[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;28222861]I think I did pretty good today.. But how the hell do I lowball the fuck out of people for their buds/bills IF THEY DECLINE/DENY THEY HAVE THE HAT :argh:[/QUOTE] Just say "yeah you do, should be on page <page here>" or just ask them to check if they have it.

Put in simple terms. The bills hat is commonly called l4d hat buds is commonly called : mac ox / headphones/ ect. Certain hats are called certain things, if you say "merryweather" it sounds like a big word. IF you said roman hat, they would probally understand
[QUOTE=Suttles;28222986]Certain hats are called certain things, if you say "merryweather" it sounds like a big word. IF you said roman hat, they would probally understand[/QUOTE] Kind of related to this: when you're talking to someone who doesn't speak English, do you translate the name of the hat too?
First scam ever, how'd I do? [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/sad._2.PNG[/img]
[img]http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5342/wankers.jpg[/img] afaik the socks are the only valuable part of the MNC set, and they go for about 3-4 refined a piece. so I'd call this fair, I guess.

They were my favorite item, but I had to trade it..
[QUOTE=Ardren;28223466]Kind of related to this: when you're talking to someone who doesn't speak English, do you translate the name of the hat too?[/QUOTE] If they don't speak English, they probably set the language to their native one, and that indeed translates hat names. Not always correctly, in order to keep the pun in the name. So if you want to be truly professional, keep a copy of every tf_<language> possible. Of course, Google Translate works just fine as well.

[QUOTE=lol user;28223823][quote]Merryweather helmets were originally produced by the Merryweather company, a 19th-century British manufacturer of firefighting equipment.[/quote] Official wiki sez[/QUOTE] I'm sure that more people will associate "Roman Hat" with it than they would "19th-century British firefighting equipment Hat".

For a [b][i]fair[/i][/b] price? hoarder[/QUOTE] [img]http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/5052/hoard.jpg[/img] I'm actually just amassing buds since they're a LOT easier to trade. Just don't know what to shoot for right now, 6 buds for a head seems more like a rip-off since almost all the sellers want that.

Whatever.. you get the point.

I see what you do there also

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;28224261]Your standards are getting lower and lower.. or higher and higher. Whatever.. you get the point.[/QUOTE] Because the only people I find aren't willing to trade them at first, and I end up giving them a fairer deal than I thought. I'll land a cheap one eventually, I just need to get these unused resources put to use (the shitton of mnc items I had lying around).
[QUOTE=Ardren;28224015]I'm sure that more people will associate "Roman Hat" with it than they would "19th-century British firefighting equipment Hat".[/QUOTE] Yeah i kno but it pisses me off a bit

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;28224275]That's a good trade. Dunno why everyone is disagreeing though.[/QUOTE] Because we're so used to seeing incredible trades that "good" ones don't even faze us, which is kind of funny. Well, I was gone a while because I was staying at a friends house, and basically showed him how to do some good trading over the weekend. In two afternoons: Jag > VV[img]http://www.tf2b.com/img/medic_tyrolean.png[/img] Gunboats > V[img]http://www.tf2b.com/img/heavy_ushanka.png[/img] Fists of Steel+wep > [img]http://www.tf2b.com/img/pile_of_junk3.png[/img][img]http://www.tf2b.com/img/pile_of_junk.png[/img][img]http://www.tf2b.com/img/pile_of_junk.png[/img] Ghalistier Gibus > V[img]http://www.tf2b.com/img/soldier_viking.png[/img][img]http://www.tf2b.com/img/demo_bill.png[/img] Brass Beast, Black Box, Reclaimed > V[img]http://www.tf2b.com/img/medic_goggles.png[/img]V[img]http://www.tf2b.com/img/demo_afro.png[/img] V Wrangler > V[img]http://www.tf2b.com/img/pyro_monocle.png[/img] Caber, claim-sword thing > V[img]http://www.tf2b.com/img/engineer_train_hat.png[/img] V[img]http://www.tf2b.com/img/pyro_tripwire_mask.png[/img] This was all on his account, I realized I blacklisted most of the noob servers before trading came out. The guy with the Bills Hat really didn't care about the hats, and he was kind enough to basically give them away Also, only four people on the hall of fame? What about some of the really great traders that don't post a lot here anymore?
[QUOTE=Jessecar96;28224468]Hoarder[/QUOTE] Maybe I just don't want to trade them right as I get them. I've only had the things for a day or two tops.

[QUOTE=Jessecar96;28224664]But, why do you get so many and I never get one :smith:[/QUOTE] Because you touch yourself at night.
