00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,000
Welcome to another episode of SHOW ME YOUR 
SKINS

2
00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:06,800
The program in which together with my guests 
we talk about their inventory

3
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:09,900
and surely we get to learn many interesting 
things about their skins

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,600
And if you'd like to be a part of the program, 
all you need to do is show us your skins

5
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:18,000
Maybe you'll be the one we invite to another 
episode

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,800
Before we move on to the next guest

7
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:28,300
I'd like to invite you to visit Kingu.in/szpero, 
where you can find many cool things for CS:GO 
players

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,600
And my today's guest is Tomasz "phr" Wójcik, 
well known Polish CS:GO player

9
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:37,500
Former player of Virtus.pro, Illuminar and 
AGO

10
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:45,200
- Hello Tomek! Thanks for joining us
- Hello!

11
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:54,700
I won't start with CS:GO, because I've heard 
you had some contact with skins in other 
games as well

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,400
Could you tell us a bit about it?

13
00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:59,300
I've been trading a lot in TF2

14
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:09,500
It was more about metals, which you got from 
utilizing weapons dropped during the game

15
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:16,200
And we had three levels - for three first-level 
metals you were getting one second-level 
metal

16
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:19,300
For three second-level metals you were getting 
one third-level metal,

17
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,200
So later you could use it for trading

18
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:24,700
And obviously some of the weapons were more 
uncommon

19
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,200
So you could sell it for more

20
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:34,400
I don't recall the name of it, but there 
was a website similar to CSGOlounge

21
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:37,700
where all the trading was happening

22
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,800
If you were a lucky guy, you could also drop 
a hat

23
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,700
- Did you get a hat?
- More than once!

24
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:50,600
I was lucky enough to even get some kind 
of knife

25
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:55,600
Because unusual hats had some kind of special 
effects

26
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:59,100
For example your head was getting green

27
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,600
It doesn't tell me much, but I see you were 
into TF2

28
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:08,100
Did you make any money of it? Or was it just 
about trading?

29
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,800
I made some money and it was quite a lot

30
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:14,300
Back in the days I used to play it a lot

31
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,500
I was also idling just to get some extra 
drops

32
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,600
There was a limit of 6 drops per week

33
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:28,500
And I think I made from it about $7500-$10,000

34
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Obviously you could get even more, but I 
was the guy who was buying cheap and selling 
more expensive

35
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,700
If you were lucky enough, you could even 
drop a hat worth $10,000

36
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,500
Unfortunately, I wasn't the chosen one

37
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:57,100
But I think we could call it a good beginning 
before switching to CS:GO

38
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:06,300
I was just going to ask about CS - have you 
been trading skins as well or did you focus 
on playing?

39
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:13,400
It all began with buying CS:GO gift codes, 
when it wasn't a F2P game

40
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:17,500
and I was selling it for keys

41
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,800
Back then it was the main currency

42
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:21,300
- I remember those times...

43
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,000
Right, so you could really make a lot from 
it

44
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:31,900
but I was also asking my friends from school, 
if they were interested in buying CS:GO

45
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,900
And there were a couple of guys who bought 
it

46
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,600
So I've been also selling it for real money

47
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:44,000
Let's move on to skins, because we haven't 
talked about CS:GO

48
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:51,200
How did it work for you? You just told us 
about keys, but I'm curious about skins

49
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:59,700
How did it start? Were you trying to get 
some skins to play with or just started trading?

50
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:09,900
I tried to switch from trading in TF2 to 
CS:GO, but CS community was much smarter

51
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,800
So my previous method wouldn't work

52
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:20,800
because the competition was too big

53
00:04:20,900 --> 00:04:30,100
However thanks to TF2 I've managed to save 
some money and I spent $1000 for my skins

54
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:37,100
I always have some funds for skins, but if 
I want to, I can sell them

55
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,000
obviously at lower price, because websites 
get some commission

56
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:50,700
To sum up, it wasn't that easy at the beginnings

57
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:58,900
and my first skin that I've bought was M9 
Bayonet Night

58
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,100
If i recall correctly, it was Field Tiested

59
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:19,600
I chose it because Factory New that I always 
buy was too expensive and this "scratched" 
pattern was kind of my thing

60
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:27,000
So how much of your money did you put into 
this?

