Team Fortress 2: Trade servers in a nutshell
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 бер 2011
- EDIT 1: Comments are back up, stop annoying each other with trade requests, bragging and whatnot. Please.
EDIT 2: This video was made before the bonemerge tool was created.
EDIT 3: The community-created Mann Co. Supply Crate model didn't exist back then as well.
EDIT 4: Team Fortress 2 was NOT free-to-play and did NOT have strange weapons when this video was made and uploaded.
Main description: Based on daily happenings in TF2.
Have something good and people will want to get it at all (small) cost.
I just picked the HOUWAR for representing a rare hat.
Max's Head and Bill's Hat could've been an alternative, but those are tradable while the HOUWAR isn't (adds to the stupidity in asking for trading it). I know it gets tradable by using gift wrap, but whoever wastes money just for being able to trade something, is quite stupid.
I just noticed that I misspelled Earbuds, but most "MUST HAEV HATS! GIBE HATS PL0X!" idiots misspell it anyway.
There are no unusual hats in this video, because they are stupid Sniper magnets that make you look like a retarded Christmas tree.
The Soldier's Kabuto didn't make a sound when it hit the ground, because reasons. If that bothers you, throw something metallic on the ground at that part of the video.
Music: If you don't know the "The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time" soundtrack, then you better open a new tab, search for it on UA-cam and fill that gap in "education" ASAP.
If you care of course. - Ігри

lost it at the spy trying to trade his crates xD
you forgot those tryhard snipers killing everybody they see
That map was pretty unprofitable for that.
I so much miss the old trade servers where people actually came to trade...
Yep, instead of trading people what is available for trade, they want something else that I'm NOT trading. -_-
Probably a true story, for me. headshots some random kid with a mic 3 times with my gold engie sniper rifle , he sends me trade for it, he offers a a fists of steel and a crate.
I'd say poor Hoovy, but he's got earbuds and a Hat of Undeniable Wealth and Respect. He ain't poor!
-crate-
-crate-
-crate-
-crate-
Lol XD
Spy killed me with his offer,
And heavy's NO seemed funny to me
I hate this shit.
If I'm *wearing* a hat, chances are I don't want to fucking sell it.
Do people actually act like that spy and just offer crates?
***** As a F2P I always did that. Thank god I upgraded...
codgamer18877 You can, but you get untradeable items, I used crates that people gave to me for free
Yep. One of my friends on Steam is a kid, and he offers me crates every now and then.
General Snuggles lol
In premium minds like us yhea ive got premium and unusual is 10 keys in f2pers mind an unusual is 2 crates and maybe if ur lucky u get 1 weapon
I hate when people random trade me for my unusual I'm wearing. Just cuz Im wearing it, doesn't mean its for sale...
So true. I was selling my demoman hat. Get a trade request, and the dude offers me 2 shitty hats for my maxes head. even though it's not for sale the least you can do is offer me something good
the mann co crate spy is me
Spy added: Mann Co. Supply Crate
Spy added: Mann Co. Supply Crate
Spy added: Mann Co. Supply Crate
Heavy: NO!!!!
Trade got canceled
1.i will give 1 scrap for your unusual burning team captain
2. i want that unusual bills hat or i will hack your account
3.i will give this hat for one of your crate
choose wisley
Lol i cant choose one of them
Atleast theres no unusual bills hat...
2. id like to see him try
*hacks account*
3. depends what hat. and only for a shitty salvage.
Saud Dehan There is at least one unusual bill's hat.
dont you hate it when people wants your item and they get butthurt when you are not selling it?
LOL ya.
had that so many times :I
Random Trader: "Can I have your Bonk Boy?"
Me: "No it's not for sale."
Random Trader: "Please."
Me: "No."
Random Trader: "PLEASE!"
Me: "NO!"
NinjaStar531 Yea, piss that. Even worse are the F2Ps thinking that hats aren't a big deal and just go beg for them, especially the kids on the microphone.
NinjaStar531 and they allways end the trade with something like: f*ck you. Or the classic: You suck!
I was expecting Demopan with "Stout ShaKO! For for two two refined!" Gotta love him. The good thing was that I saw it in the thumbnail. Glad that I clicked the video! x3
1:46 Best Part
Crate overload XD
Zaemon Daniels I was once that person.
