Feel free to suggest on what I should add to this thread.
- Please, link to your backpack! Use TF2Items , TF2B or a similar website. This also allows people to contact you through Steam.
- Link to your steam profile when you make an offer in someone's thread, so he and/or she can contact you back for the potential thread!
- Bumping is allowed! Do it for when your offer still stands or for updates, but please keep common sense in mind and don't do it excessively!
- Keep your thread updated, remove offers that no longer are valid.
- Asking ingame or in TFP chat is fine, just don't spam your request.
- We have no rules against trading in TFP servers, but please exercise common sense. Try to keep trading during a non-lethal phase of the game, such as during a setup round, people won't appreciate an idle player during a frantic game!
- If you have a large number of items to trade, make a single thread rather than several.
Tips:
- If you have any rare sought after items you think people want, or if there is a item you really want, make sure to mention them in your thread title!
- Dedicating a whole backpack page for items you're willing to trade/craft away is a good idea! Personally I'll recommend page 1 for this purpose, especially if you already have most items already (just remember to move any items you want to keep off the first page when you do get them).
- Try to make fair offers. Keep in mind of the rarity of the item as well, just don't post any ridiculous offers such as "GRU for Demoman's Fro".
Useful links:
- Team Fortress 2 Wiki
- TF2Wiki Paintcan preview article, check before wasting your paint!
- TF2Wiki article on crafting
- TF2Items, the classical backpack viewer
- Raw list of all items, good if you want to check whenever something new drops or not! (Check the "Can be found:" part of the description)
- TF2items crafting, somewhat more verbose than the TF2wiki's article
- TF2B, an alternative to TF2items, shows all backpack pages at once!
- TF2 Stats: Hat Rarity index! Use this to determine how rare a certain hat is!
