I sold him 7 TF2 Keys for 9,80€ (1,40 € ea) without fees through PayPal, and he went first.
Trade link: http://forums.sourceop.com/threads/16317...0-(paypal)

I searched what I could, but something is still not clear to me:

a) what was invalid on the post? Everything I think should be there there was, when I compared it to other right reps I gave, they were the same. Why did it happen about 20 days after I posted it? *SourceBOT* sent it, which is probably a bot, so I'll probably get no response from him Smile
[STRIKE]b) where do I see my infractions and when/if they expire? [/STRIKE] found it
c) why is there no more *users sourceop forum rep page* under peoples' profiles as it used to?

Thanks for answer(s) Smile]]>

Can we have something to really block stacking... not very fun to play for me and new players.. just scrambling automatically for exemple... (Stacking vote never work when the stacking team vote NO)... I'm not very angry with that, but it's just not fun.. know, friends just want to be with friends, i feel the same too, but seriously you always lost new players (and futur friends maybe) when u do that...

Or just block players change team in middle of the game (maybe that's possible). Or blocking the choice of team (Red or Blue), always make it random.

It's just a suggestion... ^^

But the best solution, it's players himself making an effort on this...

Thank's !]]>

2 minutes later.

"Hey, could you add a little more? Just a couple ref."

I really wanted the hat, and I had some extra ref, so I said "fuck it" and added two ref.

"Some more?"

Another ref went into the trade window.

"More."

I was almost about to tell him to fuck off and die, but I just sighed and added a craft hat.

"Ok, thanks man!"

Finally puts up the stovepipe and finishes the trade.

I was kinda tired and didn't really care at the time because I really wanted a Demo unusual. But now I've resolved to just unfriend if somebody pulls that shit again. Why the fuck would you ask for more after you've already agreed to a price? Are you really that greedy?]]>

Then there's bp.tf When I first saw it I thought it was a thing of beauty and genius. Here was a site I can see exactly how much my bag is worth, Hover over a random item and see its price and even sell on the site. I was blown the fuck away. I knew immediately the spreadsheet was done in for. Then I came across its vote for price section. Seemed innocuous at first, even noble. A place where the people could democratically vote on prices with full transparency. Then as it gained popularity, people learned to game the system. I started to see unusual prices that were on a continuous downward trajectory due to increasing supply start to inexplicably go up. Then other lil things. But the thing I personally blame bp.tf for is the soaring rise in key prices.

Yeah prices got a lil wacky during haloween but after that proofs were given of the high-ballers. On tf2op, it is VERY easy to show proofs of someone selling for a scrap or 2 above normal price. Some people do buy keys impulsively. Yet, if you put up a regular offer for keys, you do get added and sold keys. Granted, you will have to wait and get keys 1-2 at at time but I've always been able to get reasonably priced keys that would seem unwise undoable if you just surf those that are auto-bumped on tf2op. AND that's part of the problem, only donator keys are showing up on tf2op as so many of them are auto-bumped. A vast majority of those who "donate" to tf2op do as a business expanse and crowd out others selling keys. So any search is nearly entirely filled with colored names.
So with bp.tf anyone trying to increase the price can easily cherrypick "proof" and make the key price go up. I understand that moderators are suppose to be there to stop wreckless traders with obvious biases. I see them trying and give them credit for stoping some of the nonsense but still, this is truely out of control. I've mulled over several possibilities for fixing this situation. Ideally, steamrep, bp.tf and tf2op would work together to force 1 key price that can be listed on servers and on tf2op. No one would be perma banned but something like 4ref is the price unless substantial evidence to the contrary as determined by a panel of admins. People still could trade on their own for whatever price they wanted but if they wanted to post a price on tf2op or bp.tf then it'd have to be the 1 set price. Its unlikely though. Herding cats would be easier than getting admins to get behind something like this.

An inferior but realistic solution would be that only bp.tf moderators or preferably brad himself would propose key price changes. That way we don't have it where someone with literally 500 keys isn't suggesting a price increase. Moreover, it'd be nice if people with a shitstack of keys can't vote on a price increase of keys.

Oh and I also HATE the unusual effects icon on Bp.tf And even though they asked for everyone's opinion and a vast majority didn't like it its as though they just shrugged that off and pressed forward. I mean seriously, the plasma icons are bizarre as are the moon and energy ones. I mean really, a pinkish raindrop to represent purple energy?!


Tl;dr version: Don't add offering items unless asked. Bp.tf is awesome but would be better off if moderators only were allowed to suggest prices. Admins love cats and I still hate the unusal icons on bp.tf]]>
