Oh gawd, you are being too serious about virtual hat trading.
Trash trades that are very close to scam and sharking, and that no one is interested in, are allowed and encouraged.
Troll trades that not only don't hurt anyone, but also can make someone feel better, are a bannable offense.
That's my point, and I don't care much about outpost and its rules, as you might see from the fact that I was banned 5 times.

I see now why you had to be banned permanently. You just don't get it, not even after 5 bans.
That's why you deserve to be mentioned in the list of "The worst traders", in my opinion.

>you don't get it
Heard it a lot of times from admins, still nobody cared to explain what exactly I'm not getting.

Couldn't respond to Uranium235's shitposting since I was offline, so I should do it now, I suppose.

The topic was "worst traders". I pointed one of them out, the one that constantly makes troll trades.

Making troll trades has nothing to do with trading AT ALL. All of them were made just to show people how dumb asking for extreme quicksells or overpriced buyouts is. When it comes to trading, I don't rip people off and I'm not trying to constantly make profit on someone's loss. I've tried to do so when I was new to that trading system, but quickly realized how foolish it is.

Now about these 5 bans. Most outpost admins can't handle their frustration when they see anything that could make people think bad of their favorite trading website. Therefore, saying anything against outpost or its main components - lowballs and highballs, always results in a ban. You've seen by yourself how my thread with that picture was closed instantly by champelliot, even though there was nothing offensive at all.

And by the way,

that (complaining and not getting it right yourself)

Even though English is not my native language, it should be pretty obvious that "teh" and "stoopid" were written that way purposely.
You sir, have started that controversy out of nothing. Admit it.

What exactly? The fact that I was banned permanently for making a troll trade, or that I'm definitely a complete asshole if I was banned by such nice admin that never bans people for no reason?

You are completely right.
You'll have to search for deals on another trading website though. And we both know which one.Since finding a good deal on the outpost is impossible due to a distinctive lack of fair traders.

They are not collector's levels anymore, they are just fancy numbers.
What is more, serious collectors won't ever be interested in collecting craft hats with fancy numbers. Unless for reselling their collection as a set.
Basically, "They are collectors levahls!!!111" is an excuse for extreme highballing, just like "buying quicksells" is an excuse for lowballing.
And dat user from your link is looking for vintages, which is kinda different.

...still retarded people keep saying that "it's a collector's level, so I want 5 keys for that craft hat normally worth 1.33".
What? Why would collectors be interested in something so common that EVERYONE knows that it's worth something?
Can you find ANYONE who bought a "special leveled" item for more not just to resell it(unless it's glitched)?
No, seriously, what the fuck?

Oh, and I have something else to add to this hatred list. Traders who beg you to give them your items for like 50% of their market value, telling you a cool story about how they need a virtual hat to gift it for their brother's wedding. Happened to me a lot of times.
