Well there really isn't a point to having a trade for an item that can't be traded.
It is basically clutter. If you can't trade the item, then it really isn't a trade. In my opinion.
Wait for them to be tradable, re opening the trade will only land a user a ban.

Similar trades for similar items have been closed in the past. Last year, I forgot the untradable promo but the trades for them were being closed. Example: Tux. Still untradable.

For now searching for a buyer of AUS weapons you just need to add aus gold paint attrib as that is the most commonly method used by buyers.

I completely understand the requirements for BUYING items with cash. And I agree that the buyers should make sure the account does not "look shady" but the rule didn't actually specify anything about SELLING items for cash.

I'm sure by cash trades it means both buying & selling. On site, the rules do say before you can start buying & selling items
But, I think the focus is on buying from new accounts.

I'm not sure on how it will be handled, if it has been set up to make sure users who don't meet those requirements can't select the cash icon. Then you wouldn't be able


I believe it is to make sure those accounts that are shady, high chance of scamming, will have their trades closed other than a reason of "shady"
If its like other rules I believe the staff would look at the users profile before closing the trade then you should be fine. I'm sure you're an exception.

In your case
1000+ hours
Steam lv 40 +
High value backpack for months.

I don't think you'd be shady and need to have your trade closed.

However, I frequently have seen trades of users with ~200 hours, new account, and trying to buy any including high tier unusuals. Commonly unsuccessfully because users do not trust those sort of buyers. However, I have seen a few succeed and scam the other users. And it is nice having trades like those prevented from existing reducing the chance of scams occurring on site.

As for you using a terrible analogy of McDonalds and Walmart, that is a COMPLETELY difference scenario, they manufacture their products themselves for one. They also manufacture them at a very very low cost secondly, which gives them their profit.
The reselling of unusuals isn't manufacturing, you should look at the stockmarket for a better analogy, etc. The buying and selling of Shares and Assets.

In conclusion, essentially People are being spammed with trades they are not interested in, and it is the duty of tf2outpost to change their method of identification and handling of said trades to communicate better with their userbase and traders alike.:

Walmart does not manufacture products, they buy in bulk from companies and resell for much more. Which makes them an acceptable real life analogy from Not_Duck

And people aren't being spammed with trades they aren't interested.
Trades that are "quickbuyers" are searched for by the users, users who are looking to sell their item.

The purpose of these "quickbuyers" are to provide quick pure, sellers who sell to them understand that they can sell to them at a discount and save time.

I find that most users who complain about them aren't trying to use them properly (Yes, I believe quickbuyers are just another tool a trader can use like scrapbankers, pricing guides, etc.) they are fed up with being unable to sell quickly at "market price" and are trying to find someone to pay "market price" but buyer trades don't normally pay "market price" which upsets them, as they do not fully understand that items don't have prices, pricing guides are only recommendations to traders about commonly seen item sales, and how to use these quickbuyers.

Quickbuyers are useful to many users and if they aren't useful to you they are easy to spot and avoid, one way is to complete stop looking for buyers and just post a selling trade.

You can't ask outpost to try and regulate, it won't work and is an attempt at excluding users to an off section of the website.

Buyout
Current Offer

" One purpose, one trade. "
If you can recall that, none of your trades will ever be closed for relisting. I can promise you that :)

The problem with your trades weren't the items listed on the 'Have' side, Therefore, altered notes will not have prevented the closure of your trades.
Your trades all shared the same goal, to sell every crate series you had for sale.
Your notes made that very clear, that you had a single shared purpose. To sell crates via a single shared spreadsheet.

Don't re-create trades that are the same as the trades the staff had just closed.

And not only that, you had made a list shaming users publicly. That alone would have been enough to close your trades.

Just a tip, be polite. Traders prefer to trade with polite users.

Well, prices of items don't change depending on the location they are being sold.
You just to make a conversion to see how many keys an item will sell for.

When it comes to trades on outpost, you can list it for the amount you want and wait. Look at other sellers selling the same wear and skin and see how much they are asking and their offers. This is just for comparison, most of csgo trading values come from the market current selling prices.

When it comes to CSGO I highly recommend using the community market over outpost because items generally get sold quickly, without human interaction, and for pure.

After making a trade, there a buttons on site for the use of users. Nothing is automatic.
There (+) will send a friend request, accepting & sending these is how you get in contact to trade with a user.
The (⇄ ) icon will enable you to send a trade offer, a method of trading that doesn't involve users having direct contact. You can add your own trade offer link here in settings[www.tf2outpost.com]

And try to familiarize yourself with the many tools available to users.
Pricing guides (e.g., trade.tf , backpack.tf , etc)
Scrapbanking (e.g., scrap.tf , scrapbank.me , etc)

There are many guides out there on the steam game hubs that should be read for they are very informative. (e.g., Complete TF2 Trading Guide, Beginner's Guide to TF2 Trading, etc)

Read these over as well.

When selling your backpack, you should only expect a portion of the entire backpack. Backpack buyers only buy full backpacks in hopes to resell and make a profit. They do all the work of sellin each item, that you didn't want to do, while you walk away with all the cash in one transaction. The way to get the most cash is to do all the work for yourself. Going to item buyers can speed that process up.

I would set my hopes up to ~250$ for a good quick amount of real money. If you're goin to list it for a trade perhaps aim for a 300$ b/o

Tip: Find a reputable buyer who has a history of many backpack and large transactions, taking a lower price might seem worth it for the security of knowing you won't be scammed.

You can list a trade on outpost, but I recommend goin to other community forums that have a trading section to list your backpack. It'll extend your range of possible buyers and bring attention to known backpack buyers. (e.g SOP, Backpack.tf , r/tf2trade, etc )

I personally know a very reputable backpack buyer, you can add me and I can direct you to him, don't want to publicly advertise for him & his group on these forums.
