    AMG RAGE IN ALL CAPPS!!!


    I am 100% new to this whole tf2 market thing , But was refered to this site since i wanted buy a spy set. well 100% of peeps i add auto ignore me since they tell me i need " rep" well not only do i have none since i jsut made but i only need 4 buds worth in keys or promos : /

    Not sure what i can do since peeps telling me do tons of micro tranactions <10$ at a time which will end up costing me alot more. i would like info on what people mean when they say middle men or tips on how to buy items for newbies.

    I have used paypal for several years for Games like WoW, Diablo 2 LOD, D3 and have no less then 500 transactions made but that hasent helped me at all with tf2 trading. Any feedback is welcome.

    http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197994273487
    Post here or add me

    Worse comes to worse i will have to do mini transactions, so help on learnign what i have to do do gain rep would be nice.... can Tip people for help if ur willing start from ground zero with me.

    Last if all this is link to the spy set i want to buy.

    http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/2581448

    Guy is asking 200$ i offered hit a orbiting fire Tropheybelt and then ~4.5 Buds in promos.
    Now to me saving the time in putting a full set together would be Way worth overpayign a little. Please let me know if u think its a Ripoff or decent buy.
    Thanks for takign time read my whole post kinda all over place but figured would be better then posting 5 pages of crap.

    The problem is that scammers are a major problem. And most people that deal with large sums like that have been scammed, and are thus rightfully cautious.

    Take you, for example. You want over $100 for a new SourceOP account, for a steam profile that's been VAC banned, and of whom 7% of your friends list are listed as scammers? I don't blame people for not wanting to do that.

    Also, stop spamming this post on multiple boards.

    Just don't buy anything big your first time. Generally, people won't sell to a newbie an item over $10.

    Reason i got vac banned was for playign on a hacked modernwarfare 2 server that gave boosted xp : / and as far as buying orders under 10 bucks i will end up payign tons more in cash since only peeps who sell <10 want way more for their keys 1.5 per . i mean i dont have alot of choices but arent their ways i can guarantee selled im not a scammer? or am i doomed to spend next month doing micro transactions : /

    You are doomed to micro-transactions until you either build up decent rep or find someone who is willing to sell more than just 10 keys to you.

    I bought 12 buds on my first transaction from Sir_Light. I suppose I have a relatively ancient account though (2006) and had plenty of play time in TF2 itself, as well as a large game library.

    i was quite lucky in finding a person who has helped me to start builing my rep here, i guess its just a matter or getting lucky finding a good seller and having them trust you.

    It seems tha 98% of people on the internet give the rest of us all a bad name : /

    you gotta start off small, somethimes go first, and find trusted buyers to do this with, be patient i started at nothing and built up a small but decent trading rep, with patience and some effort u can do the same cheers.

    I think anyone who is surprised people don't want to do substantial trades with them when they have no reputation, will have their mind blown when they realize a bank won't give them a loan if they don't have any credit.
    I was a commando you know.
