[QUOTE=Inacio;26138373]You can sell 1 key = 1 hat sometimes.[/QUOTE] 1 hat like napper / sombrero / hatless / mining light / protector = goes about 1 refined (so not big deal). I prefer to have refined. Because I want to wait for new polycount hats (It's not over yet!)
I gave my v. baker boy + hallmark + paint for the earbuds Finally got the buds, I fucking love them.
I see you don't understand my Good Elis cap trade. Since I bought from someone an Earbuds for 8 REFINED , later SOLD for 8 refined + 4 elis caps + 1 napper... These 2 from 4 Elis caps worth 2 refined. So after all I Sold that earbuds for 10 refined + 2 elis caps (I'll try keep selling them) + 1 napper. Pretty good deal. ================ If you sold Elis cap for 1 refined you can be proud. Because in many cases 1 refined can be = a Napper hat , Sombrero Hat , Protector , Sober (sometimes) , a Hatless and other bad hat. Still If you think stupid is selling Elis cap for 1 refined you are in mistake. That's good deal but you can try get better... for instance: UHHH axe.
Traded one paint for a Refined Metal Was it good? to clarify, i gave the paint and i [b] took [/b] the refined... :D

Since people want to have a Whiskered Gentlemen they are willing to give 1-3 non vintage hats (depend of people) These people who rate Disagree don't know about it

Not really a scam but profitable. vBrigade Helm -> vBloke's + 2 keys
I believe that I have found the worst scammer ever... I submitted a report to Steam Support since I'm 99% sure he's scammed people before, but there was no doubt he was at least trying to scam me this time. He was talking like a salesman the whole time. [i]No no. This Alien Swarm is RARE. No one has it anymore b/c the game isn't out anymore[/i] Anyway.. Copypasta inbound: I have encountered an individual whom I believe has been scamming and continues to scam other players in Team Fortress 2. I was in a normal 2fort server and posted that I was selling my Safe N' Sound, as I was. I get a trade offer from this person: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/76561197989866354/[/url] He asked if I wanted hats for my Safe N' Sound. I politely reply with "Yessir". He then puts a Ghastlier Gibbus and an Alien Swarm hat in his offer and asks if I want them. I politely reply no, telling him I'm not interested in them. He then proceeds to try and convince me that the Alien Swarm hat is a discontinued hat that is extremely rare and there are no more that can be obtained. I show him my rebuttal, telling him that he is incorrect and that the Alien Swarm hat may be obtained via an achievement on Alien Swarm, a free game. He argues saying that the hat is not tradable and people cannot get them anymore. I once more argue, still staying somewhat polite, that he is incorrect. He then forgets the Swarm/Gibbus idea and places a vintage Hatless Scout on his offer. I politely decline it. He then puts a vintage Sniper Hat (can't remember the name). I politely decline. He then asks if I want weapons, and once more I decline, saying I'm only interested in hats at this point. He tells me that I don't have a lot of weapons and that I surely needed one. I ask him how he knows what's in my backpack. Here's where I'm getting to the point. He claims to be "a special user" of sorts. I then tell him that I don't believe him and to name all my hats. He names them correctly, then I accuse him of using tf2items.com or tf2b.com or a similar site. He then types "nope" into the chat about three or four times consecutively. He then puts into the trade about four earbuds, a Max's severed head, a Fez, and I believe a Snaggletooth. He then boastfully gloats that he has lots of cool hats, and then cancels the trade. All throughout our conversation, his spelling and grammar was atrocious (he spelled "discontinued" like "disconted", for example), furthering me to not believe his claim of being special of any sort. So, at first I thought he was a newbie who didn't know the worth of hats. Surely someone with multiple earbuds, Max's Heads, and other valuables knows value at least somewhat, correct? His backpack: [url]http://www.tf2items.com/id/76561197989866354[/url] His amount of items, while not completely outrageous or abundant, leads me to further believe that he has scammed at some point. Regardless, I strongly believe that he was attempting to scam me, or if nothing else, posing as some significant user with special powers. Thank you.

After he spammed about his rare parasite I've saw a guy who traded 8 ref for 1 Ghastly gibus (I think It's kinda joke). But seriously I like this guy because he have a humor.
I have a question for people who used Paypal before: Can you transfer money from Paypal to someone's bank account?

[QUOTE=fullmetalninja;26156247]Traded an Ellis Cap for 3 reclaimed, which I quickly crafted into a refined Also traded Black Paint for a Napper's Respite[/QUOTE] I told ya. IF you sell Elis cap for 1 refined It's good.

You are indeed an epic trader. :razz:

[QUOTE=Inacio;26159896]He's silly though. "Hey hey look the trade I've made" Links me to that post and says "Who won TF2 now? :fuckyou:" :colbert:[/QUOTE] I actually do that on purpose because I get at least 20 messages per day asking me " Should I trade my x for x " type. Sure, we can be friends, but don't use me as your trade machine. Oh and not to burst your bubble or anything, but you could've got 110-120ish dollars for that green flames, so the guy you traded with probably profited by now. You still won the game anyway. And I don't like how some people think I'm too elitist to hang out with them. I'm actually normal like everyone else is, add me up if you want to play something with me.

"Hey hey look the trade I've made" Links me to that post and says "Who won TF2 now? :fuckyou:" :colbert:[/QUOTE] Wait a minute, that didn't happen. I sent you link and told you that I got 3 games + confetti for my hearts while you traded your flames for one game alone. Then you started something that it looked like envy or something saying things " Should I care? Looks like I'm broken, I don't give a damn" and you responded ok to every post I made.
How is that butthurt? Doesn't make any sense why should I butthurt because you're not envy. And no I don't ask you for trades, call me a liar if I asked you more than 2 times.
[img]http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/7888/mustbeagibus.jpg[/img] I decided to pull his leg, but only because of this little conversation. Him: watcha want for it? Me: I'm not positive on its value, so I'm just looking for offers. (He places an axtinguisher, wrangler, and skull cutter into the trade) Him: Its not worth much, it's like the gibus. Me: Do you think I'm retarded? Him: no, it just isn't worth that much. Him: There's a skin on FPSbanana that replaces it with a gibus. Me: hurr Me: must be a gibus
