If I were you I'd donate them to your friends and feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Would go for one nice knife, whats the budget?

joelk2 · 16 Apr 2015 at 15:46

40 keys is the budget.

ive always like the huntsman vanilla which i could get for 40. other than that a Flip CW FT (which looks MW+) for around 35k is doable.

the flip would compliment my fade better (Flip Fade for CT/Flip CW for T) but the huntsman is more manly.

kyippee · 16 Apr 2015 at 15:56

Could try and trade for a fade huntsman maybe? Full fade ones look sweet.

another thought is just to get a huntsman vanilla and sell the flip. or just sell the flip and go no knife.

Wish i never sold my FN looking crimson web flip. Did make a good profit off it though!
Ive decided to not bother with expensive knives now, mw look boreal huntsman that i got for £33 will do me fine.

profit is never a bad thing.

ive already cashed out once lol. had 2 x cobble packages left and traded up to this (opened around 10 cases aswell as keys burn a hole in my pocket)

100% Flip Fade + 40 Keys

im happy with this little run.

got some keys and cant decide whether i should buy another knife while the market is low and run a a different knife for CT & T or whether to just sell them and stick with the 1.

Saw this reddit post which pretty much describes the community.

There is a rift in the CS community, and the two sides see the game very very differently.

There is a group who only want the AWP, M4 and AK to be viable in full buy rounds, that think the major draw and skill in CS is holding angles, quick peaks and one tapping heads.

There is another group that looks at the weapon buy menu and goes 'Well why the hell are the SMGs, Shotguns and LMGs in the game if they aren't supposed to be used?', and who makes arguements such as 'SMGs should be better than rifles at close range and when mobile. That's the entire reason they were built, it's not like the armies were on an Eco and couldn't afford to buy m16 so bought an mp5 instead.' And to be fair to them, it is special forces and counter insurgency units that tend to make use of combat shotguns and submachine guns rather than the infantry. This doesn't even talk about the auto or the scoped rifles, which should (and largely do) have a place but their use is still derided because you are a noob if you don't M4/AK.

Now, these two sides are never going to agree, and will continue to call each other names - 'SMG noobs', 'Auto kurwa', 'Nostalgic idiot'. The biggest issue though is that the first group are largely the old school players, who pine for a return to 1.6 glory and see valve and the other group as ruining their game - for they have been playing it for 15 years, it should stay how it has always been. They are resentful at valves attempts to increase weapon diversity as 'dumbing down the game', and are never going to be happy unless valve scraps all these attempts and just leaves the guns alone and works on the engine.

In short, this is a community angry at itself, and one that is never going to be happy again...

I'm rocking a Huntsman case hardened. Managed to get one with a decent pattern for 90 euros (with the proceeds from selling the Knight), but they have dropped in price since.

Zenduri · 16 Apr 2015 at 18:23

Every day i am tempted to sell up my skins for keys and grab a knife but i would feel so bad as ive spent ages doing tradeups and opening cases for my majority pink/ purple inventorty.
Market price is agout £145 for them all and even with taking a bit of a percentage hit to get keys it would be ok.....sigh i just want a decent knife, havent even seen the knife roll by on unboxing since about november

First world problems

I've spent £8 in total on this game including keys and now after selling all my inventory I have £21 in my steam wallet. I'm tempted to spend it on a skin which went down the most and wait a bit to see if I can make more profit. But I'm tempted to just add the little extra and buy GTA V...

Edit

P.s. Ups, forgot about the stickers which add up to around £2-£3

Not worth it, would rather have a decent inventory than just a sole knife.

he was just doing standard trying to buy for real cash and i wouldnt accept his terms so just before he deleted/blocked me he declared he was going to scam me so i filled a report.

he tried arguing his case and then i told him i knew the info about him and he pmed me saying he'd hid all his details blah blah blah.
