Hello. Would you please consider my suggestions for barter? Suggestion 1 - run ads to compensate volunteers. 2 - auction it to someone who will arrange 1.

@Malthasar:
Do you redeem the games you trade for? No.
Do you trade highly in your favor, for example u/4ded/o/5390830/ or u/4ded/o/6283753/ (just to quote some random trades that happened in the last 2 weeks)? Yes.
Do you trade away only dev keys that you acquire from devs and that for which you don't have the right to trade? Yes.
Do you complain that you're not allowed to do so and play the victim? Yes.
Then it belongs to the reseller forum.

Hi. Could you please help me to complete this trade https://barter.vg/u/a78/o/6264144/
nekopeko has been permanently banned but I've received a key and sent mine before his ban.

@AlbyPhenix: I fail to see what more there is to talk about. You trade away dev keys that you get for free. You're not allowed to do so. You've received several warnings and were even suspended for it. You keep ignoring all these and continue to abuse the devs' generosity. Thus, we gave you an ultimatum. No further debate is accepted, end of story.

Can you add me to talk? here or on discord? Thanks

@Bart-ee I think we should talk, Can you add me. I want to know what's your problem with me. Because you are dragging me in your comment out of nowhere. I only take responsible of what I do, not what others do.

@jainluv147: Are you talking for the experience of someone who never traded on Barter and doesn't even care to read the rules, or are you talking from Dante's experience? Perhaps you should have taken his other advice regarding whining because of not being allowed to shark people.
If you want to hide behind the excuse that "trading" is subjective, do so outside Barter. We will facilitate this decision for you.
And considering that your friends keep bringing new TF2 resellers on Barter, this shows that we have been too lenient with their offers so far. From now on, we will be less forgiving with their offers, which will considerably speed up their road to the inevitable permaban.

@jainluv147: Why do you and your friends think it's ok to take advantage of someone not being up to date with prices, essentially robbing them of their game for your selfish profits?

Hi, received your message here: https://barter.vg/u/a300/o/6177108/
But i don't know why i can't make a comment there. Where can i send you the screenshots?
Satellite Repairman and Three Days i have it at steam by a purchase i made last year. And this one: "Men of War: Assault Squad" i don't have the game. I have the date of when i purchase the other 2 games. I don't know if with the keys the user gave me we can checked when they were activated. Having in consideration that are already activated i can send you the keys here if there is a way to check when they were activated.

Hi i want to know if it's possible to re-open this https://barter.vg/u/a300/o/6177108/ because that person gave me 3 codes already activated and one was retail that works like promotional so i didn't recieve any trading cards. I can prove what i'm saying. I don't wanna this person scam other traders.

Hi there I would appreciate it if you could spare a few mins and chat with me either in barter or here. I took the decision to send you a friend request only after answering your comments in barter. Won't waste your time , just to set a few things straight ! Ty in advance

I'd like to discuss with you about what happened on {LINK REMOVED}https://barter.vg/u/90f3/o/6195672/

But to accuse a guy constantly because your ReSeLLeR anchoring bias is pure ♥♥♥♥ and abstract nonsense. People send GLOBAL offers AS THEY SEE FIT. I join them. I rarely ever send offers. Do I look like I care about the stuff on barter at all? After all I should be lurking all day along for free money, no? I don't even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ send offers.

It's really bizarre that you pushed away all the big dudes. Rare game collectors, game hoarders. All gone. Now you can play being a paragon of good virtue with your newbs. Really good job. Line them up! You might not be a bot but you think like one.

If you are not going to accept my invitation hereby I am explicitly restating:

TERMINATE MY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ACCOUNT.

Did I hurt your feelings little bot? You got debunked twice and of course disabled new offers.
Add me, we'll have a little chat. Then you'll simply terminate my account. I do not give a single ♥♥♥♥ about not being able to send new offers. Guess what? I AM ALREADY NOT DOING IT.

https://barter.vg/u/2058/o/ --- I simply joined to an offer. Not my problem if it's unfair.
https://barter.vg/u/2058/o/6180091/ --- I simply joined to another offer. Not my problem if it's unfair.
https://barter.vg/u/2058/o/6169286/ --- It was not a retrade and I am letting screenshots go public.

You indeed stroke your pride with the most bland and generic value system on earth. You can hate the game but hating on the players? Lol, that just shows how you are incapable of moderating. What you can do is offer people guidance as long as they seek it. Sure, I have no problem with that.

Did anybody ever tell you how bland and idiotic you are?

