[QUOTE=NitronikALT;27219231]Got 2 Refined for a Rimmed Raincatcher that i got for 3 crates. Did i do good? (the refined part)[/QUOTE] You could have gotten more refined probably. I know Raincatchers are in crates now, but they still seem to retain their rarity and value. Though getting it for three crates is kickass.
[QUOTE=Errorproxy;27266178]Just to show off. My good Steam friend gave me 4 V. hats <3[/QUOTE] Everyone jelly. Or you guys don't beleive me?
[QUOTE=Errorproxy;27273069]Everyone jelly. Or you guys don't beleive me?[/QUOTE] More like we don't care since it's not a scam trade?
I traded my Bill's for a Familiar Fez, Towering Pillar and a v. Rubber Glove. Also traded my nonv Fro + 2 refined for a Hallmark. Who cares if I got ripped, I had spare metal and I only used Bill's for Spy, which I now have a Fez for. :buddy:
[QUOTE=Errorproxy;27273069]Everyone jelly. Or you guys don't beleive me?[/QUOTE] I give my good buddy hats pretty frequently since he has pretty much none of his own. Nobody cares
asdfjkl... [url]http://tf2tp.com/trade.php?trade=240668[/url] What is with the influx of idiot traders tonight.
I got got a V. Pimp hat for 300 credits in an RTD server :smug:
Traded my Your Eternal Reward for a Fosters Facade and a Ellis Cap.
Traded my extra L'etranger for v.fosters facade, v.stockbrockers scarf, scotsman skullcutter, and the amputator. I feel like a terrible person...

[img_thumb]http://i53.tinypic.com/2w1tikw.png[/img_thumb] Well, he seemed happy about it.
[QUOTE=SgtWoodsy;27275287][img_thumb]http://i53.tinypic.com/2w1tikw.png[/img_thumb] Well, he seemed happy about it.[/QUOTE] Well... If you didn't lie to him... then everything is ok.
[QUOTE=SgtWoodsy;27275287][img_thumb]http://i53.tinypic.com/2w1tikw.png[/img_thumb] Well, he seemed happy about it.[/QUOTE] Reminds me when some guy was looking for an ambassador, so I traded em and he put down a yellow belt and went "is this ok?" and I just went "yeah" and accepted.
[QUOTE=SgtWoodsy;27275287][img_thumb]http://i53.tinypic.com/2w1tikw.png[/img_thumb] Well, he seemed happy about it.[/QUOTE] lol that's just an excuse.. But at least you didn't lie.
I traded my sunbeams Larrikin Robin for a low tier unusual and a couple hats. Then traded that unusual for a couple more hats. I got a fuckload of offers for it with some ridiculous stuff like soldier medals, earbuds, Bill's hats, Max's heads, and all kinds of shit I don't like. So I settled for a lower offer because the guy offered me some cool stuff upfront and I liked it. So in the end, Larrikin Robin with sunbeams = Batter's Helmet, Vintage Killer's Kabuto, Vintage Ten Gallon, German Gonzila, Blighted Beak, two Larrikin Robins, Trophy Belt, Party Phantom, Tyrant's Helm, Vintage Fancy Fedora, and a regular Fancy Fedora. You may say I got "scammed." Considering sunbeams go for a lot, and the Larrikin is a good hat. However, I knew full well what its value was and I didn't really care. I don't like unusual hats and I'd much rather have a bunch of hats I like than a single hat with a purple name and a particle effect. I hardly even play the game anymore anyway. I try to trade away my vintage hats for their regular counterparts just so someone else can be happy with it. People take virtual items far too seriously. Seems like a hat's "value" is more important than whether someone actually likes it or not nowadays. It's pretty dumb, in my opinion.

But if those are the only hats you'd ever want ever, than it's a fair deal I suppose.
[QUOTE=Psycho_Shadow;27275586]Yes but that hat would've gotten you loadsa money. But if those are the only hats you'd ever want ever, than it's a fair deal I suppose.[/QUOTE] Selling it for money is more hassle than it's worth. I don't feel like going to the trouble and the risk of negotiating a real-world transaction for a virtual item. And when it comes down to it, a couple hundred bucks isn't really that big of a deal to me. I'm already going to get that in a paycheck from Valve next month for the Prancer's Pride. Frankly I'm pretty much done with this game anyway so I'm about ready to just give my backpack away to people so it doesn't really matter to me.

Hehe. I remember trades when guy wanted ex: Force-A-Nature or Eyelander He really need it. So the guy was willing to give more than 3 weapons (even including ,paints ,scrap etc) [img]http://uppix.net/e/e/d/a9747f8393b4c3776c0544818afbc.png[/img] After we made this trade, he [B]FOUND[/B] a Force-A-Nature So I won.
Shortstop for description tag, description tag for peculiary drab tincture. I could tell you where I traded my bucket hat for attendent, and 2 reclaimed for a dectective noir. But they are a lot of 12 year olds.
Maybe I should start making a second collection of every weapon so I have one for those that need a specific one and are ready to trade their right eyeball for it. :psyduck:
Traded sandman for 4 v weapons before. Nothing major, but 3 of them had odd levels.
Traded Boston Basher + Claidehm mor for MuskellmannBraun. Good trade?
Bombing run + 3 Refined (1 crafted, 2 from an hat that costed 3 crates :v: ) + Saxton Hale Mask + 2 weps for his V.Brigade Helm + V.Mining Light. Did i do good? The scam trade in question is the Rimmed Raincatcher that i got for 3 crates. But was this final trade good?
[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;27281128]My friend is wondering if Le Party Phantom w/ Purple Energy for Festive Tree w/ Searing + v. Bill's Hat + Earbuds is good.[/QUOTE] V. bills is worth alot, isnt it? Buds could get him something nice, and a ugly all class tree with searing is not as wanted now, but you could still profit.
[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;27281238]Nah, offloading a v. Bill's Hat is frustrating and takes a LOT of time.[/QUOTE] Thats a good trade, get rid of the v.bills for 4 buds or so and tree for 4 and your getting a good amount.
He just joined and Found a Hat while playing on a server with me. Little to say he really didn't know what it was worth. [img_thumb] http://filesmelt.com/dl/Reallylol.png[/img_thumb] I had to add more because i Kinda felt sorry [img_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Reallylol2.png[/img_thumb] So I traded him again (Sorta Scamming) and gave him a Vintage Demo Shield Cus he liked the Demopan <3 Sorry they are thumbs It's like 2 am And I can't be Fucked to edit them. :nobert:
