While this is a problem (the trade being up, not the pricing) it is only a problem because they are allowed to keep the trades open. If people would simply report the trades instead of complaining everywhere else about it then it would not be a problem. The Mods can't be expected to look at every trade and will not find all trades where people are not buying unless people report them.

there is a help section on the site that covers this. It uses bbcode

Are you people seriously trying to enforce what people pay? If this is how the tf2 economy should run then we should all buy and sell to tf2wh. If that's what you want, that's where you should go. You should not BAN people for trying to get a good deal off of them. And I have never seen someone refuse an offer for quicksale more than 50% off, It has never even happened, qucksell is 20-30%, 70% is stealing. Also there is a reason for such discounts, Supply and demand. Nobody wants or sub-30 key cancer unusual, so of course you are going to get low offers. Selling to a quickbuyer is almost a service, It takes weeks to get a good deal on a cancer hat, and selling it for 30% off is actually a good thing. Now asking for quicksells on 5 bud hats, that's kind of stupid.

TL;DR
Banning is stupid, as bad as tf2op is with lowballers, it's still free market

Buying a 10 bud hat for 8-9 buds is called getting a good deal. If you read the OP, you'd know I'm fine with that. As for that comment about 70% off, I've seen countless trades looking for anything above that.
In reference to you saying that selling a low tier hat for 30% off is a good thing, guess what? I agree with you, again I stated that in the OP. It's when people try to get you to take stupid amounts off the value of your hat, again >50%.

As for the tl;dr part, if this was implemented, it wouldn't be a straight up ban fest, most quickbuy trades would still exist, but it would stop people being cheated out of their hats by giving away a flames jefe for 8 buds.

This guy knows what he is talking about. Other people need to learn how to actually read peoples posts and understand them.

I sold my S. Minigun for 2 refined. Yes, it's a stupid quicksell trade but it's wearing out and it's over a year old, and I'm desperately looking for someone to take it off my hands as I have the botkiller version of it.

However, thanks for reminding me how important it is to price your items according to it's standard market price. I'll be sure to check the prices of the item I wanna give away for my future trades to avoid any accidental quick-trades.

Quicksells are not really the problem, you can sell your item for whatever you want. The problem is all the "quickbuy" trades that people make that take advantage of people who don't really understand what the value of their unusuals are. A lot of people get mixed up between these two terms, but if you want to sell your item for cheap that is your prerogative, some people though will try to buy a hat worth 10 buds for 3 buds and the person who unboxed it might not understand how much their hat is actually worth and since all they see are these quickbuy trades they end up selling it for far woth than it is worth.

There are groups like this for other things too. Doesn't mean it will work.

Then there should be a suggested price on the site. What about newbies who don't realise what their gear is worth?? They will get banned :V

No, this would be protecting the newbies who don't know what their gear is worth. It would be the assholes making the trades trying to buy a burning TC for 5 buds that would get banned.

Of course this cannot happen since half the mods on this site make quickbuy trades so they would never implement a regulation like this. I suggest taking a look a bazaar.tf, they do not allow quickbuy trades over there.

I doubt it. The thread is not hurthing anything by being in general. More people get to see it, that is all.

Actually you are only hurting yourself since Mods/Admins won't be looking for suggestions in the general section of the forumns but rather in the Suggestion section. Just as many people who actually care about it would be seeing it if it were in the suggestions since people who are concerned with seeing suggestions will go to that section of the forum. People who see a suggestion in the general section of the forum will just discredit it as being a bad suggestion since it makes sense to assume that a person who is not intelligent enough to use the appropriate section of the forum will not be able to make anything other than stupid suggestions and will therefore ignore it (even though this is actually a decent suggestion).

If it is that urgent, then a moderator/admin will move it.

Yeah, because I'm sure they don't have enough to do already. We should all put any discussions we start into the wrong section in an effort to create more work for them.

A moderator/admin can move it if they would like. I wanted people to see it and get support for the suggestion so I put it in general.

You should be putting it in the correct section. If I were an Admin/mod I would lock and disregard this thread just for this comment. If you were aware there is a suggestion section then there is no excuse to not be putting it in there.
