[QUOTE=Xolo;28917002]He actually said he's just give me them, but then he mentioned Soldier is his favorite class. I would've felt a little bad just taking them![/QUOTE] You're awesome. Everyone else seems to get all mad when you offer people more than they ask for.
[IMG]http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t70/adamater2/Untitled-49.png[/IMG] Well I got the crown for 2 heads And the pickle for 3 buds and bills And the hallmark is 350$..... FUCK DA DUMBS

FUCK DA DUMBS[/QUOTE] That isn't a rip off.. If anything, I'd consider that either fair or leaning towards him. Crown w beams is considered godly, and if you say the picklehaube is worth a set than you just traded 3 heads+the 2 guns for a hat worth about the same
It's not really a scam, man. 2 heads = $210, 3 buds and a bill's = $70-80 and $350 for a sunbeams Hustler's is an overestimation. [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] The crown with beams would be worth more than the Hustler's in itself, regardless of what you paid for it.
Why do people like the Hallmark so much?

[QUOTE=plazzydan;28916289]how do you guys do it? like, seriously. any advice? after you find somebody with a hat you want, what do you do? just trade them and ask "any hats?"[/QUOTE] I generally make an assumption of how familiar with the game they are (and, as such, how much they know about their items' worth). Three factors go into consideration: -Hours played -Amount/quality of hats -Rather or not they have a cat in their Steam avatar If they have a low amount of hours played and only a few valuable hats & a cat in their Steam avatar, I typically don't have to use many bells and whistles. I enter the server, trade request them, they almost always accept, and then I ask "hey I'll give you some good guns for your favorite class for that X valuable item" "sure man thanks a lot i love Demo pls give 2 me sordes" On the contraire, if they have a relatively high amount of hours (but still below the threshold I'll bother with), a lot of valuable items, and no cats in their Steam avatar, I typically get to know them a little. They've probably dealt with more blunt scammers before. I might go Medic and pocket them for a while, and comment, "Those buds look pretty cool, man. Wanna open trade with me and I could give you a bunch of stuff for 'em?". Patience goes a long way with these difficult targets.

How much does a genuine samur-eye go for?
By the way, be persistent. Just because they decline you on the first trade request doesn't mean they're not willing to trade - they're probably in the middle of fighting or not sure of why you want to trade. Wait until the end of rounds or, at the least, until they die so they'll be respawning. Be sure to ask over voice or text chat, "hey, XTARGETWITHBILL'S, wanna trade guns and stuff with me?"

I hate you guys who get things like Bills or Buds. [url]http://tf2b.com/id/76561197962652594/[/url] Get shit from this cunt. Never accepts trades.
Anyone know who Fusion.com is?
I have a guy offering me a Genuine Hachimaki for a Pyromancer's Mask, so, uh... Anyone got one? I'll give you a Lumbricus Lid ($5 or 6 refined)
Just letting everyone know, festive unusuals are crap, I havnt gotten one good offer for it, and i've had a ghosts crown for over a month =/ Prices are just going down too.
[QUOTE=adamater;28918006]ghosts crown[/QUOTE] I wonder if that would look good with the HHH?
People like the flies crown because it's "lord of the flies"
[QUOTE=adamater;28918006]Just letting everyone know, festive unusuals are crap, I havnt gotten one good offer for it, and i've had a ghosts crown for over a month =/ Prices are just going down too.[/QUOTE] The liked ones aren't going down. Beak and some others.
Man... dude (Fusion.com) offers me a trade and shows 3 Bill's Hats. He's looking for buds, I say I got a pair, but they're for trade at 2 Bill's and a Vint. Hat. Tries to lowball me a bit with a few Vin. Hats and a Lid, I say no. Final offer was a Vin. Kabuto, Vin. Fedora, Bill's and a Lid. I had to say no.

For every one of them, there's another three gullible people with valuables playing TF2 right now. Forget 'em and move on.
