[Suggestion] Disallow off-site "Untradeable" practices
I see so many posts where people don't even have the games they're selling in their inventories. Then they link to a dispenser bot that doesn't even have it in that inventory either. This seems super sketchy and I have no recourse from VALVe if they simply don't buy the game for me. This instills no confidence in me as the buyer. To me this is destructive to the tf2outpost environment and trust between traders.

As such I don't think this practice should be acceptable. Specifically, the sale/listing of items you don't even have in your inventory.

Full item disclosure. If you have an item in your trade that is not currently in your inventory then you must disclose its location in your trade notes; if the item that you have in the trade is no longer for sale then please mark the item as "deleted" by hovering over the item and pressing the trash button.

You have to keep in mind that dispenser.tf is a third party automated trading service and is not linked with TF2Outpost. As such if an item is sold on dispenser.tf it won't be reflected on TF2Outpost as well, the owner would have to manually remove it from the trade.

Best thing you can do is notify them that their bot is out of stock so they can either restock or remove the game from the trade. If they don't reply within a reasonable amount of time then you may report the trade as it would be in violation of the site's rules.
