Hat duping? Impossible you say! Well, apparently not...link here. Looks like the problem is already under control but just in case hold off on buying a Burning Tossel.

Quick tidbit on integrity
'Allo fellow TF2'ers. Every once in a while we like to address things going on in the TF2 community. Today is a busy one, as you can already read about the Genuine Purity Fist & Clean 2011 Skull post here. However, it is also important to talk about some hearsay about our little spreadsheet and "price fixing".
While we have already discussed our methodology, we never thought our actual integrity was being questioned until some other competing websites started popping up looking curiously similar to ours. Their creators were claiming that TF2 Spreadsheet (that's us) is corrupt! With no evidence of course they go on to accuse us of price-fixing for our own gain, therefore their new price website is the white knight in shining armor coming to save the day!
Let us just say this: we would not have lasted as long nor be as often used a resource if people thought our prices were fixed. All of our editors are active traders who submit their price reports and I, your humble Admin, compile them to one price for each item. I personally do not trade for profit anymore. My gains were made trading unusuals (we don't even offer prices on them) and regular items way back in the early months of 2011. However, I am on trade servers and forums for several hours a day. Yes I am probably watching you right now.
So when someone says something insane like we're fixing prices, and when they can't offer proof tell them to go and play Naughty Bear instead.

Genuine Purity Fist & Clean Spine-Chilling Skull 2011
Ok, traders there is some genuine controversy going around on a couple of items. Let's address them one by one.
Genuine Purity Fist: Apparently there are several (at least) hoarders of this item. They have many of them in their respective backpacks. Facepunch has the story here. There were several SPUF threads however most have been deleted (not closed, per usual) by moderators. Strange but conspiracy theorists we are not. There remains a semi-informative SPUF thread here. The bottom line: don't buy a genuine purity fist right now. If you do, buy it on the cheap only.
Clean Spine-Chilling Skull 2011: As with Spine-Chilling Skull 2010, there is another "glitch" that made some of the 2011 versions craftable (note: the 2010 glitch made some of that year's version tradeable). This is verified in the official wiki here. The bottom line: this does appear to be a rarer item and a price-clarification is coming on both clean/dirty versions. However, there appear to be many for sale right now at values all-over-the-map. Until the market sorts out, we will watch and see.

Halloween Poll results
It looks like the pyro marketing scheme is working since you fell all over backwards for his (or her?) new hats. Last Breath takes the pole position with an easy lap win over the rest. Apparition's Aspect in second. Idiot Box, Spine Chilling Skull 2011, and Holy Hunter take a close 3rd place. The sarcastic poll stackers must have taken this week off since the Gibus and Monoculeus didn't even have a chance. Here's to less sarcasm!

New poll: tell us your favorite Halloween hat
Consider all the items Valve gave us this year for Halloween and tell us which hat is your favorite. They really went all out as we predicted and you have to give a round of applause to Valve as they keep adding more and more content to this classic game.
For the poll regarding the costume sets, assume the hats are Haunted if that makes any difference. Be as sarcastic (Monoculus) or snarky (Ghastlierest) as you like!

Site update.
We want to give you a progress report on a coming site upgrade. While we will keep most details under wraps we want you to know that we take your suggestions seriously. We get requests to share the google doc which we edit that fits in the blog. We know some of you prefer it and want you all to know that we will change things from a UI perspective in our 2.0 version. There are also iPad/Android and other mobile users who want an easier to manipulate sheet while you are on a beach somewhere or in line at the supermarket (hopefully not driving). We take those opinions seriously and will address them with our coming revamp. Stay tuned, TF2 traders.
Manniversary poll results
Well you did it again, TF2 Community. You chose the sarcastic, snarky answer as your favorite Manniversary Update headwear! Not really all that unbelievable since the choices are a bit underwhelming even in our opinion. Birdcage is the clear runner-up. If miscs had been included would you still love that damn paper hat? We may never find out because Halloween blindsided us with an impressive update from the good ol' crew at Valve.
