So, stupid trader shit I guess, but, In 2019 I was sadly scammed of my dream item, the scorching hallmark owned by kalkin in lange's "x6.exe or something" frag video, and I only like buying things for myself to own now unless it's a massive purchase then I go by highest steamrep.

I loved marketplace because it was autonomous and secure, and now that it's going to close I am going to be exposed to the masses of scammers again as a marked successful scammed person. What should I do for getting keys and stuff securely when fishy alternatives start trying to replace it?

they're just closing public sales. they will continue selling items from a small selection of trusted sellers. that'll include keys.

As for unusuals idk just use backpack.tf and read trade offers carefully before accepting them

I mainly use Backpack.tf to find shit I'm looking for, so you could use that, and you could also use Steam Community Market, but stuff's overpriced there so I recommend looking in backpack.tf first.

And there's also Mannco.store, which is very similar to marketplace.tf and is probably gonna be the new Marketplace.tf soon.

As for avoiding getting scammed, beware of impersonators (Make sure it's their actual profile, check inventory, steam level, etc.), never accept private profiles or people with nothing but achievement items in their inventory, always a scam. If someone asks you to join their team claiming they'll pay you, it's a scam. Check trade offers very carefully. And if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

If you ever feel like something is suspicious, you can ask someone who you think is experienced, you can even ask me at anytime man, I wouldn't mind helping you.
