CLoudy Skies Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hey there! So, I have a classified listing on backpack.tf for a certain item. My buy order was the best out there for that item, and I received a few trades each day. There were bots, but their buy prices were ridiculously low. Now the bots made their price dangerously close to mine and I'm afraid they might increase the price so much that I'll be out of commission... Because after a certain limit there is no profit whatsoever and bots might stop just below that limit and I can't raise my buy price anymore. Also, if I have the same price as a bot, people will buy from bots because they are automated... While I'm not. I wouldn't really like to set up a bot myself, cause I have no idea how they work or someone might exploit the bot for some reason... That's just sceptical, I know. Also if I do the trade it feels much more satisfying to be honest. So... Any advice on what to do next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tea Overlord Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 deal with it, make your own bot or pick different items to buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaeriel Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Personally I can't stop myself from comparing that to irl situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only 3 keys and 20 ref so I can't be really picky about what I want to trade. As for making my own bot, is bptf automatic the way to go? I don't know how does it work, is there some sort of an instruction manual or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, i wanted to keep it a secret but there's no point anymore, I'm buying vintages and selling them at steam community market. It isn't really fast but it has worked really well, I'll do that while I can. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful9Love Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Try the new war paints, they're p desirable in certain skins. You can also rape the scm by buying terrible war paints selling at the price of crates, applying them to weapons and reselling to people.I did it for like a week, turned 20 cents into two dollars within a day. gl.

No I meant a source stating they are working on a new one, which is below that caps at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
