1 of 1. God tier - original effect. Personally I wouldn't sell this for less than 12 but suggesting starting price over 9 buds to get some sort of valuation.

Highst piced so far is Roboactive Unusual Platinum Pickelhaube 7.8–9 buds.

http://backpack.tf/unusuals/30042/Platinum_Pickelhaube. thanks

I've been offered 9 buds already but have no way to upload voice chat. ^^

Wait...god tier? This hat is a pile of crap...okay maybe the effect is okay :3

Nobody cares that you wouldn't sell for less than 12 and prices are not based on the value of other effects on the same hat. They are based on offers and what the hat has sold for.

Agreed.

2 sales rule.

It's recommended that you close this suggestion before it is closed for you.

Thanks for the advice. Can anyone show me where the rules are for suggested pricing. A link would be appreciated cos I can't find. cheers ^^

Check the other guides too

downvote lack of prooof

If every unique item (1 of 1) cannot have a value until it is sold it explains why so many items are 'no price set'. Doesn't that defeat the point of a voting based price system? When the next Halloween brings more effects and more 1 of 1s this will result in more items having no value as is the case with so many new effects. Ultimately this system seems flawed and will get worse as new unique items appear. Currently the 'new rules' seem to prevent any valuation for anything new that remains unsold therefore how can anyone determine the value of a unique item before selling it? If backpack.tf can't allow voting in this situation it seems to encourage people to make false sales to get a valuation, which can't be a good thing at all. Rules are rules I guess ^^

Use common sense when trading unusuals, not backpack.tf. prices for unusuals shouldnt be dictated by one site with prices that aren't updated enough.

I've seen that happen at least twice, and the users who faked those sales were actually banned.

There will soon be the situation here where most Unusual Hats have no price or valuation. Unless this community is able to vote on item value based on it's potential value with respect to other items/hats/effects then less traders will use Backpack.tf because most of the Unusuals listed will have no value which seems to suggest that the system is fundamentally flawed.

It's already becoming the case. Instead on backpack.tf being a source of item valuation it will be come the source of 'no valuation'.

e.g.

http://backpack.tf/unusuals/575/Infernal_Impaler

http://backpack.tf/unusuals/30106/Tartan_Spartan

http://backpack.tf/unusuals/30054/Bunsen_Brave

http://backpack.tf/unusuals/30014/Tyrantium_Helmet

The thing is that only handful of people suggests values for items on the site, and putting arbitrary values is what backpack.tf is originally blamed for. Everything since the system changed is going on fine.

I understand your concerns but no price is better than a bad price.

If you want a rough price use pricecheck.net, backpack.tf tries (!) to price hats as accurate as possible.

Fair comment - I guess when valuations are suggested at a reasonable value then it's a good thing, which is what I tried to do.

Anyone that attempts to fake trade or manipulate prices for their own gain should be banned and rightly so. Not only is it a form of cheating it undermines a community that's intent on doing something positive ^^

Cheers for all comments.
