Steam – How to set buy order for all items in dota 2 (immortals)

dota-2steam

Today there was a boom on the Steam market as everyone was selling and buying Dota 2 compendium items, and I am trying to buy some immortals but am not able to do so as the rate is reflected every second and if I will see any item and tried to buy but couldn't as that item was sold one sec ago.

So, is there any feature in Steam by which I can set that I want to buy a item at a particular rate? I have seen this function while buying cards where you can set your rate, but is it possible to do the same for Dota 2 items?

I have read on Steam that they have updated their function for Steam market but I hope there will be any way by which I can buy some dota 2 immortal by setting the buy order instead of refreshing the page all the time and waiting for luck to buy.

I know if I will wait or am willing to pay more then I can buy but I know rate of these immortals will be very low soon so hope anyone will give me answer m looking for.

Buy Orders are available on the Steam market: (see the FAQ)

What is a buy order?

When buying a commodity items, you specify the price you want to pay, and when an item comes available at that price the purchase completes. If there isn't an item available immediately at that price, then that request to purchase stays active until an item listed at the right price comes along. This request to purchase is called a buy order. The buy order price is the maximum amount that will be spent; if an item comes along for a cheaper price, you'll only pay that lower price.

But these buy orders are only available for commodity items.

What is a commodity item?

A commodity is a kind of item where all the items are identical, and can be traded interchangeably. There aren't individual listings for commodity items on the market; instead you place an order to purchase, and an item is selected for you. This is very helpful when trying to buy items that are very frequently traded, and item listings can appear and disappear very quickly.

And since Dota 2 items tend to have different gems socketed (especially the immortals), they don't count as commodity items and buy orders are therefore not available for them. As far as I could see, buy order are not available for any dota 2 item, regardless if these items do have a gem socketed or not. I assume it is because of the ability to add sockets to normal items and thus changing them.
