    Oh really, I did not know that. That's really disappointing. Thanks for the heads up!

    BAD Trooster BAD! Now I know why God crashed our MvM last night just before Wave 6! Seriously, thanks for trying...I know your heart was in the right place.

    Backpack.tf seems to be a reliable source currently. The values are based on community votes. An interesting Idea.

    @trooster89 I found another uncraftable Fez for 2 ref. It's a good deal so I picked it up. If you want I will pass it on to you for the same amount. If not I'll throw it in with my other uncraftables. :-D

    Heya BobbyDigi! I've doodling around in hammer. Is there any reason you know of that I can't use the 2009 engine for modding TF2? That's what I've used for Half-Life.

    AFAIK that is indeed what you should be using but I have not played with the Source SDK in a couple years. Would have to troubleshoot the errors you are getting. If you want help with that throw all the details into a new thread and we gcan see what we can find out for ya.

    Bobby, how easy would it be to find an uncraftable Apparition's Aspect for 3 refined or less?

    From what I can see there have been a couple recently listed for 3 refined but sold pretty quick. So to answer your question, not easy. While that is around the right price range, the demand doesn't allow them to be on the market for long.

    Should I sell my strange grenade launcher now or should I wait?

    Also, after trudging through outpost like a swamp of misery I wondered how fun it would be to go out drinking and talking about tf2 trading, the good and the bad. :D
  • BobbyDigiBobbyDigi ? R U #Hats ! TX Icrontian
    Drinking + TF2 talk = Win

    I can tell you this from experience, Some day, you and I will do this, if we will it so

    I happen to be drunk right now. Just walked a mile to get some OJ to mix with my Absolute Citron.

    Sell the grenade launcher now, if they put it in another crate it will crash.

    Sounds like a plan. I'm working on selling it as we speak.

    What about the strange rainblower?
  • BobbyDigiBobbyDigi ? R U #Hats ! TX Icrontian
    That is one that peaked my interest and if I had an extra I would hold on to. The thing is so many of them were opened from the scorched crates but they will almost guaranteed not get into another crate any time soon. They leveled out at about a key and have only slowly went down from there. Currently I would range them at about 1.66-2 ref. The supply is locked and it really depends on if the demand levels or not. Currently the demand seems to be slowly declining, explaining the slow decline in price. If the demand starts raising again (very possible with the holidays coming) then the price could rise again to 1 key+.

    Right. My thought was that they are worth so little now that I'm not really risking a lot holding onto them for potential profit.

    Also, I forgot to tell you that backpack.tf is doing a few raffles because of their first birthday. You have to join the steam group but then are automatically entered when you go here. http://backpack.tf/raffle

    I now have ALL the buds (5, to be exact). How to sell them for ALL the dollars?
  • BobbyDigiBobbyDigi ? R U #Hats ! TX Icrontian
    ^5 @Shwaip. Grats on the sell.

    Sourceop.com, you know more than the average bear so I won't bore you with details but if you need any help or would like me to broker, you know where to find me. :D

    Now if only I had a crate #49
  • BobbyDigiBobbyDigi ? R U #Hats ! TX Icrontian
    You still want a Shovel Il? They are down to 1-2 reclaimed already. If you just want the shovel, much cheaper than opening a crate.

  • IlriyasIlriyas The Syrupy Canadian Toronto, Ontario Icrontian
    If you'd be willing to arrange the trade for me (I have more than enough reclaimed metal, I just have no idea how trading works in TF2 outside of trading with friends)

    Thank you in advance for telling me about the shovel and any future help in acquiring one.
  • GuppyGuppy Warren, MI Icrontian
    @Ilriyas I've got a Strange Shovel you can have for 1 rec. I rarely play Soldier so I don't have much use for it.
  • IlriyasIlriyas The Syrupy Canadian Toronto, Ontario Icrontian
    @Guppy awesome thanks mate! Do I have you on Steam if not my id is pvtgamey

    From what I can see backpack expanders are kinda pricey. Is it worth the trouble to trade for one or easier to just spend the 5 bucks at the store?

    When I was buying them I expected to pay 3 keys or 7 refined each. You can find them for a little less if it is worth your time watching the trades to save a couple bucks. Of corse it is easier to just buy one from the store and since it is just a tool you are going to use, it being uncraftable and untradable for a couple days isn't a concern.

    I have a strange rocket launcher that I'd like to trade for a strange Heavy or Pyro weapon. How do the values of the strange rocket launcher compare to the other strange weapons?
  • DocFrazierDocFrazier Gladbrook, IA Icrontian
    Bobby, I would like to get my bag priced. I have an eerie crate that I need a key for, and I can't just buy one.

    @Crazyjoe The strange Rocket Launcher goes for 1-1.3 Ref. Depending on the stranges you are looking for that could possibly get you a few.

    Bobby, I would like to get my bag priced. I have an eerie crate that I need a key for, and I can't just buy one.

    That's not as easy as it sounds. The Eerie keys, as with most of the event keys, trades for about 2 normal keys. We would have to sell more than 5 refined worth of items out of your bag to trade for one. That is not to say that it could not be done, you have a couple of promo hats and some odd level Vintage weps that you could trade for metal/keys and then trade for the Eerie key, but that would take possibly more time than we have left in the event. I would suggest checking out the items that are inside the crate here and determining the ones you would like. Then we can go about trading for those.

    NOTE TO EVERYONE: I will be out of town for the next week. If I have internet access I will be on the forum but will not be able to keep up on TF2. With the Halloween event ending on Thursday the Mannconomy will no doubt be thrown for a loop. I will not be able to catch up until next weekend and I will continue chatting and helping you guys to the best of my Mannbilities.
