I traded my Brass Beast for the vintage Killing Floor set

I feel it's worth it

Do you guys trade 1 metal for a hat or 3? I hear some say 1 metal for 1 hat but others say only idiots think they can get hats for that.

[Allstone]

[QUOTE=TurbisV2;27122298]Do you guys trade 1 metal for a hat or 3? I hear some say 1 metal for 1 hat but others say only idiots think they can get hats for that.[/QUOTE]Depends on the hat.

[TurbisV2]

[QUOTE=Allstone;27122355]Depends on the hat.[/QUOTE]
Okay. Should I just craft my 3 metals then instead of trying to trade them for 'lesser' hats?

[Allstone]

Just buy two napper's respites or sombreros and craft them together. It should come to less than 3 refined, if you bargain alright-ish.

[suttles]

[QUOTE=TurbisV2;27122407]Okay. Should I just craft my 3 metals then instead of trying to trade them for 'lesser' hats?[/QUOTE]

You could get a good vintage hat with 2-3 refined.

Defiantly not.

Any regular hat will do, even if I already have them.

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;27124515]My friend got offered Unusual A Rather Festive Tree w/ Purple Energy for his Service Medal and he spammed my chat asking me if it was a good deal and then when I woke up he had the nerve to say "-.-"

I GOT TO FUCKING SLEEP :saddowns:[/QUOTE]

Now imagine that x20 times.
And thus you realize why I'm being an arse to people who ask me for trade advice, I just buzz them off and remove them from friends instantly.

Should I trade my sunbeams kabuto for a magistrates with flies?
And I add earbuds?

[mars7a]

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;27128797]Hey, are the unusuals from the Festive Crates still obtainable, or not because the festive crates were removed?[/QUOTE]

If they aren't then they're gonna skyrocket in value.

[Goggles]

I traded a V. Engineer's cap + Backscratcher...........

For a Pyromancer's Mask.
That guy was really nice about it, knew the value and everything :buddy:

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;27128797]Hey, are the unusuals from the Festive Crates still obtainable, or not because the festive crates were removed?[/QUOTE]

Not the christmas related ones.

Industrial Festivizer
Exquisite Rack
Prancers Pride
A Rather Festive Tree

Free crown, woohoo! I don't care about vintage items FYI.

[Goggles]

[QUOTE=adamater;27129727]Not the christmas related ones.[/QUOTE]

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure than any crate has a chance of unboxing an unusual of any hat available in unusual form.
