A forum I was on back when the buds happened had a resident macfag that logged into everyone's accounts and gave like 30 of us free earbuds. I kinda regret deleting/giving away literally everything in my inventory (besides the hachimaki) when I stopped playing in 2013 because I eventually came back to the game years and years later and it blows that I can't get shit like the poker night items back
man I don't remember. I think I was just bitter about the state of the community (or at least the people I hung around back then) and wanted a clean break. I know it's retarded but I'm not gonna waste my time justifying why I did retarded things a decade ago.
This was years ago when people actually gave a shit about them. No idea what they go for now, but it bought me some good games at the the steam sales over the years.
Yes anon, see there was a time before valve fucked up the game beyond repair where you could trade keys for 2.50 refs and stuff like the earbuds or bill hats where quite expensive, to the point that they were used as currency for higher tier items like series 1 and 2 unusuals....and then some rich furfag played a prank on aprils fools by telling the autismos on backpack,tf that he and its rich furfag group will stop accepting buds and bill hat as currency wich lead them on a mental breakdown that ended up imploding the economy
It was three ref you homosexual, same as for a hat before the concept of a "craft hat" was a twinkle in a trading israelite's eye.
Don't lecture me about the ancient writings I was there when they were written.
it was 2.33 actually, 3 ref was when the economy started to go down then got stuck for a while at 8 ref and imploded quickly into the 20-40 ref territory after jungle inferno...or that what i remember since i completely retired from the trading bullshit in 2014
>8 ref
It was 11-12 up from 3 when they hiked up the price for the recolored series 2 effects with the Very Scary Halloween Update (Which you couldn't even begin to tell me what of substance was added in that update without looking it up) which began the retarded meme of >There's literally infinite metal so keys are actually worth 4 trillion refined now 🙂
I was fucking there when they hiked the prices you dumb animal. Stop pretending to know about what you're talking about when you don't.
You fucking subhuman, if even at ANY point buds went for hundreds of dollars VINTAGE BUDS, an actual vanity item people sought out would have been literally fucking BURNING TEAM CAPTAIN tier priced.
Fuck you, I hope every fucking drop you get this week is a crate
3 weeks ago

i unironically get a crate everytime i boot up the game...except when they are new wich pisses me off since i can go and play for hours when a new update drops and get jackshit yet a week later im swimming in the fucking things, each worth a cent.
I remember going over to my friend's house and installing steam and TF2 on his mac mini to get the earbuds. Took half an hour just to get the game to launch to the main menu to get the buds. Holy fuck the amount of messages I would get from people in game begging for a trade. Still got em equipped on all my classes :^)
You literally could have come into this thread just going >Hehe nice I got $15-20 for installing tf2 on a mac I bought a game xD
Perfectly fine. Entirely believable, literally TENS OF THOUSANDS of stories just like that
But no you wandered in here claiming you got upwards of 10x more than some people paid for THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER, ALL-CLASS, UNUSUAL FUCKING HATS back then.
Fuck you.
Scamming appletards to sell the earbuds for X10 the price was great. I won't apologize. If you're rich enough to buy fancy apple crap consider yourself a target.
>buds >not the halo
I remember buying the game like the week of that event and seeing all the server-side mods that replaced it with a big red "homosexual" was certainly something

I understand cashing out, but why delete the untradable stuff?

>setup a vm for this
>used shitbuntu
it was worth it i guess?
Ah yes the mac update, that was when they started fucking with the menu wasn't it?
Well, it's at least appropriate they made them the blue team, since all the Meet The ___ trailers established that the BLUs are the losers.
Just like real life
Coming through peasant
Only people with taste in games got this rare, big ticket item
Aren't those only $50 these days?
>listening with the charge cable in
i had to turn off trade chat when i wore mine , they only cost me a 1300 no-upgradable pc
>Got mine by signing into a random Mac and redeeming it when it went live
>Sold if for a couple $100 not too long after
Thanks for the filthy slav money, Aleksy
>Earbuds
>Going for multiple hundreds of dollars

Anon, you're still cool even if you only got like $12 for a pair of virtual headphones.
It's alright you don't need to lie.

Fuck you.
For me it's the Ellis' Cap and Frying Pan. I have no other items equipped.
Ellis' cap is such a good hat.
I prefer it to the Bill's Hat, since I like Ellis as a character more than Bill.
"Well that was idiotic, off to hang myself.
