Yeah, except you're wrong. The top 3 donators get auto-bumps every half hour as opposed to 3rd tier donators, who get it every hour.

Did not know of that, and I can't seem to find it on the donate or help page. I'll stand by my stance that it doesn't technically qualify as a tier since you can be dropped from it if someone raises above you, but it is a nice selling point to donate a lot.

wat bout the 4th tier

There is no fourth tier for donators. The only levels above tier three donator is VIP and the various staff positions, which are not handed out frequently.

There are however three special icons for being one of the top three donators for the site, but those do not change anything and are cosmetic.

Yes, it takes 1 key for the first tier, 4 keys for the second tier, and 7 for the third.

Be sure to follow the stickied instructions, or else nobody will help you.

Then you certainly are in the gray area here. Normally people who do what you propose just want to make nine trades when it could be condensed.

Are you making these trades because you specifically want these hats, or do you just want 9 "buying all craft hats" trades?

In my opinion, I believe that it would be a wasted effort to try and create automated bots for general use on Outpost. The currently popular bot services out there (warehouse/scrap.tf) already cover most lower valued items like weapons and craftable hats, and even some do common currency items like earbuds. If Outpost were to do something like this, they would have to put some limitations on it, or else it'd lead to countless people using bots for things like scrapbanking and "BUYING ALL CRAFT HATS FOR 1 REFINED".

If it could be for a higher class of donator and/or be limited to items valued to multiple keys and above, then I'd be for it. If not, I wouldn't ask Sneeza to waste his time.

The never ending search for profit.
