Hello,
Long time TF2 player here. Haven't been active in the community for many years now as I'm in my 30's now and moving on with life.
I recently made my TF2 inventory public and received a message from a Steam user asking to buy my entire backpack for $800 on PayPal.
Since I haven't been a part of the community for a long time, I wanted to come back home to teamfortress.tv to ask for advice on whether or not this sounds like a safe trade offer.
Can anyone chime in to give me advice?
Here is the user making the offer:

That user looks sketchy with only about $140 in current items and zero trust on backpack.tf... not much on the line if he scams you and gets trade banned.

He changed his custom url, here's the working one: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197998647224
He got all of his unusuals from here: https://stntrading.eu/profiles/76561197998647224
For me it looks like he bought them just to put them on his steam profile to look "trustable".
"Hey look I'm a serious trader, I have unusuals to trade"
No tradelink, profile comments disabled, all of profile badges were obtained in a span of few days, so it's a no-no

Great find, that's really suspicious he changed his custom URL He probably found this thread and was trying to hide again.
Out of caution I went ahead and reported his account on Steam.
Thanks for the feedback everyone, I appreciate you all.

i can also vouch for cashout.tf. the guy I sold my stuff to on there (thi3fling/mr.biggums) was insanely thorough, advised me on getting the best conversion rates and did a bank transfer that went through the next working day.
