You may have noticed a couple items in my Item Showcase before I sold my CS:GO collection: AWP | Dragon Lore (Factory New) and Bayonet | Fade (Factory New). These items have the name tags of "Kainoa's Gambit" and "Kainoa's Regret" respectively. On September 5, 2014, I attempted to trade with a user from CS:GO Lounge for an AWP | Dragon Lore (Factory New). This user, whose username will go unmentioned, has a first name of Kainoa. After I sent the Paypal payment, the user ceased communication, and even attempted to fight the Paypal dispute that followed.

After I spoke with the police from his city and called his mother at work, he reinitiated contact with me. We made an arrangement for the AWP and the knife (as a bonus for the hassle) to be transferred to my account, and I cancelled the dispute and stop-payment on the transaction. These items will forever bear the monikers of "Kainoa's Gambit" and "Kainoa's Regret" to symbolize a lesson learned.

The collection I sold contained all 37 container series (with all three version of Container Series #8) and keys to open them, all 9 music kits, all 189 stickers, all 300 guns skins, and all 7 fade knives in the game as of December 16, 2014. The collection sold to an anonymous buyer on that date for $7500. Check out the Kotaku article here .