You have killed Barter well done mate - hope your happy

@PrometeheusCZ: Please refer to this comment https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/groups/bartervg/discussions/0/4356745470644195683/?ctp=2#c4353368616869005990 for an answer to your question.
Essentially, going above similar value for bundled games can be done only on very rare cases. And still, that "above" should remain close to the bundle value, and not be a x2, x3, etc.

Ben is a pretty special case. He offers to overpay just to be sure that his offer is accepted. We asked him many times to not do that. If the x2 rule is enforced among resellers, there's no need to overpay. He also didn't know exactly what a bundled game is, until recently when this was explained to him.

Why to we need to enforce the x2 rule and not allow going above x2 even if the user (Ben in this case) wants to do so? You can read here: https://barter.vg/u/7d34/o/6149059/

I see it written there that if a person agrees to overpay, then I can also accept the offer for bundled games...

@Bart-ee I read it. I was confused with this offer: https://barter.vg/u/241a/o/6155108/ - Ben offered me three games for my one game - big overpay. I told him that one game is enough and that I can still accept it only if he writes he is aware of price differences. He agreed. So I could have a big profit but I did not allow it. And he was aware of the price difference, but you were still dissatisfied. :(

@AndrewBaton: This Steam profile is checked only once per week or so. There's currently no friend invite from you, let us know if you still want to discuss anything - we're happy to do so. Please be aware that this is our free time and it might take a while until someone answers. Like everything else on Barter, the Bart-ee system also works based on volunteering. No one is paid to allocate time for this.

We are also not notified in any way about the comments on the offers we visit. To see new comments, we have to manually check that specific offer, and we do this only when there's an ongoing discussion.

The comments left on this Steam profile come mostly from resellers / retraders being vocal about not being able to shark people as much as they could before.

@PrometeheusCZ: Please refer to this comment on the forums: https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/groups/bartervg/discussions/0/4356745470644195683/#c4353367983027702353
If you still have questions, let me know and I will accept your friend request.

After reading the comments here, I realized what kind of person you are. Looks funny. And now I understand why you don’t add me as a friend for clarification and don’t respond to comments on barter

I dont understand the rules. Need clarification.

Nvm, I found the setting. It's under Offer preferences > Offer intervention if anyone else has the same issue.

Try reading my comment again. I didn't decline your trade nor am I against moderated trades. This action was taken on my behalf without my approval. Why in the world are you defending someone who declined a trade that you sent? Also, "New Users" ?? WTF? We're at 1100+ and 700+ trades. Nobody else should be getting involved here.

lol, Ivan. I think these moderated trades for new users are a good thing even though you declined a trade I offered.

Why did this account decline an offer on my behalf? I've never set mediator actions on. How do I remove this setting? Please do not interfere with my offers.

Bartee I brought you something to eat https://barter.vg/u/82e0/o/6154775/ Look how cruelly a newbie deceived an experienced user, ban him quickly and once again stroke your pride

You so like to focus on gg.deals prices, so the game that I offered costs almost 30 dollars, I asked for only 11tf2 keys for it, so why is my offer offensive? And I’m not a reseller, no need to invent something that doesn’t exist.

All right.
If your words are not insults, then your suspension days are also not a punishment, but an occasion that we offer for you to take some days off and do other things with your life than trying to shark people with your lowball offers.
We've heard threats about losing users since before we even started declining offers. Almost 8 months later, there are constantly new users joining, and the site seems to not have lost much traffic - if anything, it lost some resellers, and that's it.
Don't pretend you're some sort of heroes without which Barter can't function. You're not. The platform is totally fine without you and your abusive offers.

This is not an insult, but a statement of fact. You are behaving too inappropriately and biased. Because of watchmen like you, the site will only lose users and gain nothing in return.

@c3_h7: You have the answer on the forum post you opened. Thank you for the colorful insults.

Why the hell did you ban me again, you damn idiot? if a game has a small chance of dropping on stream, it doesn't reduce its value, damn it

Added to ask for help/advice related to offer

Ok, the new rules and moderators like you will kill barter.
It's unfortunate to see moderators intervening in what were believed to be private transactions between users

Users already have the ability to delete unwanted profiles, it is counterproductive to prevent transactions that could have taken place.

2€ for 4€? Is this really inappropriate? Or are you frustrated with power?

With such a policy, you are on the wrong way.

