god i remember this entire debacle and it is still so funny to look back through this and see how amazingly stupid it was. all of you cried because your hat that nobody wanted was only worth 2-3 keys, and you successfully whined and price fixed hard enough to get it up to like 1 bud or more at some point. unbelievable how stupid the tf2 economy was and how it was literally at the mercy of thousands of 13-20 year olds who decided the price of things based on vibes alone. this group is an incredible archive of exactly how that worked. beautiful stuff

Hey Guys,
My names FerniN and I have been trading unusuals for the past 2 years and
as a result I have finally gotten a dream, end game hat- A burning anger
valued at 25 buds. Why should you care? Because I have decided to quit tf2
and what better way to quit than to hold one of the biggest raffles ever!This
raffle, will be one of the biggest raffles in tf2 history and you will have a chance
to participate in it! All you have to do is join my steam group TF2 GAMBLE which already
has a total of of 2295 members and you are a step closer to winning a Burning Flames Anger!
Details shall arrive shortly but for now, join the group so you may have a chance to

Now days, bmocs are an official upgrade from bills. Good work everyone without any need of forced prices prices etc :)

how much b.m.o.c do today?

we all need to stock up as many as we can before christmas, then we release the kracken :D

I think they should be worth alot bec u can only get them from crafting 8 coal in a christmas promotion so yeahh............:P

................................

@^Silkee: So you must know some valve employees? Please stop whining, you investments are as bad as Your overpriced scout unusual :)

these arent under priced, smart ppl dont buy them because they will drop again at christmas.... i feel bad for anyone who convince these are super valuable then lose all there money at christmas.

bill hat and ear buds will never come again which is why they are so valuable and these are just like ghastly gibus 2. sorry to say but its the truth no1 in this group seems to realise

@LegoAlchemist:
And that is simply what this group is about, holding onto your xmas promos and not supporting the decrease by selling them at the current low price.

I was under the impression that hoarding them was the plan from the beginning. Shame what become of this group, or at least the way people corrupted this group.

I'm sticking with what my friend said, just be patient and hold onto your items. Forcing the prices cannot work and it only hurts the items reputation.

Well. We tried. Sorry guys, it ain't gonna work. Let's just settle with what we've got until Christmas.

mad tradefags: still mad

QQ2: QQ harder

vYou're awesome. :3

nice job guys ! bmoc is now 13 keys and ebenzer is 6 keys !!!!!!!!!!!! Price is still going up :D

lololol got tempbanned by the same retarded mod that closed one of my previous BMOC+Ebenezer for unusuals trade.

Just posted a thread asking for a Max Head / unusuals for my Ebenezer.
Let's see how this goes. http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/1295530

Look at all the poor yet desperate ♥♥♥♥ in the links! It's working, guys. These ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ still don't get it, apparently. Too bad for them. Just keep it up and don't do fake trades, they're not cool.

The whole point of this group is for people to not sell it so eventually profit will be made but making profit is the whole point of trading in tf2 anyways

Most fail group. Only 10% of people buy B.M.O.C to actually keep. The rest is trying to make profit from it.

selling ebenezer - 8 keys or bills

I would not take it for gunslinger. People price them as low as 7 keys so try to get 2 for gunslinger or B.M.O.C. and Ebenezer.

Im am being offered a BMOC and a key for my strange gunslinger. I dont care for it much, and totally agree that BMOCs are worth more than what people are putting them for. Not sure if I should take it or wait for better offers. ^^ Please give me advice

Key to achieving our prices: Do not sell it and have patience. Believe me there will be a time when we will decide who's capable of trading for them and who's not.

I have an Ebenezer I'd be willing to trade, if anyone here is interested, and I'm tired of being offered 3 keys for it...

