Hi friends, my prolonged adolescents seems to be coming to an end and pseudo-adulthood is kicking in! I don't play much Team Fortress 2 anymore. I played the game for 6 years, the majority of that time was spent playing and running a community (aka. clan) around Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike servers, VOIP, and forums. I also formed and lead competitive TF2 teams the highlights of which include UGC Platinum 1st and 2nd place highlander championships.

I have two or three old sourceop selling threads that were successful and had more rep posted on them after each sale. The links to them no longer seem to work and my sourceop profile says I have no recent activity.

Through old and probably deleted threads like these I've sold my HOUWAR, a max set, and other various unusuals in the past

Backpack highlights:
Strange Festive Medi Gun (used this to win UGC championships, value could go up with "signature"), Strange Festive Minigun, Max's Severed Head, Gentle Manne's Service Medal #206, Vintage Lugarmorph, x2 Earbuds, Magnanimous Monarch (probably not possible to transact), tons of genuines and vintage hats and items.

I'm looking to sell everything in my backpack, ideally in one large transaction, for paypal money. I'm thinking I should advertise a minimum bid of $400 and let people offer more if they want to. What do you guys think? I've been out of the TF2 trading loop for quite a while. I do have some rep on my steam profile and evidence of successful sales in the past via sourceop forum threads. The longest I'd want to wait between my listing and the actual sale would be 1-2 weeks. I'd take what I can get and be done with it. The money is going into a savings account for my future wife's engagement ring. What price range should I advertise? Where should I post a listing?

I think it will be easier if you sell stuff separately, that way it sells faster. You can either ask for direct money, or sell for pure as in keys or earbuds. Then sell those keys/earbuds for money. Make sure to put up a trade on tf2outpost.com . Be cautious of scammers and don't trade if you don't feel comfortable. I'd suggest a trusted middlemen.

sourceop sadly doesn't handle rep threads anymore as far as i know

if you're looking to sell your whole backpack

i'd recommend checking out forums like skial or backpack.tf

i dont know anymore forums, but you should check out steamrep and see their partnered or friend communities, usually has people who buy backpacks as a whole I think

p.s - i heard or experienced that most forumers on trading community forums are usually lowballers, so i'd rather just go with eagle's suggestion

Thanks guys advice taken! I'm selling my things individually and just sold my max's and 2 buds for a fair price of $154. I'd still prefer to sell in as much bulk as possible but I'll take what I can get. So far the highest offer for my backpack is $180. I'll be likely to take an offer closer to $250 though.

Thanks Saber <3 and I prefer formally semi-e-famous.

I just turned many regular and genuine hats into metal using a bot trading service. Now I have much more metal and less aesthetically specific hats that are a pain to sell. I only used the bot service to sell my hats in the 0.8 to 1.33 refined metal price range.
