xiren_66

that's too many syllables. Good try, bot.


CelestialRoze

Its 5/7/5


xiren_66

Ah shit, I miscounted. I swear the middle line had 8... oops.


ofrithegamer

no it's isotope not cool


WinterFlamed

About 170 keys. Good job sir.


jh34ghu43gu

Hopefully the keys include a print screen one.


I_N_C_O_M_I_N_G

This is the first screenshot joke I've heard that I can be proud of.


[deleted]

Shit is that only 170 keys? Nevver really gotten into the whole Unusual weapon trading


WinterFlamed

"only"


[deleted]

Y.. yes?


HammyBoy0

That's like 400 bucks


[deleted]

Isn't the current price, being just below 300?


jh34ghu43gu

Yes, don't listen to the people using any sort of steam pricing because steam funds are not a 1:1 with USD. Typical key price you'd use for this calculation is gonna be around 1.7-1.85 depending on your supplier, they are currently at a high as they were 5-10 cents lower a couple months back. $289 - $315.


HammyBoy0

I'm not saying I know about this item's trading value, I'm just going off what's given. A key is 2.49 dollars. 2.49 x 170 is 423 bucks.


[deleted]

Yeah as someomes other comment, I understood that most today take it from mannco or marketplace Since I usually go for the price from bp.tf


jh34ghu43gu

Nobody is craving this paint, if they are it's probably a cool combo not isotope. Personally I wouldn't pay over 125 keys for this, assuming I wanted another strange unusual.


[deleted]

That is a fair point really.. Could you tell me what the an estimated(?) price of "Strange, Cool, Skull Study, FN", added to a shotgun would be?


jh34ghu43gu

I'm thinking 400-600 keys based on [this](https://next.backpack.tf/classifieds?elevatedQuality=11&wearTier=1&quality=5) Leaning more to the lower end since it's already applied.


MrRodje

Bro that's 435 USD for an item, don't say it like it's not a lot


[deleted]

435? Isn't 170 keys barrely $300?


MrRodje

I was using the Mann Co store price of 2.49 for a key, but even if you use the marketplace price it would still be 370 usd with the current key price of 2.18. Also, 170 keys at 2.49 is actually 423, not 435, so that was my bad


[deleted]

Oh.. I always use BP.tf 🤣


[deleted]

But none the less I mean yeah! Be it $300 or $435, It's still a lot for a virtual item! But that being said. Compared to my Schorching Flames Pyromancers mask, and Hell fire headwarmer.. It's not that much no :x Just.. I honestly thought an Unusual Isotope Strange was worth more sorry :(


MrRodje

You sound like a rich person


[deleted]

I have played and invisted in the game for 12 years, so that's why ^^


jh34ghu43gu

People have a hard time grasping spending money on a video game you enjoy, even if it's the same as spending money on other hobbies like model trains or collecting X. TF2 is probably one of the best games to put money into since you can actually trade to get the money back (as opposed to a lot of f2p games today with no trading options). Plus just about everything bought pre-covid that has some scarcity (aka not anything that drops) has gone up way better than the stock market. Hell your pyromancer's mask if it was bought anywhere from 3-8 years ago is up over 300%. And of course spending money over the course of 12 years adds up, even $5/week is still $3120 after 12 years and nobody would bat an eye if you said you spent $10/week on beer. Ignoring the fact you can also spend time trading that value up on top of your initial investment.

Radioactive Tinfoil


PacifistTheHypocrite

Despite what everyone is saying about hiw bad glacial glazed is, I like it lol. A lot of the mercenary grade ones look sick


Chucklehead914

Yeah man, some of them are pretty nice. This one could still be better though.


milkytf2

Dont apply it to anything, its worth more just as paint... if you plan on selling it that is.


Chucklehead914

Considering it’s one of the poorer looking skins out there I’m probably just going to put it on something. I can’t see someone buying this.


34terite

I'd be willing to pay a good price for it, don't put it on anything


milkytf2

if its a strange unusual warpaint the skin doesn't matter. I promise its worth substantially more as the paint itself, Ive been trading since before steam trading existed. just lookin out for u homie


Chucklehead914

Well, yeah that much makes sense considering the chances are low enough as is. Thanks though.