You forgot about the 'friendlys' whining for being killed.
Because some people want to play the game different way and be just wierd then assholes destroy it.
Well most people that kill friendlys are f2p on trade servers
Uber medic
more like people who dont read the chat when i dont want to fight on my favorite trade server there is always at least 1 fucking guy whos an bitch whos ignorant of chat
jake riley-cross Key weapons an f2p uses:
Machina
BrassBeast
Default Flame Thrower
Natascha
PcSlash and they dont use that
Lol, pretty much. The other problem is that no one seems to have the items you want or wants to buy the items you are selling. Instead, they want the ones you are wearing or the ones you are using. For example, "Hey guys, selling a few stranges, trade me and see em". DUN DUN. *click* "Yo, I'll give ya 2 buds for your Strange KS Machina" "Nope, not for sale. These are" Trade cancelled by xX1337Xx. I hate that. I'm selling what I'm selling so that I can buy what I want to buy and the things I'm wearing/holding ARE NOT FOR SALE! Buy my other crap instead!
So true. These people fucking piss me off.
Dude, if I'm holding it, wearing it, or have it equipped, it's probably not for sale. Ya know???
You forgot the guy who is selling something for a good deal, but people still lowball it.
That is the main reason why I don't trade much anymore... I try and sell a black fast learner for a key flat and people tell me "the paint is worth nothing."
When I check the person's profile, it almost always says they have >100 hours on the game, or somewhere in the 100s.
It just saddens me that the entire point of trading - learning prices, learning the market, and "selling your stuff" in a smart manner - has been lost to the retardation of speadsheets and pricing guides where people blindly follow 'suggestions' rather than actively looking for recent sales and figuring out a good price by themselves. Hell, the other day I traded a guy and he wouldn't even follow a link I sent him which had the item he wanted for a good price, simply stating 'just tell me the prices.' He didn't suspect me of any scams or anything, he was simply too lazy to copy paste a link.
It's this lazy fuckin' attitude that really makes me hate TF2's community trading wise, and that mixed in with a lot of people trying to pull a pawnshop-like deal (aka 90% off or no deal) is just disgusting. I know that AcesGamer holds a similar opinion, but goddamn... It's gotten worse, hasn't it.
I agree that people just want to make as much profit as possible and are kinda assholes but maybe the guy you sent the link to was skeptical, maybe you were just some dude trying to give viruses to people it was simply a smart move in my eyes
Most computers are protected with this thing called an anti-virus software of some sort and I'm pretty sure that guy had it too...
don't forget to pay the 'massive unusual overpay' if you want 1on1...
Frank Shang Hey frank, What anti-virus software? o.O
Because I click on every random link people send me in tf2.
Ah 2011, back when keys were 2ref and we got more than just re-skins every update, not just whenever Valve feels the game is losing interest.
Now keys are 14ref and we have end of the line which added F***ing ducks, a shameless cash grab that re-used the duck model and sounds from the halloween update.
On an unrelated note Fun fact, i used to be that spy and traded away all the duplicate crates i had, turns out some of those were worth a key because some of them had items worth over 2 keys.
So the items are set when you get the crate? I thought the item was set at random when you opened it.
VanFanel1980mx It lists the items you can get on it :3
Yes, but it still doesn't guarantee a good one, most items apparently are not even worth a single key, at least in my experience, that Valve conference I saw long ago didn't take into account how the marketplace has some stuff for really cheap.
i remember when trade servers used to be cool, i mean when TRADING at all used to be cool when it was JUST a ingame feature, now there's "please check this and this and this and this, trade offer sent. Ok R U SURE U WANT TO TRADE? yes. REALLY? R U SURE? yes!, GREAT! NOW CONFIRM THIS AND THIS, THIS ASWELL. THERE WAS AN ERROR COMMITING THIS TRADE, NO ITEMS HAVE BEEN EXCHANGED, PLEASE TRY AGAIN.
p.s: i know that valves been taking these extreme measures to protect US from scammers and its good that they at least are taking action towards that. BUT, its a bit annoying heh and I KNOW THAT U CAN DISABLE YOUR EMAIL CONFIRMATION ON YER PROFILE SETTING, dont even start, BUT i still prefer doing these annoying steps then not having their support if anything wrong happens.
