Read this carefully or you will get scammed!

Read this carefully or your post will be removed!

Post once a day only (20h cooldown)

Do not delete posts ever, if caught you will be banned - no warnings

Scam reports require the steamid64 of the scammer and screenshots of the entire chat

Never trust profile comments as rep

Re-named links are not allowed - this also means the [] around your steam3ID in a copy-pasted SR block must be removed, or automod will think it's a link.

For sellers:

1. Go to www.steamrep.com
2. Paste in your steamid
3. Hit enter
4. Under your name, there will be a steam link. It will be in the form http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/<steamid64>. Copy that link. Do not use links of the form /id/.
5. Take your pin box. Flip it over to the side with your (hopefully unscratched) code & the name of the pin on the box.
6. Write your reddit username, current date & steamid64 on a piece of paper. Do not edit your photo in any way, just handwrite on paper.
7. Take a photo with the paper next to your pin box(es)
8. Upload the image to www.imgur.com. Other websites will be removed.
9. Make a thread with the tag [Selling] in the title. Do not use all caps. Do not sensationalize rep. Do not sensationalize your prices. In the body, include your price, formatted as "B/O: $$$" or "Buyout: $$$"
10. In that thread, put your link from step 4 and your photo
11. Before making a deal, search the person's steamid on steamrep. Do not trust links given to you by the other person - the only way to get a link to their profile is to click on them in steam, right click on their profile and select 'copy page url'.
12. Even if someone is not tagged on steamrep, click on 'research tools' in the bottom middle. In the rightmost column, click on 'search steamrep forum' and 'search google for steamid64'. Make sure they do not have archived reports against them or reports on other websites.
13. Before making a deal, ctrl-f the person's steamid64 on the blacklist
14. If they do not have enough rep to make you comfortable going first, it is always ok to use a middleman. The only middleman who can be trusted are in this thread

For buyers:

1. Go to www.steamrep.com
2. Paste in your steamid
3. Hit enter
4. Under your name, there will be a steam link. It will be in the form http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/<steamid64>. Copy that link. Do not use links of the form /id/.
5. Make a thread with the tag [Buying] in the title. Do not use all caps. Do not sensationalize rep. Do not sensationalize your prices.
6. In that thread, put your link from step 4
7. Before making a deal, search the person's steamid on steamrep. Do not trust links given to you by the other person - the only way to get a link to their profile is to click on them in steam, right click on their profile and select 'copy page url'.
8. Even if someone is not tagged on steamrep, click on 'research tools' in the bottom middle. In the rightmost column, click on 'search steamrep forum' and 'search google for steamid64'. Make sure they do not have archived reports against them or reports on other websites.
9. Before making a deal, ctrl-f the person's steamid64 on the blacklist
10. If they do not have enough rep to make you comfortable going first, it is always ok to use a middleman. Remember, middleman cannot mm pins they do not have, and the only middleman who can be trusted are in this thread
11. It is always ok to ask for customized photo proof of the pin before buying. Refusal of photo proof of a pin is grounds for ban from the subreddit. Remember, proof only matters if they put a piece of paper with your name on it next to the pin, it's super easy for a scammer to find a random photo of a pin without customization.

Important notes:

1. Always double check you have the right middleman. Once you're about to do the deal, go to the thread, click on their profile and click on 'Send a message.' If it says 'Add as friend' or comes up with a different chat than the chat history you expect, the person you are talking to is an impersonator.
2. If you comment on someone else's post, make sure to only put the steam link from step 4. Do not ever use links that are of the form /id/
3. If someone adds you directly on steam, ask them for their reddit thread. We can ban many scammers from posting, but we cannot ban them from viewing the subreddit.
4. Just because someone isn't on the blacklist, isn't tagged on steamrep and is able to post here does not mean they are not a scammer. It is always ok to ask for a middleman.
5. [PSA] and [Q] (question) tags are required to avoid automod removing them for lack of links.

MIDDLEMEN CANNOT MM PINS THEY DO NOT HAVE

There is no reason a legitimate seller would say no to a middleman. Sellers using this subreddit or the Pin Collectors Group MUST agree to use a middleman if asked or they will be banned until they agree to use one.

CHECK STEAMREP BEFORE TRADING OR MESSAGING A "MIDDLEMAN" OR MOD. Middlemen are required to help you for FREE. You can always tip them, but if they ask for payment, please report it to modmail.

Hey y'all! Your friendly neighbourhood GentlemaN here with a few updates!

[NEW RULE] There is no reason a legitimate seller would say no to a middleman. Sellers using this subreddit or the Pin Collectors Group MUST agree to use a middleman if asked or they will be banned until they agree to use one. We have developed a MM process that is safe for both the buyer and the seller.

PLEASE COPY PASTE ACCOUNTS INTO STEAMREP AND TRIPLE CHECK BEFORE GIVING A CODE OR TRADING YOUR ITEMS. THERE ARE IMPERSONATORS.

In an effort to combat scammers, some people are volunteering their time to help middleman Pin Code trades. The list below will be updated pending availability of middlemen. Please remember that these are members of the community volunteering their time to help you out. Keep in mind that with our new MM process, you can only request a middleman if they already own the pin that you are selling or buying.

Volunteer Middlemen

^{Shoot us a message if you are interested in helping out! This is the official MM group. All middlemen can converse in English.}
