Edge Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 We have all been there at one time or another... Browsing through the bots and their endless inventories of discarded weapons craft hats and common items. The something shiny catches your eye and you sit on the edge of your chair as you click the quick by button as fast as humanly possible hoping no one will beat you to it. Then you wait through the que hoping steam doesn't crash or a meteor falls through your living room.... And then finally the trade goes through and you yell and scream and generally make a fool of yourself in celebration. I want you to share those moments on this thread so we can all enjoy the stupidity of the person who traded a strange or festive weapon for a unique weapon on this fantastic website. Link to comment

The Green Plumber of Fanciness Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I even saw a Graybanns yesterday, but Steam let me down with that troubleshooting message. Link to comment
IceFox Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I even saw a Graybanns yesterday, but Steam let me down with that troubleshooting message. Awww. That sucks. Link to comment
3xlneet Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I even saw a Graybanns yesterday, but Steam let me down with that troubleshooting message. Still better than seeing an unusual in the hat bots. Link to comment
GM-Cat Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Still better than seeing an unusual in the hat bots. Yes, and now think on my idea (==> http://forum.scrap.tf/index.php?/topic/54-bounties-secure-no-risk-fair-for-scraptf-and-trader/ ) People can set an automated buy price for special hats. The highest price will win. The seller is lucky, the buyer is lucky --- and full bot-automated with 10% fee for scrap.tf Higher selling / buying prices ==> more fee and this is perfect to maybe grow more cool stuff Link to comment
DanyellDayLoois Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 In the time that Bread Boxes could be crafted, there were some better tier hats in the hat bots, like ones worth 1.66, and I would buy them a lot cheaper and sell them on trading websites for full price. Individually, it wasn't much of a profit, but considering how often this popped up, I got a good bit of profit altogether. Link to comment

Franknol Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Ok guys this is to good to keep to myself... Someone sold a festive specialized killstreak team shine minigun... TO A SCRAP BANK BOT So now I have gotten a 1.5 key weapon for uh .05 scrap... I am floored! (also if that was you what were you thinking?) How did you find it? You browse the bots item by item or you just search for it? Link to comment
IceFox Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Yeah, it has. Not a lot but I can tell you that they are grabbed at the speed of light, lucky users are lucky. Some of them have bots themselves that look through scrap.tf bots for that sort of thing. Link to comment
3xlneet Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Some of them have bots themselves that look through scrap.tf bots for that sort of thing. We know about the users that have automated bots so they can get the expensive things easily, we even moderated and banned them for weeks once. I don't know is something is done about them now but if we catch someone they/he get(s) banned for sure. Link to comment
