[QUOTE=i_speel_good;29372603]No they weren't why would their price change there can't be more created what the fuck why[/QUOTE] Cause, you know, prices never change. Hey, I'll sell you my Earbuds for the original price of $50, since prices never change.

Below how many hours do you think people are generally unaware of value?

[QUOTE=DatWut?;29372623]Maybe because everyone who wants a Max Head HAS one. Thus, the demand goes down and the price goes down aswell.[/QUOTE] also it may be because some people hoard it thus depriving the market of a stream of maxes

Got a Vintage Stainless pot and a Vintage Soldiers Stash for a black box. :D

[QUOTE=DatWut?;29372623]Maybe because everyone who wants a Max Head HAS one. Thus, the demand goes down and the price goes down aswell.[/QUOTE] I don't have one :saddowns:

[QUOTE=Smashman;29372663]Below how many hours do you think people are generally unaware of value?[/QUOTE] <200 is generally considered the point at which scamming becomes too hard/they know value.

[QUOTE=KwiggALT;29372700]I don't have one :saddowns:[/QUOTE] I'm in your boat matey... :(

[QUOTE=Chubbs;29372702]<200 is generally considered the point at which scamming becomes too hard/they know value.[/QUOTE] You mean more than, right?

[QUOTE=Smashman;29372717]You mean more than, right?[/QUOTE] Yeah that or earlier.

I almost got buds for a swarm parasite, then the guy said: "Let me ask a trading expert." :crying: [i]And why the fuck can't I get a camera beard? Everyone has them, yet nobody is giving them up.[/i]

[QUOTE=Smashman;29372663]Below how many hours do you think people are generally unaware of value?[/QUOTE] 1. if that guy has 3 hours and joined this year but has all the promos and a shitload of hats its obviously an alt account, dont even bother trying 2. i go for people around 150 hours and below, lacking weps, unorganized backpacks are a +, unequipped hats are a + too. if that person has a large amount of weps but only a hat, and if its disc-ed and renamed, i won't try as he is obviously attached to it. 3. i also look out for people who play like 2.5 hours in the past 2 weeks

This is clearly a science. :eng101: Psychology!

[QUOTE=Smashman;29372717]You mean more than, right?[/QUOTE] Yeah, must've hit the wrong key.

[QUOTE=DatWut?;29372623]Maybe because everyone who wants a Max Head HAS one. Thus, the demand goes down and the price goes down aswell.[/QUOTE] That is silly. I don't have one, and I want one for its sentimental value.

Surely Sam and Max numbers can go up. Those that buy TF2 now, that preordered Sam and Max will get the set...

Started to do this last night with the help of a friend. My first trade: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1734627/tf2/trades/01.png[/img] Then two more after that one: [media]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1734627/tf2/trades/02.png[/media] [media]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1734627/tf2/trades/03.png[/media]

What are Companion Cube Pins worth?

Well I traded a Sydney Sleeper for 8 vintage weapons. Then used one of them to craft another Sydney Sleeper.

[QUOTE=Smashman;29372941]What are Companion Cube Pins worth?[/QUOTE] they probably have a low value seeing that EVERYONE has portal 2

Just a quick question, do I look for these trades in Trade Servers or in-game?

[QUOTE=Arandomu;29373047]Just a quick question, do I look for these trades in Trade Servers or in-game?[/QUOTE] Trading servers usually contains people who know the values

No wonder I've been having such bad luck finding a deal :S But in-game people always decline my random trade requests..

[QUOTE=Arandomu;29373083]No wonder I've been having such bad luck finding a deal :S But in-game people always decline my random trade requests..[/QUOTE] Use a scanner. Theres one in the first post.
