#Steam market code
#Steam market series

I have since been in contact with steam support to come up with a resolution. On, I was banned from all my steam accounts. I knew that it was against the Steam TOS, but Valve didn't seem to be taking any action at all, until now. Every time my iphone lit up, it said that I bought x for y. I used custom email notifications instead of Valve's to email myself the name of the item I bought and the price in the subject line. Normal trading felt slow, boring and unprofitable. It became an endless profit cycle which required minimal effort to maintain. I would manually resell higher value items such as salvaged crates at their market price to keep the steam wallet topped up, and just recently set up automated trading converting low value items to keys using the dispenser.tf site. Most of the dips in the graphs on each item in the market page were from my bot buying. I traded the items, such as crate #19s bought for $0.02, for 1 tf2 key, even though they were worth more, and so they would just be resold on the market the 200 item sale limit was restricting my ability to just resell those myself.

The most profitable included 2 strange festive scatterguns for $23 and $2, salvaged crate #30s for between $0.02 and $25, a vintage bill's hat for $0.02, and thousands of crates series #1,#13,#14,#19,#21 for between $0.02 and $0.66 each. I was able to buy almost anything for well below market price. I used catchalls and regular expressions to buy any items of a specific quality or type, for example: any genuine hats, anything with strange and festive in the name, or Level 0 vintage weapons and set buyout thresholds for each item. 99% of the TF2 market, everything except for botkiller items and a few strange parts. I was able to make easy profit using this, about $100-$300 a day. The bots would sleep with a few seconds delay depending on the response received. At no time did I feel like I was straining their servers. It cost roughly $25-30 per month to host it there, and I used about 800 GB down and 23 GB up of bandwidth per month, running between 3 to 15 concurrent http threads. I kept my bots running as fast as possible by locating it as close to Valve HQ to minimise ping, so I chose the Oregon EC2 region hosting it on Amazon AWS. It would output a log file, which told me whether I was fast enough or not in buying a particular item. Buy low, sell high seemed like an obvious strategy. So, on Jan 17th, I decided to write and run a steam market bot, which would refresh the page, and start buying things at under the market price. Since the steam market opened in December, I had bought a lot of crates before by manually refreshing, and was also somewhat aware that other people were using bots to buy from the steam market. I was refreshing the new listings, and I pressed the buy button, but I was too slow, someone else had already purchased it. It started when I saw a SF Scattergun being sold on the steam market for only $3. I have been running a steam market arbitrage bot for the last 4 months.

If you want to learn to code I recommend Python or Perl. There are still many bots active on the market but none are mine, I stopped completely now. Please don't comment or pm me about this, I will not give you the source code or help you with writing your bot so stop asking! NeedMoreSwag | In 3 hours & 15 minutes on teamfortresstv
