How does one even accumulate that many unusuals? He either A) spends ridiculous amounts of money to buy the hats or B) uses premium search to find newcomers and rip them off.
I've always wondered. Yea, probably. Smooth-talking newbs out of them or something. idk. He obviously unboxed many (see: number of paints he has), but I can't imagine he opened enough crates to have 100 unusuals. That would require the opening of something like 10,000 crates, give or take. and even then, the effects would be much more varied.

My guess is he's sunk in a ton of cash...but I just wonder why.

Check Unusual prices here. You can also check how much promos go for and cross-check promo value with hat value, though many people will over price hats.

Wow wtf, the price for the Stormy Storm Fancy Fedora is fucking insane. I honestly would have snatched it up if it was like $100, but $500 is way too fucking much!

The only stuff really worth anything are the three genuine items from the witcher 2. You could get a game for those 3. Forget about everything else though.

Thanks, would a $15 game be pushing it too far?

That would be about right. But you would need a buyer.

Yeah I've been trying to find one to get rid of the Witcher stuff, all I want is Bastion but it's not as easy to find people as I thought it would be. Even on the steam forums

Have not played TF2 in a long time. Noticed spy has a dagger that allows you to cloak as the person you killed.

1. How rare is this?
2. What would I have to trade to acquire this item

thanks.

All weapons are very common, you can generally do one-to-one trades for them. A scrap will definitely get you it.

I get off of work in 4 hours. I might buy you bastion for all 3 items then if you still want it.

Don't trust him! Even your best friend could backstab you!

:p

Sheesh people are acting like I'm some sort of rogue-like player who back stabs them in video games all the time.

Where would you get such ideas?!?!

He said in an interview (i don't have the link) that he had invested $50,000 last year, and that he's already made over 20k in profit. It's pretty much his full time job as he's one of the most respected traders out there. I hate him.

The thing is very common, it is worth at best one scrap metal, but you could likely do a 1:1 trade with anyone who isn't looking to profit.


And Vehn, how much for the following? These are the strange weapons you own that I don't have:
Bonesaw, Razorback, Syringe Gun, Jarate, Eyelander

You guys should listen to Tenck. I've healed him, and he's only backstabbed me like, three times.

$20k in profit? I wonder what his breakdown was between buying hats for cash and opening crates. What the proportions were. Really, unusuals don't appreciate in value from what I've seen. Only Buds/Bills/Max seem to fluctuate.

Assuming he has his fair share of Buds and Maxes, he must be buying unusuals for low from people just looking to get rid of them and selling them for decent profit.

He's been on my friends list for some time and indeed, he's almost always on.

Regardless, I'm impressed if he's really made that much.
