Same arguement as for v.bigkill, all of these are duped so no need to keep the price as for unduped one. if unduped ever come to the market, the owner(collector) can decide the price by themselves.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8587957 CLEAN. 20 BUDS

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7729796 20 buds

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8472826 16 buds

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8378611 18 buds

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8029667 20 buds

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8563008 20 buds

The first one is definitely not clean... It's duped from when director got hijacked, that's a fact, lol. Check Director's BP from the last time it was public. It is still in there. The guy who sold david4008 the parasite was the hijacker himself, using a private profile alt with no hours.

b-but last time director's bp is open is in january. do you have the trade history from david to show the parasite was bought from an alt ?

he told me himself, lol :p. I don't have the history but that's what he said. I even added that user and he told me himself that they were from director.

He also had 2 Vintage Cubes from director and Adrelian

2 vintage gibus' from Director and Adrelian

and Director's level 69 vintage lid

I am currently upvoting but wonder if maybe it should be lower still, if that 18 bud one is still available a week after it was listed it seems unlikely 20 buds will be achieved.

20 buds for the clean nonduped one.

got it yeah :s sorry stuffing my face made me take my eye off the ball

nice suggestions but i'll stay natural .

dropping will be too sharp and the only reason is the duped version and 16 quick-selling , also 18 duped and saying "quick i need money"

better to wait some time for the clean one to see how it'll go .

clean one for 20 buds. enough to lower the price. and these are 99% duped so...

there's 4 duped 4 cleans . and the clean one here have no b/o now, he just changed his mind . probably someone told him change your note or so ..

but any chance to make it 18-20 really 16 too bad mate ^^

when he posted it, he have a b.o of 20 buds. I guess he changed after he saw this suggestion.

we have to take SS next times , i'll upvote but still i wish if it 18-20 instead

read comments on v. max but the first link is compelling (if you are telling the truth :P )

hey btw, if you decide to close this then give me a notification and I will close it myself because I want 100% suggestion rate :3

I asked brad and its not easy to find as I thought.

Well personally i would close it but Ill let another mod have a go since I dont want to be the only one enforcing the dupe rule

but what kind of owner owning a clean nonduped parasite in their right mind would follow the price of backpack.tf and I don't think they care about their bp.tf

Well bp.tf isnt setup for situations like this, so someone has to decide which to price at, clean or dirty. Im going to let another mod have a say on it also.

Well if unduped is never on the market, I think it's fair for the price to be based on dupes. If only some are dupes, then price should be on clean

you should accept this then :3

I think we really should have a separate price for extremely valuable duped items... but then again, anyone with such a valuable item will know whether or not it's clean and should price accordingly. Since no clean v.parasites are being sold, maybe pricing by dupes is acceptable? Still think there should be a note...

Also, http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8587957 - seems to have gone for a v.big kill + buds http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8638563

i already posted that http://i.imgur.com/dp4XTEB.png

Right... so assuming that parasite's clean (we don't know if it is), that would make the suggested price somewhat inaccurate

well director got hijacked. pretty sure it is duped

If it were duped, and still sold for v.big kill (21-25) + buds, then the suggested price would be too low -.-

but then there are many readily available at 16-18 buds and who know if a bigkill can even reach that price now especially when macro is selling his big kill for 17

Says the guy who set the previous v.big kill price :)

IDK, marco has some trading problems and his price is way lower than the others, could be considered a quicksell

tbh with you the only reason i put 21-25 is that it wouldn't be such a sudden drop that will make jon freak out and closed the suggestion

so uh any update ? :3

i'm sort of confused. i recently noticed a very sharp drop in the "giltched" vintage items and the market being flooded with them. Is it because there are currently being duped?

Agree strongly with price, http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/10850 approached me with his and wanted to trade it for my moon birdcage and harvest mancer. Additionally he purchased it with a burning baker from a suspicious private backpack. I would put this at 16-17 really, it's been duped so much and there are no real good offers on outpost.

Upvoting this, was just offered one painted white for my 2011 Strange festive set which I've set the buyout of 13 buds on. Seems a lot of people are willing to let it go cheaper because they have no patience to sell it. No proof as I was added on Steam and talked through there, but upvote this suggestion all the same.

Edit: Found the guy - http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8710804 - He has a buyout of 15 buds pure on it, so dare I say an even lower range, maybe 16-19?

please take out the "clean" as it might be a mislead as the item is duped and a clean one is worth much more.

My bad, I meant clean as in no gifted from message etc. Edited.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8709900 - quickselling for 12-13 buds

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8716288 - quickselling for 14 buds

Those trades are very new, so we'll have to see what happens with them. Because there really isn't a clean one on the market, for now, this price is acceptable.
