8 RIDICULOUSLY Expensive Video Game Skins (We Totally Want)

Despite offering up cartoon-esque violence and a very comedic tone to it's preceedings, when it comes to Team Fortress 2's hat marketplace, it's a completely serious affair.

Thanks to the Sniper vs Spy update that dropped way back way in 2009, 9 hats were added into the game, birthing with it a new way to trade and compete for a variety of headwear. And while things got incredibly silly with items ranging from antlers to full grown bears to a rather horrifying collection of plague doctor styled gear, the prices charged for the outlandish Burning Flames Team Captain hate are by far the silliest thing going.

For a cool $15,000 you'll be able to don this bad boy online and be the envy of everyone on the server, and it's not just their jelous stares that will cause you to feel hot, as the hat also comes with a flaming effect showing off that you you're not just capable of burning through your savings.

It's a quality looking piece as well, giving off strong M. Bison vibes, but for many this was way too much cash to chuck on a hat.
