Did a couple tours of Mann versus Machine and got some specialized killstreak kits and 1 professional killstreak kit, traded the 1 professional + 5 specialized kits into 1 strange wrench with a professional killstreak attached. traded the wrench with the professional killstreak attachment into 1 bud. Traded 1 bud into a smoking lucky shot. traded the smoking lucky shot into 25 keys (1.5 buds) Time to see how much further i can climb on the unusual ladder.
Dig it: Traded my Hypno-Soldier Set to Mystia for 3 lower tiered Unusuals. Meh repaid a past favor with another, lower tiered Unusual. Combined those four with my lower tiered Unusual Grimm Hatte and just traded all five of those for a Terror-Watt Grimm Hatte. Combined with my Kill-a-Watt Blighted Beak...
Invested in unusual buisness a couple months ago, 2 buds Stormy Stash > Hellfire Geisha > Terrorwatt YWN&Geisha > Green Black Hole Milkman. So much win , thank you @Hooch , @Lord HellJack
Dig it: Picked up a preorder of Dark Souls II ($50 USD - 1.8 Buds). Combined it with my Disco Beat Down Bonk Leadware (3 Buds Max), Smoking Samur-eye (1.5 Buds), and my Nuts & Bolts Greased Lightning (1 Bud) and traded it for a Cloud 9 Greased Lightning (6 to 8 Buds). Fucking Sweet.
If he decides to cash out with that unusual , he'll get the the same amount he invested, or even more. (6-8)
Well, if I decided to cash out right now I could easily pull 10 - 12 Buds from this hat alone. The Market hasn't really decided what it's defined worth is, but the least I've seen them go for is 6 (just over my purchased price). The most is 12. But keep in mind that Nuts & Bolts and Smoking are fairly crap effects. And robo-hats are (for some damn reason) not worth that much without a good robo effect attached. All in all, I really believe I came out ahead on this one. Besides, look how fucking sexy this looks...
The UE4 just released and their terms for using it says: $19 a month per seat 5 % of gross in royalties per selling project Since I am in the Founders Club I get the following: Free License until 31st of December 2015 No Royalty payment for all projects released before 31st of December 2015 I'd say that's a profit story
THIS STORY IS NOT ABOUT ME However it's an amazing tale of luck. If you may or may not have heard , a 4th BURNING KE was unboxed. The user's backpack was worth a total of 20$ USD and is now worht 7,000$ USD. http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198054329089 Video of the unboxing: His trade: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/18787329
Won a 1 bud crab (Steaming Beret vs Haunted Ghosts Mongolian), and ON THE SAME DAY I unboxed a 2 bud unusual (Noble Assortment of Hats with Circling Peace Sign).
On some servers like trade servers, the spy will do a spycrab taunt randomly. People will choose to go spy both and taunt until one does the crab taunt 3 times, or whatever is decided on. It's like gambling basically. They take turns taunting, or taunt at the same time and whoever does 3 crab taunts first loses.
