The scam trades megathread. - Games

Just open a trade with them, dump in the item you want to sell, and askwhat they offer for it. If nothing, ask if they want something, anything, even weapons. People are stupid. I haven't done it myself, but I heard people got some good deals with this, mostly because you're going through all the idiots in a server.

I hated that tactic because It's annoying. Well Gotta try.

Same here. That's why I change my screenname (and maybe avatar) before doing annoying things like ofering bad trades and generally trolling. So I can return to the server as my 'regular' self and they will be non the wiser. Makes me feel all secretive and removes any feelings of "I shouldn't do this, they'd hate me".

My plan is to get the treasure hats, go to a trade server as soon as i get them and sell them as rare.

[QUOTE=pedroion;26571494]:smugdog:[/QUOTE] Yeah, eventually there will be a devaluation of unusuals along the road. Not anytime soon, but I'm sure it'll happen as people start offering more and more for Max's, etc

[QUOTE=Vonwilbur;26576774]Really, [b]REALLY[/b] Good trade. Makes me wish I played tf2 when we could get a medal[/QUOTE] I was there, I was just at school at the time. Those pesky timezones.

[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;26580311]I was there, I was just at school at the time. Those pesky timezones.[/QUOTE] Kind of like when there's a free hat giveaway that only goes up to like 50 posts and I get back from school to find it's at like post 76

Fez for V.Bonk Helm V.Fedora NV Hound dog Did i do good ?

V.Soldier's Stash+Demoman's Fro+6 other vintage weapons for Lum Lid,did i go great?

You didn't even do well.

[QUOTE=Kim_Jong_il;26582855]V.Soldier's Stash+Demoman's Fro+6 other vintage weapons for Lum Lid,did i go great?[/QUOTE] Looks like a fair trade to me

I traded a Bombing Run for a Lumbricus Lid. I would say it's an alright deal.

[QUOTE=Kim_Jong_il;26582855]V.Soldier's Stash+Demoman's Fro+6 other vintage weapons for Lum Lid,did i go great?[/QUOTE] As great as North Korea's economy.

Traded 1 Series 1 crate and 4 Series 2 crates for a Soldier's Pot and pink paint.

1 refined --> pyro mexican hat --> stout shako + non v. towering pillar did i do good?

[QUOTE=TheForeigner;26588719]1 refined --> pyro mexican hat --> stout shako + non v. towering pillar did i do good?[/QUOTE] You dont even have to [b]ask[/b] to know that is a good trade.

[QUOTE=FuryBlitz;26588992]You dont even have to [B]ask[/B] to know that is a good trade.[/QUOTE] how much are non v. towers worth? //seriously i have no idea, i thought 2 hats for 1 was a good deal

[QUOTE=TheForeigner;26589026]how much are non v. towers worth? //seriously i have no idea, i thought 2 hats for 1 was a good deal[/QUOTE] Non v. Towers are worth a bit to the right person (someone with few hats who wants an all-class hat mainly). You could probably get a decent hat or so out of it. Speaking of 2:1 trades, a while back I traded my Tyrolean + Sober Stuntsman for an Ol' Snaggletooth. I soon began to regret the trade, since I'm still needing to get a hat for each class. But I just found a guy today who happily traded his Tyrolean+(white-painted)Tricorne for my Snaggle. So in gist I turned my Stuntsman into a painted Tricorne (I like the Tricorne a lot better than the Stuntsman, and I was going to paint the Tricorne white anyway). Now I'm hoping to find someone who will give me two hats for the Tyrolean, but that will be a little harder. lol [editline]9th December 2010[/editline] Just found someone who would give me a Baker Boy + Brigade Helm for it. Should I do it? [editline]9th December 2010[/editline] Just did it. I don't regret. :D

Need some advice, I'm not too sure what the Lumbricus Lid is worth, could I get more out of a Vintage Brain Slug then a Lumbricus Lid? Because I just got an offer with a V. Brain Slug for that Lid.

(Borked my automerge D:) [IMG]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll230/dannystorm/hl22010-12-0918-04-26-92.jpg[/IMG] HOLY SHIT. I'm really happy now. I was just in a trade server and the guy said he wanted a Brigade Helm. I send him an offer, wanting to see what he'd give. I just pop it into my offer and he puts a Merrywheather up. The cool thing is I don't even like the Merrywheather so I'm hoping I can trade it for some good stuff. :D Oh, and right before that happened, I saw this occur: Saxton Fail has found: The Flare Gun Saxton Fail has traded for: Vintage Ritzy Rick's Hair Fixative Saxton Fail has traded for: Lumbricus Lid Saxton Fail has traded for: Brigade Helm Feroce has found: Frontier Justice Feroce has traded for: Dueling Mini-Game So basically Saxton gave him a weapon and a dueling mini game for three hats (please note one is the Lid) and a weapon. I'm having a good day.
