New bazzar/outpost type prototype in the working.

Recommended Posts

Hello everybody, my friend Juhazayski is working on buliding a new site to replace the now inactive bazzar and outpost, the site is nearly done and the steam group has been created. (https://steamcommunity.com/groups/MannCorner

Right now, we are looking for ideas/concepts from the community so we can launch a complete and working website that will hopefully give some older traders a slice of the old days when those sites were active.

add a tiktok brainrot area and have ads that play obnoxious podcast commericials like spotify while subway surfers plays on the screen with an unclosable tab and every time you successfully watch an ad you gain a listing slot

Yeah honestly, I would use it a lot more if it was divided into 3 panels

 

Left panel would be a random youtube video or youtube player. Middle would be the site, right would be subway surfers gameplay.


Would really capture attention

What happened to posts.tf

exists, but a competition wouldn't hurt as posts.tf is mostly abandoned

What I personally miss from TF2OP and csgolounge is the ability to properly comment and explain what I'm trading and what the conditions are, and then get offers on the thread rather than have people add me, currently there isn't any site where I can list cs skins for tf2 keys without avoiding 10 people adding me with shit offers

A few anti spam feature could be implemented, such as no "buying quicksell" posts or "selling everything in my backpack" posts where you don't actually list anything specific and expect people to care
what ended tf2op I think was the repetitive listings users made to get their quicksell post show up on the main page, or posts that said "buying x unusual" but was actually a disguised quicksell post where they wanted to buy anything as long as it was 50% off 
random ideas:

>make it easy to see cs skins with stickers visible and floats
>make it easy to see spells on tf2 items
>add links to community market page / bp.tf page when you click over an item

Not super hot on the name, but I guess it doesn't matter as long as the site is good.

 

I really enjoy what @lucak had to say. And Implementing any sort of utility features beyond buying and selling items would be good for the site's health too.

 

Tradeup calculator?

HQ SFM Footage of all effects? All Sheens and Killstreakers? Spells?

Database features? (semi related to ^) Not as a way to compete with backpacktf, more as a way to draw users into using the site for more than just "might as well post it on there too".

ask yourself the question, why did they close?
 I wanted to do it 2 years ago, but after weighing all the pros and cons, I realized it wasn't worth it.

Just remake outpost.

Features are fun, but you should think about this from more of a business standpoint than anything else. 

 

Think about profitability. Get some estimates for servers & website hosting, as well as admin & dev costs. Weigh that against things like expected ad revenue and premium usership.
