JudgementalAlpha Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 So I just bought 10 naughty crates and was wondering should I buy 10 keys and unbox? It seems there is profit to be made with S.F. weapons and possibly unusual. I have never unboxed before and I'd thought I'd do it once for the fun. Yay or nay?

BlaqkAudio Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Don't forget about that 1 week untradable-ness that will happen once you unbox. I have no idea how hype will work this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punishment_Fatal Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Personally, it's all up to you. In the first hour, you should inbox and sell immediately else you'll be stuck in the pile of people trying to sell their hyped festive weapons.

Punishment_Fatal Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Don't forget about that 1 week untradable-ness that will happen once you unbox. Not just yet. I've heard it begins on Monday (unless you're referring to the untradable keys for a week). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactical Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 What is this 1 week untradeable thing? if you buy something from ingame store/scm in TF2, CS:GO and Dota 2, you cant trade it for a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudgementalAlpha Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Will that apply to uncrated things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqkAudio Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Not just yet. I've heard it begins on Monday (unless you're referring to the untradable keys for a week). It's already happening. (the untradable purchased items) And since Naughty/Nice keys will all originate from the in-game store, all will be untradable for a week. Resulting in untradable new items for an entire week. That's what I see will happen. Unless something changes between now and then, I'm not too sure about unboxing imo. Will that apply to uncrated things? Untradable keys = untradable items you get from using that untradable key. So yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunarDaze Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I unboxed 10 last year, 1 sf and no profits were made that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vrakos Anthrakir Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 if you were to use an untradeable key on a crate, would the thing you get from the crate be permanently untradeable or just untradeable for a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cottonbonbon Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 if you were to use an untradeable key on a crate, would the thing you get from the crate be permanently untradeable or just untradeable for a week It might do what happened with me today; bought a few money furnaces from the market, planning to put them into fabricators, but when I went to put them in, the fabricator didn't recognize them since they were untradeable until the 25th. The keys may do the same; when you go to unbox, they won't show them as an option to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comfortable Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Not worth it if Valve sticks with this 1 week untradable thing, not so much the risk however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Prof. Sugarcube♥ Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I unboxed 10 last year, 1 sf and no profits were made that year. I got 2 SF Force and SF GRU my GRU is pimped ooooooooooooooouttttttttttttt (And Lev 1) And my Force? Let's just say... within the first hour of the update (when I unboxed), people wanted it for 10 keys... I kept both coz Festive Weapons are beast and simply, I didn't want them to touch my Force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobmeister Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hype works far too weirdly.Unbox, then snap decision as to whether you sell or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai9001 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 The hype is stronkest in the first 2 or 3 days. I don't think it would be a good idea to uncrate this year. I am personally going to sit this one out to a degree and just uncrate to satisfy my want and not to profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Δ TiMoN Δ Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Not just yet. I've heard it begins on Monday (unless you're referring to the untradable keys for a week).

Kai9001 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 How much profit would I make off 10 keys ya think? Who knows, this event will the be the first event with EVERYTHING being untradeable for the first week. So either people who want something will uncrate or have to wait a week to get it. This may cause the hype to die, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpfox Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Unboxing isn't the goal for profit. However, if your lucky, THEN you've made profit. Otherwise, just do it for the TF2 Xmas hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♛ AlphaOmega ♛ Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I dont care much for the profits. I enjoy the festives and collecting them. Since i cashed out a bit, ive got 40 bucks set aside to uncrate. I keep the ones i like and sell the rest. Profit + getting what i want = :DDD PS whoever said that the update would drop friday, dont forget that in 2012, they dropped thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
