AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Ability to make a list on Backpack.tf of a items, and they would display the previous price, the current price, and any pending suggestions. The purpose being to make it easy to keep track of the items you're dealing with on a regular basis. I.e. if you're flipping a certain group of items (2011 Strange Festives) you're going to want to know if/when any of them fluctuate. Currently i just use the calculator to do it, but it gets annoying it isn't very good for a quick glance, it doesn't show the past price or any pending suggestions.

The G What ™ Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 This is a good idea. As someone that buys and flips strange weapons, my profit margins are infringed when one of them begins to dip below price. Currently you can use the trade.tf spreadsheet to help, but it's not perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Calculator is actually better atm, it's just annoying since you have to remember how much you're selling/buying at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusKy Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 It would be great if we could "watch" certain items and their prices. If the price changes, you get a notification on the website. To watch an item, you go to its info page (e.g. http://backpack.tf/stats/5021/6/0) and click "Watch" button. If the price changes (suggestion passes), you receive a notification about it. What do you think guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Seems like something a lazy person would want. Anyways this idea has been brought up numerous times in the past with people wanting to know which items in their backpack have recently changed values, so its nothing particularly new. Brad, if he ever implements it, won't do it for a long time simply because there are more important, behind the scene updates he's trying to get ready to push.

HusKy Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 It has nothing to do with being lazy. Checking pricelist daily becomes a boring chore after a while. It would be nice to know about the changes without looking for them. And I know he is working on the backpack update, but this would be relatively easy to implement, since the notifications part is already there.

Meltron Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I suggested this in the old (Steam) forums, and Brad said that he already plans to implement this. (I don't got a link though, seems like he deleted the forums in the steam group) As an alternative, you could also follow the bp.tf twitter acc, but then you will get notifications about all price changes I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Pitt Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Twitter account posts all prices except unusuals to keep the spam level acceptable, but a "watch" feature is definitely planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfHeart Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Wouldn't this cause more massive panic every time a price drops? You get a buyer who wants the item, then he receives a notification about it dropping in price and then changes his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a buyer who wants the item, then he receives a notification about it dropping in price and then changes his mind. Any useful features will result in more stupid, its just inevitable.... i.e. people who use trade calculator and then call you a scammer because it says they're losing a lot of profit solely because it doesn't recognize renamed/painted/parted items.

Dystopia Dust Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm kinda new to this backpack.tf thing but I would like to know can you "follow" prices so that once you log in, you can see the prices of the items you are following and don't need to search them one by one?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
