ScepterBlade Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hello there! This is my first time posting in this forum. Anyway, I am pretty interested in upgrading my backpack.tf account to premium just to use the item search function for craft numbers. I do have a few inquires though. 1) Just what does the Item Search do? Does it search through private backpacks as well? 2) What is the estimated amount of items I would be able to find? I collect #758 items and I already managed to obtained 52 and located 37 more of them. Will the item search prove useful to me since I have already located 89 of them? 3)Will there be any advantages as compared to Donators? 4) Can I use the item search to help my friends with some items? 5) Is there a possibility in the future to pay via TF2 Currency instead? I appreciate any form of assistance from this. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jymotion Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 1) I don't believe it is possible for anyone to search private backpacks 2) checking out the system here: http://backpack.tf/premium it does not look like you would be able to search for #758, though I am not premium, so maybe there are things I cannot see 3) perks of premium: http://backpack.tf/premium/subscribe vs perks of donators: http://backpack.tf/donate 4) you may not 5) I do not / would not know Brad replied below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the system allows other craft numbers when requested, have to look for a moderator of sort in this. That's the main thing I'm looking out for. Anyway, I appreciate your help, once again, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Pitt Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I already responded via PM to this, but in case others are interested since you posted it here: Hello there! As the creator of backpack.tf, I understand that you are very busy, I do hope you will be able to reply to be in the shortest time possible though. I am interested in getting premium in backpack.tf mainly for just the craft numbered search function. I do have some inquires that I hope you will be able to answer1) Just what does the Item Search do? Does it search through private backpacks as well? The item search goes through the stats.tf database, if a private backpack has been scanned in the past, the items are still in the database so in theory, yes as long as it found it at least once before it was private, but it won't update with new info unless the account was made public again.2) What is the estimated amount of items I would be able to find? I collect #758 items and I already managed to obtained 52 and located 37 more of them. Will the item search prove useful to me since I have already located 89 of them? 127 #758 exist in the database3) Will there be any advantages as compared to Donators? All the advantages are the same as the donator perks (20$+) plus additionally you get extra entries in the raffles, and a premium only raffle. There may be more advantages in the future.4) Can I use the item search to help my friends with some items? You can, nobody is going to stop you. But you should not be sharing your account credentials with your friends.5) Is there a possibility in the future to pay via TF2 Currency instead? I am not sure about this yet, but it is a possibility.6) How long does it take before a request of a specific number (#758 in my case) take before I can search it? I need to add it to a script (5 minutes) and run a query on the full database, that takes about 30 minutes. After that, all known #758 will be searchable.Thanks!

ScepterBlade Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I have no further inquires of this matter. Seeing that there is an estimated 38 more in the database and possibly more to come, I'm very tempted to become premium for this alone. Thank you very much for your fast and detailed response.
