Team Fortress 2: Trade servers in a nutshell

[@XG417]

lost it at the spy trying to trade his crates xD

[@electric4354]

you forgot those tryhard snipers killing everybody they see

[@T1mT1msen]

That map was pretty unprofitable for that.

[@Attoszhun]

I so much miss the old trade servers where people actually came to trade...

[@Dobonhonkero]

Yep, instead of trading people what is available for trade, they want something else that I'm NOT trading. -_-

[@leafblade2258]

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.

[@MetaGrave]

I'd say poor Hoovy, but he's got earbuds and a Hat of Undeniable Wealth and Respect. He ain't poor!

[@RudeReapxr]

Lol XD Spy killed me with his offer, And heavy's NO seemed funny to me

[@OMalleyTheMaggot]

I hate this shit. If I'm *wearing* a hat, chances are I don't want to fucking sell it.

[@SuperYente]

Spy added: Mann Co. Supply Crate Spy added: Mann Co. Supply Crate Spy added: Mann Co. Supply Crate Heavy: NO!!!! Trade got canceled

[@alfrazalam101]

-crate- -crate- -crate- -crate-

[@10inchminsh90]

Do people actually act like that spy and just offer crates?

[@NinjaStar531]

***** As a F2P I always did that. Thank god I upgraded...

[@NinjaStar531]

codgamer18877 You can, but you get untradeable items, I used crates that people gave to me for free

[@KingVirus68]

Yep. One of my friends on Steam is a kid, and he offers me crates every now and then.

[@10inchminsh90]

General Snuggles lol

[@Poottisman]

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

[@JCDenton2000]

I hate when people random trade me for my unusual I'm wearing. Just cuz Im wearing it, doesn't mean its for sale...

[@endy9036]

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

[@Bluestb2100]

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

[@SaudDehan]

Lol i cant choose one of them Atleast theres no unusual bills hat...

[@HabitualGaming]

2. id like to see him try

[@Bluestb2100]

*hacks account*

[@uni3448]

3. depends what hat. and only for a shitty salvage.

[@FlammenRund]

Saud Dehan There is at least one unusual bill's hat.

[@terencestark8044]

You forgot about the 'friendlys' whining for being killed.

[@blupolo2389]

Because some people want to play the game different way and be just wierd then assholes destroy it.

[@ubermedic9979]

Well most people that kill friendlys are f2p on trade servers

[@Jake-rr9qr]

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

[@pcslash5916]

jake riley-cross Key weapons an f2p uses: Machina BrassBeast Default Flame Thrower Natascha

[@Jake-rr9qr]

PcSlash and they dont use that

[@TheTriforceCrusader]

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!

[@riilhiiro]

So true. These people fucking piss me off.

[@TheTriforceCrusader]

Dude, if I'm holding it, wearing it, or have it equipped, it's probably not for sale. Ya know???

[@Grooby__]

1:46 Best Part

[@RudeReapxr]

Crate overload XD

[@Neon_Texan]

Zaemon Daniels I was once that person.

[@K4NDY_K4INA]

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

[@scapegoat4]

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.

[@EGntertainment]

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

[@frankshang8718]

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...

[@oakcutter1313]

don't forget to pay the 'massive unusual overpay' if you want 1on1...

[@pcslash5916]

Frank Shang Hey frank, What anti-virus software? o.O

[@sscamc]

Because I click on every random link people send me in tf2.

[@lucastakeji1845]

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.

[@T1mT1msen]

*stfu and gib me ur stuff or i report u!*

[@iblobtouch]

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.

[@TioMegamanX]

So the items are set when you get the crate? I thought the item was set at random when you opened it.

[@iblobtouch]

VanFanel1980mx It lists the items you can get on it :3

[@TioMegamanX]

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.

[@Roadkilledhorse]

the mann co crate spy is me

[@T1mT1msen]

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.

[@ToaKoran]

"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..

[@just4skyrim]

itll get you almost three keys... keys are 7.33 - 7.66

[@ToaKoran]

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.

[@dylanpage7266]

nowdays that vintage rift axe price would be a huge scam

[@oneworldcommunity117]

now its 9.33

[@ToaKoran]

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.

[@95wave43]

"trading vintage rift ax for 20 REF or 10 keys" man times have changed

[@LunaticWithALicense]

When the spy was loading all his crates into the trade I laughed my ass off xD

[@HeroWolfMod]

Love how the heavy was quiet before the spy added the 3rd box, then he shouted "NO!"

[@THEMO918]

The concept of spy paying with crates alone to get buds or the HOUWAR is hilarious.