61
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:44,200
When it comes to CS, I've started with about 
$25

62
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:52,500
but I also told myself that at every LAN 
event I attend, I'll open 10 cases

63
00:05:52,600 --> 00:06:01,900
So it was much more. The key is like 6 dollars, 
right? Let me check

64
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,800
- It's more like 3 dollars

65
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:11,700
So let's say I spent 25 dollars at every 
tournament

66
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:16,300
And I played at plenty of them

67
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,200
I've opened about 300 cases and didn't get 
any knife

68
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:25,500
Sometimes I got some red skins and I was 
instantly selling it

69
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,500
- It happens to some of the guys

70
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,400
- But it's quite obvious many of us spend 
some money for it, but only a few make some 
profit

71
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:42,800
Let's move on to your current inventory. 
Show us what you got

72
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:56,500
This is quite a nice fella. Why did you chose 
this one?

73
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:03,500
Well, I like green Dopplers the most, but 
I think the Falchion one isn't available

74
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:10,900
However we have the blue one, which looks 
nicer to me than Ruby (red)

75
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,400
Some time ago I had both of them. I was using 
blue one at CT-side, and the red one while 
playing as T

76
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:34,000
But I cashed out some money and lost quite 
a bit at commissions, so now I have only 
the blue one, because I like it more

77
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:42,600
That's quite interesting anecdote, that you've 
been using red one at T side and so on

78
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:47,500
Well, it comes to mind that terrorists are 
red, and CTs are blue

79
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,300
- I haven't heard about it but it's a cool 
idea!

80
00:07:51,400 --> 00:08:03,000
Do you have any skins that remind you of 
cool things at tournaments?

81
00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:07,900
I don't get too involved with this kind of 
things

82
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,800
but I really like Neo-noir collection

83
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:17,700
I don't even know how to prenounce it :D

84
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:28,000
Anyway, I like this "anime" style. I also 
have USP-s from this collection

85
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:32,900
I used to have M4A4 as well, but recently 
switched to The Emperor

86
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,800
But it fits in pretty nice with the rest

87
00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:42,700
- So it's more about colourway

88
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,600
Sometimes it comes up by accident. I don't 
really pay attention to it

89
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:54,000
I also have AK - Legion of Anubis, which 
for me is the coolest one

90
00:08:54,100 --> 00:09:01,500
Wild Lotus may be cooler, but I think it's 
the most expensive AK skin

91
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:17,300
What's interesting is that this skin is the 
first one to have some "3D" elements

92
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:26,600
And it's current name isn't relevant, because 
I just bought it from the market

93
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:38,000
Let's go back to trading for a bit. What's 
the highest you've ever sold a skin?

94
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:54,800
I sold M4A4 Howl for 1900 dollars
- I know 
this skin pretty well!

95
00:09:54,900 --> 00:10:00,500
- There's a whole story with innocent behind 
it :D

96
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:07,400
And this skin gets more and more expensive. 
If I checked the price, I'd be crushed

97
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:22,800
Same goes for Stiletto Doppler Ruby, which 
I bought for 600 dollars. Now it's worth 
even $1000 more!

98
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:26,700
It was quite silly of me to sell it so early

99
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,600
It's easy to predict future prices of some 
of the skins, basing on cases and collections

100
00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:43,600
This knife is only in one or two cases, and 
it's ruby, so it's extra rare

101
00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:58,200
You can never predict all of the things. 
You can miss the fact, that some skins can 
be worth three times more in two years...

102
00:10:58,300 --> 00:11:03,400
I was more like: "I'm bored with this one, 
going to buy something different" :D

103
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:11,200
It's kind of a meme right now on Twitch, 
that I switch knife skins pretty often :D

104
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:16,100
I would play with one skin a week or two 
and I just feel that I have to change it

105
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,400
Maybe the new knife will boost my skill

106
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:25,300
- Maybe it's because you're still a trading 
guy?

107
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:44,100
That's right. But I always trade one for 
one, so in many cases I lose money

108
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:52,600
Let's not drag this out. I have two extra 
questions

109
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:58,700
What's current value of all of your skins?

110
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,600
It's about 1400 dollars right now

111
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:08,500
So it's oscillates around my "$1000 budget"

112
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:16,200
- That's quite a lot. I'm wondering what's 
your place in the ranking :D

113
00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:21,100
And the final question: do you have some 
dream skins?

114
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:30,400
M9 Bayonet Emerald, it's probably my favourite 
skin

115
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:38,200
Emeralds are the best skins, but they're 
also the most expensive ones

116
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:40,900
The only Emerald skin I got was Flip Knife

117
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:47,700
- What's the price of M9 Bayonet you're talking 
about?

118
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,600
I think it's about 5200 dollars

119
00:13:07,900 --> 00:13:13,400
Just checked this. The one with StatTrak 
is worth about $10,000

120
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:18,300
- That's quite a lot. I wish you'd afford 
it someday

121
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:26,400
Thank you for coming by!

122
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,100
Thanks, it was a pleasure being here

123
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,000
That would be all for this episode. Thanks 
for watching!

124
