Team Fortress 2
Why paint is so expensive?
Recently I was trying to make a sailor cosmetic load-out, and for that the best fitting hat was Bill’s hat, I got it, then to make it look like a sailor I wanted to paint it to white, and seems like white paint ( forgot it’s name ) is 2.55 on Backpack.tf! Now why is an 1-time consumable item has a high price?

( also if there are any close colors to white in the game that is cheaper, telling their name will be appreciated )

Because it's a 1 time consumable item that people will pay a decent bit for.
It takes a lot to be a lime green scunt.

Well, enamel paints are less expensive, ranging from about $100 per gallon to $250 per gallon. Base coat paint can be anywhere from $25 to $150 or more per quart, depending on the brand and color; whites are typically the least expensive and reds are the most expensive.

because white paint makes you look edgy, cool and experienced at the game

where as drab olive makes you look like a f2p who just opened his first gift at smissmass

Cosmetics make you look experienced, paint that isnt either team coloured or thematically fits is just an edgy attention grab that happens to be on the thing that gives you an experienced look.

percisely

honestly, the scariest players are the ones that look default but are experienced and go on a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ field day against your team.

but massive emphasis on the experienced part.

I'm going too go on a rant here and say that whenever I am shredding the enemy there is always a F2P plhog on MMmmMm who shreads me in 2 sec. And if not that it's something dumb
i mean, its a flip of a coin really

on one side you have the new players

on the other side, you have adrenaline fueled american trained marines playing a round of tf2
