Hey Borgnine, the mini-sentry issue should be fixed now.

If you could grab one item from the game and have it in real life, what would it be?

I pick the Medi-Gun.

Bonk! Atomic Punch.

I would hit by so many cars (and do other stupid shit) without fear of self-harm. It would be so much fun.

Alternately, a teleporter.

I really wish they'd get rid of the demo's "I didn't need your help y'know" 'thank you'. It's really annoying having to spam thanks multiple times so as not to appear like an arse to your medic.

Is anyone else's Steam hogging a single core of their processor? Steam.exe always eats around 50% CPU for me no matter what I'm doing (even if all windows are closed). It bogged down my TF2 so much. 20-25FPS on any map at the lowest settings FTL.

of course they can. all income is taxable.

hell, remember that one mobster? al capone or whatever?

got busted for not paying his taxes, not for murdering people or whatever. you have to claim it, even if you made the money illegally. of course you don't have to state how you make it when you file taxes.

he could of made soo much more if he learned to play online poker (but sadly that bubble has burst).

but still a decent amount.

just sucks you have to take advantage of newbs to get stuff for cheaps.

and now there are things like unusual scanners (i don't know of it but read about it in the AMA) so when people find an unusual, they will get like 10+ friend requests overnight trying to rip em off, so it's pretty hard to do it now possibly.

That just makes me wonder how much money these kinds of people will make with Diablo 3.

15 year old kid is a douche. His logic to scamming is hilarious. "If I didn't do it, someone else would."

Also, buying buds for $5. Just add me and don't tell anyone else you're doing it for this cheap...er I mean expensive.

@Clyde: I will give you $20 for it.

Your lifeless ragdoll. You can't say no to me anymore.

Cool. I just realized this also means Artemis was probably telling the truth when he claimed he destroyed so many of them with his huntsman, and I mocked him because the stats didn't back him up. I probably owe him an apology.

...

Welp, see you guys later!

I get spammed wit friend requests because of my team captain #26...

Everyone is trying to hefty lowball me and if i say thats not enough, they insult me and leave.
I think they should know that someone who has such a hat ACTUALLY KNOWS what its worth.

24 alts and counting are giving me a steady flow each month when translated to buds sold for paypal... it's supplemental income, just enough to pay for all the games I ever want to buy throughout the year.

I think it's decent business, I sell keys exclusively to GAF a discount against the mann co. store @ 2.30 (2.00 for 5+ each) , and GAF can save money when opening strange crates. (which i notice is sort of a thing now).

I believe Visa Giftcards can be used the same way in $10 increments. I think it been said Paypal can do something with virtual credit card numbers or something. Someone help me out here?

my credit card company allows for an unlimited number of virtual credit card #'s with custom spending limits.

Set 5 or so virtual cards to $10 USD each. Buy premium TF2 for 2 accounts on each card @ $5 USD, for a total of 10 accounts for those 5 virtual cards.

After a month activity, the idlers would have paid for themselves and you can start making a profit if you just smelt all the items into refined and convert the refined up to promo bills or buds to sell on paypal.

I think he's probably underestimating how much time he's spent on trading forums or trade servers.

Considering he admitted that he makes most of his money finding people who don't know how much their stuff is worth, I find it hard to believe he's spending that little time.

He claimed it ended up around $25/ho, but I'd guess it was more like $15/ho, which is still great for a kid. He's probably learned more applicable skills doing this than he will throughout all high school. He basically created his own little business. That said, he probably could stand to take an accounting class. He thinks he doesn't need to pay taxes on that income :(

Do you actually spend the time selling all the "older" weapons, or just craft them all away?

I have to agree with you on the Medi-Gun, you could make a lot of money selling it to the government or a private company.
