Unique Weapons with names pricing and advertising

[big dick]

I want to buy unique weapons that have been named by other users. I'm struggling to find anything on any website about how it would be priced or even how I would set up such a trade. I USED to use tf2outpost, but that seems far and gone nowadays. I also want to reach as many "newer players" as possible (I want the most authentic named items), basically, I'm asking where I would be seen the most with such a weird trade.

 

Any ideas to any of the questions posed?

Probably trade servers or casual tbh. Could also sift through scrap everyday.

I was hoping for something I could set and forget. When you say sift through scrap, do you mean scrap.tf bots?

Don't bother trying to do it on the backpack classifieds, staff will suspend your account for "queue cutting" - learned this the hard way when trying to buy conscientious objectors with wholesome decals already applied.

 

There is also no way to facilitate trades such as paint swapping (my white painted hat for your pink painted hat) for example.

 

Yes you could use forums/discord/reddit, and yes you can waste time hopping trade servers to advertise specialty trades such as this, but you're still never going to get an actual trade that way. These are just some of the reasons I miss old school p2p trade sites like tf2outpost.

and yet listing buy orders for spelled variants of items at terrible prices, but enough to leapfrog unspelled buy orders, then saying "also buying unspelled, will beat other buy orders!", isn't queue cutting. What a joke of a rule.

You should never pay more than the price of a nametag, so that's the upper limit of what you should pay.

I found some in the scrap bots on stntrading.eu as well. More luck there than scrap.tf... I'm not even sure if the names show up on scrap.tf scrap bots? Can anyone confirm? I looked through all the bots yesterday and didn't see any with names.

It's not queue cutting because the listing specifies that they are buying spelled variants in the formatting of the item itself. There is no option to select "named only variants" within the structure of the listing process, and it is therefor line/queue cutting. The rule is 100% consistent and absolutely makes sense with the features currently present on backpack.

So there's no way to leave a trade up for a buy offer of uniquely named uniques in today's trading sphere, just so we're clear? If so, that's lame and someone should create a tf2outpost or sorts!

[big dick]

Hilarious but out of my price range. STNtrading.eu seems to be where the gold is...

Why would I overpay you if I can just buy it myself? 

[big dick]

I'm having some sort of internal error trying to make the trade post but I appreciate this answer. Thank you so much! I'll try it tomorrow...
