but if the base item is $0.05... shouldn't the corrupted be like $2-3? http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/570/Ancipitous%20Strike%20of%20the%20Parasol's%20Sting

there are other corrupted items for that price.

you can create corrupted items with that gem. so a $0.05 item + that gem is worth like ... less than the gem itself, since you are kinda "wasting it" on it (would be more valuable on a rare/mythical item).

those items are in the market because noone would ever pay that nonsense price.

Corrupted is not a valuable effect, as it does nothing of note (did they ever re-implement the tracking of daemon kills?) and is not visible in game. The only reason why anyone would be interested in something "corrupted" is because adding it to an item makes it marketable & tradeable, even if it's an item that should not normally be that. The main reason why we're seeing corrupted items sold at a very high price seem to be because there are one or two on the market of those items with the "corrupted" property added and someone hopes that some poor sucker ends up buying it.

Well you seem to be ignorant of Dota 2 Market. I'd explain, but I think it's useless since you don't even play Dota 2.

Those items you have are useless. Sell them for a measly 0.5 USD. And that's an overestimate of value.

I'd say 0.01 but nobody will listen anyway.

To be quite honest, I only get items I want for characters I play. The items you have is for Queen of Pain, I've never touched her in my Dota 2 career.

Thank you for your kind intention though.

Pretty sure they won't.

At best, they will block scammer from trading.

Like Valve said - in most cases they need to create clone of that knife, because scammer usually sells it ASAP and if they would take it away, then person who bought it would be the one with loss, which in turns means will be now 2 same knives. And in turn that could be used to clone million of knives.

They once tried that in TF2, turned out suddenly everyone was scammed or get items stolen (can't remember which one it was, but for one of those they were giving item you had in Vintage Quality - and suddenly they were receiving scam/theft reports from hundreds of people).

Well, in that case you can try. They will probably write "all trades are final", but you can try anyway.

Valve has two very bad choices here:
Clone the item and risk permanent damage to the market
or
Don't return the item and let people get hurt by scammers

Neither are good, but due to the problems they've had with the former (as listed above) they've opted to use the later.

You want to keep the item, but valve does not want to wreck its economy, which would impact at the very least all the other people who has the item, and possibly the economy as a whole as faith in "valuables" goes down. Think of items like money: The more of it there are in circulation, the less valuable it becomes. And if people decide that they have no faith in money, the value crashes (see: Current situation in Zimbabwe)

Well, here is the problem:
Valve cares more about the entirety of its userbase than about individual users. Thus they won't help an individual user (you in this case) if it would hurt the rest of its userbase (in this case other CS players), unless they have a very good reason for doing so.

They've also posted guides on how to "not get scammed" saying that if you don't follow these guides, it's your own fault.

You must be the troll or 12 year old boy...
Because grown up people read about Valve rules and ToS.
So let's make it quick, you not going to get your items back.
