Just got screwed by a Steam bug

Here's my email to steam explaining the issue:

"There appears to be a bug that has just cost me $100. I had an M9 Bayonet Night Battle Scarred in my inventory. I purchased an AK 47 Case Hardened Minimal Wear, which appeared in my inventory list in game. I right clicked on the AK 47, clicked Sell In Marketplace, it brought up the standard pop up with graph, I listed the item for $28.45, and the Window disappeared. I look at my inventory, and the M9 Bayonet Night is gone, yet the AK 47 is still there. Before I could go and cancel the sale, the knife was sold (basically instantly)."

If you google this you will see it has happened to a bunch of people. So unfair. Just glad it wasn't my karambit.

oh no, not you too!

This is a known bug with the Steam Client and there has been no fixes AFAIK. On reddit, people advise using their website instead of the client. Do you have a screens? You may be able to contact Steam support about it.

I know i've read about it too, and said yeah right, bullshit.

Then it happened to me.

No screens :/ It was actually a $85 loss. I mean, it's not the end of the world, it's just a lot of time went into making that money. Was really buggin' to buy a Glock Fade with that shit! Ah well, time to get back at it I guess.

Never sell in game... if you want to sell something, get off game and sell trough the Steam client.
Always double-check the name and picture.

I almost got screwed up twice as well, but I always check and double check stuff when selling or buying...

Typical Steam Support faggotry.

I'm lucky I can no longer buy/sell on the Market while in-game. Every time I try to, it says 'Cookies must be enabled'. :lolwut: If there even wa such a setting for it, I'd have changed up the browser a long time ago.

Another way you could prevent mistake from happening is by having 'filler' in-between your high-priced goods. Find a way to purchase a crate, a $.10 cent weapon, and keep the knifes/high priced guns separate from each other. Less likely to make a mistake, or more possible, less likely to get fucked by the steam lag.

My inventory's in such a perfect order, the most I'll ever lose is a SWAG-7 Bulldozer or a case. :shiteatinggrin:
