UNCONFIRMED BUG: Double-posting items
I don't know if this is a bug or not, but I can double-list certain items, like[puu.sh] this[puu.sh], which are two different trades.

Like you said, they are two different trades.

Yeah, but I have no clue if OP should function like this or it's a bug,

Well, the whole purpose of the "list each item only once" is to prevent relisting them in different trades ;-). As you can see from the original trades the shortstop was modified after it has been listed in the first trade, apparently outposts relist check only takes the current id into account. I dont think its that big deal, i mean who e.g. attaches a tag or paints an item just to be able to list it in a second trade?

Something about relisting

Okay, didn't know that's how OP and the API worked. Also shortened so my puny text doesn't really seem irrelevent to yours.

This is not a bug however that doesn't mean it's allowed. It is still considered relisting and you will be punished if you're caught.

The reason it works like this is because every time you make a change to an item (add a tag, paint it, trade it etc) a new current ID is assigned to it and TF2Outpost only compares current IDs when creating a new trade and checking for items already used in trades.

I know it's not allowed on Outpost (in fact the only reason why it's in that trade is to show; otherwise I "blanked" it out on that trade). Thank you for clarifying that it uses outdated IDs, and it allows the new ID'd item to be relisted.
