Erkki Posted December 15, 2012 Some random guy just asked for some of my TF2 items and offered Dota 2 in return. I gave him the Lugermorph and Big Kill (I think it was called) and some hat. Is this trading a thing now? Did he want these for selling on the market? Did I get duped? PS. I'll trade Dota 2 for anything on my wishlist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joewintergreen Posted December 15, 2012 I've made like $30 through random internet guys wanting items I somehow acquired in TF2 without having played it in years. People paying me real money for things on the internet that are worth nothing to me! TF2 is great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this trading a thing now? Did he want these for selling on the market? Did I get duped? PS. I'll trade Dota 2 for anything on my wishlist. Yep, I think that fella got a pretty decent deal, to be honest. Here's more information: How much are my TF2 items worth? I recently traded those two items, plus Max's head, for Super Street Fighter IV and The Walking Dead. I probably could have gotten more, in hindsight.

Erkki Posted December 15, 2012 He asked for Max's head too but I refused. Are the Sam & Max things particularly sought after for some reason? Quote from that link you posted: "As far as monetary value, at a time Max was worth $100+. But those days are long gone. Best of luck." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote from that link you posted: "As far as monetary value, at a time Max was worth $100+. But those days are long gone. Best of luck." Yep, if you pre-ordered Season 3 of Sam & Max you got those three items... and that was the only way you could get them. It's not just that they're rare, it's that they're pretty damned cool, too. I honestly think that someone trading all three could get up to $100 worth of stuff in return. I posted my three items on http://www.tf2outpost.com/ and had sold them within the hour.

Erkki Posted December 15, 2012 I guess I didn't do too bad then, getting a 27€ game for 2 of thos items (plus a hat which I don't even remember what it was). Now I'm waiting till Max's Head goes up to 1M USD and I'm rich! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted December 15, 2012 PS when I go to the Market and try to sell an item it says that I have nothing in my inventory. is that normal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orv Posted December 15, 2012 I sold Max's Head for $120 worth of games. People are fucking insane about hats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erkki Posted December 15, 2012 Which market? The Steam Community Market Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenetic Pony Posted December 15, 2012 I need to do this, I still have Bill's Hat, one of the rarest of all hats last time I looked. Maybe I can get pre-orders of Bioshock Infinite or something for all the hat's I've collected... Edit- I can't even find Bill's hat on there! Not that I can find much on there... but how much is this thing worth I wonder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted December 15, 2012 What a horrible addition to steam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted December 16, 2012 I was given a copy of Dota 2 and I never even thought of trading it, I have no idea of how to play it and kinda regret keeping it. Does this mean people will start annoying us for out TF2 items even more? I got some only because they came with other Steam games and I still get kids asking for them.

ThunderPeel2001 Posted December 16, 2012 It's worth noting that if you pre-ordered Sam and Max season from TellTale, you have to enter your code on their website to get your TF2 items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erkki Posted December 16, 2012 So theoretically should I be able to sell these things on the Steam Community Market or should I go to a third party site? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted December 16, 2012 I have no idea. As I said, I sold mine within 60 mins on TF2Outpost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted December 17, 2012 Wait, so I preordered Sam and Max Season 3 and I don't think I've redeemed any codes. How do I do this and make $100? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

syntheticgerbil Posted December 17, 2012 Thank you TP! Can I get real monies from this if I ask someone to send it via Paypal or do you just trade for Steam games? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted December 17, 2012 I did it and I don't see that hat in my inventory, I know I traded with some guy, but I doubt I would have given him the hat... (I really hope I didn't, I like Max, why would I give it away?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted December 17, 2012 Thank you TP! Can I get real monies from this if I ask someone to send it via Paypal or do you just trade for Steam games? You can ask for money but, as I say, I've only done it once myself, so I don't know how that works. It seemed easier to ask for games. Once I put them up on TF2Outpost I got a few friend requests in Steam. They turned into an online chat, and then we traded using Steam's system. That was it.

Erkki Posted December 22, 2012 Wow, I actually got Far Cry 3, Rage, Monkey Island SE Bundle, Ben There Dan That Bundle for my Max Head! I could have gotten more money's worth (Far Cry 3 + Hitman Absolution + Assassin's Creed 3) but I wasn't that interested in the latter 2 and it would have been keys for those games which are not as safe to trade as actual inventory items. PS. Thanks TunderPeel for the TF2Outpost suggestion. Took less than 24h from posting it to the trade happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
