When I'm trading unusuals that's how I do business.

Something that should be emulated more in the community.

I've had people hold hats for me for various amount of time while I either converted cash to buds or converted 40 hours a week into cash. Hell, Longfellow has been holding something for me for weeks now while I did some of that time-to-money conversion. It's good business (good way to get loyal customers and customers that point their friends to you first), the right attitude to have in an environment free of jerks (similar to my suggestion in the Shark Tag poll) and generally just the right thing to do.

I always figured that stuff was made through packet injecting like in ragnarok and everquest.

There was the duping scandal last fall where things were actually duplicated, in a similar fashion, but Valve left the keys in the car so to speak for the dupers to do it themselves without coding/decoding net hashes/downloading something (it was a feature). I'm not sure if the steam cloud/item servers are susceptible to similar manual attacks, but guessing with DF on the case, probably not.
