[QUOTE=Alfie;31138789][editline]15th July 2011[/editline] He thinks I'm a nazi...[/QUOTE] What the fuck?
[QUOTE=NitronikALT;31138829]From [b]GUIDE ON HOW TO SELL/TRADE FOR BEGINNERS - STEP 5 : Scamming techniques and how to avoid them[/b] I don't think me and many others have done that.[/QUOTE] How can you even be that stupid to fall for shit like that or is the word I'm thinking of naive? I thought parents taught their 11 year olds to be overly suspicious of people on the internet
[QUOTE=Eeshton;31138910]How can you even be that stupid to fall for shit like that or is the word I'm thinking of naive? I thought parents taught their 11 year olds to be overly suspicious of people on the internet[/QUOTE] 90% of the parrents don't even care what their 11 year old kids do on the internet. That's the only explanation to 12 year old playing TF2/CoD/other shooter and swearing the f*ck out in the mic.
[QUOTE='[Z];31138901']Is SourceOP full of douchebags or this is just a huge coincidence?[/QUOTE] Some of the guys are really nice, but the large majority of the douches are admins, and their yesmen and dick suckers
Holy shit, this this the first time I'm raging in a while. Sure those guys are good at trolling.
[QUOTE=Alfie;31138789][editline]15th July 2011[/editline] He thinks I'm a nazi...[/QUOTE] I read that over 6 times and I don't even understand.
Butane got in. Is this going to end well, I don't know. I hope it does, because we've done everything besides scamming.
-snip- Edit: horrible pageking
[QUOTE='[Z];31139046']He has time to delete the posts related to this topic, but don't has time to look into the whole thing. AMAZINGAH![/QUOTE] Now you're just making shit up. It doesn't take more than a second to delete a post, and he's only doing that to prevent drama. Stop trying to find things wrong with every little detail.

[QUOTE=Eeshton;31138759]"Offering 1-2 weapons for an unusual when they don't know the real price." The real price of what? There is no official price, it's determined by the players, and if that player decides that the 1-2 weapons he is offered is worth the unusual, then that is the real price. You're ignorant and hypocrite. Can someone post that on SourceOp, I can't register for some reason, I've tried 2 times over the past 3 days and never got an email. [editline]15th July 2011[/editline] Just because he deserves it, doesn't mean we have to call him it, you're not being very mature.[/QUOTE] Can I add something? Without drama, of course. Just a question. I'm not trying to get anyone pissed off, I just want to add my two cents. There may be no "official" price, but there IS a price for the value of every item in the game that most TF2 players agree on. The trades you guys make certainly aren't fair, hence the title of the thread, "rip-off trading". I think the trades in this thread call only be considered fair if both players are aware of the generally agreed-upon value of the items being traded. Next time you trade for a Sandvich for a Gentle Manne's Medal, how about informing the guy beforehand that the medal is considered to be worth two buds and a Bill's Hat. If he stills wants the Sandvich, then yeah, it's fair.
Hold up a sec, I usually recall the guy with the heart avatar clearly stating that he added people- Oh wait, it's Diego.

:v: rename the thread to Pro-trading Megathread. Because this isn't RIPPING people off, this is just PRO-TRADING rite?

If they think a bills is worth 1 hat, then it is worth 1 hat, and if the other person trading is willing to accept that price, then it is a fair trade.
Did anyone else just suddenly get an extra 1,000 posts? Because I'm fairly certain I didn't have 2,000 already.

-f*cking snip!-
[QUOTE=MasterFen007;31139250]Did anyone else just suddenly get an extra 1,000 posts?[/QUOTE] Nope. Not at all.
[QUOTE='[Z];31139260']-f*cking snip!-[/QUOTE] Why do you make crap posts and then snip it? Atleast accept your shame man! Actually, I'm pretty sure saying just "nope.avi" is bannable, but nevermind. Also, don't discuss the post count here and what garry has been doing, Gold doesn't require posts anymore, just date, so posts don't matter.
[QUOTE=NitronikALT;31139253]Fast Threads and Chat Threads post do count now they have been added to your count[/QUOTE] People's forever 1337 posts will never work anymore.
[QUOTE=Eeshton;31139228][b]Inform them of what value exactly?[/b] There is still no set price other than their own personal one. If they think a bills is worth a 1 hat, then it is worth one hat, and if the other person trading is willing to accept that price, then it is a fair trade.[/QUOTE] The value that most players agree upon. Where's that value chart when you need it? Some of it was included in Doomish's post. All I'm saying is, you should at least inform the other player that these items do have a generally agreed-upon value and make them aware of it. You can PM me if you want to continue this discussion, otherwise let's agree to disagree.
Since we're on topic and I'm not familiar with this stuff, let's say we will get a "caution". What is it exactly?
I still kinda think it sucks that your whole trading/selling fate is based upon one webpage. You get listed as scammer on steamrep, you're fucked. I wish we could have a more balanced and elaborate way.
[QUOTE=MasterFen007;31139250]Did anyone else just suddenly get an extra 1,000 posts? Because I'm fairly certain I didn't have 2,000 already.[/QUOTE] I went from 11 to 17k post. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/emoot/smug.gif[/img]
