It would be impossible to sort by price since different people want different things, furthermore such a sort function would require keeping track of item prices. This would require a complete redesign of the site's mechanics and kind of goes against the idea of a free market. It would also render bumps and Premium subscription useless. In short, it isn't going to happen.

I can understand the fact that people may want other items besides pure, which would not fit in with the idea I suggest, but what it means is that outpost is no longer a site for knowledgeable traders that want to deal in pure. It's for people that don't realize faster and easier to use trading sites exist, sellers that want to take advantage of people that may not know these other sites exist, or people that want to swap unusuals, trade games, etc. It's something that is going to hurt outpost.

My idea would render bumps useless, which is a feature I can't imagine anyone likes anyways. Premium accounts could still exist: if two items are being sold at the same price, the Premium user's would be listed first. Premium users could possibly have more options for search parameters to find better deals, like searching for items with strange parts or killstreaks that are being sold at discounted rates.

I realize it may not be possible due to the entire redesign aspect, but I thought I would make my opinions known since I've largely stopped using this site for these reasons.

Your post had nothing to do with the topic, it's just a rant about your feelings towards the site. If you think it's such an awful thing, why do you bother posting here? We are not your personal blog, if you have any constructive criticism then you are welcome to post it, otherwise just keep it to yourself.

OP: norby pretty much summarized why this will not be implemented. We have enough problems with people thinking items have an established value at the moment, even though try our best to let people trade without any market pressure.
