F CHARLIE Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 My premium ran out recently and I am curious how everyone else is doing. What is working? Personally, I am paying more attention to bazaar but I don't know if traffic is there. I have only received one trade offer in the last 3 - 4 days and almost no offers on my hats from either site. I know it is slow right now for many things and much of the activity is on the scm but still. What is working and where is it working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanny Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 is it really that hard to prioritize trades and bump them yourselves that you don't even use the site anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db thatdamnheathen Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Business as usual still manual bumping. Only real difference for me is now there's fewer dead posts to look over when trying to buy something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffeh Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Oper a timer, set to 30 minutes. Wait. Bump Repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scout608 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 because trading servers with about 30 peeps all with unusuals active at their computers willing to trade them and some might even have pure/ max and once on a blue moon have a houwar are overrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F CHARLIE Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 1. I don't live on my pc (phone) 2. Trade servers are a fail, mainly quick buyers or sharks Why doesn't bazaar work better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knavesmith Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Look at all of you complaining about losing your premium and refusing to bump manually while I'm here bumping my trades every 30 minutes for as long as I can remember.

sanny Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 i hate the whole "i don't live in front of my computer" excuse for not bumping trades. you don't HAVE to bump your damn trades every 30 minutes. if you feel the need to bump every 30 minutes, i doubt anyone wants what you're selling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an environment where hundreds of people compete to sell the same (or largely similar) items, being the one that gets seen first simply makes a difference.

Plus, by having to manually bump your trades you're essentially ignoring half the world--unlesss you have a sleep cycle, which means at some point over the course of a week you'll have bumped your trade at every single possible time.

This. I've seen unusuals with higher prices than mine sell before because their trade was bumped more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators OverduePixels Posted April 12, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 12, 2014 Because none of you used it so I stopped developing it So now I'm here Tough luck You should get back to it. Leaving it like that won't help the site, many on here are already considering moving to bazaar, if it is not updated regularly how will there be any heavy traffic ever? Bazaar has more great functions and more chances to succeed if it is well taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators OverduePixels Posted April 13, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 13, 2014 I've heard the exact same thing for two years as well as the classic "I'd use it but it needs more users" so I'll pass Well 2 years ago OP had tons and tons of premiums and now they are losing them because almost all that had premiums can't pay with cash or does not want to pay with cash to a trading site just to bump up their trades. If you have been here lately, you would have seen how many users here are considering moving to bazaar. Forget this site, just walk around outpost forums and the site the amount of complains are high due to their outrageous payment. Everybody wants to give bazaar a try but if you don't give a little bit of touch, like on the auctions and whatnot, it will give the site a big boost. You're giving up on bazaar?

It has more features, looks pretty clean, etc. Same here, no major problem in bazaar only that the auction side needs a little bit of touch and more restriction. Its a bit of chaos at the moment, people tend to cheat/escape/do other bad things in auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D: Giving up is not the choice man. Except for volume of traders, bazaar is the better site. Its a matter of traders putting trades and deals there to attract people to it. It doesn't take that much as trade.tf will direct people to a good deal anywhere it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeatballHLM Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I tried to sell my unusuals in bazaar, not a single offer I got in 2 weeks. On the other hand, same trade I put on outpost has at least 3, 4 offers. It's all about the amount of traders man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
