Your opinion of a hat is not sufficient evidence to raise its price so significantly. And you cannot gauge a hat's value based on buyout; only on what they are actually offered.

This is very poorly-veiled attempt at raising the value of the hat you just bought.

Downvoted.

Trades a month ago were getting a little over 3 buds pure and there was someone willing to trade their bubbling modest for it- a 3-4 bud hat, leaning to the higher side of 4. People were strongly considering taking the little over 3 pure offer as it was.

There might be room for argument on bumping it up to a 3-4 range, based on those prior trades. Unfortunately, compared to the last suggestion and some older trades, the only thing indicating your substantially higher suggested range are the buyouts, which don't have much meaning without people offering anywhere near them yet, and what you paid, which right now is looking like a substantial overpay. Especially when the next best offer on the trade you offered in was a green energy prancer's pride.
