Pardon my asking, but I always wonder about these kinds of trade requests. I see these a lot and they never, ever make any sense to me.

In this example, if a person has a fire hat and pink paint, why would they trade you the individual parts, as opposed to simply painting their own firemen's hat pink with the pink paint they already have? There is no incentive here at all for anyone to go through the process of adding you, waiting for acknowledgement and doing this trade at all. Maybe if a scrap or 2 were included someone might find it interesting...but otherwise, what's the point? the other party gains nothing at all, while the other guy gains 2 separate items they can sell easily for more or use for something else.

or am I retarded?

But...why would someone do that?

Do people actually take up these offers? It's a stupid request, is it not?
They do. There was a guy buying stranges below the normal price (rocket launcher 1ref for example), many people did it AND if you sell less than 2.33 ref (according to the prices he listed), he charged you 20% for such a small trade. It was pretty ridiculous.

Baffling. Simply baffling.

I've done it before for a 2 scrap commission.

These types of things have to be worked out before hand.

I haven't really played much for a long while, but I got back into the game the very last day of the Halloween update.

So I've realized I should probably sell all my crates since I'm never going to buy a key. I have 8.

19, 20, 21, 21, 23, 25, 29, 32

Steam ID is CajoleJuice. I don't even know what's fair for these. A strange item for each? The only item I kinda want at the moment is a Blazing Bull, though, just to complete the Pyro Halloween outfit. Oh, and I guess I'll sell my Pyro mask to anyone who needs it. It's the only one I have, so it's not like I'm going to complete the Saxton Hale Mask. Although I guess I could trade for the rest of them. Nah.

Sorry but crates really aren't worth a lot. I think you could get a random weapon for a crate (or a scrap for some really early ones (like nr. 1-5) and the latest ones, but a strange weapon for any crate is just... not happening. Unless you have a #30 crate; they are rare and could fetch you a couple of strange weapons.

You don't actually need to craft the mask so if you only want it for the achievement you could just have someone lend it to you.

Cool, I'll just do that, then.

19 and 20 are worth a scrap, but not the others.
Ah, ok guys. Thanks. Funny you should mention a 30 crate, I traded a 30 yesterday... for just one strange weapon. Another person in the server saying how I got screwed gave me the idea to post in here haha.

I'll take those crates off your hands for a rec. 1 scrap for 19 and 1 for 20, and a scrap for the other 6. Let me know if that works, I'll add ya later when I'm off work.

This is good, right, guys? Right?

In all honesty, I didn't realize trading was such serious business. This is what happens when you play for a few days once or twice a year. I have ~100 hours even though I've had the game since before launch (Premeval Warrior!).

That trade is fine. That #30 crate is worth around 4/5 keys.

Haha that's what the dude in the server said. Oh well. I think I'll live being swindled in a trade of virtual items. Thanks again for the info.
 
I officially like TF2 Warehouse now.

Picked up:

Attendant
Salty Dog
Spy Inspector Hat
Degroot Experience
Demo Pirate Hat


for a 6 or 7 hats that I never, ever wear anymore and that would have been hard to sell for the metal I would have used to buy those hats with anyway.

Seems like a great service for items that just aren't in your rotation anymore and don't want to spend the energy trying to sell.

Fun fact: Refined metal is worth more to their system (4500 credits) than 3 individual reclaimed metals (1200 credits x3). they should fix that. it makes no sense.

It's to discourage people filling up the trade bots limited inventory space with scrap/reclaimed metal.

I agree, once they fix some bugs, and stop hoarding the keys (Fuck them for doing that) that are traded in, it will be great.

They're not hoarding them, right? They're keeping them as profit and opening crates to hunt for unusuals; at least, that's what I assumed.

Triddin said that the reason they are keeping keys is because they allowed crates to be traded in, and people took advantage of it, so they're keeping the keys to open up the crates that they received. I don't believe that BS excuse though.
 
I see nothing wrong with them keeping keys. It's their site, they're handling the economy. It's not the kind of site I expect to ever go to to buy keys anyway.

I'd rather them be honest about it. You'd be surprised how many keys are traded in.
 
wow...Just checked into TFWH....they finally adjusted haunted prices....shame, the other day i was making a killing flipping heads.

im still on the fence there...sometimes its great others i get aggravated....guess overall its really good though, but im starting to get a head crab collection cause i cant help getting them when they painted big colors. Though my pyro page starting to fill out nicely.

and yeah Tridden full of shit with that lame key excuse...he hoarding (which fine by me) but still shady none-the-less
