Scrap.tf owns backpack.tf now

[Moashu]

As Geel confirmed in his recent post, https://scrap.tf/blog/posts/16

They bought backpack.tf, for how much? Who knows and i want to know what y'all think of this change? Is it good? Is it horrible? Do you not give a flying crap like a mongrel?

IMO, it's a big mistake, prices will change constantly and scrap.tf doesnt care about custom parts (Strange part, killstreak, paints, etc) But when they sell it they detect it.

tf2mart.net does better than scrap.tf. My backpack when from 60$ USD to 79$ USD thanks to tf2mart.net

Anyways. watcha think?

Who cares? Tf2's economy is already fucked, why not fuck it up some more?

So far a good start

I'm not a trader, so I don't know how this will affect me outside of likely being entertainment in the near future.

Yeah pretty much. But generally I only really trade shit with friends because of a few reasons.
1: people online are actually stupid when it comes to negotiating, they're always in a rush or say "just pay in pure dude" but they put it up for negotiation.
2: I trust my friends with items not being glitched or fake. Except @Wickednick with that le party phantom.
3: Lastly, I kinda dislike trading and dealing with those people, so i just deal with my friends who want to trade or have stuff they wanna sell instead.

tf2mart.net doesnt work like scrap.tf. When there's change, it wont affect tf2mart.net a lot.

On the post it says they don't intend to change prices either
but no one really tells the truth ():

Has an item worth 5 keys with 2 strange parts (example)
Scrap.tf offers 2.1 keys
Scrap.tf sells it for 7 keys

Yea thats beside the point, but they dont intend to change them for now. Just give them 2-3 months.

I do not think they would change bp.tf for their own benefit.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did. I mean I understand that to make a profit you need to over price items but I also wouldn't put it past them to change prices just so they can over price the items even further.

But bp.tf is mostly community run. Like top 1% community run

 

[Ms. Thresher]

Well that's really dumb.

 

[EmNudge]

Nice try, atheist!

He said that in the first and last time I met him, tf2 competitive beta.

I'm just looking forward to the design change. I'm a much bigger fan of scrap.tf's servers, design (they use bootstrap, I like it), and JS implementation (socket.io is nice as well).

Pssh, they already kill 60-75% of the price of items you get from them for huge profit. I don't necessarily trust them with prices and now knowing they have one of them most used price checking site. Shady, so I'll stick to spreadsheet or something alternative :/

Stn.tf? I'm sure scrap will but that too some day

Backpack's prices change based on community votes though. If they change that it could easily be boycott.

People will always try to make money using prices, tf2 has always been like this.

Hopefully scrap.tf will change it, they mentionned about changing the classified and suggestions.

I kinda hope scrap lowers some prices. Idc if I have a profit or not, prices are fucking insane.
