Corpfox Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 After having a few rages from my previous thread, I can't help but wonder if people actually keep their Unusuals. I looked at about 10 person's backpack and only a few have kept them for so long. I'm the 2nd owner of my Circling Hearts hard counter and had it since 2012. My unboxed, Purple Energy Old Guad is almost a year old. Is most people's thoughts about Unusuals are getting rid of them quickly and profitably? I've had a few friends that unboxed their Unusuals but preferred to sell them instead of keep. It boggles my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrous Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I wear them until I get bored of it, which is usually one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synister Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'll keep an unusual that I like until an offer comes along that meets or exceeds my expected value of the hat. If I can't get what I'm looking for, I'll die with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Delicious Cashew Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 cheap first/second gen headwarmers = yes (p fetti <3) any fetti = for a bit others = as long as it takes to get a good offer for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Cyan Stone in Mustard Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 If I get Unusuals I'm really satisfied with, I'm very satisfied with my tree but I'm still on the quest for a Strange Stormy Bonk Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannonSandvich Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'll tell you, when I unbox one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can't get what I'm looking for, I'll die with it.This is so trueI've had only one unusual for now, i didn't like the hat so i sold it and uncrated useless stuff cuz why not But if I would get my hands on a good looking unusual hat I would keep it, unless it has a very ugly effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revenueeeeeeeeee Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's a pixelated hat in a video game. Why people would take that over a real, tangible cash offer boggles my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giby Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It depends, I buy unusual for 2 reasons: -To create sets and keep 'em: I'll keep 'em -It's a quicksell or anything, so, I can do profit : I'll sell 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondHavoc. Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'll probably keep the Panama I unboxed but I sell my cancers immediately, like my Planets Hard Counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamasakis Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Depends on the unusual. My first unusual unbox, was on halloween, Robo-glove poisoned shadows, i really like the effect of the hat. I'm planning to keep it. Had few thoughts about selling it, but i never forced myself to do it On the other hand i got unusual festivizer disco beat down, it's just a matter of time, when i get bored and put it up for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slocumruls Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Everything has a price.... how high i make the price depends on whether i want to keep it for a while or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Radiated Banana Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Only good hats i keep, until someone gives a good offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzybutt Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I usually try and insta-sell to make up the loss from the thousand or so unboxes I've done. I inevitably sell for less anyway and make a loss so I regret most sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtn Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I keep(ed) them like my babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G What ™ Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I got into unusuals in order to flip profit. But I ended up with a bubbling tower, and I kinda like it. don't know if I will keep or not, but while I never thought I would keep one I am now seeing the appeal.

ThatOtherChigga #Mack Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's a pixelated hat in a video game. Why people would take that over a real, tangible cash offer boggles my mind. Because they lack popularity in real life so they seek it on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woifi The Viking Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Well I quicksell every unusual (when I'm not trading for profit) that's not a KE (or sometimes scorching). I'm happy to keep my KE's though but if an awesome offer comes along I won't say no to money > pixel. If tf2 dies tomorrow I would rather have 2500$ than my hat. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangram § Xen domU Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Right now: yes. In long term: depends. I like my unusuals otherwise I wouldn't have bought them (I despise having crappy cancer unusuals in my backpack). In the future maybe I'll consider upgrading the German Gonzila to an higher tier hat but most likely I'll prefer to gather hats for the classes I don't have unusuals (that or cash out) for. I have (had?) two TF2 main goals: 1) collect all strange festives, 2) get a proper unusual for each class. Right now I'm working for goal 1 (90% there) but I doubt I'll accomplish goal 2 as my availability to play games will drop sharply in a couple months (wife is expecting twin in a few months).
