Nuts n' Bolts Mask of the Shaman: (2.7-3 buds)

Highly outdated price. Sold basically 1:1 with a Blizzardy Storm Bonk Boy (3-3.2 buds) in under a day.

My Trade: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/13242426

Screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/dmrAR4C.png | http://i.imgur.com/UWkCL1s.png

Calculations:

10% Unusual Overpay: 3.1 buds * 90% = 2.8 buds

2nd Previous Owner's Trade: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/12572943

Sold for a Circling Hearts Rimmed Raincatcher (2.2-2.5 buds) and Nuts n' Bolts Dr. Dapper's Topper (13-17 keys) (last comment)

Calculations:

10% Unusual Overpay: (2.35 buds + 15/22 buds) * 90% = 2.7 buds

-----

Conclusion:

Sold quite fast for a Blizzardy Storm Bonk Boy and therefore I believe that even this price may be a little low, but it is far better than the current one in place. Quite frankly the other trade happened in less than 2 weeks, so I do not believe it would be that hard to get 3 buds out of this unusual especially since it is possible for both trades to equal a little over 3 buds without unusual overpay and also assuming that their current prices are correct on backpack.tf

Additional Note #1:

Other one on the market has a buyout of 5 buds: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/12513867 and supposedly had received an offer of 3 buds, though there is no evidence of that.

-----

Additional Note #2:

For those who must know what I purchased it for, I received an add out of the blue to make an offer on my Strange Festive Grenade Launcher and Strange Festive Stickybomb Launcher. I do not believe this trade should be represented in the price since it was merely someone looking to get out of unusuals and buy something he truly wanted.

Blizz Bonk Boy isn't 3-3.2 anymore from what I see, IMO. B/O of 3 and many B/Os of 3.5, top pure offer lately was 2.3 last I checked (I did so like 3 days ago, I could be wrong)

PS: I read the 2 lines only. Your shit is too long for me to want to read the rest of it atm.

Now you know how I felt when you used to send me messages to read your proof :P

All three buyouts of 3 buds are less than a week old.

I find it hard to believe that unusuals that have been sitting around for less than a week could mean the price is outdated. Quite frankly its hard to say whether some have been sold for more in unusuals because its just so god damn hard to check with so many on the market.

Theres always something shady about prices of unusual that jump up so fast.

2shady4u even though it's not even shady.

Do i smell someone trying to raise their backpack value? :o

idk what you see, but all I see is "owns 0"

I'm trying to think of a cleverpun about Unusual Hard Counters...and I got nothing.

Edit:

Anyways its not really shady at all. It has to do with the fact that the Mask of the Shaman, in general, is a fairly rare unusual considering only 42 exist even though it was introduced into the game July 29, 2011. For perspective, the Dragonborn Helmet was added August 3, 2011 (4 days after) and there are currently 464 Unusual Dragonborn Helmets in existence. People invest in this unusual because of its rarity and tend to overpay believing that further down the line their investment will pay off.
