Hey there!

I've just registered steambadges.com. I've got the idea of a website that scans your inventory. After that you have to select the cards you want to trade and the ones you need. Then the system searches for someone, who has the cards you want and needs the ones you have. You'll get the result listed, add the opponent and trade.

How do you like that idea? I think, it's just the beginning of something bigger (like TF2/Dota 2 keys) :P


Update:
I wrote the mechanism to read the badge data, sadly the sAPI doesn't support the badge data yet :(

we already got all existing cards , emoticons , and profile backgrounds in our database.

so far we count 150+ users. Thanks alot for that !

The Website Design got finished and we will slice it pretty soon ;) We already have alot of functions but we still lack some.

e.g. we requested the steamrep api to show whether someone has a clean steamrep or ban people that dont have it, but we are still waiting for reply.

the website is improving alot even if the main page doesnt changed alot yet (its pretty confidential so far :P)

Well, they just read every inventory and you're able to trade items in inventory. They don't have all the data of the new cards, they don't support badges 'n stuff, we'll be doing our projekt :P

I like the idea, did you think about extending it to games in one's inventory as well? I wish there was a better trading site where you can input games you have and want and it'll match you up with people who have the games you want and want the games you have.

Or you could just sell the cards you don't need on the market and buy the ones you need.

So, this is a minimum 2:1 bot? I think I'll stick with backpack.tf. 1:1 same game (unless over/understocked) and credit values derived from market sale trends. No offense, but your bot seems more like a profit bot.

Wait, it's 2:1? That's just silly. There are already a couple bots that are 1:1

You're listing some games that aren't in the FAQ, yet, like Fairie Solitaire, Bit Trip Runner, etc.

What's up with that?

Dunno why, but first time Ive read: "I've got the idea of a website that SCAMS your inventory."
Guess Im kinda paranoid or something. As far as the idea goes, great one, Im looking forward to it! :)

see one post above, we already run a cardpool service, but we still wait for the design to arrive

so the main page development is kinda slowed out ;(

what do those rates mean actually?

its like a point system.
tf2 cards are worth 30 points
borderlands 2 cards are worth 95 points

so you could swap in 4 tf2 cards for 1 borderlands 2 cards, BUT when it doesnt own one of these tf2 cards yet its value gets increased to 125%

so you will get 97,5 points for 3 tf2 cards that would be enough to get a borderlands 2 card (that has a stock of 3 at least)

just try to add the bot and play around in a trade session with it ;P

Backpack.tf have 2 x Bots working since May 18 ... Backpack.tf Card Swap Bots.

  • Less than 3 cards = double price.
  • Trade emoticons and backgrounds.
  • Bots can save your unused points.

I did not know if had been mentioned or not, but I say it seemed good to inform people and to the developers of this new website to know that exist other web working, and so they know their characteristics. Im not comparing nothing. I like trade, so all webs for trade are wellcome.

the card swap bot is already listed in this thread,

btw at least you didnt post the other one, that "officialy" counts values *1,5 but it always rounds up madly to get 2,5 - 7,5 free points

You are probably going to need to seed your bot somehow. Few people are going to be interested in trading with a bot where most of the cards are 50-100% more expensive than they need to be because you only have one or two copies in stock. The 25% bonus for new cards is nice but it's not going to help if the person can't find cards they want on the bot. I realize you're just starting out, but these are things to consider.

Also, you probably should change this sentence in your post (and if it appears on your site): "You'll get the result listed, add the opponent and trade." Even if you really do think of the people you trade with as opponents, it's not good to come out and say that. Most people like to look at trades as benefiting both people. No one wants to think they just got "defeated" in a trade by an "opponent".

lol , silly typo :)

im sorry we are germans :ugly:

yeah, that low stock thing is our big problem right now, but i will pop in some new cards pretty soonish , i always try to so just check the bot sometimes, i added 12 pyros yesterday, most of them are gone already,
i added like 6 zeros, they were gone after 5 minutes :D

just check it now and then and you might find a nice deal, especially because it pays that 25% bonus alot because it lacks many cards yet
