well this is the thing, there is a problem with two strange festive scatterguns that are diferrent prices but the page takes them like the same, one worths 15 keys and the other like 22ref

 

well the user is obviously as scammer because when i say the item dont worth that he start spamming in chat and blah blah blah, i didnt take pictures so i cant talk much but for avoid future scams. i think you need to repair this problem with this weapon, the two scatterguns are showed as different in steam, one pointing to the left and the other to right.

 

so thats all.

There are multiple ways to see if one is a festive or not. For example:i think the picture itself on steam shows differently, lights have different colour and there is the phone authentication. this is more of valve's thing they need to do since its on their platform and not on bp.tf

This is an incredibly common scam.

 

There is a difference between Festive and Festivized items. Festive weapons are items that were released for a short window during previous holiday seasons. Festivized weapons are items with a festivizer attached. A festivized item will not show up as a different item and will instead use the base item's price, as attaching the festivizer is just like applying a strange part or paint.

backpack.tf staff =/= steam staff. backpack staff aren't able to fix this issue, they run the site, not the game. the only thing they can do is make sure they're displayed differently on the site, which they already do.

Since when is it not bp issue? Its never been a steam issue. you can tell the difference through steam inventory. you cannot however, on this site.

you'd have to be a total dumbass to not be able to tell the two apart from here. if anything, you're more likely to tell the difference on the site than through steam, due to how broken the site is, in the way that it doesn't show the lights on most festivized items. that's not to mention the fact that festivized prices aren't at all based off festive prices on the site. please don't attempt to contribute to a post if you have no idea what you're talking about.

https://backpack.tf/item/2965671245 "Real" or "Festive" Scattergun yV7Cb2B.png

If only there was some way to tell the difference, like I dunno, different pictures, one with festive lights and one without.

Seems like bp.tf has done more than the Steam/TF2 team has to prevent confusion, on bp.tf, the Festivized/fake version doesn't even have lights on it, on steam it does.
Also, "Its never been a steam issue" actually when these were first released, it was a huge issue because steam didn't differentiate between the two

Or how about both backpack and steam having bright text in a different color saying FESTIVIZED.

i dont follow you.look at the first pic. it literally shows 'Festivized' while the lower pic which is the expensive real festive doesnt even state that kind of word except on the main weapon name in orange text

 

Moreover there are more different colours of festive on the expensive one and the thumbnail of the pic shows differently. If you fall for this scam,you just didnt use any common sense since steam have their phone authentication to double-check your trade

look the backpack and you know what i am talking about, the 15 keys scattergun and when you go to classifieds it really shows the worth, that is not a steam thing or yeah?

you must be new around here.the price shown on it is the price they are selling it but if you hover on the item,you can clearly see the actual price at below which shows 15 refs

I was pointing out how even ignoring how different the pictures are, one literally has bright text saying it’s not the real version.
