    So then, I sold my Salvaged #40 for 7 keys, then I used 1 of those keys on a crate #55. I was expecting a Pain Train or something.

    Unusual Counterfeit Billycock with Orbiting Fire.

    I unbox another, still expecting a Pain Train.

    Medigun.

    I sell 2 of the leftover keys.

    I craft a hat from 3 refined.

    Fast Learner.

    (warning: this made someone mad who watched the events unfold)

    UPDATE:

    Got a Naughty Crate drop. Got a Naughty Key from WH.

    Festive Huntsman.

    UPDATE 2:

    Crafted a pyro token, a melee token, and a scrap.

    Maul

    Got a Naughty Crates from another drop, got 2 Naughty Keys from a trade with Pruu.

    Festive Frontier Justice

    Got a free Naughty Crate from Damien.

    Festive Sandvich.

    Wanna hear my BAD luck story yesterday?

    So I decided to buy about 36 Refined from the Hexide shop and a few other things since it was super cheap and I had about $50 I finally got for Christmas. I ended up spending it all on there. So I then start keybanking and making small profits, and eventually got to over 40 Ref of value. THen I bought my dream Sniper set, and was still going after a Genuine Merc's Pride Scarf:

    Genuine AWPer Hand
    Genuine Anger
    Outback Intellectual
    Merc's Pride Scarf

    And I had a bunch of other VALUABLE items. That was merely only a chunk of them. With everything I had, I might've been able to buy an unusual, which has been my dream since the beginning of the game (Some sort of Anger or other Sniper hat to be exact), then I saw someone crabbing for a Bill's Hat & a LOT of adds, and it was a pretty nice day, so we crabbed until 5, and it was at 4-3 and I crabbed twice in a row. Lost everything I had. Then someone was nice enough to give me a key to uncrate, normal Festive Axtinguisher. Horrible day. Funny thing is I've lost my stuff before in a big gamble. I'm never going to reach my goal. And there's no way to get higher up either. fml

    Want here my fun story?
    I wasted £50 on a steam voucher and now i've got enough keys buy myself a unusual, Double the items/hats, lots of paint to use on said hats, a dozen games and i've got enough spare dosh to repeat the above around 3 times.
    If you can't tell i'm a professional at burning money.
    Eitherway i'm going go back to buying games and stuff off the market.

    I got scammed for one of my 3 earbuds that I had at the time, and valve support didnt feel like reversing the trade :/

    Nowadays I dont care about any of the tf2 hats except the ones I already own.

    Did you try to sell it outside Steam (via PayPal/Moneybookers/etc)?
    If yes, Steam can't do anything about it, as they only support Scams via regular Steam trading.

    I tried selling it through the in-game trading back when that was the only way to trade tf2 items. I was hoping to recieve a code for a certain non-steam game though, which I think might be why steam support didn't want to help.

    You think thats luck pffft, guess what just happened to me then.
    A bot from Tf2store derped up and told me i had a order waiting for me, upon accepting the trade the bot put 43 unusual hats into the trade, And i don't mean cancer ones, stormy storm team captains that sort of thing.
    This stuff all added to £5,000+ and i was getting it for free.
    And you know what i did, i cancled it and reported it to the guys at the website.
    And now i'm crying to myself.
