Let's be honest with ourselves. These are dropping like crazy, and no one has sold for 19 buds in months. This is probably due to the increased supply as many people dupe, and decreased demand as the collectors get what they want. One is being sold at 13 buds, a few more are being sold in that range. Even though many people try to sell at 18 or 19 buds, they don't get offers anywhere near that (even the "clean" ones).

"Needs proof of non-duped c/os. Im not lowering a price based off of duped trades no matter how low they may be."

See the search.

I've been around some of the cubes on the market as I've been offered them on stuff, the two I know about:

1. clean one sold for Harvest Mancer + Moon Mancer (that's 19 on lower end bp.tf pricing)

2. duped cube + 1 for Burning Brigade (15-18 here, easy 16-17+ to get)

That range starting at 13 is pretty bad.

How long ago was that? Do you have actual proof, rather than simply word of mouth?

I just got a clean one for around 20 buds in unusuals. I've only had it for 2 days and yesterday I got an offer of 16 pure in Pink Tacos unusual trade server. Clean ones are not 13-15. Downvote.

Lol of course your going to downvote this post. You have a cube! Seriously this price has dropped significantly duped or not duped. One sold for a Scorching Stash another 13 pure. Stop highballing your ht this price is realistic. Upvoye to you Macro. Also look aroun there are no good offers on cubes anymore...

One person quicksold a duped one for 13 buds and now thats the price? I guess we should apply this logic to everything now. Honestly I don't care if this passes on backpack.tf or not. It still won't influence those selling clean ones to drop down to 13 buds. Definitely won't change my mind.

Actually the 13 bud one is non-duped.

Could you please link me to the clean one that is being sold/was sold for 13 pure? None of your links provided show this.

First link, http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8251891

"this is a clean, vintage pin, has a short owner history"

"**QUICKSELLING FOR 13 BUDS PURE** ADD ME FOR TRADE**"

I stand corrected. Guess I will have to hold onto mine for 6 months or so untill demand drives the prices of rare vints back up.

quicksales go for lower price than what the item is actually worth

If one person selling cube for 13 buds it doesn`t mean that the item is actually worth.

Clean one + 1 bud sold for cloudy moon el jefe.

Clean one + 1 bud sold for mega duped cloudy moon el jefe.

FTFY

. I would like to point out that a dupe does not lower the value very much. Certainly not ~5 to 11 buds.-your words

backpack tf2 says cloudy moon el jefe 23-27 buds

Backpack.tf clearly thinks that it does, as you all have told me multiple times since that suggestion.

Also you have one in your backpack ;)

seriously people with vintage cubes should stop trying to manipulate the price. i understand that they don't want to lose buds or whatever they spent on it, but they have to face facts it's not in demand anymore atm

Not much they can do but comment. There's only like 20 active traders that own one, and when other people vote they are outweighed.

I understand what it's like to own something and have the bubble pop on you, it's not fun -- but it can be avoided if you just research first. People have been pawning these off for 13 pure for months now. The only reason they get bought up is because of the ultra-high price here.

So yea, I'm hoping this gets accepted. :|

If i founded it (http://tf2tp.com/trade.php?trade=9065190) It`s mean that Secret to everybody TC 30 buds?

Relevant how?

Robez you need to face the facts. The pin isnt worth it anymore, i myself have declined 4 offers of it already on my Kabuto

Why you can`t see my proofs?(also knight day bought one for harvest ballcap+Burning Minning Light)

It's not about price manipulation, its supply and demand with whats available on the market. Just 6 months ago it was 21-22 buds. But back then there were very few people selling theirs (duped ones too). So people had to pay more to get them out of the owners hands. Now with this craze of everyone holding onto their buds not only are rare vints but many high tier unusual owners are resorting to "quicksells" to move them. These rare vints will bottom out in price over the next month then slowly rise back up becuase those with them will eventually rather keep than sell for less. And lets face it, unlike unusuals, no more clean ones of these are getting unboxed. These will always be rare.

Thanks anyway for interesting discussion about it and Gl with your suggestion :D.

Thanks! Even if this gets accepted, they're bound to go up eventually. Just hold out and I'm sure you'll get plenty out of yours. :)

agreed, just gotta make it rare :)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8251891 QS for 13 buds

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/5823426 added 1 bud + (not strange) festive set 2012 for this hat (cant judge this, but probably safe to say not 15+)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7814419 1:1 with eerie bomber (again, cant judge this, looking at past offers, nothing stands out as 15+)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7797177 owner sold his cube for this 2:1 set, only trade that supports the other suggestion.

Since all of these were trades of CLEAN cubes, I will accept this suggestion.
