Kayin's Hat Profiteering and Blackmail
« on: November 11, 2010, 02:55:39 PM »

http://www.tf2items.com/id/kayinn

So everyone knows I'm sick of TF2 right? Right. But despite quiting, I have refused to give away any items. In fact I have claimed that I would sooner destroy them rather than give them away, sheerly to spite the system. That said, while I wish to keep my items in case I decide to play again, there is a class of item that make no difference to me.

Hats.

Hats are normally worthless. They don't do anything. Their worth only comes from people being willing to trade pretend items for them. None of these items have any financial value, but hats (usually) don't even do anything...

Or so I thought!
 
In a conversation involving Lyrai begging for my hats, Yeoz made a beautiful baller offer. 2 dollars to destroy my meager amount of hats! Now THATS REAL MONEY. Not a lot, but REAL MONEY. Ridley offered up to 15$ to protect the hats and for them to be given to Lyrai. Ever the profiteer, I decided to see if anyone else was willing to bid against the other side, sheerly for my benefit.

As such, the fate of the hats are now in the financial hands of you, the community. The cause with the highest pledged pool of money by a time I eventually decide (Next Friday?) will get their hat wishes granted. All money must be paid through paypal, unless you actually can come over and pay me in cash. Once it is decided who won and I receive all payments, I will do what you please with the hats, be it gift them to Lyrai, or destroy them OR ANY OTHER PROPOSED OPTION. srs bids only plz. I reserve the right to decline any proposed causes. If people can't pay up once we decide what to do, and we can't work anything out, I will refund all payments and go to the next winners.

Bidding

DESTROY THE HATS(AND YOUTUBE IT)
Yeoz: 3$+ (but claimed he'd be willing to outbid people)
Aintaer: 2 Dinners (15$ Value)
Patito: 2 Dinners (15$ Value)

GIFT TO LYRAI
Ridley: Up to 15$

This is old news. Fortunately, if things ever turn around in my eyes, I'm never going to go "Man, I'd play TF2 again, but I don't have any hats".

I can't believe mister "I Hate TF2 Because of the Hats" is selling his hats.

As a note, to prevent things from getting silly, if theres no real counter offers by tomorrow, I'm going to take my dinners and burn some hats.

So this is like when they destroyed some golden wrenches only the charity is Kayin and these items aren't special in any way.
