There have been 8 suggestions for this hat and all 8 failed, so the price has never been set. Let's see if we can buck the trend here...

2 B/O of 25 and 1 B/O of 23. However, this hat has received offers of 23-24 in pure multiple times. It also sold for 30 keys once, although that is clearly an outlier compared to all other sales/offers.

ACTUAL SALES:

30 keys - http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10102836

23 keys (25.5 keys in items) - http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9430118 - offered and accepted a SF huntsman - his B/O was 25

CURRENT TRADES:

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10329470 - B/O 23 keys

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10121311 - B/O 25 keys

Best Offer: 21 keys (black juju)

Best Offers:

23 keys pure

21 keys (23 keys in unusuals) – bubbling marauder + 6 keys

Some of the same offers as above

***Note*** - suggestion was for 23-24 keys but this was converted to 1-1.1 buds.

thanks bp.tf - when (if?) buds recover this hat is gonna be so overpriced...

Buds won't recover. Keys = $2. Buds = $35. Buds shouldn't be worth more than 18 keys. Only now are buds actually getting valued at what they should be. Same for keys. Keys should never have been worth $1.20 when they cost $2+ to bring into the market. You can thank scammer, carders for making keys cheap as they were. Only now are they where they should be.

damn good analysis, frankly. tho where buds are concerned there's nothing to control their price really, unlike keys which have a true market value in $$$s that's almost unassailable because they are for sale in the mannco store. buds could go to 5 keys or 30 keys based purely on fads. i don't think either will happen, but there's no controlled market for them.

But buds value has been stable for months. That's what controls their price. They've been $33-$35 for months. They WILL gradually increase over time. But they will drop to 18-19 first and then increase SLOWLY after that.

Fads work on a lot of items but not on currency like bills and buds. Trade volume is too high for a few speculators to drive prices.

sure - i'm just pointing out that there is no external check/balance on buds like there is on keys.
