TF2 Outpost is a website where Team Fortress 2 players list their items that they want to trade. More recently, the site has also allowed for trading of general Steam items, Dota 2 items, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive items. It was launched in 2011, making it one of the earliest TF2 trading sites.

Vital signs

Though sold to ZAM, most functions have continued on. Potential concerns would likely originate from an abandonment of Team Fortress 2 or a downfall of the Steam platform itself.

URL Structure

Trades: increments by 1 for each new trade made, such as "/trade/10000000".

Profiles: doesn't use 64-bit Steam IDs in URL, instead also increments by 1 for each new user that signs in, such as http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/1. Entering a 64-bit Steam ID will still work, provided that the user has signed in on any site, such as http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/76561197984820423. This won't redirect to whatever number they are however.

Although the site also operates under the Dota Outpost and CS:GO Outpost names and domains, differences between the sites appear to be purely cosmetic in nature aside from a stream list and a "Most Traded" list using streams/items from their respective game. Example: a trade ID of 1 if used on TF2 Outpost (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/1) and CS:GO Outpost (http://www.csgoutpost.com/trade/1) would still lead to the same trade made by Sneeza from 2011 when it was still just TF2 Outpost in existence.
