[QUOTE=108payne;28731459]Don't mean to burst your bubble but you could get like any unusual you could ever want with a number that low.[/QUOTE] So? It's a number. I don't give a shit. I got 2 great V. Hats out of it. I don't even LIKE unusuals.
[QUOTE=CommanderMayhem;28730641]I just pulled of an [b]EPIC[/b] scam, but forgot to get a pic! [highlight]Soldier Medal # 472[/highlight] for [highlight]Sodlier Medal # 4349 + Vintage Level 100 Kabuto, + Vintage Hound Dog [/highlight] Yeah. A silly number scored me 2 amazing tier Vintage Hats.[/QUOTE] Excellent job. You've managed to turn what would be maybe 5 buds into 2.5 [b]Way to Go[/b]
[QUOTE=CommanderMayhem;28731478]So? It's a number. I don't give a shit. I got 2 great V. Hats out of it. I don't even LIKE unusuals.[/QUOTE] But it terms of worth, you lost on that one. You could get like 25 v. Hats with a sub 500 medal.
Also, I want to keep the Soldier Medal. That's the other thing.
[QUOTE=CommanderMayhem;28731607]Also, I want to keep the Soldier Medal. That's the other thing.[/QUOTE] you couldve gone from your medal to that number and gotten like 3 buds rofl
well fuck why does numbers on a medal mean so much anyway, that's fucking pointless
who has medal #1? who has medal #1337? who has medal #11111?
[QUOTE=CommanderMayhem;28731815]well fuck why does numbers on a medal mean so much anyway, that's fucking pointless[/QUOTE] You know, why does Vintage mean so much anyway?
[QUOTE=DatWut?;28731851]You know, why does Vintage mean so much anyway?[/QUOTE] Touché.

Well fuck. I didn't know that a fucking number was such a huge deal. In all honesty, [highlight]I Don't GIVE A FUCK[/highlight] I got the hats I wanted. I have too many hats already. I don't even like unusuals. I don't need to get a lot just because I can, I was fine settling with just what I wanted.

I have too many hats already. I don't even like unusuals. I don't need to get a lot just because I can, I was fine settling with just what I wanted.[/QUOTE] I remember when all you wanted was a Max Head. That didn't last long.
[QUOTE=KwiggALT;28732072]I remember when all you wanted was a Max Head. That didn't last long.[/QUOTE] I never wanted one. [editline]21st March 2011[/editline] I have my Bill's and fuck I hate Max's Head. So ugly.

[QUOTE=Octave;28732128]You got scammed bro. No need to deny it:v:[/QUOTE] I've acknowleged that it was not the best deal. But I trade by how I want things. I trade keys for tags. I like tags better. I've traded Top tier hats for low tier simply because I want that more. I'm trying to tell you that it really does not bother me.

It's kinda like, "Fuck you community, I trade what I want. Fuck your values"
Traded a reclaimed for a [img]http://www.tf2wiki.net/w/images/thumb/6/6a/RED_Physician%27s_procedure_mask.png/95px-RED_Physician%27s_procedure_mask.png[/img] Felt great. :unsmith:
[QUOTE=inno98;28731837]who has medal #1? who has medal #1337? who has medal #11111?[/QUOTE] I know both guys with 1337# and 1#. They have been offered 1600$ each for them and they said no
[QUOTE=Doodles;28732233]I know both guys with 1337# and 1#. They have been offered 1600$ each for them and they said no[/QUOTE] HOLY FUCK! That's just... crazy.
[QUOTE=KwiggALT;28732208]I like the way you think. It's kinda like, "Fuck you community, I trade what I want. Fuck your values"[/QUOTE] [h2]exactly[/h2] Fuck stupid values. A Level 100 hat is worth more than one with level 26? Bullshit. That's pointless. Your hat is valueless because it has gift text? Bullshit. A key is worth more than a nametag, but only half the price? No, also bullshit. Keys are just a waste of money. I fucking hate the economy. It's broken. It always will be. And as much as everyone would like to wish it can be 1:1 for the hat you want, that's never the way it will work.
[QUOTE=Doodles;28732233]I know both guys with 1337# and 1#. They have been offered 1600$ each for them and they said no[/QUOTE] I would do that in a heartbeat if I had medal #1337. For #1, I would wait for a higher offer.
[QUOTE=KwiggALT;28732208]I like the way you think. It's kinda like, "Fuck you community, I trade what I want. Fuck your values"[/QUOTE] That's what I do everyday, I trade my Bucket Hat that I didn't use for an Eyelander because I didn't need, nor' want that hat. I have all the stuff that I want right now, why not share some of the less needed items and make other people happy? :haw::h: [QUOTE=CommanderMayhem;28732263][h2]exactly[/h2] Fuck stupid values.

I've done lots of 1:1 hat trades though, that's how I got where I am right now, with all the items that I want. Why would I start collecting millions of Earbuds, Medals and Max Heads. There is no use for it, except for it can be a hobby, but if you want a hobby you should go do something productive instead like playing an instrument and such. :frown:

With the current economy which as you said, is fucked up, the low level medals could get you more than just 2 v. hats and a replacement medal. But if you're happy with the trade it's not really a scam in the end :v:

[QUOTE=Derposaurus;28733193]If you don't care about numbers... [b]YOU LOST ABOUT $60[/b][/QUOTE] Maybe he doesn't care? Maybe he's like me and got around $6000. :3:
Alright. I will never make trades again. I just made another. Feel free to make fun of it. V. Drill Sarge for V. Rag + V. Pot