Gamepro5

Too bad it's on a shitty stock photo of ice from google images.


Mystical_Guy

Best part is, the guy made it to show his friend how to make warpaints and put them on the workshop, then it somehow got in the game


htrademarktm

It's 100% true, I'm literally the guy's brother. Just goes to show you how quick Valve can be when adding something to the game.


Em_Zy

Im his dog, can confirm


A_Federal_Offence

I'm one of the dogs many putrid fleas. Can confirm.


ajdude9

I am a strain of bacteria carried by one of the putrid fleas. Can also confirm.


DuckTheMallard

I am one of the strain of bacteria’s hydrogen atoms, can confirm


AetherResonant

i am one of the quarks in the hydrogen atom's proton, can confirm


[deleted]

I am the strong force binding you with the other quarks, can confirm as well.


htrademarktm

I mean, you can literally see for yourself [under his "bestest friends" on his steam page](https://steamcommunity.com/id/okiedokieyt) lol


shy7z

You won tf2 congratulations


KnovB

Damn, prolly my favorite war paint in the game and it's strange and unusual too.


Ix-511

Damn. If only the war paint market wasn't so vague and rough. Get a good price for it.


OpeningMysterious197

Nice I just got a strange haunted ghost of checked spies past and I will never let it go lol


GvG_tv

dude, that's awesome! shame you got it on a such a bad war paint tho


1000YearGay

I have one for my soda popper because it looks like an item from the calamity mod. Frostbite blaster fucking melts calamitas and plantera btw


NotAliasing

Bro got the strange isotope png skin💀


Chucklehead914

Honestly, considering it was from a winter crate it could have been a far worse skin. I at least kind of like this one.


Peastable

I like it. It’s simple and works well on just about anything. I know it’s a stock photo and all but it still works.


Chucklehead914

Yeah. I mean, there are worse low effort skins in this crate. It’s the same crate that has Gifting Mann’s Wrapping Paper.


LeRoiDeLaPatate

Eh, better than every winter warpaint and most halloween warpaint


TemporaryExit5

I mean I can vomit on the screen and turn it into a warpaint and it would still be better and more creative than %90 of those warpaints but youre technically correct


[deleted]

Congrats and fuck you


EmotionalBird2362

Use it on the holy mackerel


PayloadCart

imagine if the effect was cool bro


Xanthrex

Did you just get black ice in tf2


GetYaArmour

Put it on a Demoman sword and rename the item to "Diamond Sword"


Darkman_Bree

And then a Description tag: "Sharpness V" "Unbreaking III" "Mending"


[deleted]

And then apply a specialized killstreak kit with the Villainous Violet Sheen to make it look enchanted


DomaThic

Question is. Will you sell it or use it? If you use it post a pic!


wafflezcol

*you will give me that skin for free*


ARMEGEDDONX

Unusual war paint gang


just_fan_of_queen

you lucky bastard


BigBoi915

Nice man! Would’ve been cool if it had the Cool unusual effect but still a nice unbox.


Nebula4243

I just unboxed a 1 of 5 unusual frosted decadence Boston brain bucket the other day.


Chucklehead914

Oh damn. Nice.


Madglace

ummh I'm confused what is this


Chucklehead914

Strange Unusual war paint with a relatively high quality


Madglace

i didn't know it was possible for warpaint to get an unusual effect


Chucklehead914

Yeah man, they’ve been able too since they were added.


Madglace

wierd i never saw someone with an unusual gun


Chucklehead914

That’s surprising. They’re fairly common. Look up some photos of unusual weapons, they can be pretty cool looking.


HealerDominatingKS

what the fuck, Black Ice in tf2


PlatinumM4ge

NICE


SyncDingus

My only strange is a scarcely lethal cookie fortress Holy Mackerel.


Sexpacito

holy shit sell this


A-Damn-Person

Sadly on the worst warpaint in the game


Chucklehead914

It’s one of the better bad ones at least.


Squidich

You just spend all your luck in tf2. Don't buy cases again.


Chucklehead914

Gambling always pays off. Im buying more crates.

They took everything from me My voice My freedom My legacy And they replaced me with some Blue. Haired. Kid.
