Thus, as long as you never give items to strangers for free, never click on suspicious links, and always know the true value of both your items and theirs, you have nothing to fear from scammers. This method is extremely ineffective now with the trade hold and additional verification. Once both parties have agreed upon a fair trade and they are happy, the scammer instead offers a similar item of less value, and hopes that the victim won't notice the difference.
Fortunately, this method is much harder to pull off now because extra verification is needed before the trade can be completed giving the victim an extra chance to notice. This is a type of impersonation scam.
Fake bots are accounts that send you offers for items in exchange for nothing, usually to 'deposit' them into a site, which after being deposited, cannot be withdrawn. The Scam usually goes like this:. This is another type of impersonation scam. Some traders use middlemen to be a mediator when trading highly valuable items to make sure the items go to the right people and prevent most types of scams.
However, middlemen can be impersonated and take the valuable items without giving it to the respective users. It will usually go down like this:. Phishing links are links to websites usually impersonating Steam or other well-known websites and require you to sign in to steal your account credentials, and hijack your account.
In some occasions simply accessing the website may download malware and do harm to your computer and potentially steal your personal information. Examining and not clicking on suspicious links will prevent you from getting affected by this type of scam.
The scammer will ask you to trade your items to a trusted friend of yours who the scammer will impersonate to decieve you to trade the items to the fake account.
It usually goes like this:. Once you have given your items to them, they block you. Also checking the scammer's inventory to see if it is private can help. The user pays the scammer for the crates unboxes them and gets nothing although there is the normal small chance they could get an expensive item and realizes that the scammer was lying when he said the crates were hacked and that they were just normal crates.
Sharking is a type of scam in which the scammer tells the victim that the scammer's item is worth far more than it actually is, or that the victim's item is worth far less than it actually is. This is largely preventable through referencing websites like backpack. The scammer will impersonate a Valve employee e.
Robin Walker, Drunken F00l , and will proceed to ask you to trade your items to them for various reasons. Note that Valve employees will never contact you personally for your items, even if they are glitched.
This scam is more recent than others, as in the Smissmas Update Valve updated Festivizers to be able to Festivize more weapons than previously including Stock weapons. The scammer sends you a trade offer proclaiming the item to be an original Festive weapon or Strange Festive, thus upping the item's worth. Example: you have a 12 Key item, you list it for that price, you get an offer for a Strange "Festive" Scattergun, when you hover over the item it shows as Festivized. Note that original Festive weapons have a different backpack icon than Festivized weapons, use this to distinguish whether it is a Original Festive or a Festivized one.
This scam involves a TF2 gambling website that the scammer supposedly runs. Some of these websites fake the entire process. If the TF2 player accepts, the scammer asks the player to advertise their item roulette website and promises to "fix" guarantee the TF2 player to win a round some roulette rounds in exchange for their help. Items can be scammed from a would-be victim in three ways:. Team Fortress 2 Store Page. Global Achievements. Global Leaderboards. This topic has been locked.
I have 10 bucks to spend on tf2 what should I buy? Last edited by dads belt ; 8 Sep, pm. Showing 1 - 15 of 32 comments. Buy a real game instead. I wanna be cute View Profile View Posts. I love to search out cheap spelled items on the Community Market, it's always fun for me. Stock View Profile View Posts. Helena View Profile View Posts. Originally posted by DerEchteGangster :.
This should be possible triple. You either get them from the maker at in-game Mann Co. Store, exchange them with different players or get them from outsider commercial centers.
The costs for those things might change in each kind of conveyance. To have the option to reason costs without help from anyone else, you need to learn two variables. One is the key-situated cost. The drop pace of a thing is changed over into the measure of keys you would theoretically have to use to get one such thing. The other is the metal assets, which additionally have a local area credited worth. Refined metal curtailed to ref has the ascribed worth of 1. Recovered metal curtailed to rec has the ascribed worth of 0.
Salvaged material has the ascribed worth of 0. This way a few things will be recorded as having a worth like 2. From the kinds of things referenced above, Weapons, Cosmetics and Taunts have certain extra credits that more often than not impact their worth.
Typical things are only that, standard loadout with dark names. Veritable things with green names are acquired by means of cross-game advancements or uncommon in-game occasions, and are accordingly shaded diversely to separate them from as a rule dropped one of a kind and typical things.
They likewise hold their shading in case they are strangified. You can drop peculiar things, however you can likewise utilize a strangifier to make them abnormal.
When a weapon is unusual, it monitors kills scored with its utilization. This, in contrast with CS StatTrak, makes them gain new prefixes with sequential levels came to by the quantity of kills. Likewise, non-weapon things can likewise be weird following different occasions all things considered, as Jarate following the measure of covered casualties or Invis Watch following the quantity of seconds you stay undetectable.
The most essential things in the pack are purple Unusual things, which give weapons and restorative things extra molecule impacts. They are an uncommon plunder from cases and are difficult to get in any case, making them the most extraordinary and normally generally looked for things in TF2. There are additionally blue-green Haunted things which can be plundered during yearly Halloween occasions, yet their quality and extraordinariness are like those of Normal and Unique things.
A quality grade we need to talk about independently is the Decorated quality. This is for weapons that have a corrective skin applied. In Team Fortress 2 the skins are distinguished all around and afterward applied to certain weapons. Adornments have their extraordinariness grades and wear levels. From the most well-known to the most uncommon the grades are Civilian, Freelance, Mercenary, Commando, Assassin, and Elite.
Non military personnel Grade completes are those found all the more regularly and Elite Grade completes are the most unprecedented ones. The wear level, thus, should sound natural to CSGO players, since they are fundamentally something very similar. As a rule the lower the buoy of a weapon skin, the more significant a skin is, yet you will discover special cases for that standard. Thing levels are a tasteful remainder of the early advancement of extra thing properties and, in spite of the fact that at first they were intended to clear a path for some game-affecting technician, they wound up being simply one more numeric property.
All things considered, they have no impact of significant worth while selling TF2 things for cash. When searching for evened out Team Fortress 2 things to sell, consider those with levels like 1, 42 or — who might have speculated — 69, as those are generally called out for additional. Assuming you need to assess things other than weapons and corrective ones, or then again if your math basically bombs you, there are sites like backpack.
