So what you're saying is that you want to sell an unusual immediately for full price, rendering my time--AND YOURS--worthless.

If it's not worth the time these people have to babysit a trade for days and weeks in order to get full price, then that's their business. All quickbuyers are doing is providing them with the service that enables them to have that option. Essentially, what you are saying is that you want to take that option away from them.

There goes that "theory." Have you considered your approach?

Given your trades: http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/185040 It's really no surprise. I mean, it looks like you're trying to make money via getting lucky in Two Cities games and trying to sell an All-Father for 1.8 keys. Really? Who's going to buy that?

Well, not that you want it or will even listen, but here's my advice: Stop trying to gamble with Mann Up, sell your stranges and hats for a reasonable price, possibly even up to 1 ref below backpack.tf, get TF2OP Premium, and start buying and selling 2 ref - 6 ref miscs that have some stability, again at reasonable prices. My general rule of thumb is anything up to 3 ref at backpack.tf price, and then start reducing by 1-2 rec, which doesn't really make that big of a deal, but I like giving people bargains. For buying, it's... well, just look at some buying trades and try to offer the high end of those or 1 rec higher, depending on the price of the item and the profit margin.

Brian Griffin: hi
Brian Griffin: i played with u in tf2 last time and i like ur bills hat. i made an sfm photo with this hat,here is it (link removed, goes to .jpg)
Brian Griffin: like it?

Problem is this: While I own a Bill's Hat... I don't wear it.

Holy fsking s***.

So I got premium in the wee hours of April 30th, and I want you to do something for me. I want you to look at http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198059791435 (my backpack price history on backpack.tf) for the past month. From April 7th through the 29th, my backpack value increased by $12.69.

From the 29th to the time of posting, it's increased by $63.55, and my sleep schedule's been screwy, so I've been missing a lot of prime trading time this past week.

In other words, if I were to justify buying Premium based solely on selling keys via Paypal to get said premium, it already more than paid for itself on the first day.

I've read some people insisting that they didn't notice a difference, well... here's scientific proof that it does make a difference, and a pretty huge one at that.

TF2OP, I'm going to stick with Premium for as long as I'm a TF2 trader. Thank you.

It seems to go away eventually for me.

Okay, it was apparently something I did. Anyone want to tell me what it was that I did?

Was this changed at some point or is it something I did? It say I have 8/5 trades open.

I think that this is a good thing, to be honest. I just wish that it was 10 per hour instead of 5 every couple of hours. Honestly, I feel like that would have been the way to go.

Overall, though, my faith in Valve has increased.
