Dealing with the cyber world in an inebriated condition is not advised by most veterans, as things may get messy more often than not. In a recent tweet, popular streamer Jake Lucky once again pointed out why you should always stay sharp when you’re on the Internet. In the tweet, we are baffled to learn that one CS: GO trader may have ruined his retirement fund simply because he decided to act while drunk.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has one of the biggest active communities in the gaming world, where thousands, if not millions of people, interact with each other daily to play or trade rare items online. Being intoxicated does not help under such circumstances, especially where real money is involved.

CS:GO offers players tons of customization options for their characters as well as for weapons. Long-time players of the game pride themselves on their achievements and also love to show off the rare items that they have collected over the years. Many of these items are of high value in terms of real money. The CS:GO community also hosts a huge number of traders who are always looking to flip such rare items to make a profit for themselves.

One such item of high value is the ST FN AK Vulcan 4x Mixed Katowice 2014 Holo, which is estimated to be valued at $20,000. One trader managed to come under the spotlight recently as he accidentally sold the said rare item for $2,000, allegedly under the influence of wine! The 2014 Katowice sticker is considered a s collectible and even if the speculated price of the item is not as high, it can go on sale for as much as $15,000 in most cases.

Community can’t decide what to make of the deal

The CS:GO community went berserk as the news spread, highlighting the potential $18,000 loss the trader had to withstand. Popular YouTuber, Twitch streamer, and CS:GO player Jake Lucky took to Twitter to express his baffled mood as he tipped the news to his followers, who couldn’t contain their laughter under the post.

Jake went the length and hoped that the trader finds at least some peace from the deal. In his tweet, Jake said “RIP“, hinting that such a deal-gone-south would invariably make even death seem like a better choice for the trader. However, the trader may also have been confused because many similar AK 47 skins on CSGO are often valued at $2,000.
