Preface: Now see I know that a lot of people here dislike TF2 for various reasons. I however love it and play it most days. One fateful night I got drunk and spent a couple bucks to open one of my crates (Gives you a random item). I just happened to get one of the rarest items in the game, an "unusual hat", which is just a normal hat with particle effects around it. Some people spend like 80 bucks trying to get these things because they're stone cold retarded.

Further preface:My cousin is getting good at the game, and he wanted to get a new shotgun for scout called the soda popper. I decided to surprise him with one, and found a weapon trader on the forums to buy it from. This is how that train derailed

RuneClown2015: Hey, you add me. How may I help you?
Mr. ICEE: Hey there. Do you have a strange soda popper in stock
RuneClown2015: yes
RuneClown2015: offer
Mr. ICEE: umm Im not really sure, strange weapons have such varied prices
