Meh, I traded C&D for ALien Swarm hat.
I had one from the game and thought I could rebuild headgear with it.
If anyone wants to get that piece o shit, ask me.

[redBadger]

This guy wants all Sam and Max items for 4 hats:

Whoever gives him the items, can I have at least one of the three hats you receive? It can be the shittiest one <3

I don't care if you don't, but still.

I traded a person a name tag and Bill's hat for a Demo's Fro (the only class I wore Bill's hat on,), a Camera Beard, the Spy revolver, a degreaser, and the short stop.

Pretty fair if you ask me, I mean its not like I hated Bill's hat anyway. :rolleyes:

Well I was a derp bit here, but it isn't that bad:

Fucker didn't give me + 1ref he needed to, he just left. Jokes on him tho, it'll be craftable.

And this other one ain't bad:
[IMG]http://mirror.pointysoftware.net/tf2items/hats-pyro/pyro_plunger_sized.png[/IMG] = [IMG]http://mirror.pointysoftware.net/tf2items/hats-medic/medic_tyrolean_sized.png[/IMG], [IMG]http://mirror.pointysoftware.net/tf2items/hats-scout/newsboy_cap_sized.png[/IMG], [IMG]http://mirror.pointysoftware.net/tf2items/hats-demo/top_hat_sized.png[/IMG](Picked it because it's the best hat to color)

So 2 hats for 7.
Not that bad, but I could've done better if it weren't for cunts like the guy who tricked me from refined. Better lose a metal than one hat tho.

[TentuZero]

Earbuds for bakers boy, vintage panama and 2 polycount weps :D

[Djokson]

Just sold an Axtinguisher for a Black box.

Getting poly-dupes all the time from rip-offs, then trading them for hats. Profit!

[frog]

I traded [img_thumb]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/2/2c/Lumbricus_Lid_Helmet.png[/img_thumb] for [img_thumb]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/4/46/Backpack_Ye_Olde_Baker_Boy.png[/img_thumb] yesterday.

A shitty promotion hat for an awesome normal hat :v:

[dzonint]

You failed lol.

good hat for terrible hat

[frog]

Fuck the lid, it looks terrible and I didn't want it anyway.

What's wrong with the baker boy?

[Akiba]

[QUOTE=C0linSSX;25253645]Fuck the lid, it looks terrible and I didn't want it anyway.[/QUOTE]

It does look terrible, but it's not worth giving it away for that if you don't have another soldier hat.

[frog]

I don't see why not having a soldier hat is a problem, they're just cosmetic items.

[santyloco]

[quote=c0linssx;25253718]they're just cosmetic items.[/quote]

he doesnt like hats!, burn the non beliver

[Elstumpo]

I got a drill hat for the new spy knife.

Feels good.

I'd say triple fail that's the best soldier hat and the hat he traded for is shitty.

Whatever managed to scam 2 people check out my mountain of hats.

[Pardalis]

Hmm, i only trade hats trying to get (in order):
- Hats that are for a class i don't have a hat for
- Same class, better hat
- 1 hat for 2 shit hats i can trade later

[HazeFyer23]

Just traded a Sydney for a parasite hat and battlion's backup

It only works inside servers because people see it as a quick deal and can't stop for a second and realize it's a scam.

[kevinseven]

Not really a scam but a real sweet deal for me.

I traded my Uhsnaka for two refined metal (level 3 metal) a degreaser and GRU!

[rotaivA]

Some guy traded his Chieftan's Challenge with me for my Vintage Troublemaker's Tossle cap, my only hat, ever. He said he didn't want it, and obviously didn't know the value the hat held.

[highlight]He sounded like one of those middle-aged, half-drunken casuals who enjoyed the game for what it was, and not for the stupid fucking cosmetic collectibles everyone is fretting about 24/7, 365.[/highlight]

I ended up getting every single item and hat I ever wanted out of it- a rare Vintage hat for every class, every Vintage miscellaneous item for every class, Earbuds, and a ton of weapons.
I ended up trading it away for the last Vintage item I wanted: A Whiskered Gentleman.
Looking back on it, I realised I could have gotten more out of it, or even gave it to a friend for his Vintage Whiskered gentleman, but that would be just greedy- they got enough free hats from me while I had it, and I got everything I could want and more.

I think he did the sweet deal actually.

Also, for all the baker boy haters, it looks awesome painted green + with earbuds!

[b]Best soldier hat:[/b] If by that you mean ugly as fuck, then I agree

[b]Shitty hat:[/b] How is it shitty? How can hats even be shitty in the first place? They're goddamn cosmetic items in a class-based multiplayer shooter, not the main feature of the game. People say that hats ruined TF2, and until now I was never inclined to agree. Even if the game has changed, it's not Valve that fucked up, it's idiots such as yourself. People who obsess over hats and act as if they're a sign of social status are ruining the fucking game.
