fucking help me sell all this bullshit for some good cash
Hello there!I have made a Steam Bot that buys Steam Trading Cards, Backgrounds and Emoticons for TF2 SCRAP!! You would asking yourself "Why should I use your bot instead of other bots?".First,my bot has no stock limit , that means u can sell/buy as many cards/backgrounds/emoticons as u wish.Second my bot also buys backgrounds/emoticons insted of just cards like other bots. My bot is really easy to use , just sent him a trade offer and he will accept it within seconds. THE BOT https://steamcommunity.com/id/tradebotftw123 If u encounter any bugs with the bot please don't hesitate to contact me https://steamcommunity.com/id/dangerbot/ For the moment the bot has a small stock of cards/metal , if u guys request more cards/metal it will be added soon! Prices : B> Card/Background/Emoticon 0.11 metal S> Card/Background/Emoticon 0.33 metal
I honestly don't feel like it's needed to charge for things like this. I'll do just about everything for free but if you ask for some extravagant crazy thing you'll have to pay up.
Just tell me the stuff below and I'll get on it ye.
So, you just got your amazing loadout for that class you love? Let's say Scout, and now you want a poster right? Then you came to the right person!
Check out my Steam profile, all the info you need is in there. Here is a sneaky peak of what i do: http://imgur.com/gallery/oTsw3
Posters can be done less than an hour, unless they are a bit difficult, add me on steam and we will talk about it (prices are listed in there too). http://steamcommunity.com/id/LukenStruken/
Hello notes * i'm always buying quicksell everydays so even if you see this post in years i'm still buying
I'm buying unusuals quicksell stock is 400 keys I'm not interested in unusuals over 120 keys I like bulk deal of unusuals
*I can buying unpriced unusuals but I don't care about seller price so don't try to overpicing isn't because your hat have seller at 50 keys is really worth 50 keys
*I don't have a buying rates so may be 20 % off or 45 % off so really depend unusuals so don't mean i will buying any unusuals for 30 % off may be more or less
*Don't be mad if you dislike my offer remembers you quickselling

*I like bulk deal so if you want sell 10 unusauls at same time you can do
*Give me your best price or told me how much i will pay (please tell me if you are willing to quickselling before asking my price, sometime kid block me because i offer a 'quicksell price')
Send me trade offer or add me (comment before add me)
If you do not add me on Steam, I won't work on your request. Here is some of my favorite work I have done with SFM: http://imgur.com/a/a8z4n
You can pay me whatever you feel the poster is worth, but that is the only requirement. It can be as many classes as you like, whatever map you like, whatever workshop item you'd like, so on and so forth. Hope to hear from some of you soon!
Hello, bazaar.tf user! Are you interested in some commissioned work? Then I can help you with it! I, J.D SFM, for the price of 2-3 ref. (depending on the type) will create any Team Fortress 2 themed posters. Just add me on steam and you must tell me those things:
1. Class:
2. Map:
3. Loadout (send me a picture of it or write the names of the items):
Me and my mate Chingalong are currently making tf2 sfm posters for a small price. The prices will be displayed on my steam profile. All you need to do is comment on my steam profile saying why you added me. The form will be displayed on my profile once you click 'view more info' The sfm will be completed in 1-2 days depending on the queue.
I'm a brand new broker trying to get into TF2 brokering. I know for a fact that because I'm new people aren't going to trust me but I am offering my services for a tiny tiny fee. Obviously because the quality of unusuals and other highly sought out items are not static and don't deserve a percentage fee, I am willing to do my services for no more than a key. This is a wonderful opportunity for those trying to get rid of their unusuals but don't have time. Obviously for you who are seasoned, I am not going to be the one for you, but this site has many other wonderful users who will fit your style.
Why I'm your best option for a broker
Clean Steamrep many years of service in many games I've got random accolades and other bullshit thats mildly irrelevant.
There aren't any people I will NOT broker for, unless you've got a bad past. Obviously, I'm providing the service so I do not interrogate my users. My job is to move your assets as fast as possible for you, not to question and harass you.
I will broker whatever you want moved, however I'm not very well versed in some things. I do have extensive amounts of time and would be willing to learn.
If you're interested in having your items brokered or you've got any questions I'm over at
steamcommunity.com/id/zalebcaleb steamcommunity.com/id/officialcsgod instagram.com/cs_god instagram.com/cs_godspam I am aware I do have a VAC ban, however it was in Insurgency, I haven openly admitted this. I'm not attempting to hide it, and I have addressed it with New World Order, the developers of the game and I've since apologized and learned my mistakes.
