Unusual Bill's.

I lol'd at some of these. I have a few to add:

The one who is supposedly "new to TF2" but who will automagically aim for the most valuable items in your inventory (Bill's, Buds, unusuals etc).
The one who adds you and goes afk for the rest of the day 5 seconds later.
The one who is online but won't bother replying to your messages.
The one who sends you a friend request and cancels it before you're able to accept it.
The one who will list the store price of his games in brackets.
The one who adds you and later asks you "Why the heck did you add me?"
The one who gets mad when you politely refuse their terrible offer.
The one who will call you a scammer for offering 1 scrap below/above average price.
The one who assumes you're a noob and offers some weapons and hats for your buds (even though he can clearly see you have 100+ keys and 10+ buds in your inventory).
The one who will quicksell or offer you "cheap" items for x1.5 their value.
And my personal favorite, the one who adds you without reading your notes (despite clearly stating I do not want other offers, I accept only keys, please do not add me, offer on my trade etc).

When was the base number changed from 10 to 5? I must have missed it.

It's always been 5, 10 if you joined this group at some point. That announcement is not "from a few days ago", it has been like this as far as I remember. You've already increased your limit so you won't be getting another extra 5 trades unless you donate more.

You start with 5 trades, you get 5 more for joining this group and another 5 for being a level 1 donator. The counter is fine.

You'll also have to activate a game on your account (e.g. Dota 2 invite) and then wait 15 days. Limited accounts are not allowed to trade.

Of course the trades that sell / buy outside the range where most trades happen, tend to be the ones that are open forever and never get closed. That's why it appears that "most" trades are unfair.

This. ^

Welcome to trading.

Yes, in fact I wouldn't mind if the "Matches" button was removed indefinitely as long as I can match a single trade.

I don't believe that belongs here. You should contact the creator of the plugin you're using.

I think he does not mean he got an offer to buy one for 50%. He just meant that in general. And just because "80% of the trades" announce they want to buy for 50% does not mean they are successful in doing so very often.

He asked if it's wrong to accept such a trade. Who in their right mind would quicksell an unusual for 50% off?
