Prehistoric price. I’m going to try and update it in terms of USD so the bud amount is a bit lower than what I’m really suggesting. I’m presuming buds are $40 (http://tf2finance.com/ last updated $ value on the 23rd of June).

The lowest buyout currently on outpost is 6 buds (so $240 USD), trade has been open for 2 weeks:

The offers I thought were most noticeable are:

- flaming lantern tyrant’s helm, offer retracted, price was updated 3 days ago and is currently suggested as 4.6 – 5.3 here: http://backpack.tf/stats/99/5/37 ($212 USD mid-value =5.3 buds )

- Sunbeams pickelhaube, offer rejected, price was updated 3 months ago and is currently suggested as 4.6 – 5.5 here: http://backpack.tf/stats/50/5/17 ($218 USD mid-value = just shy of 5.5 earbuds)

Also: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9668604 (previous owner had a buyout of 6 buds three months ago. Presumably had a h'ween paint)

Traded mountain cap + added something? for a green fetti team captain, that price was last updated 2 months ago and is currently suggested as 4.6 – 5.4 earbuds here: http://backpack.tf/stats/378/5/6 ($216 USD mid-value = 5.4 buds)

Follow up: Looks like he traded the g. Fetti team captain for a scorching pot + 1 bud here: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/12166050

Final note: The unusual offers were suggested here in buds rather than USD so I'm guessing the $ value may be slightly overestimated. The green fetti tc trade confuses me a bit, not sure if it is undervalued here (scorching pot was updated recently to 6 – 7 buds, mid-value should be $260 if priced strictly in USD rather than $280).

I’m suggesting a $220 mid-value (5.5 buds) however bp.tf calculates it to be around 4.6 – 5.6 buds. The old mid-value price of this is around $211 USD. Feedback welcome due to my uncertainty.
