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 :(

Good luck with that, but I'll stick to the outpost... if they add the badge system of course.

Go ahead.

The real question is rather, are you capable of making it happen :P?

I'm developing online shop systems, the only thing I worry about is time...

Sounds like a cool idea, but it would require a fair amount of code writing (and difficult code writing at that; I would not want to be the one figuring out the heuristics of finding the best user match-ups) and, assuming the site is somewhat popular, a pretty intense server setup and a lot of database storage space.

Well, should be easier to figure that out than you think ;)

server setup shouldn't be the problem, I'm working in a datacenter ;D

Well, I'll code the functionallity of corse, and if enough people are interested in this, I'll contact a webdesigner to design the page. At this time, challenge accepted ;)

If you ever need some help lemme know. Student in Web Development here, already made a commercial site.

PS: I meant if you need someone to design a page or w/e, or just general help. I have tons of free time with little to do that's interesting :(

Are you only scanning people who go to your website or everyone on Steam's inventory? If you plan on going further than the people who come to your website, you're asking for some issues.

This was done for TF2 unusual hats and had the person pretty much blacklisted from the entire TF2 trading community due to the fact he was using it to lowball people who had rare hats and were unaware of it. If someone wants to trade, they'll find out how. Scanning inventories and harassing people is not how it's done.

If you're only scanning people who go to your website, then best of luck, but you're supposed to get permission to advertise.

Well, you have a good point, but I wanted to do it like SteamGifts anyway.

Thoose who want to trade their dupe cards go to this page, login (and register, if first login) and give permission to scan all that stuff. Only items you've marked for trading will be used to find a matching trading partner. The same, when someone else finds you, he only finds the items, you've marked.

Then best of luck with your venture!

You'll be up against tough competition as any TF2 or Dota2 trading site are probably well on their way to adding the TCG section.

Be careful, those guys launching steam auctions might want to steal this idea too... just saying.

Yeah, but their concept is a clone of steamgifts... just saying, that's what they do.

Great idea.
Still think the website could use a little overhaul.
Just add some color and a 'log out' button.

Hey, this is just functionallity at the moment, that has been developed in about 24 hours. There's no design. Also we're collecting as much data as we can get to complete the list of items ;)
