I closed a suggestion for this hat 2 months ago... has it really been that long?

This hat needs a long deserved update, as the "current" price was set 8 months ago

SOLD 1 month ago

Trade notes say sold + 20 keys for beams hallmark (7.6-8.8), which would make it about 6.7 pure

8. http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7784174

SOLD 2 months ago

Probably sold for 5 pure

Conclusion: Two sales at 5 buds, two sales at 5.5, one sale at 6.7, one offer at around 6, one BO at 6. With this, I think it's safe to put the low end at 5 buds. As for the high end, I think 6 is reachable. The BO of 6 is a duped hat, so arguably people aren't wiling to spend that much on a duped one. However, link 7 shows that a clean one sold to a collector for around 6.7 pure, so 6 is probably possible. Thoughts or comments are always welcome.

Honestly, I don't like the looks of this hat, as depicted by the game.
