The items may have some sentimental value, but it's really his decision on whether he wants to just sell the stuff and get some cash to quickly get the PSU, or just wait it out for people to throw cash at him. I'm not siding with the people complaining in this thread, but simply stating that I understand where they are coming from.
ok let's just get this straight, the problem with selling donated items isn't that they have sentimental value, it's that there is an expectation when you give someone a gift that they won't just turn around and sell it for cash

this is the same forum that defended Ruwin and yz50 when they sold the unusuals they were gifted by fans right?

its a gift, a donation, they can do whatever they want with it

im not saying powah has to sell his shit, but its totally within his right and would have been a pretty viable option if he needed a quick 100

he could probably work if he wants $100, but if I could get free money without working there's no way in hell I'm not taking it

can't really blame him for seizing the opportunity

True, but the circumstances with ruwin and yz50 seem a bit different, if I recall both had quit the game at some point in there time with TF2? Didn't ruwin sell it all when he went into CSGO?

one big difference, ruwin got the unusual via twitch stream and he never begged for a unusual on tf.tv forum.
More players are taking tf2 community for granted and after the i55 lan fund raiser we will see trend of more players begging for money for anything.
tf2 communities generousity has limits and it wont go so well for the next lan funds

Powah's private sitiuation with job and school is none of TFTV's business either so maybe some people in this thread should just stfu.

marmadukeGRYLLSi can dig bein tight on cash and askin for some $ but fuck dude his little circle o niggas shoulda been like aayo we got you we'll all chip in $20

this is the big thing

if something broke on my computer and i was tight on cash i'd ask my friends if they had any spare parts lying around that i could get on the cheap or if they could loan me the money first

i guess taking donations is fine or w/e for a streamer who people are into but it just seems skeezy to me to ask for cash for pc parts

also people need to learn to ignore blinky posts entirely, like literally dont even respond with the super funny gif that ur whole circlejerk loves, just ignore him completely

lucrative posts totally deserve that wacky gif tho

If people want to donate to him, that's their choice, I won't tell him to "get a job" or judge him for his situation, but I won't donate to him, I have made that choice. Good luck with the donation drive Powah.

Its funny because you fucking morons think that he can just get a shit tier job like in the USA and still make upwards of 10 dollars per hour.

He'd get paid about 250 dollars per month with luck working 40 hours a week in a low tier job in brazil.

Fucking morons don't get it, in brazil it costs more AND to top it off the money is much harder to come by so getting 100 dollars as a young student is different than getting a summer job in the USA where you can actually make a decent amount of money.
