Goddamn it, i'm raising the price of a hat i own again. I would say its not for sale but apparently you guys think that's a clever ruse. I bought this hat for a burning phantom, and he added 2 crate 40's. That's valued at 7.8 by backpack.tf, which i think is a little low, but lets take it as that, which makes the offer 7.5 buds. Though personally I would value it at 7.7.

Lets take a look at some trades. I think the rarity of the hat has pushed up the price. http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/12211393

I believe he originally bought it for a roboactive tin gallon-which frankly is pretty hard to price check. (aside from the front runner i'm finding it hard to see what it sold for) Note that a burning (regular) texan goes for ~8.3 and a scorching one goes for 7.2. So i'll conservatively put that offer at 7 buds. Note that the person who sold his front runner for the roboactive tin gallon wanted to trade back. Possibly he decided he made a bad trade? I'll leave that up for you to decide.

Onto the offers!

Vintage medal-valued @ 8 pure. I imagine this would be very hard to sell so take that offer with a pinch of salt.

Ghost's Fez + 10 keys + Vintage Modest + Sweets.-Roughly 6.4~ buds

Hearts Reggae-WIll add but did not specify how much

[edit-looking at his other trade the reggae owner would add 1 pure]

-The reggae is roughly 6+- This guy has a (retracted?) offer of 6 pure http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/12139592- Therefore his offer is roughly 7 buds.

The owner of the front runner informed me that he was looking for the reggae owner to add 3 buds.

Purple Energy Hat With No Name-Has had some ~6-7 offers, such as a cloudy moon dapper, which had a retracted offer of 6.5 pure in cash.

Why is my proof so bad.

Onto his other trade (he relisted)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/12211312

G.E. Batter's+Smoking Bonk Boy+1 bud-

Batters was offered 4.2 (black max+2) apparently, but cannot see proof of offer. A couple of 3 bud+sweets offers, and a retracted offer of 3 buds+bmoc+ebenezer+key~3.6

Bonk Boy-Unsure of value, but offers seem in 2.5-3 range, so lets take it at 2.5.

Overall, this offer is roughly 7 buds.

Burning Trophy Belt-Roughly 7 buds-gets offered more in unusuals.

C. bubbles honcho + steaming modest-about 7-but the honcho's is a hard one to price, i saw an offer of 5 in unusuals.

Harvest moon Conquistador+20 keys-Looks very hard to sell, but has got decent 9-10 offers. (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8925347)-moon jeepcap+4

was involved in a deal for a beams tossle, unsure what exactly (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7094811)

a couple more offers in that range

Roboactive Fez-http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/12164523-offers in the 7-9 range

offered 5,6,7,8 pure. bidding ended cause user has been away for month~http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10958349

Front Runner owner declined.

And the links from the old price suggestion support the low range-http://backpack.tf/vote/id/51a4bfdbba2536bf73000014

In conclusion-Rarity is pushing the price up-I can only locate one other purple energy front runner aside from mine-and I believe the guy who owns it is the original owner, has never made a trade on outpost, only has 15 friends, and didn't accept my friend request, so I assume his is out of the question for selling.

Mine is not for sale either, until I decide to cash out. Meaning there is only one which may possibly for sale, and i can't locate them.

I hope my proof was up to scratch, I don't trade too much, so my idea of prices may be slightly of. By the way, to any front runner owners, use the indifferent style. It's so underused, and makes the hat so much better. Peace. Keep any comments civil please :)

Oh i forgot to mention, in 2 days the main trade got 5 bookmarks and over 600 views, showing the hats popularity.

Whoops again, missed out an offer of a scorching texas ten gallon, roughly 7-7.5
