I payed 9.2 for a gifted Lantern + Cloudy coupe if you do the math a non-gifted coupes would come out to 12.3 because it is gifted! i price the moon at 8.3 so the lantern should be set at 4 buds!

So ... lantern > Burning ?

It can happen. Buyers arent strict on effect tiers. But i would like to see more then this for price change.

He had wayy better unusuals for selling before hand, but if thats the only coupe for sale in awhile then whatever he paid is right.

Would like to know how he derived 12.3 for non gifted.

And wow current price seems very underpriced.

backpack.tf takes 25% off for gifted unusual so if you do the math

9.2/75 x y/100 = 75x/920 = x/12.3 = 1

I hope you understand the math (:

Using the current price of a Moon Coupe(~6.15 mid price), a gifted Moon Coupe is worth 0.75 * 6.15 = 4.6 buds. You paid ~9.9 buds with overpay for both.

9.9 - 4.6 = 5.3 buds for the gifted lantern coupe. Non-gifted price would then be (4/3) * 5.3 = 7 buds for a clean lantern coupe.

Cant use the current moon coupe price it is just as old and rare.

"At the very least the moon coupe needs to be updated to determine the true price of the lantern coupe." - Me

The same can be said if i tried to up date the moon as this is the only recent trade :/ besides cheesus quicksale of his whole backpack...

It all depends on the moons value. It is obviously more.

I can settle with 4 to the lanturn coupe and 8 to the moon.

But it would be great if you make a range to give some room because it was all unusual. Using low end of the unusuals used and the .9 of the middle of the unusuals used.

But i cant deny that the lanturn is worth wayy more then bp.tf says it is

The coupe is a collected unusual there is a huge supply of burning coupes to any collector that wants it. But there it is not the case for lantern coupes there are verry few out there i waited 6 months for 1 to get on the market! This is why lantern in this case is over burning yes

Not like that's unrealistic. The Hetman's Headpiece has Circling Heart above Scorching and Sunbeams, but not Burning.

OH MY GOD WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WOULD YOU DO THISSSSSS

Edit: the price of 8.3 is for none-gifted for the moon

All those unusuals for 2 coupes, ~~one~~ both gifted. This is too painful, I can't look anymore.

Gifted moon coupe is not 33% more expensive than a clean moon coupe.

Backpack.tf automatically takes off 25% for gifted unusuals...

Yes, and you added 33% to your appraisal of your moon coupe for some reason, despite it being gifted.

That "New" range jump...

This price has not been updated for a VERRY VERRY long time so yes it is expected

Cloudy coupe is atleast 6 what are you trying to say?

I think you paid too much there buddy.

The demand is decent with the supply being almost none...again when i bought this it was the first one sold for over 1/2 year!

1 of 1 on the market. He technically paid too much in our eyes but what he paid is its price. I just want to know how he came up with 4 buds in the end

A man that understand the market (=

At the very least the moon coupe needs to be updated to determine the true price of the lantern coupe.

Same can be said when I try to update the moon the lantern needs to be updated to determine the price of the lantern

I meant with other trades besides your own. But it appears there are no others.

G Fetti Kabuto (1.4–1.9 buds) + NnB Reggae (15–19 keys) + Peace Phantom (1.9–2.2 buds) + GE Brigade (3.1–3.7 buds) + Bubbling Exec (2.8–3.3 buds) = 9.9 - 11.9

Cloudy Moon Coupe (6–6.3 buds - 9 months old)

You paid a lot, if you ask me.

For those who are interested, this is the other trade with a Cloudy Moon Coupe and a Lantern Coupe http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/12755938

It's in his backpack for months.

Some may say I paid alot but the only one i could get. I started collecting coupes after my streak of luck in October. My first coupe being my secret(Stored in an alt atm). After that i kept trading earning more and more to collect. I then went for the eerie coupe for 3.5 pure then i went to get the harvest ect. ect. The matter of fact is the demand on Halloween effect coupes are there but there is little to NO supply. Which means the supplier can put what ever bullshit number he wants and the demand will have to pay up.

Isn't that called price manipulation? Besides, why are you SELLING these coupes right after you paid these sellers "bullshit buyouts" in the first place? If you are cashing out why invest in these in the first place?

Something smells fishy here to me.

After completing my collection trading got how to put it...Like tasteless food...I deiced after completing my collection just to stop trading. As I can only where one coupe on my head I picked my most cherished coupe (the one that got me to start collecting) also another thing not noted is in my alt i have a couple keys set a side and my secret coupe incase i want to start up again (: . Also another thing that pushed me to cash out is some unlucky unboxes. there is not much else i can say to prove to you that this pricing is nothing else than me wanting to get out.:/

Doesn't change the fact that you're trying to quadruple the price of an item you have listed for sale, with only your own high payment for the item as proof.

Sounds more like buyer's remorse than a proper suggestion to me.

I'm seeing no other offers even reaching the 4 buds.

I went in knowing very well that this is my only chance to get this coupe! I have a 3 of the 5 other owners add the other ones i could not contact or could not find...this may very well be the only lantern coupe that will be trade in a year or more imo.

Mmkay, still staying neutral.

dat range.

Cannot agree with you here... Anyone can gift a hat. You definitely over payed.

Sale > Opinion

And its the only one in a long time

Again a man who knows market...

Its very clearly an outlier though, no one else would ever pay that much for it. Just like how quicksells are not valid proof for pricing, overpaying shouldn't be either (see, the anti freeze KE a while back).

Who knows if someone else isnt going to pay that much, you have to focus on recent sales and thats the only one and was 1 of 1 for sale.

Offers know if anyone is going to pay that much, and he has no offers coming even near 4 on his trade.

Just because there is no offer now does not mean there will be one soon...I mean you can't predict the future.