[@zackthomas6033]

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.

[@NomoregoodnamesD8]

*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.

[@KoOkiEzRoCkz]

Wheres the token crafting guy?

[@T1mT1msen]

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!"

[@T1mT1msen]

NitestonePlays Good for you.

[@nitestoneplays9251]

:D

[@KoOkiEzRoCkz]

WOOHOO CONGRATS

[@treesarehackers3488]

After 3 years, this is still pretty accurate

[@PasitherusGames]

I feel bad for spy

[@raphaelbret1952]

This is exactly how it works

[@Bakagiraffes]

I love how the heavy was trading since it's always almost true.

[@DoktorVicTim]

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....

[@gingergingerginger1]

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).

[@brettcarlson2030]

Why do I see scout shakos in all of these trade servers in a nutshell videos?

[@T1mT1msen]

Because it was a nice meme back then.

[@Raiidude]

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

[@brawlerdude555]

TF2Outpost in a nutshell

[@slender1326]

1:23 when my brother farts and it smells very very bad

[@droque45]

I have had enough emotional and physical pain to understand this. Good Video.

[@Blamcomac]

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.

[@joeclay9683]

ending= greedy sharkers in a nutshell

[@T1mT1msen]

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).

[@Based_Tobias_]

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.

[@Frieza102]

I have been using KZbin 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.

[@suzuki3205]

LAUGHED SO HARD WHEN SPY WAS TRADING LOLOLOLOL

[@bryguy13514]

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

[@ryanallen1328]

Oh I get it, he was Pyro-Shark! Eeeh?

[@NerdyStalkerGeek]

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.

[@isaacrodley5356]

music from Zelda

[@trdl23]

By the way, fave'd and subscribed. This was bloody hilarious -- and so true.

[@kbdbr3335]

0:25 Painis , Painis , Painis , Painis

[@T1mT1msen]

@SgtMarcusEagle I already have all weapons, this was just an example.

[@AlaniLTD]

Still alot better than now when on every trading server there is just f2p's and some playing entirely competitive

[@JakesFavorites]

Now I can just watch this instead of idle for six hours on a trade server and I get the same experience! Thanks Tim.

[@thecursor123]

Pro-tip If you are not gonna trade hats but only unique weps, go scrap-banking.

[@HanMew]

But you wouldn't get a wep for a wep. Youd be paying 2 for 1.

[@thecursor123]

Well i am reverse banking and i get 1 for 1.

[@Jake-rr9qr]

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!)

[@gaabrrable]

Scrap.tf

[@KingVirus68]

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.

[@king57339]

Trah Ding Blawk Boux Fourh Mahd Milk

[@Maxjk0]

this happens whenever im looking for a specific weapon to play the game with

[@hotrodthe1]

What was so special about the milk?

[@T1mT1msen]

Heavy did not have it.

[@trainknut]

Sometimes I feel like the spy, then I unbox a hat and i feel like heavy.

[@Mityr]

this isactuallyaccurate

[@codefreak8]

Every time I try to sell my shit, people either trade me trying to sell THEIR shit, or they try to buy 40+ of my weapons for a hat, because some people probably fall for that.

[@e.k4320]

sooo true

[@Invisifly2]

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.

[@joxxpertlokendero9740]

true story

[@ThehungryZombie1]

i always laugh when i see the spy trying to trade the crates with a creepy smile on his face

[@fireflyhighh]

Silly video no one trades on trade servers it's a conga fest for 7 year olds

[@fireflyhighh]

Well I joined steam in mid January 2012

[@T1mT1msen]

Jordan Berger And this video is from May 2011. Your point is... ?

[@fireflyhighh]

That I joined mid January 2012?

[@T1mT1msen]

Jordan Berger That still doesn't give the Conga taunt time travelling abilities.

[@luizausiza]

Tim Timsen Welp, that burnt...

[@SadButter]

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.

[@The_SilverMane]

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.

[@Davtwan]

This is why I only have three trading servers on my favorites list. They're the only ones that GO anywhere. (The stuff that happens in this video still happen. It's just that the people are much easier to deal with, and things get done a lot faster.) Extra hint: Never get on a trading server with a backpack mod and very patient players unless you want to be stalked forever.

[@Mazryonh]

0:22 - What is the song used for the Soldier's ringtone on his "shell-phone"?

[@Axyo0]

google: "tf2 painis cupcake"

[@Mazryonh]

Alex Prexo I meant the name of the song, not the internet meme that goes after it.

