Blog

Founded in 2018, Mannco.Store has quickly become one of the greatest alternatives to Steam and other markets for buying and selling items for Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, Rust, and CsGo.

Our mission is to become the largest and most trustworthy marketplace in the market, offering a simple, quick, and secure platform for the community to sell their items.

We are always evolving and looking to provide you with new features, updates, and active support available around the clock. This is thanks to all of our hardworking staff members who devote a portion of their time each day to support and build this amazing community. You too, can be one of them!

What do we expect from the right candidate:

Yes, this is a paid position, but before you apply, ask yourself, "Would I still apply if this was a voluntary position?" - If your answer is no, Mannco.Store might not be the place for you.

We do not expect anybody applying to seek "ostentation," money, or any other form of remuneration from working with us. Mannco.Store should not be treated as a full or part-time job or as your primary source of income. All or most of our staff members have been actively participating in the community for years, improving and learning from it.

When can I apply for these positions?

We receive dozens of applications each week which makes it hard for us to review or reach out to you in a timely manner.

1st - 15th January / 15th- 31th March / 1st - 15th May / 15 - 31th July / 1st - 15th September / 15-30th November - This only applies to the position of Support Staff.

Trying to speed up the process by doing so will show lack of patience from your side which will have a negative impact on our decision on whether you're the right candidate or not.

Wishing you the best of luck in hopefully strengthening Mannco Team in the near Future!

Introducing: Meet the Communities

It’s been quiet on the blog front for a few months, but we thought this news was worth a mention here.

So, it’s been almost 8 months since we last did a Community Event, asking you which YouTubers deserve to get a present for Christmas & New Year.

As that last event was successful in highlighting and rewarding your favourite creators, we thought of doing it again, only a little different this time.

Now introducing: ''Meet the Communities''!

Okay, so what is ''Meet the Communities''?

Simply, the idea behind Meet the Communities is to highlight and show appreciation for your favourite TF2-related communities.

Mannco.store loves to support these Communities, as they're the very backbone of TF2 and keep the game alive and therefore; playable for over a decade. 

Not everybody knows of the plenty of TF2 communities that are in existance, especially now that #SaveTF2 has brought in a lot of new players.

Over the course of 13 weeks we will be pitting communities together from community-input, letting you, as the community itself, to vote for who you think should go onto the next round and giving out big prizes every single week! 

At every weeks-end there will be 3 winners who will win cash and those top 3 of each week will move onto the next round for a chance of even higher prizes!

How does it work?

1. Each week we'll launch a poll of 10 communities;

2. Everybody has 1 week the time to vote for their favourite community;

3. After 1 week, the top 3 will be announced as winners;

4. The owner of each winning community will get the prize money added to their mannco.store account. The prizes are as follows:

First Round

1st, 2nd, and 3rd will be $100, $50, and $25 respectively (+$0.50 per legit vote for that community with a max at respectively $150, $100, $50);

Semi-Finals

1st, 2nd, and 3rd will be $150, $100, and $50 respectively (+$0.50 per legit vote for that community with a max at respectively $300, $150, $100);

Grand-Finals

1st, 2nd, and 3rd will be $1250, $750, and $500 respectively;

5. The Community Owner can either choose to keep it, or to use it in Mannco.store Giveaways for the TF2 community as a whole, or as private giveaways solely for his/her community.

Want to submit a community to the event?

During the event, we'll ask for more communities to be suggested! Simply comment on the poll each week (Reddit, Twitter, Discord event) with the community you would like to be added to the running!

DISCLAIMER: This is not an event to see which community is the best. Although this event may contain competitive aspects, the focus should be on bringing community awareness to many new communities and having fun together. None of the creators have asked for participation, they were all selected by their community members. So with that, lets make this a fun event!

It’s been a while…

Thats exactly your thinking, isn’t it? Yes, yes… Sorry for the (Blog)-silence. We’ll explain it, or well… We’re not able to name a single big reason that caused the blog-silence for almost half a year, however, let’s just say that it wasn’t our first priority as we’ve been working on a lot of things over the past 6 months, which really took our attention away from the most important thing, ofcourse the BLOGS!

But no worries, here we are, yet with a new-freshly-written blog, about the things we would like to share with you, about the past 6 months, and possibly some future expectations for Mannco.

December 2021…

Let’s begin where our last blog ended…. December 2021. What a year, what a month… As it’s the most festive month of the year, we knew we had to go big, obviously making it the most Mannfestive month of the year.

Thats exactly why we came up with multiple events that month such as:

-          #Tag your Fav. Youtuber;

-          Smissmas TF2 Server Event;

-          Christmas/NY’s Giveaway;

-          0% Buyer Fees 1 Week.

Let us say that we have been enjoying every single bit of those events, obviously the time & effort it takes to arrange these events is not the most attractive thing, however, the return in happiness from MannCommunity was amazing to see! So here is our promise, from now on we’ll do our Mannbest to make every year’s end, a happy festive Mannexperience!

Because…..

~Happy you is happy us.

Website re-vamp

Yes, yes yes! As we’re growing in popularity we needed something new. We wanted to achieve, that every new user, who is not familiar with just TF2, and/or Discord can get answers on his questions within quickly scanning our front-page.

We wanted to create the best possible first experience for a new user. We asked ourselves what a new user would want to know, when visitting a site for the very first time.

