The team fortress 2 thread

It gets far worse when you get into the unusual hat market. Unusual hats are hats that have a special effect. For example, this is a Demoman's Glengarry Bonnet with Scorching Flames effect:

These you can only get from opening crates and you've only got a 1% chance of getting one of these hats. The trading power or sellability of these hats isnt based on their actual rarity though, so much as their popularity. So while you may have a hat thats only 1 of 2 in the entirety of the game, it can be a pain in the ass to get anyone to sell to cause the effect isnt popular.

Besides this, and this is the true nerdery of TF2 hats, these hats can sell for RIDICULOUS amounts of ACTUAL CASH. An example Link at sourceop.com

A Soldier's Chieftain's Challenge Hat with Sunbeams effect (one of the most, if not the most popular) with a Buyout of $330, which is average for a hat with Sunbeams.

I will sell any hat I get for real life money. I don't care about them at all, and will throw them in the street for money.

Unusuals are the only ones youre gonna get cash for. The first one i got i unboxed about a week ago and traded it off for a decent Medic one with whats considered a "mid tier" effect so it wouldnt sell for much, but I like it. The second one i uncrated a day later I couldve made fat cash on but made a bad trade to get my brother his own unusual. Now Im stuck with a Pyro hoodie that looks awesome, but no one wants cause of the effect.

And Im hot on the trail for your Bills Hat, Rek. People dont seem to want to give me what your scout hat is worth, but ill find someone.
