If you’re looking to replenish your stock of nice things, I do have a wonderful bridge I’m looking to unload for cheap.

Well maybe my opinion of it is skewed because I'm looking at people at the higher end of the market. https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561197966756586 American McGay posted:$250 lmfao I played it for like 3 years and just going off of random drops and maybe buying keys with birthday money, I don't think that's too ludicrous. Galaxander posted:I thought maybe you lost some of your favorite weapons and like craft hats or whatever and I could conceivably help out a little but Oh no, I did. If you look at it without the date modifier everything worth more than two refined metal is gone aside for some Spy stuff. I liked that Anger and Big Kill and I was a big fan of that Bonk Boy since I crafted it myself and managed to get a strangifier for it somehow. Basically all of that was just sitting in my inventory because I'm stupid and sentimental about that stuff and I still remember being really exited when I got some of it. Anyway, don't worry about helping, you're the first one to not be laughing at me despite me very much deserving it so I appreciate that.

At least you didn’t have expensive unusuals I guess  Unrelated, but casual (mostly EU afaik) has been flooded with bots lately. They enter servers in groups, have no profile pictures and usually all play the same class. They’re easy to fight against since their AI is pretty rudimentary - the issue is that they will vote kick everyone on their team (even people who are still connecting) and report them, which has been leading to people getting matchmaking bans in some cases. Some guy on my friends list is banned for two whole months because of this. TF2!

I had a few guys last night spin botting around. Then when we tried to kick them, they would change their names to the guy complaining the loudest and the non cheater would get kicked. Infuriating!

It's still easy to get tripped up by this though. I wish Valve would make it so you automatically get the boot if you change names during a match. I know people sometimes just do it for goofs, but I don't think it'd be a big loss.

In light of the above. Several people have asked to buy my spelled items recently. Any info on what each spell / item with spell is worth? 10 keys for every hat with a spell on it is the current offer. (Not sure how you'd sort to only show the stuff with spells, but it's 46 hats total) Xander77 fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Mar 23, 2019 |

does captain invictus still do trade brokering? i'd expect he's out of the business, but if he's still in it, that always used to be the best bet for getting a good price for your stuff

Xander77 posted:In light of the above. Several people have asked to buy my spelled items recently. Any info on what each spell / item with spell is worth? I wouldn't take it. Spelled hats (and to a lesser extent weapons) are becoming popular for multiple reasons: 1. They're rare and can't be made any more. 2. There is a market for them as there are collectors. 3. There's profit to be made out of speculation (sometimes innocent, sometimes sharking). 4. Bots haven't taken over automated trading yet. For cosmetics (especially miscs), footprints are top. Depending on the paint space, the glowing paints are second. Voices are lowest, but can add more value when paired with another spell. Some are also valuable simply because they're 1 of 1 in the world because no one else bothered to put a spell on it. Weapon spells are iffy, but still add some value.

I have a fast learner with sinister staining and team coloured footprints because my Scout was my guinea pig when spells were new. I don't plan on parting with it (I love running around as a glowing zombie with a deep voice and massed flies), but now I'm curious how much it's worth...

My ghost tyrant leaves matching-colored ghost footprints, is this why people keep trying to add me on Steam again? There was a gap where people left me alone but there's been a resurgence lately.

LazyPurple's videos are nicely done, and I don't think anything he says is wrong or stupid, but I don't find them very interesting. I don't really watch any youtube people though so idk.

If you don't have console enabled it's in the menu somewhere. No one seems to know this, so you get to play whichever one you want!

You interpreted it as "10 keys for each hat with a spell on it," but couldn't it also be interpreted as "10 keys for all the hats, collectively, with spells on them?"