Questions we asked ourselves were:

-          What is the site about? (buying/selling and/or trading)

-          Is the site secure/to be trusted? (reviews)

-          Is there activity on the site? (statistics/daily sales)

-          Which items/games are supported?
Which payment options are available?

-          Is there an active team behind the site? (announcements)

So with this new front-page, is to easily inform Mannconians about the go-arounds, and new Mannconinions can get answers on their questions quite quickly.

Introducing Public Giveaways

Then someone from our Manncommunity suggested us a feature we should really add, which basically was, a giveaway system where users could create their very own giveaways.

We’ve looked into this and thought it was a really good idea as an addition to Mannco.store. Therefore, we started building and introduced Public Giveaways in February 2022.

We have more features in mind for the Public Giveaways in the future, so stay tuned for that.

Currently you're able to join giveaways and create giveaways.

If you want to be pinged on every newly created giveaway, get the #Giveaway Ping role in our Discord on #giveaway.

Strange Golden Frying Pan Giveaway

As for our promise to make every year’s end a Happy Festive Mannexperience? Well… We already started with a little sneak-peek… Little, you say!?

 This Golden Frying Pan, turns everybody you hit to MannHallah to 24-carat GOLD!

Not only that, it’s worth more plenty of cars, boats and did you hear about these 1$ homes? No? Well… After winning this, you’re able to buy more than 5000 of these.

You heard that right.. This Golden Pan is worth more than 5000$.

What do you have to do? Well, a simple FREE click is enough to have a (miniscule) chance at winning this beauty.

What if………

Charity – Mann vs Marathon

In March 2022 we were approached by a TF2 Youtuber who wanted to host a charity for helping those suffering from war. Mann vs Marathon it was, collecting money for the British-Red-Cross – Operation Ukraine.

A 48-hour stream with youtubers to raise funds.

There was not much time to prepare, but we created a page so that it’s easier for us to support these kind of charities in the future.

We’re happy to hear that more money has been raised, than the initial goal of Mann vs Marathon. Feel blessed if you are living in a country which isn’t at war. Those in war know what it’s like to have no freedom, it must be horrible.

Know that Mannco is always happy to support (charity)-events / content creators and/or tournaments!

~Feel free to contact us at anytime through a support ticket.

Currency conversion and Unlimited bot space.

With all these different nationalities on Mannco, we’ve been requested to add ‘’Currency-Conversions’’ so many times, which we finaly did. It’s not that we don’t want to add things, however, we always have to choose between 10’s if not 100’s of tasks.

Obviously, if possible, we would like to add everything we have in mind within a single day, however, that’s not realistic.

We hope you Mannconians are happy with the amount of updates we’re frequently rolling out as we’re literally working around the clock to bring you the best experience each and everyday.

As Mannco was growing rapidly still, we couldn’t stick with our current ‘’bots-adding-plan’’ as it simply was to slow for the growth we faced each and everyday.

Our goal was to have as many bots as needed, so that we could simply allow unlimited deposits for Mannconians.

Now that we have over 250 bots on Mannco.store, we’re able to host over 750.000 (TF2) Items, which currently is enough to allow unlimited deposits, which we now do.

Hope you are happy with that decision. We can imagine that some were dissapointed about this decision, as they bought shelf space before. See it as a Big Giveaway to all Mannconians though, rather than comparing your situation to someone elses.

New Payout Methods!

Oh yeah, much requested, if not (on average) requested on a daily bases… We have now added 600+ Giftcard Payout Methods across the globe, such as Amazon, Google, Spotify, Google Play, Nike, Bol.com and many more.

Check it out here: https://mannco.store/cashout

Besides that, we are looking to add a whole lot of other payout methods soon, such as Visa/MasterCard, PayPal, Bank Transfer and more. We are in the process of adding these, and are waiting for approval.

Stay Tuned!!

MannWeekly Events with Prizes!

Yes, yes, yes. As our (Discord) Community is growing by a boatload, as in really, almost, if not more than doubled over the past months, we thought of doing something to get Mannconians more happy and engaged.

That is why our Staff is now currently holding Weekly Events such as:

-          - Art submissions;

-          - Meme-contests;

-          - Freeze-cam-contests;

-          - Emoji-contests;

-          - TF2-Highlights.

Feel free to join these events in the Mannco.store Discord at anytime. Good luck winning those prizes!

#SaveTF2!

Oh Mann.. Mann.. Mann… This was something big, as in… Really big big! We are truly happy to see what the TF2 Community is able to achieve, when we are coming together.

Gaming should be fun, and when we see TF2 gameplay being almost unplayable because of bots ruining almost every single server out there, that is when gaming is everything, except funny.

It’s nothing new that something has to be done, and actually had to be done a long time ago. Who knows how many players left because of the no longer funny part of TF2.

It’s not to late though, as we’ve seen massive engagement on this #SaveTF2, trending everywhere humanly possible, the biggest content creators talking about it, we’ve let Valve know that the TF2 Community is still here, and we want them to work on fixing these bot issues.

#SaveTF2 has brought so many eyes on TF2 which brought in loads of new players. Now is the time for Valve to fix it, so that everybody can enjoy playing TF2 again, because the TF2 Community is still here and we do deserve that!

Read more about the #SaveTF2 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/uwvndd/lets_all_get_together_and_save_tf2_read_comments/

We are happy to see that TeamFortress2 tweeted the following: ‘’TF2 Community, we hear you! We love this game and know you do, too. We see how large this issue has become and are working to improve things.’’

