How do YOU find matching traders?
Hey all,

I am looking for a more efficient way to find potential traders. Currently I am:

  1. opening a Wishlist item
  2. opening all Tradeable user profiles in a new tab
  3. closing the ones without a Match
  4. comparing matched item values

Steps 1-3 are tedious. Ideally, there'd be a list of matching traders on the item page.

How are you doing this? Is there a userscript for this? Am I missing a site feature?

  • Click on you profile image on the top right corner.
  • Click on "Wishlist"
  • Click on "Match"
  • Pick a game you want to find matches for in the "Want" combo box
  • Click on "Mutual Matches"

A list of all users having your selected game for trade will appear, along with matches from your Tradable collection.

From then onward just click on the button "Begin Offer to <X>" for every trader you find a match suitable for you.

Hope this helps. Happy trading!

@r6d2 YES, that's exactly what I needed. Thanks!

When I first opened the page, I thought it was just bad coding, allowing me to match myself. I didn't see the game selector.

You've unveiled the most useful site feature of all :)

BTW, you don't need to pick a game on the combo box. If you don't, you'll get all possible matches, although with big lists it can be a little messy.

Also, the Mutual Matches feature works from your Tradable collection as well, for the case when you have a game for trade and want to see what can you get for it.

Cheers!
