The nostalgic Steam trading website

Approximately 10 years ago this humble trading website launched to the public and contrary to bots taking over trading (and the game), the fun times of phishing scams and Dave having been on staff for longer than 14 whole days - here we stand, and proudly so!

When the project was started by Fiskie and Accell, the aim was to create a more advanced trading site and a competitor to TF2 Outpost. Considering we are writing this announcement right now and Outpost is not, I think there is a certain success here.

Nowadays it is an alternative trading site run by Buddha as a developer, myself as a de facto owner, and Alpha as the head admin, that stuck to the old person to person trading system where as all other sites have adapted to bot trading. We think bot trading is cool too but we'd like to preserve the kind of trading we started with. We're not quite the Clubber Lang to Backpack.tf's Ivan Drago but it'd still make for a good training montage!

All of this could never have been done without the fantastic staff (and Dave) who have helped run the site over the years and the user base who has been like the Adrian to our Rocky. Without people who share our love for the traditional forms of trading, we would have shut down years ago. Thank you for continuing to stick with us, it's more than we could have ever hoped for!

This is the part where I tell you about the future, where I tell you about the many years we'll stick around and the cool things to come...but, do I even know? All I know is that this is a humble site not looking to throw hands anymore run by people who truly love the game and appreciate their community and that'll stay that way until the bell rings.

Yo Adrian, we did it!