I'm completely transparent, the reason for a second steam account was for card farming as well as smurfing in counter strike.

I am currently opening myself up to a more public audience for my ability to mess around with TF2 files, and not screw over my game.
I am offering the service of applying full color decals to any Objector or Flair. Normally items will have a few colors for decals, and not a full color image. Here is an example of my work
I am not charging for this service. You must supply the decal tool and item to me, along with the image in some form of safe link (Puush, imgur, etc) The image will have to be cropped to a smaller size, and I request that it should be as square as possible, but I am willing to crop images a bit. I will also send a "final" version of the cropped image to you via Puush or imgur, but only if requested ahead of time. Should take only about 5-7 Minutes depending on the image and/or item servers.

Brief Summary (TL;DR) Between the Successfully Brokered Unusuals, and Links
I am currently offering brokering services for any and all people. I broker any item whether it is unusual, australium, hat, misc, weapon, strange, vintage, whatever. I would write you out everything that I'd need to ask of you in full detail, but linking you would be much easier.
I'll put all the relevant links at the end so you may easily find them. Now, I have a set price with whatever I broker, it's not 5% this, or 10% that, it's a set rate no matter how cheap or expensive your item is. "But Jack! How can we trust you?" I'm glad you asked. (I know you likely didn't ask, but for the sake of this, I'll presume you did) Well, I've over the years (Over 2 years to come to think of it.) I've been stupidly bored of waiting around for something to happen I pretty much ONLY trade on TF2 these days, I don't have the cares or knowledge on how to play pub properly (MvM I can work with) So, with the lack of wanting to play public matches to get better at the game, all I do is trade. TF2 is Trade Fortress 2, to me. So I've been trading for a very, very long time. I've gotten a bit of rep here and there, I've donated to some servers, I'm an admin of a couple, I've got donator on backpack.tf (Highest donator rank), I've got premium on TF2 Outpost (I always keep it topped up, yearly.) so help my trades even more, 30 minute bumps here, hour bumps there. Spent a stupidly long time on TF2, over 5K Hours.
"Well that's great Jack, but it clearly says 'BUYING, and Selling' in the title" Yes, it does, that's because I don't work alone, I may broker and sell things for people, but I have a friend who also buys items for people (Link for his details will also be at the end) He does what I can't do, basically, and that's find items to buy for people, I'm great with selling, but when it comes to buying things for people, my friend is better, simple as. Can he find you that unusual you're looking for but can't find? Yes. Can he find that collector's item without a stupid killstreak on it like the ones you been finding? Yes. I personally wouldn't doubt him for a second.
So, it's all good a well me telling you this, but without evidence of anything selling anything, I doubt it's that great. Sadly, I can't give you screenshots, but I have noted down every item I've sold for people attached to the date of when I've sold them, as of this thread I've sold exactly 130 items for people, I would say it's different item per person, but a few people have come back and used my services quite a few times so I've honestly lost track as to what I've sold for who.

Lastly, The things I broker, I put onto my profile, so anything that shows up there, I'm brokering it, you're welcome to buy it. :)
DUE TO THE HUGE VOLUME OF ORDERS (11 in the past week). THIS STORE IS CURRENTLY CLOSED - I WILL NOT BE TAKING ANY NEW ORDERS UNTIL ALL CURRENT ORDERS ARE COMPLETED.
As of 12/15/13 bots sold by me have completed over 4,000 successful trades (this excludes bots which I've developed for the alfbots network which were sold with an open source option and thus don't talk to my licensing system).
Premade bots at a glance: See bottom of post for details on the bots and examples of them in the wild. These are bots that I've already made and thus will resell at discounted prices. I can make minor cosmetic modifications for free, if you want more substantive features see my custom pricing options.
[Edit: this list is getting too long for me to keep up with. Please contact me about your bot and I'll tell you if I have a premade option close to your request that does not require new code]
Sales Pitch:
Wish you could make money in your sleep? Want to buy and sell hundreds of items quickly without having to click and drag each one into the trade window? Want to offer complex financial assets, give users special discounts, appraise inventories or provide some other automated service?
This has been possible for a long time and I strongly recommend that you check out Jessecar's SteamBot on github. It has made it infinitely easier to design and manage highly complex and customizeable trading bots. It's also a great way to develop coding skills.
However, I know that some people don't have the time or interest learn to degree of coding necessary to create more complicated blocks. Some people may not even have the time or skill to compile simple versions of the bots. That's where I come in. If you are looking to buy a tf2 trading bot, this is a good place to start.
