Due to the technicality of outpost there is nothing really against quick buyers the only time when it's practically sharking is when they really are. So by all technicalities it's fine. Not all quick buyers are lazy I would think it would take a long time to find a good quick sell.

Besides if there's one good rule to follow in TF2 trading it's nerves of steel, but a heart like a marshmallow. You can sort of say I make my profit by quick sell but I don’t actually say that nor do I do ridiculous margins of profit. Besides I only trade for hats I want and hats that I know I can keep forever or one with a nice profit that the other party is willing to let go of. However in the process I bide my time hoping to either have an exact 1:1 in price or a nice bit of profit mostly 0.1 – 0.4 buds. Although one time I made 1bud profit but that was just luck. I even pointed that out to the other trader, curse good nature, and he said he was fine with that.

Hopefully the jurisdiction of outpost changes and stipulates limitations or employs cleaver means of dealing with the problem. See the only reason why every mod and admin say it's okay because by outpost rules they are. However that will change with a powerful enough uproar to cause consternation in their adamant rules and 'just following orders' though I doubt that this will happen. If it does they will put light limitations with a good enough penalty that it's just stupid and not worth the trouble

Speaking of this it seems like we get a lot of people overvaluing their hats. I get offers of 1bud hats on a hats I own that are 3-5buds (not the actual price range of a hat but the range of multiple hats).

I don't know if helen still does this but she will look into any scam by any means of contact. This is her unofficial official fan club https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/talktohelenangel2. Also I just have to say this wrong spelling 'ofcourse' is of space course.

Doesn't outpost update as soon as you refresh your backpack, I do that everytime to check the items I got after a trade.

Nobel is right I got the samething when outpost's servers were lagging I suppose it could work the other way around.

My trades got closed because of relist apparently, to be fair i did put up similar trades in the past but the only reason i put new trades up was because i changed them, for example my 2 spy loadouts got changed because i changed the loadouts a little bit, but they got taken off outpost, and my unusual fedora upgrade trade got closed cos i got a better fedora and wanted it to be on the trade not my old bad effect one :/ all the trades that got taken down were similar to some past trades but not relists

Well if I remember OP discussions awhile back. Admins said its okay so long as it has a genuine different purpose. Such as I make a trade for one unusual another for a different and both for offers on both. Sometimes I like to manage offers seperate if I know I'll get a lot.

The number next to the key I assume you're referring to is not for quantity, but number of uses that a tool has left. Many items now have that number, like paints and noisemakers.

I believe this on the other things that have uses; paints, mini games, anything used.

Exactly my point, but there seems to be a good amount that are exactly as you said but someone actually perma-hid it and reason. Just saying we should instead just tell them that its not worth it and just hide it themselves.
