Hey there, after putting up a trade selling the tux, it was removed a few hours ago by samhuston. He removed it for the reason "troll wishlist". How can he tell me what an item will be worth while it is still in its untradeable state? I put vintage buds and HOUWR in the wishlist and he considered that a "troll wishlist". As i said before, there is no where that shows what these will be worth. They could be worth a scrap or they could be worth buds. The reason i put the HOUWR is because i have 50 tux's and lets say they DO go for a bud each then thats more than an HOUWR. So i believe its was very wrong a premature to close my trade

Your trade had one tux listed. As I said on your profile (making me wonder why in the world you felt it necessary to also make a discussion about this), if you got them all on one account and they were worth 6 keys each, go ahead and ask for a HOUWAR. They'll need to be worth .72 buds each to be able to list a vintage buds, which, again, will never happen. Let me go grab my explanation of why they will never have much value from the other thread, because you aparently need this explained to you.

I'll make this plain and simple because I'm tired of all of your squabbling. I'm an economics major, I know my shit here. Rarity =/= value. Buds are subtle yet stylish, and have a particle effect. They have a high value because they're an established currency as well. The tux is obtrusive, unattractive, and has no effect. It may be more scarce than the buds, but you can bet your ass demand will be much less scarce as well. Its value will never come near the buds, and likely never near the Bill's either. Value is a function of supply and demand, and it's dumb to go around shouting "THERES LESS TUX'S THAN THERE ARE BUDS, MY PRICE IS 12 BUDS, LOWBALLERS REPORTED".

QED.

I felt it necessary to make a discussion because i felt this was premature and not the correct thing to do. You can copy and past all the text you want trying to explain to me how they wont be worth buds and how dumb i am for asking for items, feel free. Once they become tradeable and people...well you know start trading them? Then a price will be set for them. How can you pull a price out of the top of your head on an item that cannot be gauged because it is not tradeable.

I have a good idea of the value because I've researched the matter thoroughly, instead of being a child and asking for absurdly expensive items and throwing a hissy fit when my troll trade is closed. I have seen no C/O above 6 keys, and I'm positive that that highball will be instantaneously accepted and the offerer will not be interested in making that trade. It was not premature nor was it the incorrect thing to do. You have one tux on your account, and we only allow the sale of items you own. Since there was no evidence that you indeed do own multiple tuxs, one can only assume you own one. One tux for a vintage buds is beyond a doubt trolling. 50 tuxs for a vintage buds is tolling as well, as they will never reach that value, and no owner of vintage buds would ever accept that. The action was not premature, it was the obvious correct step.

I'm not sure at what point i threw a hissy fit or i was vulgar or disrespectfull towards you. I havent called you anything or insulted you in any way, shape or form. I'm no longer going to be a part of this conversation because it seems to be getting out of hand, from a normal convo debating the price of an item to a disrespectull convo, and that is not something i would like to be involved in. You have your opionion on the value, i have mine. Good luck in future trading and i hope to see you around some time.

Never did I call you disrespectful or vulgar. Locking this thread as it's redundant to the other thread about its value.