Details:
I will work with you to design specific to specification. I give free quotes about how much the bot will cost to develop and the amount of time it will take to develop the bot. When the bot is complete you will have a nice SteamBot.exe file with custom userHandler(s) built in. I will provide limited support for fixing bugs that may arise with the bots after purchase.
As a general rule bots are licensed to 3 steamIDs for use to prevent resale. If you are interested in larger scale deployments we can work out different licensing specifications to suit your needs. If you want the source code for your tradebot I can provide that also.
Development times depend heavily on a variety of factors including the complexity of the bot, the amount of free time I have and the amount of money you are willing to pay ;)
Here's an example of a manual for a bot I recently developed so that youc an get a better idea of what I do an how it works: http://issuu.com/tf2bots/docs/manual
Pricing
Pricing is generally assessed on a per-customer basis. Since most of my bots are custom-made and unique it's hard to give specific prices. Generally, I try to bill myself at the equivalent of 10-15USD / Hour, which is dirt cheap for programming but because I really treat this as a way to encourage me to stop being lazy and work on my programming skills I'm willing to do that. If there is enough of a market for bots I may raise my pricing to be more in-line with industry standards (think $40 /hour minimum for .net development).
Scrapbanking Bot (Buys 2 weapons with 1 scrap, sells 2 weapons for 1 scrap): 5-11 keys depending on additional features [do you want the bot to provide change for example?]
Single Item Bots (Buy and sell buds/keys/whatever at customizeable prices): 10-15 keys depending on additional features
Simple Type Bots (Similar to single item but buys a variety of things at identical prices, think crafthats for example): 12-18 key depending on additional features
Complex Type Bots (For example, I just completed one for a customer that deals in paints and trades at different buy/sell prices for each paint): 1 - 2 buds depending on additional features
Whole Market Bots (Can buy and sell any item at any user-configured price): 2-3 buds
Bots with API Integration (Changes prices automatically according to specific APIs, like backpack.tf): 3-7 buds depending on the complexity involved in integrating the API, number of items the bot has to handle and other additional features. 7 buds would be close to the cost of a bot that used the entire backpack.tf API, whereas if you were to use only small subsections of the API such as paint prices the cost could be substantially less as I wouldn't need to work in so much code optimization to get it to run with reasonable speeds.
Intelligent Bots with API Integration (Uses algorithms designed through consultation with the user to anticipate market trends and sell based off of anticipated prices - these are major coding projects, I'll be working on it for several weeks likely and make no guarantees about the success of your algorithm, only a promise to implement it faithfully in code): very dependent on the algorithm and the number of items the bot has to handle, unlikely to cost less than 5 buds ever could easily see bots that would require 10-16 buds to convince me to implement, these are for high-stake traders who think they can anticipate the market in a meaningful way, these are not geared towards newbies who want magic solutions to trading.
Financial Assets (Some things I currently have prototypes of include Loans, Derivatives and Stocks. Imagine opening up your key bot and then allowing investors to help you raise capital in exchange for shares and dividends from the bot): Bots with these features are probably better purchased by groups than by individuals, get an assessment from me - attempt to raise startup capital and I'll work with you on making it happen. Do not be surprised if costs are upwards of 20-30 buds.
Web Integration: I currently do not offer this for any of my bots, but I may do so at a later time. The cost of web development, testing and deployment is just too high for the current tf2 economy imo.
Other options: In addition to the base cost of a bot you may wish to add certain features such as giving discounts to frequent purchasers for example - these are priced based on a variety factors including the number of users you will need to manage. Additionally you may wish to purchase exclusivity - ensuring that I do not sell the bot I design to you for anyone else - this can also have an impact on where the price falls. If you wish to buy source code and/or resell the bots yourself we can also work that out.
Your ideas: That's what I'm really here for. Instead of using this as a kind of "what's on the menu today?" store I challenge you to imagine what your trade bots can do and then challenge me with developing it. I find that use coders sometimes get stuck in implementing the same thing over and over again and people who can think outside the box can sometimes come up with brilliant ideas
Rep
So, this is the perfect scam pitch, and I am completely aware of that fact. I earnestly want to build a reputation as a coder and to help make bots available to more than just a few large websites. I think that one of the main inhibitors to rapid growth in the tf2 economy is that assets are not liquid enough. That is, in order to make a trade you have to invest substantial amount of time into finding a buyer by constantly posting on trade websites, idling in trade servers, etc. I think that everyone in the tf2 economy stands to benefit from lower transaction costs and that increasing the availability of these advanced trading tools is the way to do that.
