Item verification is always, 100% a scam. Glitched, illegal, or otherwise unsafe items don't exist.
I always verify your account on SteamRep and I take the rating seriously.
I will always prefer Steam trade offers to making deals through chat.
I ONLY trade with Steam inventory items, any offers regarding PayPal funds, CD keys and/or other items outside of Steam will be ignored and reported accordingly.
If you have a private profile and/or inventory, don't be surprised by me being suspicious.
"Vault" accounts and "trading profiles" are always suspicious, use Steam Guard instead.
Why should you trust me? You can't, that's why I want to trade through Steam as a safeguard for both trading parties.
