This may be a controversial suggestion but I think a valid one.

The sell trade with the accepted offer.

I want to point out this:

This trade had plenty of exposure and anyone wanting this rare hat had a chance at it. It also never had a successful suggestion on it.

Could I have gotten more if I had accepted unusual offers?

Sure but that's part of the problem. Prices for unusuals start out high (hype price) and when we can't get the pure back out of it we swap for another hat with the hopes that we can get pure for that and so on it goes.

I did not do this trade intending to lose on it but I knew I likely would because I was working this hat in trade servers before and on outpost some and realized there was no demand for it. Most hats are overpriced but few traders will allow themselves to publicly take a loss on it so they work it and eventually we try to get 2 hats for one because cheaper hats sell for pure more easily.
