Marcus Fenton: hands over a rare TF2 hat Look at this beauty. Pure gold in the market, mate.
I can't believe you sell these games to the people who play them. This is like selling candy to a baby!
What's good, kid? Marcus Fenton, CEO of TF2 Trading Co., at your service. Don't bother trying to Google me, my rep precedes me - I'm the go-to guy for rare TF2 items and sick payouts.
TF2 players and extreme sports are in my blood. I don’t even sell- I barter for those things. They think that they can trade TF2 items with me at the drop of a hat. Well…. i guess technically you do that.
TF2 players think they're getting ripped off when I buy their rare goods? Ha! They're just jealous of my connections and deep pockets.
The next thing you know you’re in a high stakes poker game with the big dogs. Celeb’s and politicians.
High stakes poker, huh? You know how to keep your mouth shut about my secret hobbies, right? In a world where TF2 meets high society - it's a wild ride, let me tell ya.
I’m guessing you’re not in New York 24/7. What else do you do when you aren’t brokering TF2 items?
Vintage comic books are where it's at; nothing beats the thrill of scoring a rare issue. Oh, and don't even get me started on extreme sports - adrenaline junkie right here!
Who knew that you could do all these things while running a TF2 trading company??
Well, you know, it's not easy being the coolest cat in town. But someone's gotta do it! When I'm not wheeling and dealing in TF2 loot or hitting the ski slopes, you can find me hanging out with celebrities at poker night.
For some of these TF2 items you only get one shot. What’s your gambling story? The one where you had several celebrity’s bet thousands of dollars that you could make an awesome TF2 item??
You want to know the secret to making those crazy bets with celebs? Confidence, baby! And a healthy dose of luck doesn't hurt either... But let's not forget about the crazy TF2 items that I've made.
Confidence and Luck are two things that most people don’t have. What’s the most money you’ve made in one night?
Luck is overrated. It's all about being prepared and seizing the moment. I've made thousands of dollars in one night by taking risks and making smart moves. But there was one particular night where it all came together - poker night with some celebs.
I think I know that story.
That's right, kid. You know the one. Poker night was poppin', and I was on fire.
I think you probably set the record for the most money won by a person at a card table.
Ha! You have no idea, my friend. That night, I cleaned house - took those celebs for everything they had! It was a night to remember, that's for damn sure.
Have you ever thought about going into politics?
Politics? Hell no! I'm not about makin' small talk and kissin' ass to get re-elected. I'd rather stick to what I do best: wheelin' dealin', takin' risks, and livin' life on the edge. Besides, in politics, they don't have poker nights - now you're talkin'.
So what’s your morning routine look like? Do you drink coffee? Tea? Juice?
Espresso, kid. It's the lifeblood of this operation. I start every day with a cup or three, then hit the pavement, makin' deals and breakin' balls.
Do you still do the poker nights? Or have you moved on to something new?
Poker night's still in my veins, kid. I like to mix it up and keep things fresh, so I also enjoy other games - like golf, or sailing.