Let us say to everyone of you who joined and did your part. We are more than PROUD! <3

Now give them some time to improve, things are not fixed within a day. Obviously don't harrass any of the team, as it'll only distract them from doing their work. Fixing these issues take time, especially if you want to do it the right way. We as a community have let Valve know that it’s enough, let’s see what they’ll come up with in the coming weeks/months.

Now… Would you want to see our own Mannco.store Servers in TF2?

If so, let us know in the comments, and also let us know what kind of game-modes you’d like to see.

Feel free to suggest your idea’s in our Discord on: #suggestions.

That said, we will continue to build on Mannco every minute of the day and are happy with you as our beloved Mannconians!

~Mannco Staff Team

Smissmas is here and the year is almost over!

2021 has been a massive year for Mannco.store and we can’t thank you enough for supporting us in bringing the best experience we possibly can.

Before the year ends, we'll take you through a few projects we have been working on, improving Mannco.

 

Accepting Crypto Deposits

Many people in the community were crying out for a way to be able to use cryptocurrencies on the site, and with how Crypto is becoming increasingly relevant in today’s world, we have taken our first step towards integrating them.

It is now possible to make deposits using many different cryptocurrencies!

Dozens of currencies are currently supported including:

- Bitcoin

- Cardano

- Ethereum

- BNB

- USDT / USDC

- SHIBA INU (more on this later)

- And yes, even Dogecoin!

This will obviously increase sales volume on Mannco.store, benefitting buyers & sellers. And, in the future we might be able to also offer Crypto Cashouts.

Burning 30% of Shiba Inu Revenue

Following on from the crypto announcement, we are also now supporting the most ambitious Cryptocurrency of 2021!

Shiba Inu has broken all records within a very short time. It now is widely accepted by loads of companies, growing litteraly every day. It has seen 1,000,000%+ returns from its infancy since August 2020.

As we'd love to bring more Crypto volume into Mannco.store, we thought it was a good idea to take it a step further.

We're not only supporting Shiba Inu, we're also helping with their mission as a deflationary token, aiming for a price of 0.01$ per $SHIB. We will be burning 30%(!!) of the revenue earned from Shiba Inu Payments on Mannco.store.

 

#Tag your Favorite Youtuber

Mannco.store has never seen a better year than 2021. Even though we have been dealing with an impressive amount of F(ear)U(ncertainty)D(oubt) -(accusations from 'sketchy' site to 'sketchy owners'), we've seen exponential growth which was only possible thanks to our amazing community.

Our main focus has always been you, the community, as we believe more players make for a better, much more fun experience playing games. As nobody likes playing with bots, do we?!

A big part of getting new players in and keeping the games alive are YouTubers!

To thank them, we have been giving presents out to established YouTubers in the games TF2 / CSGO / DOTA 2 and RUST, but there are many that haven’t got a present yet.

So, you guys need to help them by tagging them in our tweet!

The YouTuber will only get their present, if they respond (with his Official Twitter Account) with their Mannco.store Profile ID on the following tweet: https://twitter.com/Mannco_Store/status/1468695921206738950

But what is in it for you, you're asking? Well, the YouTuber can also send the Mannco.store ID of ONE other community member in the same tweet. Obviously, we'll reward the referral too.

 

Smissmas TF2 Server Event

We have organised a Smissmas event on one of our private TF2 servers on Saturday the 18^th of December with giveaways, games, and special guests! Note: Sign-ups are now closed!

The event will be organised as the following (all times in CET):

21.30 - 21.45 - Mannco.store staff will be gifting Secret Saxton’s to everyone in the server.

21.45 - 22.25 – Rock, Paper, Scissors Game - We will group up everyone in line and pick randomly 2 players to play against each other, first to 3 wins and go automatically to the next stage. We will do this with everyone in the server until we have left 2 players, the winner will receive a secret special prize.

22.30 - 22.40 - Smissmas Spirit - Everyone will have the chance to gift something as their choose to a person in the server. This can be anything really, what matters is that you at least gave something to someone.

22.45 – 23.15 - Game on a koth map – Just a simple koth game to chill around and play a bit together. This is boring? Well, of course we had to have something prepared for everyone. We have some special guests for this event, and you will have the chance to play and speak directly to them. “Who are they?” For now, that’s everything you need to know.

23.20 – onwards - Big Giveaway - You might have thought we were over with gifts but no, at the end of the event we will do a live giveaway for all the participants in the server so make sure you stay until the end.

The games will be hosted on a private server on special Smissmas Maps. Further information will be posted in private channels for the participants.

 

Mannco's Christmas/New Year Giveaway

We’re hosting a Giveaway to celebrate Christmas/New Year’s however, the prizes these time will be 100% SECRET! Nobody knows! Well… Except for some intern staff. However, that doesn’t mean the prizes suck, actually they’re better than ever(!!)
There’s plenty of FREE Surveys waiting for you to increase your chances on winning this Giveaway. Also we found it fun to let Content Creators go Brrrrrr on the Voiceline we’ve created for the 0% Buyer Fees Event from 27 December till 2 January.(more on this down below)

Basically creating your own video content around the Voiceline that’s in the video.

But yeah, basically AMAZING prizes waiting for winners!^^

0% Buyer Fees FULL WEEK(!)

We would love to end this year- and moreover, start the new year very positive, which is why we have decided to thank our amazing community with 0% commission for all buyers between Monday the 27^th of December and Sunday the 2^nd of January!

