I've owned this hat twice. This is not a crazy price bump, all it does is make the range a bit easier.In all honesty, imo this can sell for more. Regardless, I have proof.

Some things:

unusual hat search only finds 6 despite there being 8.

One is in QP0NDE's hands

One is gifted

One is in the hands of the original owner

One is in the hands of someone with no tf2outpost who's had it for 11 months

One is in the hands of someone who has been online for 5 months

One was just traded by me hands.

I bought this hat for 6 buds recently and bought it for a Planets TC the other time I owned it (he added 6 keys sweets). Leaving all my cards on the table, I have nothing to hide.

Lets go way back!:

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/5111577 - Sold for Lantern Reggae, currently listed at 6.5-7.5. Mind you, this is during halloween hype.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6449485 - Offered many, many good things. 7 pure, O fire veil + 3, 6 + Planet Larrikin, No word on what it sold for, might have been 7 based on one of his other trades.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8446283 - Offered 6 buds in items, a Stormy veil + 2, and eventuallly sold for $225 in cash which is actually 6.8 buds considering buds at $33 (tf2finance's price)

The person who bought it for $225 ended up selling all of his bp for cash to the owner before me, so not sure how much it was really sold for.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8700089 Offered about 5 buds, asked the person to add a S. Machina, but I snagged it first for 6.

Here is what I bought it for: http://gyazo.com/295b9a6190b36e4c4b99d3c923dadf3c 6 pure

Here is what I sold it for: http://gyazo.com/9be142d7e469e292a61db4a2cf1001ac 4 buds, Bubbling Attendant, and O. Fire Milk man which is 7 buds, maybe a bit less considering unusual overpay.
