Good idea ! I second motion.

Why would they? I mean seriously I know unusuals have thier own ID's number and such but when it comes down to valve and dupes "in my opinion only" I think they take the lazy way out. I'm not the brightest bulb on the block but it seems to me that when replacing scammed items instead of just duping them they could somehow take out a specific unopened level number and scammed hats are then replaced with non duped. What I'm saying might not actually be possible but the entire process from valve duping to dupes on the market boils down to a just dont't give a #$^% approach.

Then of course though off topic the hat could be clean at the time of the sell and then duped later by valve because of a scammed bp. Time makes a difference as I unfortunately found out.

The v. luger scam, obvious and misused. Yes, I personally have been confronted numerous times with this and something should be done, I agree. Had one from here at outpost just the other day. Post has since been hidden.

Same as above I would have considered a gift myself but you don't care if otthes lose thier stuff you just want yours back, me me me..............man you got a lot of lessons yet to learn.

But to answer the question a hat is a hat. You sell it for what you desire and what the market will bear.

Yes if the crafted item said lets say crafted ny kleni, the you could hit that restore and it would wipe the crafted by off the item then it looks like a regular unique hat.

Open inventory in game. click on item hit the restore button below. Up pops a window asking to confirm. Same with removing parts, name tags, etc. What you want to be carefull with are buying into gifted items, people consider them trash, name of the gifter cannot be removed.

These creeps pop in and out of my chat by the hundreds each day. Everyone seems to know what I should sell for except me the person who's actually got the items for sell. Don't let it bother ya. I went through the same exp. long ago it's not worth fretting over trust me.

IMO, you better hurry the price of these things are dropping fast. And before long with more crates providing killstreak the drop will get faster. Same can be said for just about everything now.
