mine is when people send you offers for certain items when you haven't even listed them, like today when i got this circling tf logo gonzilla, and 4 hours later i received an offer for it.

what are you pet peeves?

People who "add you to trade" and ghost you when you tell them to just send a trade offer. 

 

People who can't even match bp.tf buy orders when offering on your item. 

 

"You're selling your item for 20 keys? Let me offer you this cancer unusual priced at 20 keys then!"

 

Someone sends you a lowball offer, you decline, and they KEEP RE-SENDING IT.

 

Anyone who trash talks your prices unwarranted in general, like get a freakin' life...

 

I could write an entire book on this.

When people say the economy is dead, and/or trading is hard since they are getting no offers. They expect people to always send them the offers instead of being active an sending out offers themselves.

People who think that just because I'm a collector, that I'll either jump on anything remotely related to the collection or that I'm willing to buy something on massive markup.

By this you mean people offering you shitty deals on their green confetti unusuals?

People who think they deserve to do what they do even if that deed is wrong and irritating for most that's because they knew someone in charge.

For example: Exploiting premium search to shark people and get away with it that's because they are friends with moderators.

It's not because they're friends with moderators. I have no clue where you got that idea in your head. Sharking is just really hard to prove actually happened, even if it's suspected.

I can't name a single person who had a ban lifted just because they're friends with a moderator, and I'm willing to bet you can't either.

Have this all the time, with people adding me about their level 100 Unique hats. Yes I am a level 100 collector, no I don't want to buy your Unique hat with a massive markup.

Experience, my friend. You should spend more time on forums and unusual suggestions.

When people feel the need to tell me what their item is "worth" then I check the classifieds and see that they've listed it themselves for way less.

Brokers.

a. If you can't invest the time yourself, why bother trading.

b. People that pretend to broker so they can try to force you into a bad deal, because "My client doesn't like that." When they are very clearly not actually talking to someone else. Also seen this used as a tactic for overpriced SCM item sharking.

c. I wouldn't trust any broker from this forum to get a good deal. Most of their valuation on items in price check threads make me laugh.

d. Broker is just another word for Exit Scammer.

1. When people offering on your item(s) expects you to overpay 

2. Mentioned many times before but people randomly adding you then go away for the rest of their existence

3. People suddenly changing personalities after you decline their shitty item

4. People praising and grasping at straws to somehow glorify their shitty item 

5. Saying "Hm. Let me think about it" to every offer you give them 

6. Trying to convince you that dupes don't matter but then asks for 50% discount if yours is duped

7. Using buy orders as a platform to evaluate "price" of items

8. Lying/bluffing about c/o to milk every scrap out of you

9. God damn bots undercutting my fucking listings I set last night by a scrap and not realizing till I check the next morning only to find out I wasted a whole night 

10. And worst of all bUt BaCkPacK.tF sAid iTs wOrTh 100000 kEys sO I aM oVeRpAyiNg *5 year outdated price

People raising the price of a unusual on bpt.tf with 1 sale evidence .

 

Fun thing this proof is their own purchase (or one of their friend). With of course a huge overpay

When people get angry, start swearing at me, insulting me, and even threatening me when I decline one of their trade offers. Mind you, their offer was absolute trash, would make me lose out over 100+ keys, and he offered on items that I clearly indicated were NOT FOR SALE.
