It's a lot better for me. Framerate seems better too. Haven't crashed since the update.

They're one of the more valuable items in the game. They probably target you because you don't have a lot of playtime, or something, and they're trying to get a good deal out of a trade with you.K2Valor said:
I don't know, they just like them. They are "rare", and any class can wear them. They go for about $25 now (Yes, they are worth more then you would of paid for the game at the time)
I can only imagine it is due to the particle effect.
If you do go for a trade, make sure you get a whole screen of hats. At the very least, don't trade it for a single weapon.

better keep it, or if you have really no interest in it, you could probably sell for cash.K2Valor said:I almost traded for a single scout weapon. Woops
I'm willing to give it to someone on NeoGAF whose willing to offer up a relatively fair trade. I don't really know what a fair trade would be, I just personally want some hats/weapons for scout (which is my fav class).
What is a "key" also?
Edit -- I'm gonna try out TF2 trading post. See what that gets me.

Mann co Key, used to open various crates.K2Valor said:
Valued at $2.50 in shop or about 2-2.33 refined metal.
Don't fall for any lowball bs.

Haven't checked because I downloading Dungeon Defenders on Steam. Are crashes fixed yet?
Long shot but let me know if you'd be interested in Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines and Alpha Protocol. I'd be happy to trade both of those for the buds. Wouldn't do you any good if you don't dual boot windows but V:TMB is an old Source engine game so I'd imagine it wouldn't run too bad on a meager modern video card.K2Valor said:

Don''t trade them for anything. Earbuds are for wearing, not trading.K2Valor said:I almost traded for a single scout weapon. Woops

still crashing, but under certain circumstances, like being in the loadout menu and my team capture a point in PL.
Give. Worth about 2.5x that.Acerac said:
But yeah, I would say it is worth 10 to 30 normal hats (Depending on just what the hats are), or about 600 normal weapons.
If you don't play TF2 much, just goto SourceOP and sell it for cash.
Also, a Key is a tool you can buy from the Mann Co store, the game's Microtransaction E-Shop. You can open up the crates you find, and is the only way to open them. You cost $2.50 a pop. There is a 1% chance a crate will have an Unusual Hat, which has a special particle effect. Unusual hats are worth from $25 for ones that people feel are poor, to upto $500+ for ones that are both a hat people like, and have a effect that is ether perceived as "good" or just goes well with the theme of the hat (Christmas hats having snow, Pyro hats being on fire)
Now, it is likely People will offer Keys for your Earbuds. They are currently worth about 13-14 keys (While keys cost $2.50, their market value is closer to $2, due to the whole back end of the TF2 economy of people buying keys to create additional accounts to idle for items, then selling the keys for cash, to make each account effectively $1)
Now, while keys may not be useful for you, they are really good trading chips. They are each worth about 2.66 Refined (2 Refined, 2 Reclaimed), so you could get a hat or two for each one. You could also get a big pile of weapons, each one would be roughly 45 weapons. Though people don't often keep large stashes of weapons around, so you would likely want to trade down yet again from a key about 2.33-2.66 refined, break the metal up into smaller bits, and use that metal to trade for weapons.
Also, for just normal weapons, just ask around on the GAF server, most people will do a 1:1 trade for any of your weapon for any weapon they have an extra of. After a few months, most weapons are more or less "worthless", in that they don't have any extra value other then their basic value to make metal with.
Now, for crates. Most crates are fairly worthless. You will be lucky to get a single weapon for them. It is to be noted though there is a single crate that is worth a lot at the moment, the Salved Mann Co Crates. This is Crate Series 30, the crate also has a unique icon. At the moment, they trade for about a key each.
Any follow up questions to the info dump?

That's weird. Crashing stopped for me, at least before this 1.4 mb update. Gotta give it a try.

i namedropped it in the trading thread but just gonna mention it here
tf2 warehouse is crazy
it's automated trading bots on a system based on credits and trading in your old items and shit and picking stuff from a "store" for a bot to contact you via steam trade to redeem them
it's not for finding everything, but it's great for picking up random weapons and stranges
