This is irritating.

Although this will make me sound like a red-neck racist wanker, I wouldn't mind seeing a trade site, similar to the builds of Outpost and TP, that is restricted to UK, US & CA IPs.

Fixed that for you.

The strong Aussie dollar got you scared has it?
I'd like to see a site that required an IQ test before allowing posting.

Forgot to mention Aus, and seeing as I'm GB myself, I'd like to see how I'd go about being redneck.

considering that the most people that i met, that couldn't read trade descriptions were natives speakers, that might be the better course of action :wink:

You have to be aware that new traders and casual players do exist and have no idea about the values of items. He might have just viewed it as a regular hat not knowing what it was worth.

outpost is full of retards who spam ur trades with useless shit and lowball

[serialjoe]

thats a big assumption, not everyone is lowballing, if they do, well so be it, just say no thank you, its big traders who know value that lowball that pisses me off, cuz there trying to fuck u over, and buy low and resell 2x higher, thats just sneaky

You people are dumb. Without price fluctuation, you'd never make a profit. If everything had a set price and only ever sold at that price, then nobody would loose but nobody would profit either.

Stop bitching about lowballers. Say no thank you and move on with your life.

Why on earth would anyone try to make a profit out of hat trading?

Unless you are ripping off noobs, the return on time spent is laughable. You'd be far better off getting a job/education/spending time trying to make the world a better place. Trade for stuff you want, not stuff you hate but think you can profit from.

No one trades hats to make a loss. It's always about profit. Sure, along the way if you're successful you might keep an unusual or two simply because you want to keep it, but the majority of traders unusual hats or otherwise trade to make profit.

I tried writing a reply along those same lines, but it just ended up turning into a rant so just keeping it simple works :wink:

TF2 is just a game, a game that I play to relax after work always has been and always will. I play it because I enjoy it, and I only trade for things I want. Might've meant I've "profited" less, and hell I've done my fair share of over paying. My last serious trade, smoking snaggle for a flies cowl... just because I couldn't be arsed trading the snaggle, and I wanted the cowl for a long time. He was happy, I was very happy, good deal if you ask me.