[@T1mT1msen]

Gay Bar - Electric Six

[@Mazryonh]

Tim Timsen Thanks for the info. I knew it wasn't a Zelda-related tune.

[@T1mT1msen]

@mdalsted That was a conundrum, right?

[@alexpreface]

Weird, your forgetting the kids who mic spam on these servers, and the trolls and or trolldiers that run around instantly killing people out of no where and the unusual wearing players sitting in spawn switching hats with each other for the entire period of the video, with a sandwich, holiday punch, heavy running in the middle with mic spammers using music and or sound bytes re-enacting GayPeniz

[@T1mT1msen]

@HESHRocketWarhead The requests for it have stopped since I got the HOUWAR. Now people want that instead. I already got offers like 2,500 dollars or 50 hats or 20 games of my choice. Too bad that I want to keep it. It always reminds me of the game Octopus (Game & Watch). Ahh, good times...

[@broosbit]

It is an achievement hat, from "alien swarm" the hat is called alien swarm parasite, and it is painted brown.

[@T1mT1msen]

@OluapPlayer This video was about trading a weapon for another one if you already forgot that.

[@T1mT1msen]

@CriticalQuit I always do 1:1 trades. People who want more are greedy asses, like that guy with over 40 unusual hats. I tried to trade my Rubberglove for his level 55 one, he wanted either an additional hat or 3 refined metal with it. If you still need a Killer's Kabuto and if I ever find or get one, I'll let you know.

[@SpinoRexzillaEN25]

This always happens... I was selling REF for a Cremators conscience and a person invited me to a trade and then he said in chat " What is that" I asked him "What? The Refined?" And then he said " OMG KID THE CREMATORS CONSCIENCE" I quit the trade after I said " Why did you trade me to ask me what the item was..." It's hard to find a item without so many other trades for other items you have or someone asking what it is, OR asking for alot more... After a long time SOMEONE finally got me it, it took me hours of useless trades

[@T1mT1msen]

@CarnivoreAJ I have 50 Steam friends (maybe I just removed one or added one from tf2items). But when I asked if someone has a spare Powerjack, nobody had one. Putting my dupes onto tf2items for trading didn't get me any results. And I don't think that I'm the only person with that kind of "problem". That's why there are trading servers.

[@OfficialDeathdog]

I died laughing when spy started adding crates to the trade.

[@MettanAtem]

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.

[@CasualGuy60]

@Swedexplosion Well, Valve said that the crate contents can only be determined when you are about to open the crate,so its random.

[@hlpbgh]

Toenninga, using this music has invoked memories long relegated to the brink of my mind. Thank you for the nostalgic reminder.

[@OluapPlayer]

@TheToenninga That's not a problem, I don't need to look for hats. seewhatididthere?

[@lostandlast2829]

i loled so hard on the trade with the spy, this is exactly how it happens on trades

[@iseethatyouaretakingtimeou4405]

This is exactly what happens when I play on a valve server while wearing my team spirit bills hat.

[@thehuggerofzombies]

1:45 has got the be the funniest thing I've seen in ages.

[@T1mT1msen]

@Waluweegee I might exaggerate a little, but almost everyone who sees me walking around with it on the server asks if I'm trading it.

[@deimos9358]

This happens to me everyday like i sell 3 items worth 3 buds and somone puts a crate

[@SuGaRxxRuSh1]

Song is the Merchant song from Zelda : Ocarina of time. I think.

[@randairp]

That is correct.

[@SuGaRxxRuSh1]

It's the Shop Theme! Ahahah! It sure rang a big ass bell in my brain.

[@orbskcorb1]

I can relate to this, whenever I want to trade a weapon for a scrap or something, everyone tries to get me to buy there hats, or don't like what I give them, even though I clearly stated it in the chat.

[@Spycrab777]

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.

[@WootmansayWOOT]

Jesus. It's so accurate. It's like this in every game that involves trading.

[@T1mT1msen]

As the title says, I witness it, it doesn't happen to me, because I disabled trade invites from strangers.

[@AtillaTheFun1337]

People like the sniper and pyro constitute 87% of trade servers in my experience... The worst part is when they decline a 3 hat for one deal.

[@Waluweegee]

@TheToenninga I seem to remember you making a video of unboxing an U. Hallmark with Circling Hearts and pretending to delete it with Photoshop; was that entire video just a shop, or did you actually unbox it?

[@T1mT1msen]

@Muskelman19 Are you talking about TF3? I heard you get a TF2 hat for prepurchasing it.

[@bxinger]

I really need to know this, what's the song the heavy with the orange swarm parasite is listening to called?
