Uncraftable weapons: basic


AlwaysBorn

Recommended Posts

So here are a few things you should know about uncraftable weapons in my opinion.

 

Like most of you know already by now. You can still get uncraftable weapons. Only hats/miscs aren't obtainable anymore. If you buy a weapon from the mann. co store it's still uncraftable.1

 

So the reason why uncraftable weapons are supposely going up in price isn't because you can't obtain anymore. Just a change in peoples preferences. But in my opinion, they aren't really going up in price. Backpack.tf is just the first to start trying to price these correctly. Making people aware of it. But that last part is just a personal opinion.

 

About the value. Pretty much every uncraftable weapon can be sold for at least one craftable weapon. There are some people out there who collect them.2  You also have a lot of people, like everyone knows, who don't care if it's craftable or not and just buy it for a scrap anyway.

 

There are a few uncraftable weapons out there however which are worth less. These are the ones: force of nature, crit-a-cola, sandman, buff banner, equalizer, flare gun, axtinguisher, chargin targe, eyelander,  natascha, sandvich, frontier justice, gunslinger, kritzkrieg, ubersaw, huntsman, jarate, ambassador and dead ringer.

Now you are probably wondering why.

Well, you can find these weapons in the starter packs. These starter packs contain a nametag and you get two uncraftable weapons for free. Apparently alot of people buy these. Bringing alot of them on the market. 3

 

Like I said before, you can still sell these for 0.05-0.11 if you want, since alot of people just don't care or collect them.4 But the average price of these is lower then others in my opinion. Since you can buy these cheaper then others.5

It's probably going up cause key prices are... Which means every expensive thing is going to go down. :P

Bit late but I got uncraft Crit a cola, rocket jumper, cleaners carbine, battalion backup, darwins danger shield, baby face blaster and holiday punch to get rid of if interested?
It's just clutter in my backpack when I have craftable duplicates of them. That and theres no F2P people to give them away to in the servers I enter. :/
