[QUOTE=DominationDarre;28308267]I've seriously sent around 15 trade requests. Literally, every single last one was declined... Didn't even get a chance. :saddowns: Then I find one guy, he's got about 8 hats, 5 of which are vintage, the other 3 are high-tier nv's... Not a single one of them was equipped.. I think that I'm hitting some goldmine, and I send him a trade. "Hey. I was gonna ask if I could offer you some stuff for some of your hats" *Guy puts up a random crate* *I wait a minute to see if he types something* *He finally starts typing. Takes him fucking forever to type* "sorry i dont have ayn hats so 2 speak. gota go" -Your trade has been canceled- :suicide:[/QUOTE] l2social engineer

Analyze the rest of the server as well. Or, if you play and scam at the same time, continue playing after pressing escape.
Wow, just traded 8 weps for a clean Scotch Bonnet, with the old "my lil bro needs demo hat but i can't afford!!!!!" feels god man :smug:

I just got 20 dollars for my extra earbuds. I consider this a scam because I have 20 dollars and he has some pixels. The game just payed for it's self.
[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;28306161]gosh, it wont have an extra word at the end!! oh no lets make it worth 5x it's original value![/QUOTE] Ohey, you're that guy that came to me in the Mario_Kart server saying "do you have that left 4 dead hat, i think is called beels hat".
[QUOTE=Ceiling Man;28309522]Ohey, you're that guy that came to me in the Mario_Kart server saying "do you have that left 4 dead hat, i think is called beels hat".[/QUOTE] What's your steam username? Cause that probably was me.

Looking at items, or entities, what have you, you can't always look at the physical, material aspect of it. Sure, he just paid some money for some pixels on his screen, but what is the text in front of your eyes right now? One can argue that obviously, words and letters have uses. However, an item in a game can have a use to whoever owns it, no matter what it is. When you look at it physically, he exchanged currency, an item in "holdable" status is composed of linen, cotton, and silk, with another person over the internet, receiving an array of pixels. Afterward, he would navigate his way into the game, moving a peripheral and pushing down his left forefinger, eventually getting to the point where he has light arranged on a monitor in a certain fashion, being delievered to his eyes and triggering a response in his brain. When you ask the question "Why?", you must observe the situation from the receiver's mentality. The receiver bought the item because he would be content with it. He may not be able to feel it, but sight is just as much of a sense. Both people in the exchange received something they wanted.
[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;28309636]What's your steam username? Cause that probably was me.[/QUOTE] Same as the one in the pretty little Steam icon below my name. :U And yeah, you had the same avatar and name.

[img]http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Kickthebaby/TeamFortres2/ProfessionalBusiness/noir.jpg[/img] Very slow weekend. This one one of those entertaining types that acts like it's the most offensive and creepy thing in the world to receive a trade request, so he was fun to talk to. Now I just need to solve the problem of organizing my backpack. My hat page is getting too full! Soon it'll have to be two hat pages!

Its just I feel like there is a better way of going about getting earbuds than real money. If he enjoys the earbuds then I cant argue with that.
I've got some dude here offering an Ellis Cap for my Max Head, or some weapons for my Big Kill. He said he's not from Facepunch, and he denies that he's trying to scam me, despite me telling him that I scam all the time too. Has the guide been leaked or something? e: He's not set up his [url=http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198025319462]profile[/url] or anything, so maybe he is just clueless.
Maybe he figured it out himself?
[QUOTE=Suttles;28311710]Maybe he figured it out himself?[/QUOTE] Yeah, not a huge stretch I suppose, but from the way he was typing I can't imagine that's true.
