TF2 economy is like this: 90% of people want to sell stuff for profit, 10% of people want to buy stuff. You dont need a business school degree to figure out how this affect prices and sales, you need one if you want to change it

Well, the most easy solution is: avoid humans. Dont trade with humans, trade with bots. Use automated trading solutions, list the item with a fixed price, and then let it sell itself.

You want to make huge profit? Go and get a job. The only ones getting a real stupid amount of profit out of virtual items is Valve, always remember that.

Why is it ok that 80% of the buying trades state "i buy everything for at most half of its price" and 100% of the selling trades state "i sell everything for at least full price or with overpay"?

This is the internet, people always have and always will make comments on prices, especially since there is basically no trading community at all anymore, almost everyone is only keen on moving items around for profit.

I consider these kind of comments more or less entertaining, if a quickseller gets too annoying, just hide it and dont bother the moderation team with that unimportant stuff.

Dont like it? There is a very simple solution to avoid it: dont trade with humans. I can really recommend that, there is scm and a lot of bot trading going on, this saves me a lot of time and frustration. I only join the quicksell hell if i have to

Since 2 years we are waiting to be able to search for killstreaks and strangifiers, so take a seat on the line

I see, well i guess that server did belong to "The Outpost", ocassionally some people end up here looking for their group. However this is the group of "TF2 Outpost", not related to The Outpost in any way.

Crap, that should went to your new "i still cant do it" thread, i need a bigger cell phone

Thats funny, you know why csgo backpacks dont load, why outpost serves boob ads and what happened to some random trade server that probably isnt even related to outpost at all, but you cant figure out for a whole month how to make a screenshot on an iphone/android/windows phone or whatever obscure non-pc device you are using to browse this forum (maybe xbox, ps4?).

For some reason i believe your current avatar describes your agenda very well.

A few months ago a new, responsive, design was released that is, well, a little too responsive. Too wide on normal screens, too narrow on mobile screens, there is nothing you can do about it.

Well, i agree in respect to the first relisting rule, it doesnt matter if prices are listed or not, all trades serve the same purpose: buy every random unusual for far less than market price to maximize profit. Therefor all these trades are relists and should be removed.

How can this problem be solved? Do it like scm with buy requests. Make one trade for every unusual and each quickbuyer lists himself there with his price. Problem with this solution? Doesn't fit into the Outpost scheme. Makes sharking more difficult because of transparency.

And isnt this the reason why all of you are here? The lack of transparency makes it easier to shark items, no prices, no sell history, try that on scm. And this the reason why pretty much every unusual buying trade contains the word quickselling.

The problem is the way how outpost works, this system had its advantages in the past days when people traded for items because they wanted them. Now people only trade to make profit and the system is abused to the max for that purpose. These rules are an attempt to restore order and make it useable for the goal it was designed for.

They dont drop since the tough break campain, and even that is already over...