*stfu and gib me ur stuff or i report u!*
"Trading vintage rift axe for 20 refined or 10 keys"...my..god.. the sudden realization that this was back when keys were 2 refined.. 20 refined today will get you just a bit over 2 keys..My how the economy has changed..
itll get you almost three keys... keys are 7.33 - 7.66
Well, when I put up that message, keys were 8.33 refined so neither I nor you are wrong. Though I can honestly say I am thankful keys are going DOWN in price for once.
nowdays that vintage rift axe price would be a huge scam
now its 9.33
LegoGod663 I've seen people selling keys for 10.33.. I mean good god, why are people so darn greedy in tf2 now (disregarding world wide greed right now) I still sell keys for 5.33 because I feel anything above that is a ripoff, I mean.. just why.. It doesn't help that buds are once again in a state of constant descending prices.
"trading vintage rift ax for 20 REF or 10 keys" man times have changed
When the spy was loading all his crates into the trade I laughed my ass off xD
Yeah, for people who care:
I just met a kid who wanted 2 weapons (Boston Bacher and Homewrecker) for a Sandvich. It said "On that way I make profit". When I traded with someone else for only 1 weapon, it raged and screamed like someone stole its lollipop.
I feel bad for spy
This is exactly how it works
TF2Outpost in a nutshell
I love how the heavy was trading since it's always almost true.
The concept of spy paying with crates alone to get buds or the HOUWAR is hilarious.
You got a sub for this, ive seen this on every single trade server ive ever been on. Also, the part with spy trading crates makes me laugh everytime XD
I have had enough emotional and physical pain to understand this. Good Video.
Love how the heavy was quiet before the spy added the 3rd box, then he shouted "NO!"
*spits out milk* You gotta be kidding me! No trade server even has trades going, only snipers fighting each other from each own's spawn.
I have been using UA-cam for around 7 years now, and I have never, ever, ever laughed this hard before. I can't even make it through the spy's crate trade without dying. Thank you.
After 3 years, this is still pretty accurate
I remember back in the day when finding a hat, or crafting one, was really exciting! Now it's just a common event, mainly through trading. Almost everyone has dozens of the things. I also miss having to meet loads of achievements to receive the weapon unlocks (Medic for example).
Now I can just watch this instead of idle for six hours on a trade server and I get the same experience! Thanks Tim.
By the way, fave'd and subscribed. This was bloody hilarious -- and so true.
This is 100% accurate...I love how people on Trade Servers think that Guillotine/Sandman is a F2P loadout when it's one of the harder combos to pull off consistently.
ending= greedy sharkers in a nutshell
Not sure if talking about outdated crates
or the Fancy Fedora which is the most common of the 9 about-to-retire hats (103,981).
thank you for pointing out how ridiculous trading is on tf2 most of the times. I always hate going on trade servers when I'm looking for the weapons I like.
Wheres the token crafting guy?
KoOkiEzRoCkz Who the fuck crafts tokens these days?
I mean okay, there are some people who want to have *everything* or at least *as many different things as possible*, but tokens?
"Yo, this page has Scout items, but *just* in case I made a token so everyone knows which class can wear the Bonk Helm if they check my inventory!"
NitestonePlays
Good for you.
:D
WOOHOO CONGRATS
LAUGHED SO HARD WHEN SPY WAS TRADING LOLOLOLOL
This accurately sums up trading in tf2. There will always be that one guy that doesn't know what each wep/hat is worth, or the guy trying to scam you with cheap weps, and that guy trying to get rid of his crates.
I remember when i first watched this video and couldn't understand how it was a problem.
Now that I actually own something of value, I can relate to this heavily.
Why do I see scout shakos in all of these trade servers in a nutshell videos?
Because it was a nice meme back then.
Oh I get it, he was Pyro-Shark! Eeeh?
Toenninga, using this music has invoked memories long relegated to the brink of my mind. Thank you for the nostalgic reminder.
Your comment about how people don't know how to handle their money and waste it on unusuals so brought my mind to Mattie. With his $36K backpack. And the spy trading with crates reminded me of myself, when the s. huntsman came out and I thought a key could buy anything. Of course... I did not get my huntsman.
music from Zelda
this isactuallyaccurate
I can relate to this so much, as far as to the fact that my cousin is the type that thinks he can convince anyone with his stupid crates and theyre not even salvaged
I get the same thing; I go on trade servers to sell hats/buy strange parts, and I keep getting trades from people who want my stranges or want to sell me a bunch of crappy weapons.