Entitlement. These people believe they're *entitled* to their beloved virtual items at what they've deluded themselves to thinking is a fixed price, and these tradefags will never get it. :(

To will, -OZ- JokerMonkey [EvGN], and Papa Smurf, I would like to introduce you to my post about protecting our B.M.O.C.'s and Ebenezers from abuse. Please read it and consider taking me in for one of your captains/4th in command as I have well developed persuading speech skills that might be useful for our success. I might be also able to help by collecting few of low-priced B.M.O.C.'s and keeping them for higher prices. But we will get into that later.
As I said here is my posts and I have yet to say it spread quite a lot in about 1 or 2 days. I have re-edited it to have proper format and in order for it to include all the useful information, if required, I can add something to it. Well enough of me talking and here's the post, you can check it out yourself - http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/1261142

Funny Fact 3:
Using a group webpage as a rage center isn't a good outlet
2, I never said that this was a sure thing or not, I simply decided to try boycotting the prices because I felt it needed to be at least tried. If supply and demand and what have you decide that the bmoc and ebenezer no matter what should be worth cheap, then thats that. But I'm trying to make a point that I think it's foolish.
@Funny Fact 1:
Ofc people aren't as hyper over bmoc and ebenzers as they are over maxes/buds/bills, we are in a confusing time of price changing. No one is certaint what to buy or sell them for. Maxes and buds and bills are pretty solid, so a lot safer.

Stop using outpost as THE ECONOMY if you plan to stand long in any argument. Tf2 trading extends a lot farther than that. Something that can be different on any given day at any time isn't easily tracked without some sort of statchecker.

Funny Fact 2:

People who looking for BMOC ???

You also can search for on TF2Outpost...

10 Pages of people who are looking for BMOC...

20 Pages of People looking for Max Head
20 Pages looking for Buds
20 Pages looking for Bills

Funny fact about rarity of BMOC....

Maybe there are not a big amount in all Backpacks... but there are many in TF2Economy....

TAKE THIS YOU BMOC & EBENEZER RARITY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TALKER

At the moment its not rare

lol this group is a fail :D

also, there's a pretty huge difference between saying that you want to sell a BMOC/Ebenezer for 2 buds (my price) and getting your friends to do fake offers for said items.

if you imbeciles can't get that in your head you really aren't worth the time

boo hoo someone dared to play the market in my favourite computer game

I have no life outside of this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ metagame so I must cry about it on the internets ;___;

IT HAS HAPPENED, SPREADSHEET HAS DECIDED TO DROP THE PRICES. GUYS WE MUST NOT SELL OUR HAT'S THEY ARE MUCH FAR RARER AND NICER THEN ANY OTHER ♥♥♥♥♥♥ HAT! Besides, don't even dare accept 5 REF to anyone, these Hat's will raise so bad! STOP THE SELLING TF2 CAN'T MAKE NO MORE DROP SO LET'S ROCK N' ROLL THES ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! 777 +

Please read my description here. Thanks.

Is anyone actually reading what I'm commenting???? If nobody is, what's the point of posting here -.-

Almost everyone currently buying these hats are just trying to sell them for a higher price to make a profit. I'm sure no one would pay an entire buds for a B.M.O.C. if they were trying to buy it for the soul purpose of appreciating it as a "good-looking" hat. Just think about it, with one or two buds, you can get a pretty good low-tier, if not mid-tier unusual. Ask yourself this: What would you rather get: an unusual, or a Santa hat that only looks nice one season of the year?

**I am only using the unusuals as an example; you don't need to contradict what I said about getting them for 1 or 2 buds as that is not the point I am trying to prove here.**

Only keep these hats because you like them as a hat. Don't expect to sell them for 1 or 2 buds because that IS pretty outrageous. Remember, if nobody wants to buy them, nobody has to.

www.tf2stats.net <for rarity percentages. I ended up selling my B.M.O.C. because I didn't like it anymore. Sold for black Bills and a Vintage Tossle. Didn't scam either. They knew exactly what was going on with the spreadsheet and price of B.M.O.C.s/Ebenezers. Had a nice conversation with them after the trade.

I AGREE ! NO ONE HAS PROOF OF THEIR RARITY SO WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE THEM? I'M FINE WITH KEEPING MINE FOREVER 'CAUSE I LIKE IT!

THIS IS LIKE THE BOYCOTT OF THE TRADE SYSTEM, NEVER GONNA HAPPEN, SOMEONE SOLD IT FOR A BUDS (TF2TP) AND CURRENTLY PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR 15 KEYS+ THSI GROUP IS A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WASTE OF TIME

Now how many of you guys bought a BMOC just because they were rising? I had purchased a gunslinger, sold it for a bunch of items ,one of which was a bmoc. I like the bmoc, and I doubt i'll sell it unless my brother decides to be an indian giver and wants his bills back (spent it on the gunslinger, which was spent on a bmoc + sweets =P). How many of you actually know where to find the proof that bmoc and ebenezer are so rare?
