Duped, non-duped


Wellesley12

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

In 1-2 months, I will purchase my first unusual (Steaming Cosa Nostra Cap 15-18 keys)

 

I saw some people were selling duped hats and others clean hats. Here are my questions:

 

1. How can I identify if the hat is duped or not.

2. Does a duped hat reduce its price?

3. If (Q2) yes, how much is the difference. Is there a percentage (like 20%) off of the regular price?

 

Thank you!

Duped doesn't matter on non god tier (10+ bud) unusuals. Check the items history on backpack.tf and/or tf2items.com

Here's an example with one of my hats

This was taken just a minute ago. I'm far down on the ID list and the hat is lit up, meaning I sti[[ have it in my BP. That alone can tell me it's duped.

 

Just for extra, if I click the newest ID #

He/she has it too.

 

This won't work 100% of the time though, since Outpost's histories don't always update right away.

How were hats duped? And what does gifting accomplish

I saw Raxshi was banned for "associating with dupers", how do dupers dupe hats? No im not gonna do it :P

As an example, steam trading was first introduced a few years back along side of the normal (pre-existing) trade system. So, if you traded something through both trades at the same time it would get duped. Back in July-August 2012 there was a way to dupe via gifting (steaming mancers), and then there are dupes that have been made by valve when they return items that were stolen/hijacked.