0:25 Painis , Painis , Painis , Painis
How do you remove trade hold/steam guard? its pissing me off since I already have the app
I'm not Steam Support, mate.
Try reading the Trading FAQ or something.
from what i've seen about 90% or more of the time i've spent in trade servers there's always hat, strange and vintage trading as well as that one person who's trying to sell crates, but barely any normal weapon trading.
Also there are people who own cars only to show them off instead of driving them.
Little did the poor Heavy know that the Spy wanted to trade 5 boxes for one Black Box. And they all contained Unusuals and one Mad Milk....
Still alot better than now when on every trading server there is just f2p's and some playing entirely competitive
Pro-tip
If you are not gonna trade hats but only unique weps, go scrap-banking.
But you wouldn't get a wep for a wep. Youd be paying 2 for 1.
Well i am reverse banking and i get 1 for 1.
if you are selling hats for 1 rec more than it is i was gonna sell a bonk helm for 1.66 (max price) then i found a guy and i thought: "hmmm, 2 ref for meh!" and i succsessfully sold it (one of the things he gave me was a football helm so i sold that for 1.33 accidently then i asked the guy for 1 extra rec soon after then by super luck he gave me a bucket of Mann co orange paint!)
Scrap.tf
I wasnt expecting actual game footage.
Fortunately I haven't seen this side of trading that much. But it still happens. The most recent incident of it was someone asking for my Cremator's Conscience.
sooo true
true story
Heck that was a good and simple gmod video as always :D
It's even better when you say exactly what you are accepting, and that you don't want anything else, and they still do this.
What was so special about the milk?
Heavy did not have it.
Trah Ding Blawk Boux Fourh Mahd Milk
Hey!
Thanks for the trade server gameplay!
This is brilliant, hands down.
Silly video no one trades on trade servers it's a conga fest for 7 year olds
Well I joined steam in mid January 2012
Jordan Berger
And this video is from May 2011.
Your point is... ?
That I joined mid January 2012?
Jordan Berger
That still doesn't give the Conga taunt time travelling abilities.
Tim Timsen Welp, that burnt...
I can agree, as far as I've seen, this is trading in a nutshell really
It is an achievement hat, from "alien swarm" the hat is called alien swarm parasite, and it is painted brown.
@OluapPlayer This video was about trading a weapon for another one if you already forgot that.
i always laugh when i see the spy trying to trade the crates with a creepy smile on his face
Oh my, this is a perfect way to put it.
this happens whenever im looking for a specific weapon to play the game with
Abolutely amazing and completely real, i love you
Makes you wonder why crates even drop AT ALL.
This happens to me as well, it seems people suffer from "I can't readosis" I type "Selling some hats and items for offers-send trade" and all people's minds proccess are the words "trade" and they have no reason why they send me a trade for.
You forget the 'overpay in items' and 'don't add me' part.
i loled so hard on the trade with the spy, this is exactly how it happens on trades
Also the sniper that traded last with the heavy reminds me of one of my friends on steam. He gave me a fishcake for a Huo Long Heater. And when I want a simple weapon from him. He wants hats for it.
I liked the part of the video where it was entertaining and also I liked the part where it stimulated the laughing part of my brain. Good day.
The box part..
OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS SO TRUE.
Jesus. It's so accurate.
It's like this in every game that involves trading.
nice music, love the shop theme
I died laughing when spy started adding crates to the trade.
I lost it when spy started adding boxes. NO! A good minute of laughter there lol
This is the sad, sad truth. Great video :D
Fits it 100%.
I get random tradeinvites every 5 minutes because of my hat and I'm not even on a trade server. Trading this, trading that.
Sometimes I wish they would just reset the game to 0:
No hats, no new weapons, no trading, nothing.
As the title says, I witness it, it doesn't happen to me, because I disabled trade invites from strangers.
@TheToenninga You really are a dedicated gamer!
And this is why i only trade within my community unless i want something real fast.
the kabuto and zatoichi match so well what a classic
Oh god, the Ingo's Theme fits Spy so freaking well
Damn you Zelda...can't stop nodding head and tapping foot
Oh my god, i love how accurate this is