We trust that buyers & sellers will benefit from this full week of 0% Commission. Buyers will benefit as they will have 0% buying fees, and sellers will benefit as buyers are likely to spend more. This lowers the barrier for new buyers to enter, which we’re hoping to welcome as new users on Mannco.store.

 

We’re hiring!

We are currently hiring more developers for our other project at Acuata INC. We are looking for people with experience in:

- PHP

- NODEJS

- MONGODB

- MARIADB

We are also looking for a Crypto software engineer.

All positions are 20-40 Hours a week from home (no fixed hours, you can work whenever you want). Please have your LinkedIn in hand and your résumé.

Please join the Discord (https://discord.gg/2NZ7uFSs2r) and PM Alex (@AlexMannco#0001) if you are interested.

 

Again, Thank you for supporting us and continuing to help us making Mannco the best place for buying & selling items!

 

Happy Christmas and here’s to a great 2022!

~Mannco Staff

Good day best community of all existing communities! <3

First to say, we’re extremely happy to see the Halloween Update here! Always good to see that Valve is working towards new updates from time to time.

In our opinion, lots of awesome new effects and hats with our thanks to the creators!

We would like to share with you our thoughts about Mannco.store and where its heading.

But first, we want to say that we're very happy about how things go around with Mannco.store.

Of course there's the daily routine going on everyday but our adminstrators are doing an awesome job in helping everybody the best they can on a very daily bases.

Increasing users volume

We are always thinking about how we can bring more users to Mannco.store, because that's what benefits all of you.

The more Mannco.store users there are, the more likely it is that your item will be sold, or on the buyers side, the more likely it is that you find a good price for an item you'd like to have.

Therefore our focus should always be to make Mannco.store more well-known than it currently is. If you have good idea's about this, please share it with us in our Discord.

We've seen a large amount of new users coming into our space in 2021 and we're happy to see increasing users volume every month.

You as our user can also help doing so by various things, such as advertising your Mannco.store Shop Link or sharing your thoughts about Mannco.store to others.

To increase the chances of you finding your beloved item, or selling your items, we're constantly sponsoring projects that we believe are good for the community.

This is not only good for Mannco.store, but it also keeps these projects alive in which we're indirectly keeping the game alive, as these projects/youtubers bring a lot of attention and use case to the game.

Therefore Mannco.store is ALWAYS interested in sponsoring Content Creators and Projects around the games we're offering support for.

ETF2L

Talking about this, we’ve rolled out a lot of sponsorships lately. We will be sponsoring the full ETF2L Season 40 aswell, so if you are a TF2 player and would like to play 6v6’s, make sure to sign-up. There’s a lot of money for the first 3 winning teams.

We can't say this enough! If you're a content creator or running a project/site, never hesitate to contact us to try and work something out, as Mannco is always interested.

We need to help each other to bring each other the best experience! Nobody wants to search hours for the items they want or pay a lot of money because there are just not many on sale.

Mannco.store is there because we believe buyers shouldn’t pay too much for items and sellers shouldn’t pay a lot of taxes, missing out on their gains.

What have we been working on...

Now that's said, we would like to give you insights on what we've been working on and adressing over the past months.

Ofcourse we can't mention everything as you would stop reading, however, there are a few main things we like to mention.

- Firstly we've solved a bug that led to some people not receiving the items after purchasing. Since Mannco.store has gained a lot more attraction, maintenaince was very needed to solve these kind of issues for future progress and scalability.

- We've also seen an increase in people being scammed by Fake/Impersonation Mannco.store bots.

As we feel responsible for the safety of our users, we've done a lot of things to avoid these kind of scams, such as, but not limited to:

 * Added warning when signing-up on Mannco.store

 * Added warning when on deposit page of Mannco.store

 * Added warning on item checkout at Mannco.store

 * Created a Mannco.store Anti Scam Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/manncostore-antiscam/llbdehgkjokeodpffneagciojeegphdc

But as scams still happen we've now added all the Mannco.store Staff accounts to the Staff Page at Mannco.store: https://mannco.store/staff

Ofcourse this won't prevent everyone from being scammed, however, we don't have much else we can do anymore, and do think it could atleast help people identifying the impersonators.

Other than that, we'd very much apreciate it if you turn on your 2-Factor-Authentication on Mannco.store, this takes a little more effort in return for a way more secure account.

Steamcollector

We've also been (and still are) working on a very big project which has recently been announced, which is: Steamcollector. We think that this project will fill a nice place within the community which will help traders & customers to make decisions where to buy or sell items.

We think it can literally be the go-to-place for cross-game buyers & traders in the future of Steam Trading & Gaming.

We think this will be the perfect place for literally everyone in the Steam space.

This project will, in the long-run, also be very good for the users of Mannco.store. More on that later...

Ofcourse we don’t reveal everything as some things we should just announce whenever they’re ready, however, as you’re used from us, we are working day (and sometimes night) to bring you the best we can!

For Steamcollector there is a whole lot of new things that are going to be added, but we chose to bring out this version as it can be of some use already and also because we would very much apreciate any feedback you have from the very start, so that we can enhance it the best we can with your support.

We are here to stay!

Over the past years there has been a lot of sites coming and going...

We're here to stay, feeling responsible about this community, and working towards filling any gap in the space by constantly updating and creating features.

As you know our main concern has always been to give the traders the best returns on their items aswell as buyers the cheapest available items.