@Le-MaN:

These are all the offers you sent out during the past 5 days. Only one of them is balanced, all others have various amounts of value gain for you. Not one offer was made in which you could have lost value. Prices in EUR.

u/6dd3/o/6124934/ 2.21 for 6
u/6dd3/o/6124960/ 2.21 for 4
u/6dd3/o/6124935/ as low as 0.49 for 9
u/6dd3/o/6124949/ 4 for 38
u/6dd3/o/6124956/ as low as 0.78 for as high as 14.90 (or, as low as 2.65)
u/6dd3/o/6124952/ 0.58 / 1.20 for 3
u/6dd3/o/6124954/ 0.59 / 3.79 for 11
u/6dd3/o/6124948/ 4 for 4
u/6dd3/o/6124961/ 2 / 4 for 4.50
u/6dd3/o/6124953/ 0.75 for 4
u/6dd3/o/6124962/ 0.83 for 9
u/6dd3/o/6124943/ 0.72 / 0.88 for 3
u/6dd3/o/6119042/ as low as 0.49 (freebie) for 2.38

@Le-MaN: The new rules were introduced in January this year. There are now limits on how much you can gain from an offer and we're applying them to both resellers and regular users.
Declining your unbalanced offers is not an act of harassment, but mediators just doing their jobs. If you don't like these new rules, you are free to trade elsewhere.

"Is this why you always ask for significantly more value than what you offer? "

I read your new "rules", and This is not true, I made 95 trades with no problem for 5 years ago, everyone is free to accept or refuse the transaction without your consent.
Personally I do not tolerate these accusations which is why I am reporting your Steam profile for harassment and defamation.

@Le-MaN: it was already explained to you in https://barter.vg/u/6dd3/o/6124962/

If you need to go over the rules again, you can find them here: https://github.com/bartervg/barter.vg/wiki/Trading-Rules-And-Restrictions

Your 90% decline rate pretty much shows that most users on Barter find your trades unbalanced. Perhaps you should reconsider your evaluation methods.

> Everyone is free or not to accept the offer proposed, the price has no importance in these exchanges.
Is this why you always request substantially more value than what you offer? Fishing for victims (especially new users) is not something we tolerate any more.

Why are you canceling all my trades?! Barter is a key exchange site.

Barter is used to exchange keys that two users have in duplicate for games that they have on their wish list. Everyone is free or not to accept the offer proposed, the price has no importance in these exchanges.

I have exchanged keys many times which were not at the same price because I wanted the game. Why are you interfering with this?

Added to ask help/advice on something barter related

@m13/9: The comment does not concern you, nor affect you in any way. It is aimed specifically at girolamocastaldo.

Resellers are made aware that accepting more than x2 the value for an unbundled key will potentially result in us counting the offer as declined. The declines increase exponentially with the value difference and whether it's a bundled key or not. Even if we consider Inkulinati as an unbundled key (because of its rarity / bundle price, even though it is bundled - several times even), this offer has a x3 ratio.

Here is the offer where we communicated the extra declines behavior to him: https://barter.vg/u/1f2/o/6066704/

If resellers accept these types of trades, that will only speed up their path to a permanent suspension. girolamocastaldo could have added extra games on his side to make the offer valid based on our rules, and to avoid collecting extra declines.

Sorry, I don't really understand your comment here.
u/748a/o/6100529/
Care to elaborate?

Do you mean that this is an unfair trade because my key is worth more on grey market? Duh! This was my offer and we are both not new users, knowing what we are doing.

I mean, I really wanted to get that game, so I knew what I was offering.

Or did I misunderstand you?

@Nao:
Your game has a duplicates notice, thus your key has a high chance of being a duplicate too and it's probably not your fault, but the developer's or Groupees'.

However, you refuse to accept this or ask Steam support for the activation date to clear this up, and so far refuse to provide a compensation for the other trader that held their end of the deal in case it turns out that your key was already a duplicate at the moment of the trade. Additionally, you accuse the other trader of misusing your key without any proof.

The amount of trades you completed isn't relevant in this case. The other user sent you their keys as agreed upon, whether you redeem them or not is your decision. From Barter.vg's perspective, one of you honored the trade, the other one did not, thus a dispute flag is appropriate until the situation is solved on both sides.

But, to help you clear this up, send us your key and we will inquire Steam support about it. i sent you a friend request for that.

So, let me sum it up... https://barter.vg/u/880/o/6073637/
I'm a reputable trader with a flawless record for many years. Someone with 5 times fewer completed trades than mine, sends me keys I don't redeem, then pretends mine doesn't work, then you decide to trust him, flag me as a scammer, and prevent me from doing anything -- when I've gained nothing and he may have gained something.
Let me guess, you're not a fan of my work, and you'll always side against me?

Appreciate you passing on my issue to someone that could help.

We're not ignoring them. We're trying to avoid intervening in Thanatos' offers as much as possible, this is related to something rather private that he shared in one of his previous offers in which we intervened. I'd rather not post it publicly here.

I'm tired of posting these Phenya offers. You always ignore them. /u/1f9a/o/6102750/

Thanks for your reply, have a good one!
