Should buying quicksells be banned from outpost?
Currently outpost is one of the only tf2 trading community that allows buying quicksells. One thing I want to ask is should having trades saying that you are buying quicksells be not allowed anymore?

From what I know, sharking and scamming is not allowed on outpost.
Now here's where I get to my point with the former. Sharking.
Sharking is ripping off people who don't have the experience to sell their items....
Buying quicksells is in a nutshell ripping people off who don't have time to sell their items...

Most trade related servers/communities such as Hooded alliance, Pinktacos, Tf2 trader, acefortress, Cow's Buying quicksells is not allowed. Some websites such as bazzar.tf also do not allow this.

Quicksells themselves in the end also end up hurting TF2 outpost itself.
First off, those who are buying quicksells hardly get any buyers. Because 90% of traders on outpost choose to buy quicksells, a lot of these threads end up taking space. Most unusuals tend to be traded from a seller's thread rather than a "acceptable form" of sharking people.

Now some people are going to say "But some people are quick-selling."
Yes, this is true. But why not go and take time to go find the quicksellers themselves then? Remember they are the ones who don't have time to look for a deal so as a guy who wants to get a good deal, you should at least have the decency to go look for it.

And because most quicksellers don't have time to look for deals, that's the reason why threads tend not to get any actual trading done.

Please take this into consideration.
