I really have no idea but he was saying, but I *think* he meant he wanted a backpack.tf value somewhere in the stats that pop up when you hover over an item. Then again maybe he just wanted a sandwich. I dunno.

No, I'm certain he wanted an icon that stated that an item would be bought or sold for the backpack.tf price. The problem with that is that backpack.tf is fairly controversial. Outpost does not want to do anything to encourage fixed pricing and too many traders follow the site religiously, whether it is accurate or not.

In the past it has been discovered that spreadsheet type sites have manipulated the market and any avoidance of that is probably for the best.

But with only one trade he can only put 8 items on the right side. As long ass the items on the right side are different why should it be counted as re-listing? If you can only have one trade for that purpose then the site should be redesigned to have a larger wishlist.

While I know Blue covered this, look at tf2tp.com and search any type of normal hat. Allowing people to make wishlists with more than a few hats leads to people putting in dozens upon dozens for a simple "buying all craft hats for 1 refined" trade.

The thing is, you just made 9 trades all with the same purpose, you just tried to use a loophole by making them class specific. You didn't care what hat you got, and one trade could serve that purpose.

As for other people doing it, they just have not been reported yet.

It's a risk vs reward choice.

You can cut them loose now and if they drop further in value, you've made a good choice, but you also run the risk that they inflate back up meaning you're out of a potential number of keys.

I can't tell you the right choice because nobody knows what is going to happen in the future, only what has happened in the past.

The value of earbuds has fluctuated a lot over the years, and will continue to do so for some time. I myself can recall buying them for as low as 14-15 keys and as high as nearly 30.

All I can say is that they will not stay at the 20ish I believe they are right now, but which direction that goes will only be known with time.

It depends on the situation. If someone just a small insult or just called you a lowballer or something insignificant, then nothing really will be done since that's just minor petty stuff. Only report if they personally crossed the line or went at you with slurs/hate speech.

On top of that, Outpost only deals with reports that involve the site, if someone insulted you over steam, nothing will be done.

Good job, you bumped a thread that hasn't been active for over 100 days

So what you're saying is that we're headed to a dystopian future ruled by corporations because of region locked games and Valve not allowing you to idle endlessly?

In the case of items such as "1.66 keys" they mean they want one key and then a group of items typically worth worth two thirds of a key. Using the rough transfer rate of one key to six refined metal, 1.66 keys would equal 1 key and 4 refined metal. In this case, 10 refined would also work. (10 refined / 6 refined per key = 1.66 keys).

As for people asking for overpayment, typically this happens when people only want to trade for a certain type of item. If someone were to want to offer them some other type of item, they would have to pay more in value.
