Why is this lower than Green Confetti and Circling TF? For almost every other hat, those two effects are considered lower than blizzardy storm. Yet, for this hat, it is the opposite. Some links (I am the owner of one of these, so I will not include my own as that would be plain bias.)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7872878 (has an offer of a scorching milkman [duped])

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8922892 (B/O is much higher than others)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9706128 (looking for more than 7)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9323008 (High B/O of 9)

You might tell me that "Oh, these guys aren't able to sell their hats for those prices", but I'd bet that the reason behind this is the fact that BP.tf prices it so low. If the price wasn't lower than green confetti/tf sign, these people would probably be able to sell for what they want. Blizzardy is one lower than stormy, so my price reflects on that.

And yes, there are some quicksellers. But there will always be pure quicksellers who sell much lower than bp.tf prices.

It's lower than G. Fetti and Circling TF because there are only a few Fetti and TF KEs around, while there are so many Blizz/Stormy KEs.

I see no solid proof. Best one I can see is HH + Max + 20 keys which equates to about 6 buds.

Downvote from me, sorry. You're basing your price increase on "Why should it be lower than G. Fetti or TF2 Logo?", which is not a valid reason. I own a Stormy KE, my best C/O is 6.5 pure right now, although Unusuals have gone around 7-8 buds, but you know, unusual overpay brings it down. And Stormy is generally agreed upon to be at least equal or better than Blizz.

Let me pull out some counter-proof:

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8849304 - Asking for just 6 buds. Unsold for quite a while.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8847688 - Says it's a 6.5 bud hat. Barely fits in the low range of your new suggestion, while it fits just right in the old suggestion. Dubious.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9601875 - Also selling for 6 buds.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9041491 - Looking for 6.5

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9719447 - Just 6 buds.

Need more proof? I think having that many "quicksellers" means that...they actually arn't quickselling.

In the tf2 economy, since when has quantity been in an issue? It's always been quality over quantity. For this hat, it's a well-liked all-class + a mid tier effect. Even with the numbers, it's a more noticeable and better-liked effect than g. fetti or TF sign.

Quantity has been an issue for quite a while. I offered a 1:1 (my Stormy KE for his TF2 Logo KE), and was rejected. Quantity is more of an issue than you might think.

If people are wanting 6.5, why should it be higher than that?

The reason that this is far lower than fetti/logo is because new effects are 10 times more likely to be unboxed than old effects.

Then you would have to significantly drop the price of stormy storm KE to reflect that. The reason bp.tf is looked down on by some traders is because of its inconsistencies.

Why do we need to drop the price of Stormy Storm KE? I've gotten C/Os of 7-9 in Unusuals, and my top C/O is 6.5 pure, which fits in the suggested 6.4-7.4 range. Yes, I *could* be an outlier, and the true price is only 5-6 buds, but I'm not going to bother searching, since this isn't a price change for Stormy KE. Likewise, no need to drop the price of the Blizz KE.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9426654 - Sold for a burning Festive Tree minus 1 bud = ~6.4 buds

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8669774 - had a buyout of 7 buds, no idea if he got it. Did not have it met after 2 weeks.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9652044 - sold for a stormy 13th hour Tippler's Tricorne = ~6.3 buds

Those sells are still better than the current price according to bp.tf (lowest being 5.3). I'd be willing to amend this price to reflect that the lowest would be 6.3.

I would have it lower than 6 buds due to the amount of unsold buyouts that are at 6 buds in Joe's links.

I believe the first link is Burning Tree for Blizz KE + 1 bud, not Burning Tree + 1 bud for Blizz KE. Just FYI, but it's still good proof that there is no need for the price to go up.

Yes, you're right. That's what I meant, but I typed it wrong!
