Banksy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 So since I'm new here I'm wondering what the difference between an item ID highlighted in red means and what a item ID highlighted in green means. I know red highlight = ID isnt in order, but why does the ID turn green right after that? (sometimes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomp Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The red ID means that another item with the same ID exists. In other words, item duped The green ID is very fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praise Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Green is the go signal. When the light turns red, you must come to a full stop. In all seriousness, the red means that the person who owns that item was banned or tagged on steam rep. Or the item was duplicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know red highlight = ID isnt in order, but why does the ID turn green right after that? (sometimes) ex.png let me answer your actual question unlike literally everyone else backpack.tf/item/3120493298 a clean item shows the ID changing. a new ID is generated every time it's traded. the ID number gets higher and higher as more are generated. this follows in chronological order. the older the hat, the higher the ID number. http://backpack.tf/item/175498229 the red numbers are numbers which are lower than the one chronologically before, yet which appear in a backpack after it chronologically. so logically it's quite likely that the next item ID generated will be bigger than the red one and appear after it, so that will be green.

☾Link✞Skorpion☽ Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Green = LegitRed = Duped or once owned by marked trader.If it's red, don't expect full price from an experienced trader. Otherwise, go nuts with trading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Dynamite Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Red = Duped Green = OK The ID Number Changes Each Time An Item Is Traded Changing To A Higher Number If The Item Has A Lower ID Than The Previous Trader Than The Item Has Been Duped So Stay Far Away From Them Also The Backpack History Will Blatantly Tell You If The Item You're Trading For Is Duped Or Not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
