Quicksell Bots Suck...

[atomic]

i bought this unusual hat for like 8-9 keys, then when i go to sell it, some quicksell bots are selling it for like 7.5 keys on backpack.tf, it ruins the fun imo. Quickbuy bots are okay I guess if you wanna quicksell something, but quicksell bots only benefit the buyer, the sellers of the hat now have to sell their hat for probably less than they bought it for, which just sucks man...


I am new to unusual trading as you can tell, so idk if this will be a commonly occuring thing, if it is, im saying goodbye to trading.

Trade with real people in backpack.tf or something...

the problem is though, buyers wont care if they're quicksell bots, they're going to want me to sell them that hat for that price because they can just buy it from them for cheaper, see the problem here?

why did you buy it that high if there are sellers at 7?
the problem isn't the bots, its how many of that hat exist after the depression, the hat is priced 8-11 keys so with over 30 of the hat around it would still take one person listing at 11, then the next lists at 10 etc. and you're easily back to the current bot sell order

the sell orders came AFTER i bought it

but you should know that with the 10 seller, you would've only been able to sell at 9. 5 or 9 at best and that's assuming if the bots didn't have the hats that no one else would be selling them, which is not likely, someone else would have those hats and probably be listing it down to 9, 8 again

uhh i mean they are called quicksell so they sell it for less and buy for less than its actual price? Stop being stupid.

you don't understand, i didnt ask for your 2 brain cells to kickstart into maximum overdrive to tell me what a quicksell bot is. my post basically was just sharing my experience with quicksell bots. quickbuy bots are fine, i wouldn't be sad if they both were removed though.

okay, i apologize if that offended you, ill delete my post at nighttime.

for rex, the buy orders for like 5 keys are just bots, i dont pay attention to them, i pay attention to either sell orders or buy orders from people that aren't bots.

thats not my point
there's a normal, human seller at 10
so let's say the bots didnt exist, and the hats the bots have were instead in the hands of human players
now since there's over 30 of that specific hat, there's a very high chance those humans would be trying to sell their hat either way
so one lists at 9, then the next lists at 8 and you're back down to the exact same sell orders
