Buds

A form of pseudo-currency used in the Team Fortress 2 trading scene. Shorthand for the item "Earbuds," a promotional item released in 2010 given to anybody who ran the game on an Apple computer, the infrequency of such players at the time and limited run of the promotion led to the item becoming quite rare. Worth approximately 30$ but subject to price fluctuations due to the instability of the TF2 market. Due to their value they are used for trading high value items such as unusual cosmetics.

Seller: Looking to trade a Massed Flies Stout Shako for ~8 buds or equivalent
Buyer: Wow, that's the worst deal I've ever seen. Reported, blocked, uninstalled, called the cops, etc.
