I don't have anything you're looking for, but I could do with a Razorback. Only just started playing so I don't have much worth much but I've got a Concheror if you want it.
You don't want a razorback.
Seen a couple of people say this, but I assume it's because they are spies being devious.
Not really, it's because it doesn't help you survive any better. Spies see that shield and just shoot you a couple times in the head instead.
A Razorback is defense against one very specific type of attack - backstabs. An even vaguely smart spy will see you wearing it and just shoot you to death instead. That's only two shots with the Enforcer or Ambassador, so you still won't be able to react in time to the spy's attack.

Negative, I play sniper/scout mostly.
The razorback is pretty useless, because they will just pull out their revolver and 2 shot you, or just stab you to break it, then stab you again. Meanwhile you could have used jarate and actually been helping your team. Or using a darwin's danger shield and getting +hps.
e:
There is one specific instance where the razorback is even remotely useful, and even then it is still meh. Stand in between the heavy and medic, so when a spy tries to go for a triple they may hit you by mistake, and it may give the heavy time to turn and perforate him.
Its so easy to feel awesome at this game with servers full of new people.
This just lulls me into a false sense of security from which I enter into the PA server with a big head, only to have it sniped off from a mile away while I'm strafe jumping.
Horrible run the past 1.5 hours. I had to quit cause all I kept hearing in my head was my old HoN and Legends buddies screaming "QUIT FUCKING FEEDING THEM!!".

This game isn't really fun against all the new people. I don't even try and I get insane scores. Went 71-14 as a soldier without a medic at all. Then I went scout and just ran into them and would kill two or three before I died.

Disagree. The Razorback IS useful, but it depends on your play style.
If you play a standard sniper, the kind who hangs way back of the front lines, often all by his lonesome, then yes, the razorback is useless. A spy will just whip out his pistol and finish you.
However, if you play an aggressive sniper. The kind that is at the front lines and in the thick of the team. Then the Razorback is very useful. Spies trying to stab train your team will have to be very careful. Or alternatively they'll have to disable that dead ringer to get some shots in, which will make them vulnerable to the rest of your team.
I see Flippy_D use the Razorback a lot, I do it myself when I play huntsman. Guess what our sniping style is.

Ok so you are using up a weapon slot on the off chance that a spy decides to go after you with one specific weapon, while you are in a group. Instead of using something useful like Jarate, that could help your team push a point. It's not like a sniper is a super large threat to a spy, they will just backstab the solder/medic/heavy/demoman, then shoot you.
Flippy uses it because people like to fuck with him, and get 3 spys to go after him at the same time.
I also only use the huntsman on my sniper, so I am just as up and close as anyone else.
So what it looks like happened is that the replay bot doesn't show up on the server listings anymore as taking up a slot on the server. It still totally does, though. So the whole 24/25 thing was the server was actually full, but the server browser was trained to ignore the bot, so it thought there was a slot open.
You try to connect, and the server's like, "wait, what? lol, no, we're full bitch." And punts you. Changed the server's sv_visiblemaxplayers to 24, and now it seems to be working okay.

Yup. It's been doing this on a lot of servers, not least the Valve servers. Seriously annoying.

Jarate or SMG are superior choices.

You're much better off with the SMG or Jarate.

Well it's not that great, but I do have a Winger. And I'm still earning things for my Engineer, so I wouldn't mind grabbing the Gunslinger.

Seems like a fair trade to me. Steam friend me? Is that how this works? I've never traded without being in the same server.
now I need a can of green paint
HELP ME FORUMS
I'm honestly not sure. I just got back into TF2 a few days ago, and last time I played they did not have trading implemented yet.
Edit: Though I suppose I can Steam Friend you to see if we can figure it out.
I'll trade you the Rogue's Col Roule for it
if not, let me know if any of this stuff strikes your fancy
http://www.tf2items.com/id/kuribosshoe
I will take that off your hands.
That's fine. Steam ID is in my sig.
It turns out you can't paint the boot WHICH IS A TRAVESTY but I can still use this
Feel free to make any donations.
Dude hang onto it. They make things paintable with patches all the time.
will do

Hiding at the back of the map and bitching at your teammates when getting ambushed and they don't save you?

Times jarate has gotten me killed or forced me to run away = lots
Anyone have the skull hat to trade
All I know for sure is that I'm going to rename the knife to "Sword of Justice" and the description will be "Falls swiftly".
I think I'm going to call my Detective Noir the "Young Phelps"
And The Enforcer will probably become "The Leary"
And I'd really like to give something the description "OVER THE MOON, BOYS"
