Closed because "relist"
As you can see in the following links, I had 3 trades recently closed for being relists of a 4th trade of mine.

Here are the 3 that were closed:
http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15743702
http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15760677
http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15743741

Here's the 4th:
http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15761001

While the message/notes in the trades are identical, the trades themselves are not identical in that they feature different items I wish to buy/trade for. If I were able to list all of the items in 1 trade then I would condense these 4 trades into 1, but, as that's not possible on OP, I keep 4 trades open asking to buy/trade for 32 different items.

These trades had been opened for almost 2 years, and I would hope if it was such a problem it would have been noticed and made clear to me within a much shorter time.

I realize these trades had the same goal/purpose, but again, it was about making my goal/purpose known to people looking to sell any of the 32 items (instead of just 8) in which I had listed I was looking to buy/trade for.

If these trades are to remain closed, would opening new trades with the following message/notes be considered attempting to circumvent the rules or be grounds for closing trades with this message/these notes?
"Howdy!

I'm buying all of these for 1 ref each.

I'll buy as many as you're willing to sell.

Thanks and have a good one :3"

I'd personally prefer the original trades be reopened and I be allowed to change the message/notes to the above. This would allow my trades to keep their original date as almost 2 years ago, and allow those interested to clearly see my continued presence in the trade community.

Thanks for reading, and have a good day.

For the trades to not be considered relists, you would need to specify the price of every individual item that you are listing. So using that description would be allowed as fas as I'm concerned.

As for the reopening your trades, I'll see what I can do.

I've made the remaining trade to look like what I intend to make the others look like if they are to be reopened. http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15761001

Been almost a week now... Should I abandon hope for the trades reopening and just create new ones or had this request been forgotten?

Well, you better stick to the single trade you made, because listing the prices didnt change anything, you are still buying every random robo hat for 1 ref (which is quite pointless by itself because scrap.tf offer 1/3 more than this).

This is what the relist rule also was made for, prevent people listing the whole item schema at some random lowballing price. Stick to your single trade and good luck competing with the bot automated services offering even better prices than you.

The trades would not be reopened because you listed the same notes in every trade therefore it is considered relisting. If you are wanting to repost these trades then you need to write each title of the item and the price you are willing to pay. I must say one in particular may get closed for being unrealistic though because http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15743702 most of the hats are at least 3 ref or more. But the notes you fixed in the one trade look good and that is what needs to be done.

Thanks for the above advice, but the present point wasn't addressed (and y'all don't have authority on the site, so I'll take the views as unnecessary opinions).

The current objective of this is to reopen the other trades so that I may change the current copy-paste style of notes for the style of the sole trade of these that remains open currently so that they may retain the almost 2 years status that they had been open.

Again, with the lengthy amount of time they had been opened, they had been viewed by moderators (as can clearly be seen by the blocked posts within some of them). This brings to question; why now? Why, after such a long time of being open, were these trades closed? The previous moderators hadn't sought to even mention the trades likeness let alone close them for being relists.

As it stands, I am willing and able to change the notes as soon as the original trades are reopened.

The trades in question will not be reopened because they were in direct violation of the relisting rule. You may however create new trades with the proper format. As for the other moderators not closing the trades, I can't and will not speak for them.

Just a small note. Moderators do not actively seek trades in violation of the rules, they only act when someone reports it to them. To answer your question, why now? Simply because your trades haven't been reported before.