That ofcourse is not easy to do, but we've achieved this by cutting in our own commissions, being the lowest of any other site out there.

This way traders are able to sell their items cheaper as they pay less fees, which results in buyers getting more for their money.

Everybody happy! ;-)

Now ofcourse there's always plenty of things we can enhance and add to Mannco.store which is why we'd very much appreciate it if you could share your feedback with us on the Discord Suggestions Channel: https://discord.gg/pJccrgc5Uf

All of your feedback is being monitored and apreciated, as it gives us an idea of what you need which we will base our decisions on what to add, or what not to add.

These suggestions of you has brought Mannco.store where it is at today, and as you remember, we are very happy with it! (And ofcourse, we hope you are aswell)

Our story of what actually happened #Geel’s contradiction....

Alright, where do we start… This is going to be a long, long story.

However, we think it is needed because we’ve kept our mouth shut for way too long about this.

I’ve always told our team to not get in discussion with anyone about what they’re saying about us, but instead use that time to invest in helping the people in our community.

We might make some people upset by telling you this, however, we don't want to keep our story for ourselves anymore, we think everybody deserves to know the truth.

Our little Trading Journey

This story starts way back in time, back in late 2012, where I, Sexysparta, was playing TF2 with friends of my class. I liked the game very much however, everytime I was playing TF2, there were players who had nice unusual hats and looked cool. I liked those hats, but nobody was willing to trade me for it. I had literally no items and besides, I didn’t have Premium. So that was when I first bought my 5$ credit towards a premium TF2 Account and with it the ability to trade.

I started trading, and by trading I mean, I started trading a lot. Trading actually more than I even played the game, I’m sure some can relate. One day I had enough items to trade up for an unusual hat. I remember it was the Stout Shako with Orbiting Planets. It was ugly, but I was like, Yes! I have an unusual!

I kept trading because I liked it and at some point I found out about backpack.tf, the site where you can find all the community suggested prices of items. I found other profiles with big backpacks who were using self-made automated bots which were trading day in, day out.

That's when my brother came in, I asked him to make some automated bot who would trade for me, just like the other big guys in the trading community. At that time Steam Community Market launched buy orders as well, which we found very useful as we were already checking for deals on the Steam Market. Since then, everyday, I launched the computer and made buy orders on every profitable item I could find.

#1 TF2 Backpack

This was going on for years until we had actually made a big backpack which at some point got us on #1 TF2 backpacks with a worth around $130,000. We were cashing out through marketplace.tf and/or reinvesting it in more items. How much did we spend of our own money on TF2? Just 5$ of Premium and a shitload of time. Would we be better off working for a job with all those hours? Probably in terms of money, however, it was very fun and I’ve always liked it.

Oh, about the #1, there was actually someone else, however, he had his backpack private that time which turned out that we were showing on the #1 spot of backpack.tf.

At that time, somewhere late 2016 / early 2017 we were contacted by this guy called Peanuthero. He told us he was working on a site and was searching for a co-owner/investor of the site. I discussed this with my brother as we didn’t know the guy at all and had to invest quite a lot of items into the site. We were looking at the designs and development of the site and were like, yeah, we can take this risk. If we don’t, we might regret it.

Launching Mannco.trade but….

This led to Mannco.trade launching somewhere half/late 2017 and us investing a lot of items into the site. It was at that point that we were also having 10.000+ backpack.tf automated listings which gave us a lot of backpack growth everyday. However, since Mannco.trade was growing just a little we were kind of attacked by the competitor Geel, or more so Peanuthero was.

Geel tried to get us out of Mannco.trade by telling us how bad Peanuthero was.

First thing Geel said: Peanuthero is running a gambling site as well which was called Mannco.jackpot, and that we shouldn't work with him.

Agreeing in our reply that gambling sites shouldn’t be there, especially not with all these kids playing. We told Peanuthero to stop the gambling site if we wanted to go on with Mannco.trade.

Not much later the gambling site was gone and we were continuing with Mannco.trade, helping people get the items they want instantly 24 hours a day.

However, our competitor didn't like our growth and wanted us to fail.  Peanuthero got SteamRep and Backpacktf banned for being linked to an alt-account which was linked to a scammer.

Even SR and BP.tf admin admitted…

We made a report to SteamRep that Peanuthero wasn’t the scammer, however, they didn’t lift the ban. Even Backpack.tf moderator and SteamRep Admin Teeny Tiny Cat admitted that Peanuthero wasn’t a scammer, however, the SteamRep ban wasn’t being lifted. This is to say the least, the weirdest and most contradicting thing I’ve seen. This caused some people to not want to use Mannco.trade because it was “ran by a scammer” totally out of context. A great way for the already well established competitor to use connections against competition.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/487493640239841290/788471630002520064/unknown.png

Through all that, Mannco.trade was still growing. However, we weren’t satisfied with the way things were going. We were cashing out the profits from Mannco.trade on Marketplace.tf which was funny enough as we were not being blocked by Geel, even though Peanuthero was banned on SteamRep.

Probably because I, SexySparta, had several thousands of buy orders on both backpack.tf and Marketplace.tf which is still business for Geel. Not to mention we were actively advertising Marketplace.tf by selling our stuff there and making video(s) about it. I Also mentioned bugs now and then, and with the start of buy orders on Marketplace.tf, Geel contacted me personally to ask if everything was fine with the buy order system. At that point I had over 10.000 buy orders which were all manually made. Yes I know, I had no life at that time ;-). Business was good for $12,000 of sales per month which we re-invested in unusuals meaning that Geel was earning $2,400 per month just from me alone. Not mentioning the Mannco.trade sales and all the advertising.  We, at this point, had no other choice but to move on from the service.

