[TF2] The Legend of the Duped Shovel

hey guys im buying duped shovels send me a trade offer
Here's a bit of context: A "duped" item in TF2 is an item that has been duplicated via a glitch. Generally, a duped item will have a much lower value than its original counterpart. The idea behind a "duped shovel" is that it'd theoretically be the least desirable item in the entire game. After all, who would use the stock shovel, much less one that was duped?
My friend Orna thought this was funny, and wanted to buy one just for the sake of having one. However, when he started asking around on a trade server, the admins were giving him a hard time. As they said, "nobody would actually sell you a duped shovel." Hearing this, my friends and I decided to join the server and have a little fun.

[@9minty]

Formal greetings, users of a virtual game being the second installment of the Team Fortress franchise, of whom are around the quantity of twenty, of whom are virtually located in a community server dedicated to online virtual item trading, I am inquiring if it is possible for me to acquire a virtual item which is an implement generally utilized to manually entrench soil and dirt, but is instead used to physically harm virtual opponents. However, said virtual implement used to manually excavate possesses the property of being an identical duplicated version of its standard quality. I am also vocalizing the fact that I am willing to pay a considerably higher price of said item in order to obtain it into my virtual inventory. I express high amounts of gratitude for listening to my request!

[@swafty5813]

Perfection. One notation of improvement I would have indeed added if I were you was to use synonyms to "virtual". As used in your comment on KZbin.com I am replying to currently. I suggest for alike words of virtual be programmed, fictional, asset based, etc. Thank you for reading my reply to your comment on current hip website trend.

I have never played TF2 and I have no idea what’s going on.

[@zap3231]

Basically one of the classes is the Soldier and his default melee weapon is a shovel. The intro says the rest. And he wants a strange duped shovel (a strange means it's rarer and counts your kills, hence the question "do you want a killstreak on it" in the beginning when SoundSmith offered a duped shovel himself) OrnaBug was trying to buy a duped shovel from people on a trade server with keys (Keys for boxes and metal made by smelting weapons are the two main currencies, with keys being more valuable). However trade servers are usually for cosmetics and unusual effects (unusual effects are basically particle effects and shit you can put on hats, which are the most valuable items in the game's economy).
