Rule Question.
Ok, so I know a lot of people may not agree with me, nor think I have a valid excuse.
But I used objectors in a trade, like so http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10604015 for the reason of "Using objectors to advertise/gain attention. Violation of Trade Rule #2."

Trade Rule #2 clearly states that items are not to be used unless you are actually going to trade the items.

It clearly says on my trade that I am selling the objectors, for a price of 1 bills. If someone was to offer a bills for them, I would have traded.
It wasn't relisting, nor was I doing anything wrong.

I am not sure why the trade was closed, but I feel a change of the rules is needed, because I clearly was selling the objectors.
Not accusing anyone, just would like a constructive discussion about this.
Cheers.

The objector is worth about 1 ref, asking for a Bill's is ridiculous, so in any instance, we would have closed it for that. If you were actually selling the objectors for a reasonable price, then I personally wouldn't see a problem with it, although that's also for the rest of the staff to decide.

Well fair enough, but I also paid for the decals and for the decal'ing to be done. The price would have gone up to about 3 keys each ( I paid 2 keys for the decal and decal'ing, yes stupid I know ).
But really the reason for closing the trade wasn't there, if the objectors were overpriced, a fair reason for closing it was that the price was too high. But trade rule #2 in this situation has nothing to do with this situation.
I appreciate your comment Champ :)

Also, I cannot seem to find in the rules that if a trade has the price of an item too high that it warrants a closing of trade, if there is this, please direct me to it, my iPad is refusing to load the entire page.

It's in the moderator rules, but falls under common sense. If I recall correctly, the cutoff is 50% off or lower, or 200% value or higher

Well, honestly, I thought the price was pretty fair, they looked great. But this isn't mentioned in the basic rules section.
There should be a change or something because even though that is given, rule #2 was no reason to close the trade.

Some people simply list items as attention magnets and put a ridiculously high price on them so noone will ever buy them. When we (staff) say or do anything about it they claim the items were for sale, although the fact is that their primary goal was not to be sold, but to help another "cause".

I'm not saying this is your case (I didn't review it), but with so many people doing it, it's understandable why it was closed.

Ok :) Thanks for providing a more logical reason for it being closed, I feel its more understandable.
