Scrapbanking

Team Fortress 2 Crafting system had the 2 weapons of the same class to be combined to a scrap. But since it requires 2 weapon of the same class, most players will find a scrap banker.A scrap banker is a person who owns quite a lot number of scraps and willing to give you a scrap for every 2 weapon of any class to compensate the scrap value.

.As you may notice, they scrap banker doesn't care what weapon come from what class as long they are craftable and in pair, then the scrap banker would take it.This is called scrapbanking. It's common to see a scrap banker in a normal trading server in any given moment. In fact, most people use scrapbanking as a mean to build up their arsenal of weapons in a hurry or to amass weapon to give away. This technique is effective if you are playing in a crowded server and there is no scrap banker other than yourself.

The most common practice of scrapbanking is doing a normal trading. There is no need of a middleman involvement as this trade are generally safe. The steps of a routine a scrap banker is simple :

1. Craft some scraps.
2. Announce you are a scrap banker in a trading server.
3. Repeat step 2 until someone trades you.
4. A player will give you 2-300 items.
5. Proceed with this formula: I(Item) /2 = S(scrap).
6. Check every weapon for uncraftable.
7. Proceed with the trade.
8. Repeat from step 1.

There is another step created by Viktor, This is how to make profit out of this:

1. Perform scrap banking as above.

2. Sell the weapon to another player for 1-3 scrap(depending on the demand or the spreadsheet).

3. Repeat step 1.
