I was recently added by a person looking to sell one of these, and I was unsure of what to offer on the hat. The price seemed extremely high when compared to that of Scorching and other effects. I did some research and found that the price of the hat seemed seriously incorrect based on the current sales.

B/O: $280

C/O:

10 Pure (2 Week Ago) (Only has 3 buds in BP)

7 Buds (1 Week Ago) (Selling is "Considering")

Scorching Flames Ten Gallon + SF.Wrench :- 6-7 Buds (1 Week Ago)

$230 (2 Hours Ago)

Previous Trades:

Sold for Hearts Samur-eye + 4-5 Buds :- 9.6-11.4 Buds

On further consideration the range may be better set at 8-11 due to the single buyer offering 11, even though the guy does not have that much in his BP.

Range is pretty big. Maybe resubmit with smaller?

8-11 would be pretty large, however, this person who added me was willing to sell for 8 buds in the end, so I would say that's the bottom price. I cannot prove this unless I can figure out how to retrieve the chat log.

Range can be bigger on higher value items like this

Okay. It's just, the previous ranges are ~1 bud.

looks like the previous suggestion had some shaky proof too

My main issue here is that the low range is rather low compared to the one confirmed trade here. Though I may be nitpicking.

I based my low estimate on the current offers on the existing trades, and the fact the owner of the first listing was considering a genuine offer of 7 buds. I also had a seller offer the hat to me for 8 buds 10 keys, however, this is no account of proof as I cannot recover the chat log. Re-submitting with a higher median range might be considered, but the offers on the first trade listed seem to support the lower range.

This hat is a tricky one, but I think the fact that the burning price is twice that of the scorching price signals that something is wrong with the existing price. Especially when you look at how sketchy the previous price suggestion was.
