Last one mixed in failed purchases as 'unsold' battle bobs. There's no one selling as low as 1.66 on the sellers side across outpost, 1.33 is too low even from the buyers side. The last suggestion was misleading with its links and should not have gone through. Actually check the links in these suggestions, folks. And when you spot something wrong, be sure to leave a comment.

2 ref trades are all young ones and largely ones that have gone unbumped. That tells me that with active bumping, it'll go rather quickly. While the 1.66 buyers have managed to grab the odd one, it does not look to happen with any real regularity. As such, I'm leaving 1.66 out of the range. The 2.33 trades are older. There's a large number of traders asking for 2.66 and over, but due to the numbers available for less and the age of the available 2.33 trades, I'm leaving the high range at 2.33.

There's a bit of reading between the lines as outpost no longer returns trades with faded icons. We won't be able to see any sold trades through the search at all anymore.

Nooo, now it's even harder to track sold ones. :/

Maybe it would be the best to make a long list of links and check it 24 hours later.~

Trickier suggestions have been going along those lines already, it's definitely a useful approach. Trade creation times are definitely going to become more important with this change.

I'm hoping Outpost will make it an option to see trades where the icons have been faded out. I definitely see why they made the change, but people do want to see what past ones have gone for- and not just for making suggestions on backpack.tf ;)

Ikr. ;)

Where the icons have been faded out- that to see offer you just need to click on the ' faded out icon'.

That would be hidden messages. We're talking about searching for trades. So if you search for Battle Bob, you will only see trades where the Battle Bob icon is still present. For those who have 'trashed' the icon due to having completed the trade but are still selling other items, they will not turn up in the search.

Oh I understand what you are saying (English is not my native language), can search by the previous owner item

I'm getting a lot of support in the discussion I made on the Outpost steam group, so the issue of tracking sold ones be fixed sometime soon :D

Maybe they can make an extra option for including those, like:

[ ] Show trades with faded out ones

[ ] Show closed trades

[ ] Show normal trades

Glad to hear that! I had made a topic myself, but in the wrong board it seems and it simply got buried.

Needs to happen. It's very frustrating only having selling links.

link 1 bought for 1.66

Yep, I pointed that out. But the rate of buying is extremely slow, and these are the traders who intentionally buy cheap because they know they can very easily resell for higher. The bigger picture tells me that 1.66 purchases would go roughly as common as 2.66 sales.

fair enough

omg y u do dis u hav one in ur bp omg loloololol downvote

All jokes aside, very sturdy proof and reasoning. Upvote.

While also being the third lowballing ass in the provided buyer links. Conflict of interest no matter where I price :P

I'll leave this to cleverpun.

I shoulda closed the last one and made a suggestion for 2 flat; there's so much seller competition at 2+ that I didn't examine the previous suggestion as closely as I should have, since the votes supported it.

Ah well, hindsight, etc etc.
