Why got my trade closed?
Today my 3 month old trade http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/26797551 got closed with the reason that the items arent available from me anymore. I don't understand that, i am buying a specific strange part for 5.6 ref and at the time i bumped my trade, at the time the mod closed my trade and right now as im writing these lines i still have 6.4 ref in my backpack.

Of course, in contrast to many, many trades on outpost, i have listed the exact price on the left side, 5 ref and 2 rec. Unfortunately, because valve gives us so damn small backpacks, i can store only a limited amount of metal and therefor i usually have only refs, right now 6 refined and 4 scraps. So technically the reason to close my trade is correct, but as far as i know metal is still a form of currency and the history of my recent trades show that the users are very well aware of that fact and offered me items together with the correct amount of change.

I always have enough metal to buy each item of my trades at least once, however i sometimes check my trades mobile and accept them instantly but cant restock my metal so there might be times i dont have enough metal for a certain trade. As soon as i can i restock the metal, during that delay of course i dont freshly bump my trades, so usually my trades only get bumped one or two times a week.

This is normally not a problem because these arent high volume trades at all, and i am still a human and not a bot. However this doesnt apply to the current situation because i had and still have enough metal to buy that certain item, so isnt it a little bit of nit picking to close my trade because i dont have that listed 2 recs atm? Am i forced to switch to some of these patterns that clutter up the search results like listing only one ref on the left and write the price in the notes to avoid future closes of my trades?

The reason your trade was closed is because you didn't have enough metal at the time the report was sent/reviewed. If you did have enough then it is possible that your backpack on the site was displaying an older cache from when you had less metal and the admin didn't check your Steam Inventory. Could also be human error.

Feel free to recreate it.
