New button on every item's page called price is outdated

[Happysedits]

So my idea is this:

 

Example of situation: Item is selling only on 8.66, and bp.tf price is 9 ref. Someone will notice it and click on button that will request to update a price. All these reported outdated items should go to some page, and when suggesters will suggest, they can see, what people reported and can lower price of that item.

 

it could help to more update prices

Not exactly sure what you mean, however, do you mean that if there's a trend in the listings / classifieds of an items that goes against bp.tf for a while, the price should have a notation saying the bp.tf price is outdated?

I dunno, the abuse potential for that is kinda high.

I'm having trouble visualizing what you said. Or what you meant rather. Could you go into further detail?

i mean like people can report items that for example sells for 8.66 in classifields, but bp.tf price is 9 ref

and sugegsters could look at it and make a suggestion

 

 

sorry for my explainign english D:

if you mean like a button on a page or whatever that you hit that reports that it's out dated when someone could really just be quickselling it? Am I missing something?

 

That's what I'm getting from what you're telling me. Or is it like a button that you hit that could indicate that it needs an update?

[Cave]

Soooooo....

You just mean a extra tab on the main website with suggestions for people to create a suggestion for a item?

That would get abused alot, i mean the idea self is ok, but it just would get abused by users for these weird items that don't even excist.

Wouldn't it be a bit better to just make a thread here, with people submitting items that may need a price update?

[AFFIRMATIVE]

He probably means that if an item would have a set price on backpack.tf (for example 9 ref), yet people are keep selling that item for lower (8.66) and he suggested a report button that would otherwise make the moderators (or other users) aware that there are people that keep selling it lower than its actual price.

 

As in, he probably wants a more efficient way for the users to be aware of the price change on an item without waiting for weeks to be spotted by someone.

and by that, more often updated prices = backpack.tf better price for pricing

but this thread is about adding a button to website, that one is just thread :/

[ShadowMan]

Do you really know what market flow is? By adding that button you basically confirm that bp.tf prices are a bible, not a guide.

Nope, I don't see this being useful in the slightest, would just get abused.

[DainbowRash]

Eh, sorry I only see abuse here. I mean if you are REALLY lazy and want someone else to do it I suppose you could leave a comment on an experienced suggestor's profile. Other than that I don't see it being used for it's intended purpose.
