inb4 "Price Manipulation!!!!11!"
I am not selling my whoopee cap. The only reason why I am raising the price is due to the fact I have been so involved in monitoring the hat's price that I know that the current price is really low.
Price is 3 months old, I am pulling things from as far back as April 21st, so it is at least more accurate.
But in all honesty this whoopee is is highly wanted, and with a limited supply at any given time this hat has risen within the last 3 months. The hat's price is dictated by whoever is selling for pure, and currently that is ONLY Yuuni.
1) [url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/11065751[/url]: While looking for a whoopee to buy, I tried offering on Yunni's whoopee, and he rejected my offer (of three buds and some keys) and said if I paid 3 buds and 8 keys he would accept. Mind you his hat has NOT sold for the 3 buds 8 keys yet, so that is why I did not put the price in my range. However if this price was taken, that would have been 3.33 buds.
2) [url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10655940[/url]: This person sold Yuuni his whoopee, and from what it looks like someone did offer 3 buds 5 keys, so yuuni must have paid as much as that or more for it. At the time of this sell and/or offer buds were valued at 22 keys, so 5 keys on top of 3 buds would actually be 3.22 buds. However now with buds at 24 keys, that would be 3.21 buds.
3)[url]http://imgur.com/a/RXM74[/url]: This trade was my friend, who bought his whoopee at 3 buds, 6 keys, and 3 ref. At the time it was 3.27 pure, but now it would be valued at exactly 3.25 pure.
4)[url]http://imgur.com/a/RcEfi[/url]: This trade was mine, and I paid pretty cheap for the hat. I paid a clean max's head, 12 keys, and a black vintage tossle. At the low end, the max is 2.2, plus 12 keys and the vintage tossle at 6 would ring up a 2.95, and at a high the max is 2.4 and the 12 keys and tossle ring up at 3.15. Taking a mid range that would be 3.05 buds. Mind you I payed no where near how much I thought I was going to need to pay (I was going to take the 3 buds 8 key offer on yuuni).
All in all, the price has risen due to the fact that it is a nice looking and a wanted hat, but since there are not that many on the market people are not very willing to sell it cheap. I will add any proof that I find and please, for the love of god, don't just downvote because I own the darn hat. If anything it makes me MORE qualified as I have gone through the process of offering, bartering, looking at other people's trades etc.
Let's make a reader's digest version, shall we?
http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/11065751 Rejected 3 pure + sweets
http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10655940 Paid somewhere around 3.2 for it
http://imgur.com/a/RXM74 Sold for 3.25, or 3.3 buds in terms of bp.tf rounding
http://imgur.com/a/RcEfi clean Max head + 12 keys + Vintage tossle = 3.1 buds
Sale at 3.1, Sale at 3.3, Offers over 3 buds commonly. Upvote from me.
