It's pretty small - just peanuts in the grand scheme of things, and I am just blowing things way out of proportion - but this is technically price manipulation, with very clear proof; Yes, it will not affect the TF2 economy, but it is still manipulation for personal gain

Yes the one scrap will ruin this entire community :/

:) I said it was a small issue - But still wrong.

Price Manipulation:

''Market manipulation is a deliberate attempt to interfere with the free and fair operation of the market and create artificial, false or misleading appearances with respect to the price of, or market for, a security, commodity or currency''.

You can enlighten your self further - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_manipulation

Doesn't have to affect an economy; I doubt companies colluding to set the price of ebooks affected the world so much - but it was wrong. No point defending something that's wrong :)

Hey man

It's nothing personal; hope it clear out fast,
I just reported what I thought was wrong.

except the suggestion was made at least 8 minutes before the comment and he was willing to close the suggestion if he wasn't able to sell...

I wonder how many sites will perma ban Terminus. Lets find out.

I'm going to lock this.

Everyone has their own opinion of the severity of things of this nature and how things like this should be dealt with, but I don't see this particular discussion going anywhere good.
