[QUOTE=Psycho_Shadow;26400124]Sound makers are worth that much? Who the hell did you trade with for that?[/QUOTE] I would say they are worth more than a gunslinger because they can only be purchased! [editline]30th November 2010[/editline] Well they are worth more than a spare gunslinger, right?
Where do you find these people?!?!
How i "countered" a scam. My (friend), necro, knew I was looking for the big kill and told me that he had a friend who wanted 2 hats for it. He said that his friend would trade it for 2 hats only with necro. He wanted me to give him 2 hats to trade for the big kill which he would give to me when the trade was finished. Since this is an obvious scam I told him I wanted to hold his vintage medic mask while he traded my hats (which he probably wouldn't). I've tried to get a medic mask for some time and he agreed to trade with me (Fancy fedora and a brigade helm for the vintage medic mask) After the trade he said "Haha! 2 hats for 1" I replied "Ah well, your loss" and he deleted me from his friend list. I knew the medic mask was one of the most wanted items and I finally traded it for a lumbricus lid and a vintage sergeant's drill hat.

[QUOTE=Psycho_Shadow;26400881]How can you call him your friend if he tried to rip you off?[/QUOTE] (friend)... I didn't know him in real life and he seemed kind when i first met him. He was my "friend" until he "ripped me off"... Or kind of ripped himself off.
I've sold V.Hatless Engi hat for 3 refined. Good ain't? Here is touching story. I bought Ellis' cap for 1 scrap Few hours later someone had Bills hat with Painted on color Team Spirit. So I traded Bill's hat + Ellis cap for this Painted Bill. The end. After all I like team spirit color
I traded to my friend both an Handyman's Handle and a Black Paint. Traded the Handle for a refined. Traded the paint for a refined. I gained 2 reclaimeds from the trade, and i finally completed the Pyro Polycount set :smug:
[QUOTE=Psycho_Shadow;26400124]Sound makers are worth that much? Who the hell did you trade with for that?[/QUOTE] This is the feeling we mere mortals have when you produce one of those "6 hats for one rubbish one" trade boxes.
I traded my V. Hound Dog for DiRT 2. Good Trade? I know of its value, but I didn't care for it.

I traded 7 refined + a non vintage sergeants drill hat for 2 copies of Aliens Versus Predator. One for me and one for my friend. I'm a little shocked.

I also preordered it, when it was 59,99 :saddowns:

Yeah I'll snip this because I was mad at some other irl stuff at the time and well. Alienmartian explains the rest well.
[QUOTE=spanaren;26407813]Are you saying that [B]I[/B] got scammed when I traded my completely useless ingame shit for an actual game? I guess I got scammed when I traded hats for DeathSpank, Mount and Blade, Left 4 Dead 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops, the Indie Story Pack, Batman Arkham Asylum, Dogfighter, Warhammer 40k Dawn of War 2 pack and Poker Night at the Inventory aswell.[/QUOTE] I'm saying you got scammed because you traded for an unplayable game. Go go go enjoy your constant freezes (you may be one of those lucky guys without problems with avp, who knows!) Also, I have been a fan of alien vs predator for ages, it would of have been the best trade ever if the game wasn't so buggy and dead.

A guy gave me frying pan+vintage natascha+Ellis cap for a wrangler, after the trade he called me a sucker and left the server.

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;26414382]Some guy on a server told me he would gift me Alien Swarm if I gave him my Bill's Hat. He also said I would get a free hat with the Alien Swarm... :downs:[/QUOTE] Why the fuck aren't you taking that deal
[QUOTE=FuryBlitz;26414297]How![/QUOTE] Ok, I'll explain. In STORYTELLING MODE! I was sitting idly in front of my computer, and decided it was time to claim my Poker Night items, and I would try and trade all those Halloween-class masks I had while I had the game open, anyway. Since I was going to try and trade something, I naturally open up a Mariokart server. I entered the server, and picked a random class to play as. While I was receiving my drops, the battles outside raged on. When the drops were had, I told the good people on the racing track: "I will sell you all the possible Halloween Masks!" Suddenly, one of the players let out a shout. In his best effort, the Mariokart player yelled "Wat is dat strang Sniper gun, it has a feater and I got jarated or somethng!!1!". Ok, so maybe his grammar was better, and he was a really nice guy, but the idea is there. People informed him of the Sydney Sleeper, and the young boy was excited to hear about it. This all happened while I set up my mask-trades. So in all my wisdom, I told him: "I can trade you the Sydney Sleeper, just give me an offer". While I did not have any spares, I wa only asking him in order to see what he was carrying. His first exact words were: "oh cool, what do you want for it?" "I have a russian hat for heavy, is that good enough?" And the rest, is history. Also, I need to keep these things more simple and shorter.
