from Rust. It's rare on the market, and listings exceed $20 USD. However, here's the catch: only a select few are marketable. That's right, not all of these items are sellable. That means the non-marketable ones are worth literally nothing. This I find really ****ing stupid, because it's created a whole pile of problems for traders.

    tl;dr If anyone offers you this item in this trade, go to his inventory and make sure it is marketable. Make sure you confirm in the trade window as well. If they are marketable, then it's 100% legit. If not, decline the trade immediately and report the bastard.

    Because I'm such a retard, I lost my AK Case Hardened ($23) and now I'm stuck with two of these ****ing things. I thought I'd get away with $40 but the world is cruel. I mean, I got that AK for free, and I don't play csgo much, but I'm still really bummed out and pissed. I don't know what to do with these useless items, other than offer them to an interested Rust player at half-market price and tell him that they're not sellable.

    Good luck out there, and have a safe trade.

    When you trade with people think it all through as most people just want to unload useless cr*p.

    Totally sucks.
