Some people have noted darwin05's recent suggestions have been a tad fishy.

This is darwin05's backpack. Note how the blizz cannonball's worth is over two thirds the total value.

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%.

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/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?

I think most people have used it to their advantage on more than one occasion.

I am very uneloquent, I tried changing it to what I meant.

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.

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.

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.

Simple solution, only let honest suggestions like me suggesting prices

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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

It was probably months ago, or probably the admin checked the market and your suggestion was right.
