[STORE]Again the Crazy Guy Selling Chests (#1 and #2 Series)
Howdy Mister, you're probably curious right now, after that Weirdo Title. Yes, This is the Ultimate Chest Store, THE CHEST EMPORIUM (i may even do a logo for this)
But Why would i want a CHEST?!
Really Nice question Gentleman. Please take a look to the merchandise and you'll understand why these chests are (a little) valuable.
Chests #1 and #2 (Ahh the Nostalgia)
Series #1
Lost Treasure of the Ivory Isles
Series #2
Treasure of the Deep Druids
http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/a/a8/Treasure_of_the_Deep_Druids.png
Both are Currently Discontinued.. (AKA they don't drop anymore) they're the very first chests that our lonely backpacks saw..
They have a 2% Chances of Dropping Unusuals, double that current regular chests... well that just a really established myth you'll say...
You're RIGHT! as you said, it's a Really established Story, and most of users will tell you that this information it's correct. Even Dota 2 Wiki says. I tend to think that probably VALVe wanted to reward for the first buyers (and supporters) of this game.
Second: They are the only source (besides trading) of: Strange Runed Ailettes (Rare) and Strange Visage of the Ivory Isles (Also Rare) Both items replaced on #3 and #4 series.
You may buy these as a source of all i've already mentioned, or JUST for the Nostalgia.. as a Collector, Save em to tell your grandchildrens "This were the first chest of that huge game we know as Dota nowadays.." and then Drop it on the Sea. ^Ba ^dum ^Tss
So the chests doesn't look so ugly (as Dark Seer) now right? Oh they Still Do? Still... you want em, you don't know why, it's just that Sex Appeal they have.
I've heard on TF2 market A few Limited Crates are a Luxury Item, i can't confirm that's gonna happen on Dota 2 Trading Market.. but there's a chance. Who knows.
Series #12 - Treasure of Champions (More Nostalgia!) http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/thumb/a/a7/Treasure_of_Champions.png/300px-Treasure_of_Champions.png
Now This is a Real Collector Thing.. Unlike #1 and # 2 Series this chest, can't be used.. Supposed to expire when The International 2012 Ended, so i had to keep it on an Alt Account. This means you can't open game client on the account you have this chest. Once you start client, they will dissapear, like dust in the Wind. Still... they're a part of the Dota 2 Hisory, and we will always remember them as the Source for the (Unboxed) Lockjaws, Drodo and Smeevils.
I only own ONE of these, they had a Partner Named Tresure of the Challengers (Wilsooon!!), sadly i couldn't Save his Buddy and he disappeared on the Eternal Heaven of GabeN.
Last But not Least.. our recent Buddy
Series #17 - Ghastly Treasure of Diretide
Same Story as International One.. can't be used. Only dropped during Diretide (Halloween) Time.
Have some of these... (Can't remember the exact number) Around 5 or 6. He will remember of the Hard Times of Farming Diretide. (No movie reference Joke on this One ):
Pricing
Well.. this is a Store Right?
I'm Selling these kids, about a Price on them... well that's kinda hard to tell since no one is trading Crates, but as a Piece of the History of our Beloved Game i'll rate em 1:10 on #1 and #2 Ones. 1 Key for Each 10 of them. No particular ammount (By this i mean no 5 Furion Chests and 5 Juggernaut's Chests)
I don't sell em like that cause i have less chest of one kind. And if somebody will buy these.. they will want both of them (I guess) at least one.(9 Furion's and 1 Jugg's IDK)
As the Halloween and International one Goes.. well not sure, name your offer. I consider them more Valuable, cause they're from events.
Holy Wall of Text! I hope if you aren't interested at least enjoyed this piece of history.. and i really tried to make this reading fun and relaxed.
You had at least a good laugh and said "Look at this Crazy Bastard selling boxes..."
If you think i'm overpricing these stuffs, well.. It's kinda tricky to price em, and i believe double chances to get unusuals sounds Sweet.
Last lines, i don't have these on my Main Account, so.. if you want to check em, here's the link to my Alt.

#1 and #2 are on the last pages.. (There's exactly 112 now 47! of them) If you want to contact me, add me on my account that's noted on my flair.. not on my alt.. since i don't check much that one.
Sorry for my English, i'm sure you can tell by this large piece of post, that's not my Native (uga uga) Language.
