[QUOTE=Killdozer;29457846]Hopefully you don't scam yourself out of a few unusuals[/QUOTE] just traded 8 unusuals for a weapon

Got a friend the Ol' Guadalajara, and the Triboniophorus tyrannus for some non vintage weapons. (The Triboniophorus tyrannus was traded for one Frontier Justice) [editline]26th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=schleimgurke1;29455369]Trade guy, ask for earbuds. Response: "screw you're earbud-mother." What.[/QUOTE] I usually ask them what items they need first, then ask for their hats. If you immediately ask for hats you seem to get declined a lot more.

[QUOTE=The Party Spy;29458021]Can I give you a fan o war for your hearts toque?[/QUOTE] I... Traded it already. It was a hard to put down offer, that only a insane man could put down. It ended up helping me complete trading, so alls good, I suppose. I REALLY miss it tho.

You have to make them feel like you are as inexperienced as them, makes you seem less threatening. Act dumb, I call bills "the army looking hat" and buds "white earphone things" lol

[QUOTE=The Party Spy;29458021]Can I give you a fan o war for your hearts toque?[/QUOTE] I just realized the buds i gave to you yesterday were level 99

[QUOTE=Jessecar96;29458060]I just realized the buds i gave to you yesterday were level 99[/QUOTE] Noticed that today too. I got an offer of buds and a googly gazer for it. Neat.

[QUOTE=Suttles;29458079]That description tag, I do need. :3:[/QUOTE] I have an extra if you'll give me some random weapons or something for it. I'm running a bit low on things to trade for hats. :v:

Seems like 9/10 people with buds/bills are declining every time. Makes me sadface.

[QUOTE=Killdozer;29457626]Is there a way to exclude yourself from the scanner? I keep seeing myself and thinking "Oh, i'll go after him"[/QUOTE] Just remove your name from the status list you pasted before you scan.

I have a new little trick for getting unusuals :) got myself a searing plasma towering pillar of hats soon I hope.

Is there a program like the Unusual finder for Max hats?

I'm about to get 2 buds from one person. [img]http://i.imgur.com/yAH4C.png[/img] I thought he had 2, must've been a bug in jesse's scanner.

Found a 5 hour with bills, and the homefront hat. (Without a scanner!) I'll post it if I cant get them. He's not responding, but at least he isn't declining. fuck it: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197971816099[/url][URL="http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198008565462"][/URL]

Could I be activated? The scanner in the OP seems to be down. edit: My name is RoastedSeaweed.

Can I also be activated? My name is SPESS MEHRINE

What do you guys usually do with the stuff you get? Trade them for keys and try to unbox an unusual or do you just keep them?

[QUOTE=Alyx;29460258]What do you guys usually do with the stuff you get? Trade them for keys and try to unbox an unusual or do you just keep them?[/QUOTE] I try trading them for hats I don't have yet to complete my collection. Unfortunately, Its kinda hard. Also when I feel generous, I sell one cheap for refined metal and use that refined to scrap bank to restart the scamming process

Someone is trading a Heavy duty rag with confetti for 2 buds, should I do it?

[QUOTE=Alyx;29460390]Someone is trading a Heavy duty rag with confetti for 2 buds, should I do it?[/QUOTE] No. Its a horrible hat.

Just traded with someone before, trying to get their G. Companion Cube Pin Offer 2 scout weapons, he says ok. Turns out he's a troll, knows the value of the pin, asks for hats I feign ignorance, and say that I don't know the value of stuff, and the hats I have are my friends, who's on holiday He asks to see them Put up: Max Head, Max Head, V. Bills, Bills, Bills, Towering Pillar, Towering Pillar, Potato Hat He starts BEGGING me to do it for a Max head, saying it's a fair trade, infact that he'd be losing out on it.
