Fixed as in pre-determined by valve to not let any burning TC get unboxed.

The next burning tc will be sharked. Like all the burning kes that have been unboxed.

Most of the hats (atleast the good ones) are sharked/paid a pittance. Like the burning cannonball on outpost just now. Seller claims his friend gave it to him. Seems legit.

Opened 100 crates the other weekend. Got a ghosts yellow belt on the 5th and should have stopped there. only the second unusual I've gotten in a total of over 350 crates (the first being N&B fed fedora).

I think the friend who he claimed gave it to him commented on the trade once...it might actually be legit.

I cant really read brazillian or whatever there is but anyone can claim they unboxed it without proof.

Did 15-20 yesterday. Best I got was some dapper's and whoopees. Least they were craft hats. I'll hold onto the salmon until it gets valuable.

It is a shame when you think you'll unbox big and fall hard. Then weeks later you forget how bad it felt and try again.

My unboxes seem to be bitter sweet. I unboxed 2 unusuals in ~50 crates (both of them are high tier hats with low tier effects, but I ended up trading one). Whenever I *don't* unbox an unusual, it ends up being an extremely shitty strange (i.e Strange Chargin' Targe, Strange Scotsman's Skullcutter).

Well that's kind of the point, its luck, i would suggest trading those keys for buds and getting an unusual that way, the odds of getting an unusual is 1% as you know, the odds of getting one that is a high/god tier hat is around 0.07, and the chance of getting a good effect on that high/god tier hat is around 0.01.
People often say that even getting a nuts 'n' bolts effect is lucky, i dont think so, the amount of time and energy you have to spend on selling that thing is just too damn high.
