Heck, those things are down to 60p within a day of the beta starting. I'm guessing the fellow who bought them from you is already kicking himself.
The person said in a steam thread about an hour after he bought them from me that he had sold one on the steam market for $10. I believe this is true as he only had 3 cards out of the 4 he owned on the market now, but it doesn't really matter as the game I got is worth £20.
so from this I traded the shogun 2 for chivalry, therefore making a huge profit (as chivalry is £18.99 and those cards are probably worth like £0.10 each now).
Not so much as a profit but I was looking at what items sell for and then I saw this. Oo Don't worry though Jack. I would not sell it. The waxy wayfinder I unboxed myself goes up to €122.65.

Traded my beloved Sunbeams Toque for 4 buds. i had put this hat on the market a couple times during the last 5-6 months, most of those trades lasted about 1 month before i shut them down. in all of those trades i'd get offers of 3.5 to 4 maximum, though pure bud and key offers never went over 3.5 and i initially got it for 3.5 so i didnt want to sell it for the exact amount i got it for. couple hours later i found a guy selling a Soviet Gentleman with roboactive (effect looks like a purple/pink explosion with tiny purple/pink balls being fired away from it) did a little search a found out 2 others were also selling the same hat and were asking for about 6 to 7. this guy however was only asking for 4 + little sweets so i jumped on it and got myself a nice soviet gentleman Shorter version: Traded sunbeams toque for 4 buds, which resulted in about 0.5 buds profit. traded 4 buds + 6 craft hats for a Soviet Gentleman with Roboactive, estimated profit: 1.5bud total estimated profit if i have patience when trading my new soviet gentleman: 2.5 - 3 buds. edit: traded the roboactive Soviet Gentleman for a Disco beatdown Dragonborn helmet, bcause why not.
by the time i decide to trade this (and if i know myself well enough, eventually i will, like everything else i have) it will probably not be profit anymore but I DONT GIVE A FUCK, AFTER 4-5 MONTHS I FINALLY GOT MY NEW FAVORITE HEAVY UNUSUAL. i traded my Chrioptera Venenata (scorching bat) pirate bandana + disco beatdown Dragonborn for this. for reference: a sunbeams dragonborn sells for about 11-12 buds. The soviet Gentleman is believed to be higher tier then the Dragonborn and that shows valuewise as most of the soviet gentleman sell for about 2-3 buds more then the Dragonborn with the same effect. So, i value this soviet at about 14-15 (maybe a bit higher seeing as it is 1 of 1) and i value my offer at about 12-13 -edit: Welp, just had 2 admins from 2 different, respectable, trade servers value my hat at 20 buds, seeing as it is the only one.
