He's trying to sell a balloonicorn for upwards of 5 keys. Not a scam attempt, just a really extreme highball.
EDIT: According to the chat history, anyways.

8:45 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: Hi.
8:45 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: Got a sec?
8:45 PM - Blakey: Sure
8:45 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: You submitted a report on Maulman at Skial about scamming.
8:46 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: I'd like to know some of the details.
8:46 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: From what somebody else said it seemed more like extreme highballing than actual scamming.
8:47 PM - Blakey: He said he was selling a baloonicorn
8:47 PM - Blakey: So i invited him into a trade and offered stuff
8:47 PM - Blakey: He said you reliaze that the baloonicorn is worth like 15 keys
8:47 PM - Blakey: I said its not worth that your trying to scam someone
8:48 PM - Blakey: He said no its worth that much check spreadsheet
8:48 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: Sounds like highballing so far.
8:48 PM - Blakey: Mostly
8:48 PM - Blakey: I didnt know how to say it though
8:49 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: Looks like about 12-13 keys roughly by straight dollar value.
8:49 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: So asking for 15 keys is... a little bit of highballing, but not scamming.
8:49 PM - Blakey: Their only worth like 5 keys
8:50 PM - Blakey: at most
8:50 PM - Blakey: It wasnt genuine or anything special
8:51 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: Was he up front about what it was outside of asking for a ridiculous price?
8:51 PM - Blakey: ...?
8:52 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: Like he wasn't trying to pass off a craft balloonicorn as a genuine, right?
8:52 PM - Blakey: Oh he said it was genuine
8:52 PM - Blakey: but it wwasnt
8:52 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: Do you have any screenshots of his chat regarding this?
8:52 PM - Blakey: No sorry
8:52 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: OK...
8:53 PM - Blakey: On a trading server i would have
8:53 PM - Blakey: but it was the Death Run server
8:53 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: Did he say this in the server chat or trade chat?
8:53 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: Or on mic?
8:53 PM - Blakey: Trade
8:53 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: D'oh...
8:53 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: OK, cuz server chat I could've looked up.
8:53 PM - Blakey: Yeah ik
8:54 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: Alright... Unfortunately there's not much I can do without any incontrovertible proof. However, we'll keep an eye out for him.
8:54 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: And if you run into him again, try to get some screenshots or something.
8:54 PM - Blakey: Ok Thanks
8:54 PM - Blakey: Ok
8:54 PM - [TC]CreepingDeath [skial]: No prob.

Why is it scamming if someone asks too much for an item. I can ask $1000 for a #43 crate, if you wanna pay that much for it then yay for me.
Unlike if i TELL YOU it's WORTH $1000 bucks as per spreadsheet (Which would be a blatant lie) and you believe me (a noob) and you buy it.
If i want to ask for more then i should be able to ask for more. If you want it bad enough then you will pay, if not then find someone else.

Not as much a comment as a question
