I know right?
The whole trading community is irrational so I try to get out of it as fast as possible. I mean why the fuck would you trade a decent unusual for some vintage alien swarm parasite? You may brag with it to your trader butt buddies but ingame you will look like an f2p. I find it disgusting how people downvalue unusuals nowadays and put promos on a pedestal. Yeah unusuals can be unboxed any time but there are a shitload of hats and effect combinations out there so while the number of total unusuals grows fast the number of certain ones grows pretty slowly. The interesting thing is that most of those oddities are being sharked or sold by russians who inflate their price like crazy. There are 1 of 1 halloween unusuals out there no one really cares about because they're ugly. But so are the rare vintages. Why someone would pay 28 the times an item is worth just for blue text is beyond me.