More false bans followed...

It felt like Geel was stepping on our growth as a competitor and yet on the other hand allowing us to give him a percentage of our profits.

Once I was banned on MarketplaceTF for buying an unusual from a scammer, which showed up in the BackpackTF History. But, that unusual was bought from MarketplaceTF itself using a buy order. The false ban was lifted, but Geel said he couldn't bring back all the buy orders (10.000+) I had made and on top of that he said that he didn’t think I made them by hand. While I had actually spent two weeks of vacation to create those buy orders… I could do the exact same thing again which would be worth it, but having been treated like this I chose not to. Not to mention that ScrapTF, another one of Geel's websites, was buying hundreds of thousands of items from scammers automatically. We, of course, have video proof of those histories. It shows how contradictionary Geel can be. Banning people for something he does himself at a much larger scale. Scammers were selling their items through MarketplaceTF and ScrapTF at a large scale. Geel himself had several gambling sites running earlier on.

At some point we were apparently growing to much though, our Mannco.trade cashout account on MarketplaceTF was being banned for the reason of: ‘’To much risk for MarketplaceTF to have you as a seller’’ or something like that. Not much later SexySparta's account was also banned on MarketplaceTF ‘’for helping a scammer liquidate goods through MarketplaceTF’’.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/487493640239841290/788472006894420038/unknown.png

Totally bold move from Geel, because he knew Peanuthero wasn’t a scammer and he knew that we’ve been very good for the growth of MarketplaceTF.

The only thing he wanted is to block Mannco.trade from existance.

At that point we had no place to cashout anymore and anything we tried to tell them to fix this situation was being swiped away.

In discord servers there was a common rumour that Mannco.trade was run by scammers, which was totally not true and totally out of context. The only thing that’s true is that the bans applied on us were false bans, bans to try and wipe out any competition.

We kept focussing on our own Community <3...

This wasn’t just a small thing, because of the reputation of BackpackTF and MarketplaceTF, people were instantly believing anything they said about us. I kept telling my team: "don’t get into discussions, let's focus on ourselves and our site and people will eventually see, that we are reputated and are willing to do anything to help our Community".

Peanuthero had to move aside to bring back our reputation and that's when Alex came in.

It was at that time, somewhere in early 2018, that we decided to create our own Marketplace; we called it Mannco.store. We made the commissions 5%. Geel was instantly talking bad about it on Discord and Reddit, saying the fees are higher as there are buyer fees. Also totally not true, if you are a re-investor, every single transaction you make is 5%, even with re-investings, where no buyer fees are taken. The 10% of MarketplaceTF was on every single transaction, which is even though no buyer fees, always more expensive. Not to mention that Mannco.store had way cheaper items, because the fees were lower.

However, as Geel is a reputable man in the TF2 community, the majority was still believing in him and his magic words, which kept the bad talks going on about Mannco.store and Mannco.trade, even though our percentage’s were better.

Because of the bad talks in the discord servers about Mannco.trade and its owners, same thing happened for Mannco.store. Funny enough, some people that were talking bad about Mannco.store were also using it, because they noticed Mannco.store was actually cheaper.

However, some people heard these conversations and spread the word around, without even checking the facts. The bans applied with their reasons were enough for some people to believe everything. But, what they didn't know, is that it's the complete opposite.

Especially in BackpackTF Discord it became some sort of witch-hunt, totally out of context. I have a conversation stored between me and a BackpackTF moderator called Zeus Junior, a former moderator of Mannco.trade discord, but who was told by BackpackTF he should stop working for Mannco.trade or else he can’t be BackpackTF moderator anymore. He told me that he actually wasn’t against Mannco.trade or Mannco.store, but that he was amazed how fast Mannco.trade was growing and he got a little jealous about that, such as many others who were talking bad about Mannco.trade or Mannco.store in discord.

We paid back all the users in real cash...

Not much later after Mannco.store was live some individual found a way to exploit it and had taken a lot of items, not just from us, but also from our users. We have talked about it in an earlier blog post you can find here: https://mannco.store/articles/9

We have updated our security to the maximum since then and have paid back all the people that lost their items in real cash.

We found the accounts the items were going to and I messaged Geel to watch out for exploits and possibilities to ban these accounts. He asked for proof while it was obvious, as these accounts were filled with 10.000$+ of dollars in items, all from Mannco.store. Besides, he asked me to take off an copywritten asset which was on Mannco.trade, that I wasn’t aware of. We of course took it down as he was right on that part.

He told me he assumed someone hijacked an admin’s steam account (which wasn’t the case), however, then on their discord, people were talking that an admin of Mannco.store had taken all the items and so Mannco.store site shouldn’t be trusted. Totally out of context and not true at all. As well, we’ve paid back all the users that had lost their items; so there were no trust issues at all.

Since then we’ve tried to make Mannco.store bigger and bigger. It made no profit because we were only having 5% fees which were just enough to cover its costs of being online, advertising and chargebacks. However, we believed that if we keep up and make our community bigger and bigger, it will have a good potential in the future and eventually make profit.

More false accusations followed...

