You know guys, soon they'll be no more people to scam. If someone makes enough bad trades they'll have nothing left.

I wouldn't call this a scam trade per say.. But I started out this week trading my Earbuds and a Rimmed Raincatcher. Now I have Earbuds, Bill's Hat, Familiar Fez, Bloke's Bucket hat and a second Vintage Procedure mask, all without touching my other hats. Feels like I did okay for a weeks trading.
How i counter-scammed a scam: I was playing on a public server of mine, when a random player joins! He starts offering people black ops for a Hustler Hallmark! I wasn't too sure if it was a scam or not but i was being suspicious. I decided to trade with him. He told me to give the hat, then he will give the game, i straight away cancelled. By now i thought it was an obvious scam. He added me and persuaded me for about 2 hours while i was playing HL2 Ep1. I decided to mess around with him a little, I told him i needed to gain some trust from him, so i told him; Why not we make a proper trade where you give me one of your hats so i can hold onto it while you have my one of my refined metal! He agreed and we both pressed ready, I went to have dinner so i could see how much i would piss him off. Well it pissed him off alright! He started swearing at me and telling me to hurry up! Now i straight away knew it was a scam. We traded he took my refined metal, i got his Vintage Procedure Mask. I then told him to give me the game, he disagreed, now he wanted more from me! I said "give me the game and ill return the procedure mask and give the Hallmark!" He removed me and blocked me straight away! So the story ends with him losing a procedure mask and me gaining one! :dance:
Easy metal way. Find someone who have a bad / good hat with LEVEL 100. Then sell for 2 ref+ I bought from TF2TP [B]1x [/B][img]http://tf2b.com/img/pile_of_junk3.png[/img] [B]for[/B] [img]http://tf2b.com/img/fiesta_sombrero.png[/img][B]LVL 100[/B] [img]http://tf2b.com/img/fiesta_sombrero.png[/img][B]LVL 100[/B] [B]for 2x[/B] [img]http://tf2b.com/img/key.png[/img] + [B]2 random weapons[/B] Double win.

[QUOTE='[OMFG]FlyingPig;26501190']6 crates for a bloke's bucket hat. Not sure this is a scam , Cadaver's Cranium for NonV Whiskerd and NonV Brain slug[/QUOTE] First one is pretty good. I dont know about the second one, tho.
Second is pretty good in my opinion.

I just traded a (non vintage) Tyrolean and a Stuntsman for a Snaggletooth.. I'm pretty sure that's a fair trade, or at least I'm happy with it. I had a spare Stuntsman, and I have a Pickelhaube (which I'm using now instead of the Tyrolean of course) and the Snaggle is one of my favorite hats in the game. Value wise I think we were about even. I usually see Snaggles going for 2-3 good vintages, and I gave it for a good non-vintage and a less valuable poly hat. Though I learned a good lesson about trading from it: Have a discussion with the person you're trading with. He first offered a painted Tossle Cap for it and I said I wasn't really interested. He linked to his backpack and I saw he had a decent amount of hats, so I asked if he would offer something else. He says he has an extra Snaggle but I'd have to "up the ante" (as he called it) for that. Told him I'd throw in either a Stuntmsan or a Mullet for it. Anyway I'm happy with the trade. :D [url]http://tf2b.com/?id=novapow[/url]
I traded a "Your Eternal Reward" for a Vintage Tyrolean and a Vintage FaN for a Vintage Spy Mullet. :D

[QUOTE=PauliuzzzLT;26486588]A vintage pimp hat for another [img_thumb]http://mirror.pointysoftware.net/tf2items/items-soldier/medal_sized.png[/img_thumb] :smug: :smug:[/QUOTE] Might I ask exactly how you went about doing that? lol As in did you just go to a trading server and say "Looking for Soldier Medal" then offered someone the pimp hat, or did you say you were trading a vintage Hustlers, and someone offered you a medal? Oh, and I just turned my Pickelhaube into a Guadalajara+Baker Boy. Guadalajara is probably my favorite Pyro hat and Baker Boy is my second favorite Scout Hat (next to the Milkman, which I can't see myself getting for a long time lol). I'm pretty happy about that trade.

Hey guys...rate this. V. mullet for 3 refined and blokes bucket hat. 1 of those refined for v. mining light+2 paint(2 pinks) The last 2 refined for a v. engineer cap. So v. mullet= blokes bucket hat, v. mining light, v. engineer cap, and 2 pink paint. Good?
Also is it true that series 1 crates are canceled? As in they aren't dropping anymore?
[QUOTE=PauliuzzzLT;26507435]Also is it true that series 1 crates are canceled? As in they aren't dropping anymore?[/QUOTE] Quite true my friend.
Yea, series 2's too.
Without a fucking joke, on a server, I saw someone trade 2 crates for Chieftan's Challenge and Whoopee cap. Bricks were shat.

I'm not sure if this is a scam, but a guy came in a server I was playing on asking for a fez. I said yeah, and didn't trade right away, I told him "in a round, I'm still alive". So I die, and immediatly the trade pops up. I put my fez in (non-v) and he puts in a sombrero. Now I'm sick, so I went into a coughing fit and went to get a bit of water. I return, and see a painted yellow backbiters billycock, and him with the trade box checked. I checked the chat and he said, "alright I'll throw this in too". None of the things we traded were vintage. I got two hats. He's a nice guy, and I feel kinda bad for it.
