So over Christmas on the last day of the sale, I decided to craft the Holiday Sale Badge. I wasn't very enthusiastic and thought I'd get some crappy in-game item. I ended up getting the Crimson Imp Mask from Path of Exile, a game I've never played. On a whim, I check how it sells on the market and it turns out to go for a maximum of £255($328)! Of course I was shocked, and in disbelief that someone would spend that much money on an item. I looked at the graph on the market, and saw that only 4 had ever sold, and the first one sold was on the 21st of December.

I started to get friend requests quite frequently, from quite a range of people. Some people would add me in awe that I'd won, and telling me that they love Path of Exile. A few added me thinking I was rich, slyly asking me to give them things or flatout just asking for free shit. The craziest ones would add me and tell me they NEED that mask, that they HAVE all the other masks and that they NEED that one. They would ask if I would take all their TF2 items and the rest of the inventory, saying "you can sell them!" and then they get really irate and mad when I refuse their offer.

And then I got about 2 or 3 phishing attempts. They would send me a link like "steanncommunity.com" or "steamcommuuunity" and try to get me to log into steam on a dodgy website.

But it sold just now! I thought it would only take about a week but it took almost three. There was another guy selling one on the market, and we kept trying to undercut each other, which was fun. But mine sold first! hah!

Anyway the moral of this story is:
people on the internet are mental
that crimson really goes with your eyes
sharing is caring

edit: I forgot about the guy that added me to tell me I was stupid and it will never sell

Congratulations on your luck! There are users who crafted a level 1,000 badge and didn't even receive a single unparalleled item.

congrats =)

I didn't really get fancy stuff from crafting badges, but on the other hand I don't really bother putting my items on the market, so even if I had gotten something nice, it would probably only collect dust in my inventory.

Congratz and thank you for the giveaways. I never got anything as expensive as that mask, but I've had people add me in the past saying similar things hah.