We kept focussing on our own community and were trying to keep the trash that was being spread about us out of our minds such as:

Geel saying we DDoS his sites, such as BackpackTF and MarketplaceTF

We are actually using BackpackTF, which we need for the pricing, so why would we? Besides, we've got DDoSed at the same times.

Geel banning Alex for being a scammer on BackpackTF, without stating any proof.

Geel banning SexySparta on BackpackTF eventually for the most stupid reason of: ‘’ This user has repeatedly deceived our staff about the identity of another user; an individual who was previously banned for actively circumventing our API terms of service and launching DDoS attacks on backpackTF.’’

I say eventually because it was changed several times in a day from: ‘’engaging in fraud’’ to ‘’engaging in fraud and attacks in the site’’ to what it is to this point of time.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/440360390786940951/788471381938536498/unknown.png

Besides, all Mannco.store and Mannco.trade containing names are hidden on BackpackTF and the discords.

I tried to appeal the ban, but the bottom line of the conversation between me and their staff was, that I know that I’m wrong and that they don’t have to send me proof because they already know that I know.

Do you get it….??

The way they work...

So… We decided we just have to live with it and make the best out of it. We think that investing in our own community will eventually get us ahead.

Another thing we think is worth mentioning is that recently came out that Jesse, co-owner of ScrapTF and MarketplaceTF has asked minors for sexual material of themselves. The ins and outs about it you can find explained in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpL1xotynLI&feature=youtu.be

and

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HE5nVki3Pc&ab_channel=PrisonMateLuke

Why is this worth mentioning? Because the way they’re trying to get these news out of publicity is the way they're working. Talking bad about others and trying their best to ban out the competition, while they have plenty of things to fix for themselves to become better them.

Now that MarketplaceTF quits for the majority of people and Geel is saying that he may needs to warn people about other sites that are out there, we think it's time to share our opinion as we have kept our mouth shut for a long, long time.

If you are one of those that are like; ‘’Mannco.store is a sketchy site with scammers as owners’’, we hope that you can reconsider and actually check the facts.

This is our story! 

We could bring out our story much earlier, but who would've believed us? What would it help? Would we be banned even more? Given that we now think that it doesn't even matter anymore, because we cannot be banned anymore, than we are already on the competitor sites.

It’s time to bring out our story and for once an for all clear out any misconceptions about what actually happened.

~Do we all make mistakes sometimes? Yes we do. The more important thing is, what do you do next?

It's Giveawaaaay time...!

The Journey of the all-time currency..

Well, well, well my lads… This is not just some journey you hear about on a way to neat birthday on an average weekend day. No, no, no... it’s the journey about the most sold item on Mannco.store; moreover, the all-time currency of Team Fortress 2 Trading.

Other items that were used as currency's back then, such as the Bill's Hat, the Earbuds and the Max's Head didn't survive as currency but......

You guessed right! Today we’re looking at the Mann Co. Supply Crate Key, which has kept and still keeps Team Fortress 2 Trading alive for years and years.

While its actually made to open crates in Team Fortress 2 in which you can get a list of items and a special valuable Unusual item, it’s way more used as a currency in the Team Fortress Trading Scene.

Thousands of keys have been gone from user to user while not even having openend a single crate or case. Traders simply make a profit(or even a living) by buying these cheap keys, trading them for discounted items(unusuals) and selling those for cash on Mannco.store again.

But why is it this currency that is being sold so many times on Mannco.store on a daily bases? Has it always been like that?

We’ll take you through the journey of the Mann Co. Supply Crate Key on Mannco.store.

Since the very beginning of Mannco.store, somewhere late August 2018, the Mann Co. Supply Crate Key was being sold around 200 times a day.

Since then Mannco.store was already selling the lowest priced keys you could find. Simply because Mannco.store has very low commission which makes Traders sell their items for lower which results in cheaper items, aswell as keys, on Mannco.store.

However, as not that many people knew about it, 200 avg key sales per day was usual at that time. Around half 2019 it slowly rised from 200 to about 500 key sales a day on average.

As we we’re looking for more and more payment methods it resulted in more people being able to actually buy keys. On some days that time, we were selling 1000 keys which was big for us at that time.

Things changed and more and more people got to know Mannco.store for buying Mann Co. Supply Crate Keys which, in the beginning of 2020, resulted in around 1000 keys being sold on a daily average. Looking at where we were a year ago at that time, that was a enormous change in selling amounts.

It  basically was a growth of 500% of sales. Not to mention we had some (big) troubles going on now and then which we had to fix to keep everything going, while keeping that average day sales pace.

 

1500 on an average day...

However, we thought that still a lot of people didn’t know about Mannco.store and especially its Keys. Besides, we were updating our cashout system as much as possible so that cashouts were processed within the 24 hours after they were requested, which made the money available for traders as fast as possible so that they could re-invest again.

Then we slowly rised to 1500 key sales a day on average. We made Payoneer Cashouts available which are cheaper than any other service, and easily transferable. Since then we’ve seen most of the users switch to Payoneer.

We made sure that traders could get their money as fast as possible which made us recently add a ‘’Instant Cashout System’’ which is immediately processing your cashout and results in you having the money within 5 minutes after requesting.

23rd October 2020

And now…. What we’re looking at now is what we’re really proud of. We’ve put in a lot of work and time to always keep the sales going, even though we had to fix problems that occured, which weren’t always the easiest but...

At this point we’re looking at a record amount of 7623 key sales on 23 october 2020 with an amount of 4000+ average key sales a day, over the past 10 days counting from the 23rd.

