Tips for new TF2 Rip-off traders!

Tips for new TF2 Rip-off traders! The Holy Bible for TF2 Scammers!

• Always keep a good supply of seemingly useless items (I.E. ellis caps) to deter people who randomly trade you, or in some cases, a good deal.

• When someone asks for an offer, always start with your lower valued items/hats. Chances are you can detect an experienced trader by their response.

• If something seems too good to be true (I.E. someone asking for a menial value item while offering a much higher valued item) it probably is, and they only seek to scam/troll you.

• Never sell your stuff for less then you payed unless it was a stupid deal.

• If someone wants a specific hat then they will usually give alot for it.

• Consult with the server and friends before a trade so you never do stupid deals.

• If someone unboxes a unusual lowball them all day.

• When a new item comes out its worth 5x more then normal, slowly decreases until it averages out.

• Don't try to smuther and extend the deal to pretend like you are thinking before doing a good deal, the guy would probably come to his senses or will remember a friend of his wants that item in the meantime.

• [*]Don't befriends with the guy you are scamming(AKA adding him/he adds you to his friend list), he would probably want those things back, and it's kinda hard to explain that to him.

• Ellis caps are really worthy for some newbies, alot of them would offer real hats, also remind them it's an all class hat, and they would probably add alot more.

• If someone that looks intelligent offers you a hat nobody wants (Buckaroos,Rack,Prancers) start by saying "Hard to get rid of that X huh?" (X representing the hat), "Been there", the guy would probably understand, thinking that you know the value of things and would then "let you" get a good deal out of it-sounds stupid but it works.

• People that don't believe in tiers are goldmines

• Somethings that a non-trader won't ever get is why you would offer 1 refined for a hat. To them, 3 refined is a hat and that is the minimum they'd take.

• You can actually use the ingame inspect button (For me it's binded to i). Simply point your crosshairs on a teammates and you can see if their hat is vintage, etc. Useful if they're looking for a hat swap
• -Never tell the person that their item is rare or limited
   
• Don't trade an engineer while he is working on his shit mid game, he will probably decline any future trade reqests
   
• -Don't use in-game chat when you are trying to scam.
   
• -When they say your offer is tempting, and they are not trading it, always throw in a couple paints
   
• -There is no real server to scam on, don't sit in orange/mariokart all day expecting to get a max head for weapons
