You've already missed out on it even if you have the right stuff

you have to remember
there are autists that invested THOUSANDS of dollars into these pixels
and they just dropped from 50 grand to 5 bucks overnight while the normal players who had hundreds of crates that they've accumulated over the years that normally go for 3 cents shot up to $10+ a pop

I just never cared to get into trading. It was such a fucking pain in the ass. I consider trading to be just as much of a pain in the ass as crypto

Nope you missed out on thousands of dollars already.

>tradefags handed me 12 bucks in exchange for crates
>they're never getting it back

from which game? i have tf2 crates and cs crates

He traded, he didn't use money. He probably got an assfucking in return.

specific crates were bugged to drop unusuals 100% of the time dropping the prices of unusuals massively, people made and lost loads of money from this

tf2 crates
CS is safe for now

mine still look at 0,03 market value tho

>no one in friend group has gotten an unusual despite all playing for similar amount of time and me and him having 1600+ hours
>say nothing
>immediately sell for $69
>buy more vidya
All in all outside of my initial $20 purchase of TF2, I probably brought net digital spending down to $40 - 50 by now
Will never compare to actually profiting from PUBG pre-chink market flood though, treated myself to some nice vidya then too

only a couple of the crates were glitched

It's a lot worse than people think. A group of Russians figured it out way before anyone else they are hoarding a shit load of unusuals. There's no going back unless Valve releases a new tier of unique gear but it will piss off everyone.

I was never a tradefag I dealt in RAFFLING

I understand that, I was answering the question as to why some crates are still cheap. Only a few series of crates were the ones giving out unusuals, but there were a lot of those crates

Tradefags are cancer, glad valve purged them from dota.

>Have tons of cases
>Unusual glitch comes out
>Go on trade server
>Scam some gullible /biz/ fag buying into the whole new tf2 unusual shit meme

Sucks being a slowpoke, but hey enjoy the 12 bucks.

>brits got a 5 pound coupon
Fuckers. They still work after the event? Or did you buy the games then and just "made back" some of the money?

Only a tradefags in the range of promotional items/stranges but that was like back in 2014

I remember what that CSGO tradefag anheroed in traffic.
Hope you see lots of suicides now.
>some people literally lpst tens of thousans of dollars
feels good not being an idiot

Give me a quick rundown on what's going on with the steam marketplace.

>Only gave trading a shot recently
>Put all my inventory's worth into good looking hats I want and a BMOC instead of unusuals

You can use them after the event, they dont expire. That sale was so fucking broke though, I spent maybe £30 on some indie games and got a 47K point cap and my friend spent £100 and he only got a 23K cap.

Explain. Why did he lost that much gabebux?

LOL

I like how the garbage rummaging neets think they can make fun of "traderfags" when they themselves are traderfags, just broke and poor.
The need to feel like you are better when you are all losers just shows that you are a base animal that is clueless. You waste the same amount of time lol.

>people actually waste hundreds of dollars on a single video game

pathetic

Really?

>he killed himself after 35 days of being banned
source

Surely this will squeeze some news out of them about future development, right?

Yeah.
He used to own some CSGO roulette/trade website and his account got trade banned.
He lost well over $100k.

no source
i just assume so because of the last online date and the time banned

>my suicide was an INTENTIONAL decision
>I'm glad I'm killing myself

Big if true.

I missed out big time on this but I hope everyone who jumped on the opportunity made it big in profit.

Seething hat investor.

this poster was BTFO by his bad investments

>sold some random tf2 shit I got a decade ago for $2.50 to go towards Cyberpunk.
based and tradepilled.

To those suckers that went back to the dead game and earned some cash, now's your chance to use these virtual moneyz to buy VR for cheap.

Imagine if this happened to CSGO. The entire esports scene would practically evaporate

it's beautiful to see tradefags commiting seppuku