However, right now I wouldn't trust me either - I've been around the market for years but not as a big trader and certainly not enough to justify you trusting me. Running a bot means the following things will have to happen on your computer: 1) You will have to run an executable file sent to you by a stranger 2) You will have to give that file access to a steam account (preferably an alt)
These are both very dangerous things to do.
Currently, there are a few ways to go about making trades you and I both feel safe about:
1) Down Payments will be temporarily waived - I'll develop the bot and then keep it / sell it to someone else if you back out of the deal. There is no way I can run off with your money before going through all of the effort of coding the bot you requested.
2) Demos - Before running a single bit of code on your computer I will run the bot on my own end and allow you to test and interact with it fully. There is no way I can get an executable on your computer before going through all of the effort of coding the bot you requested.
2) Trial Versions - upon completion of the bot you will get a 2 hour trial version to confirm that the bot is functioning to specified parameters. There is no way I can send you a different executable from the one I demoed and then run off with the cash before you confirm that everything works.
There aren't many places in the tf2 world where trading non-items and having a rep thread can happen. But I hope to develop a reputation anyway, if you have ideas about how I can make it even more apparent that I am just an honest guy trying to develop my skills and get something for it, I'd really appreciate it if you shared.
Current Development details:
Bots in Development: -PaintBot - Under Development for http://steamcommunity.com/id/Thundawwaffle/ - Priced at 1 bud, includes buy and sell features, search by item name and defindex, chat window interactions, live price changes and live administrative inventory macros. Allows for payment in keys, scrap, reclaimed, refined and any permutation of 29 different paint buckets.
-BankBot - Personal Development, makes loans for collateral, will be issuing a 1 month proof of concept on TF2Outpost and other trade sites soon to see if it's a sustainable business model
-BarterBot - Personal Development - longer term, uses WebAPIs to make intelligent trades using items instead of just currency. Offers the customer a choice of 5 different offers of comparable value for any item the user wishes to sell within the bot's purchasing range. Each item traded has a unique history in a database that allows the Bot to sell some items at below market prices while still incurring a profit.
Bots Completed: -BudBot - for http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198063505718/. This bot was sold for 10 keys. It buys and sells buds at a configurable price in keys. It also includes several administrative functions for dumping inventory.
Want this bot with only minor modifications? This is a Single Item Bot that you can buy for only 8 keys. Just get in touch with me to test it and talk about modifying it to suit your needs.
-HatBot - for http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198024335163 's "ALFBOTS" network. This bot was sold for 18 keys. It buys craftable hats at a configurable price, refuses to buy uncraftable or gifted hats, and sells specific hats that are requested by the end user.It includes several advanced administrative functions for setting prices and dumping inventory. The bot also automatically smelts metal to ensure that it can always provide exact change. You can add the bot here: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198108206923/ to test it out.
Want this bot with only minor modifications? This is a Complex Type Botwith Special Features (Smelting) that you can buy for around 15 keys! Just get in touch with me to test it and talk about modifying it to suit your needs.
-ToolBot - for http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198024335163 's "ALFBOTS" network. The bot was sold for 20 keys after negotiation and was completed as a rush order in less than 24 hours. It was a replacement for an old bot which the owner had developed but which could only trade one type of item at a time. The bot trades Decal Tools, Gift Wrap, Backpack Expanders and Upgrades to Premium. It accepts both keys and ref as payment, can trade multiple items in a single trade and allows for prices to be set by the owner without taking the bot down to do so. Add the bot here whenever the owner puts it online to try it out.
Want this bot with only minor customizations? This is a Complex Type Bot that you can buy for around 12 keys! Just get in touch with me to test it and talk about modifying it to suit your needs.
-Nine Item Bot- for http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198024335163 's "ALFBOTS" network. An upgrade to toolbot that trades 9 user-predefined items and can also identify and refuse to purchase partially used dueling games.
-DotaBot - developed for http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198049714266/. However, he decided he didn't want to risk the whole downloading .exe files thing (perfectly understandable) and backed out at the last minute. This is close to a whole market bot, allows users to add almost any DOTA 2 item and set buy and sell prices from within the bot. Easy to set up and use and very flexible. Also has a built in protection against arbitrage that caps the number of trades of particular item that can be traded in a single 24 hour period so as to minimize losses from mispricing. This is a good example of the kind of Whole Market Bot I'd be able to develop for people.