Ofcourse this may be because of the latest updates that Team Fortress 2 threw in, however, we’re hoping that we can keep up the pace and make more and more people aware of the Cheap Keys that Mannco.store has to offer.

Are you a thief of your own pocket?

However, it’s not only that; we’re looking at more and more traders who are selling their unusuals on Mannco.store, and when sold, buying keys for even more cheaper on Mannco.store, which makes their profitting even more from their unusual sales.

Simple mathmetics tells you that buying 100 keys on Mannco.store costs you 167$, while buying them on the SCM costs you 237$. If you would spend 237$ on Mannco.store, that would give you 41 extra keys. Aren't you a thief of your own pocket, if you're not purchasing the cheapest available items?

Proud of our Community

We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t our community that gave us feedback and ideas to work on. Therefore we would like to thank all of you for doing so, and are hoping you will keep on giving us feedback even though its not always that nice. ;-)

A year to remember

Correctly, from now on you'll be informed by Mannco.store Community Blog.

We are officially dropping our first Blog Post here, right now on 8 October 2020.

The year which has been a year to remember. Not only because we have succesfully launched 3 new games on Mannco.store, but there's also Covid-19 which has big impact on peoples lives all over the world. Ofcourse thinking of those that lose family/friends to this virus. However, we're not here to get into detail about that. Mannco.store Blog has been created to inform the Mannco Community about all that is happening on and around Mannco Community.

As this is our very first Blog, we thought it would be nice to share our Journey with you. If you’re not interested and just stopped reading, no worries, we won’t kick you. ;-)

How it all started

It all started with a trading site for Team Fortress 2, which we created about 3 years ago which is called Mannco.trade

It has had several features including cash trades as it expanded and now has way over 1.000.000 total trades made. We were working with G2APay back then since it offered a lot of payment options all over the world.

From the very start of Mannco.trade there were people that didn’t like it, especially a competitor. We can understand that from their perspective, as you want people to go and use your services, which is what you work hard for.

However, it’s never good to have just one leading site, it causes a monopoly which can cause a bad environment for buyers and sellers. Multiple platforms will lead to a better price for the consumer.

Mannco.trade was rapidly growing which made us roll out updates as much and fast as possible. Then at some point there was this exploit which was found by an individual which took a bunch of our items.

We didn’t want to give up though, and were bringing out a massive security update which made Mannco.trade a safe place.

Mannco.store Official

We were selling the items on a different site as we didn’t use Mannco.trade for cashing out. However, that site saw us as a competitor which caused us to be banned with the reason of: ‘’it is to risky to let you sell on site because of possible fraudulent payments’’

Right after that we chose to create our own Marketplace for selling and buying items. Besides, we thought it would be good to have an alternative marketplace site, as we thought the rates on the other site were to high.

That is when we created Mannco.store. We wanted to make it as easy to use as possible with the lowest costs for sellers, which will make them sell for lower and which'll make it cheaper for buyers aswell.

Mannco.store was created around August 2018. It was rapidly growing in numbers aswell and we were finally able to cashout a lot of items that we had saved up.

'Black day in history'

Not much later, december 2018, there was a massive exploit from an individual that took a lot of items from Mannco.store. Mostly our own items, however, there were also sellers that lost items to that exploit. We took full responsibillity and have paid all the sellers in real cash or same products back. People remind this exploit as the ‘’1 cent Golden Pan’’. We don’t want to break peoples fantasy but we were able to block that Golden Pan from going to the exploiter. You can read our announcement on Steam by clicking the following link: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/manncodotstore/announcements/detail/1691561768405162221

This exploit was a black day in Mannco.store’s history. Almost a year of work and dedication was gone within a few hours. We were able to track some of the items down and got some back but it was still a very big loss.

Big support from the community

However, we then received a lot of support from the community which we are still very happy and proud with.

Besides, we simply weren’t done yet with our service. We chose to make the same kind of massive security update which we did earlier on Mannco.trade, but now on Mannco.store.

If it wasn't with the support of the community, we wouldn't be here and we wouldn't keep doing what we are doing, however, this community has really let us know they want us to stay and expand our service.

Since then we have never had any security trouble whatsoever. Also 2-Factor Authentication was added to protect the user.

Looking back

Now, almost 2 years later, Mannco.store is still rapidly growing and more and more users are buying and selling. There’s been well over 1.000.000 transactions.

From this we’ve learned to not give up but just keep looking ahead and when you have trouble, face them, write your options down and choose the best one. But make sure you choose, and when you do, go for it!

In 2020 we chose to add more games to Mannco.store which is now supporting TF2, CSGO, DOTA 2 and RUST. We are working slowly but steady towards a buyers/sellers community for those games aswell on Mannco.store.

On Mannco.store we’ve also had several payment options. PayPal unfortunately has let us know that they don’t support any marketplaces for the games we chose to add in 2020. This kind of changes are big, and everytime we are looking to adapt to the situation we’re facing. We had to move to other payment options which now is CreditCard and G2APay.

Future

We’re always looking into making the best updates for you and are hoping you will keep enjoying and supporting our service.

We can promise you that there's a lot more to come from our side which will be announced when the time is there.

We have supported a lot of Team Fortress 2 tournaments and youtubers and are always into doing so, so if you're looking for support, let us know.

We are ready to help you every single day and will be doing that as long as you let us do so.

Don’t hesitate to contact us at anytime, we will be up to help you with any question or issue you might have.
