MC22 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 http://backpack.tf/vote/id/513e836bba2536cd5a00001b Some people have noted darwin05's recent suggestions have been a tad fishy. http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198057673629 This is darwin05's backpack. Note how the blizz cannonball's worth is over two thirds the total value. http://backpack.tf/u/76561198057673629 Darwin has actually made 122 suggestions, of which only 69 have been accepted. That is a 56% acceptance rate. I am not the best suggestor either, but I am 111 out of 121 accepted, a bit above 91%. http://backpack.tf/vote/?all=1&steamid=76561198057673629 so after taking nearly a 3 week break off suggesting, one week ago his first suggestion was on his own unusual, which he first tried to raise by a large amount: http://backpack.tf/vote/id/5135e5ac4bd7b87d1100000c but after being downvoted and closed on, raised it by a smaller amount. http://backpack.tf/vote/id/51385375ba2536891e000004 Keep in mind darwin had only a small amount of unusual pricing experience, before his 3 week break he only had 4 unusual suggestions accepted. Later he priced his own unusual upwards again, http://backpack.tf/vote/id/513ab8344bd7b8f220000009 , utterly forgetting unusual overpay. after being sucessful in bumping up his two unusuals, he decided to go on a same hat devaluation rampage. http://backpack.tf/vote/id/513c33504bd7b86c5900000b http://backpack.tf/vote/id/513c37e24bd7b8bf40000006 These two were put out without any consideration of solds, not even a "I couldn't find a sold". http://backpack.tf/vote/id/513c72e0ba25366020000022 This one was a bit worse, with multiple offers/sold at the at that time the suggested high end (now current). Sir J-j-jon accepted it with the statement, "It seems low but with two of these with 2 bud b/os id say its ok" , recognizing that darwin undervalued it. Every single suggestion after the 3 week break was an unusual, and with relation to his backpack. I used to think that darwin05 was a trustable person to upvote, until this week when I saw his iffy unusual suggestions. Am I still right, or is darwin05 using manipulating backpack.tf prices with minimal proof to his advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signify Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Regardless of his integrity what would you propose? Ban him for trying to raise the price of his own items? Practically everyone on backpack.tf started out trying to up the price of their items, presumably he never grew out of it. He has not violated any standing rules. Im playing devils advocate, personally I hate people trying to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief D Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm leaving this to the other admins as I try to stay away from unusuals. I'd like to see what happens though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im playing devils advocate, personally I hate people trying to do this. I take offense to that.... the very first suggestion i made was to lower the value of an item i had multiple copies of (and have yet to propose raising the price of an item i own--keys aside).

I said practically, apparently you do not fit to this. No reason to take offense, in fact, why even comment on it? Obviously this person is and a lot of people I have seen are and if you are not great! This forum is not about you however it is about darwin05.

Brad Pitt Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I tend to think that people owning a particular item might have more knowledge than random people on what its value is. The only trouble is people owning the item tend to over-value it. So it always makes this a bit harder to manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I have pointed out some of his stuff. I back checked his o fire suggestion and it appeared to be ok. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt as far as the shady stuff goes, but imo his suggestions should be checked better. He prices mostly off refused offers.

Stormy Outerland Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 The first suggestion of mine that ever passed was based on my own want to raise the average price. It had no proof and was completely opinion, but it still passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranwell96 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 So now this a topic about first suggestions? Mine was an attempt to increase my bp value: http://backpack.tf/vote/id/5062fc2149d7b87e60000000 http://backpack.tf/vote/id/5062fcb849d7b8f361000000 I never got around to making a proper suggestion for them, there's just no good proof.
