1 of 1, unboxed just a few days ago.
I paid a Green Energy Bonk Helm + Nuts and Bolts Bonk Boy so around 4 buds~
Here is a screenshot of my end of the trade history as proof. http://puu.sh/5NET8
I calculated using original mid price*.9 and it came out as 4.05, so his price is fine too
4:36 PM - Mr. Bucket: 2.5+1.5=4 btw
4:36 PM - Mr. Bucket: you siad it equals 3.75
4:36 PM - Mr. Bucket: lol
4:36 PM - Knifestormin: get a calculator lol
4:36 PM - Knifestormin: 3.75
4:36 PM - Mr. Bucket: huh?
4:36 PM - Knifestormin: ill even screenshot it bro
4:36 PM - Mr. Bucket: 2.5+1.5=4
4:36 PM - Knifestormin: wtf
did he really not know?!?
Knifestormin did this
(2.5 + 1.5) * .9 = 3.6
Bucket is doing this
(1.5 + 1.9 + 2.5 + 3.1) / 2 = 4.5 * .9 = 4.05
Buckets going off of the original mid value of the two while Knifestormin is either going off of original low end value.
Actually Knifestormin did it both ways, including mine. When he did it my way, he somehow got 2.5+1.5=3.75, which is the mistake he made
This unusual still needs 2 sold though since it has never been on the market before. Why shouldn't we count it as a robo/summer hat/effect?
No. He doesn't. It's 1 of 1, it's not a summer hat, or robo hat, or effect. it has the equivalent rarity of 2011 halloween effect hats. Summer/robo hats/effects are plenty. this, is 1/1.
So he doesn't need 2 sales for a hat that was just recently unboxed?
No. that's only for new effects or new hats that are unboxed. old effects are perfectly fine to price based on 1 sale; many 2011 halloween effects have based on that.
http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/3306-new-rule-regarding-unusual-suggestions-two-sales-rule/ - 3rd bullet point, "This rule primarily targets the following types of hats / effects: ... any hat recently available in unusual quality." So my point still stands. Maybe 2011 effects, but the rule wasn't created then.
This effect has been available to unbox for well over a year now, just no one has had the luck to get it. The recently available more pertains to new hats and effects that recently got the ability to be unboxed as unusual.
1. I hate you so much. I've been waiting for a Fetti Fed Fightin' Fedora for ages.
2. You need at least 2 sells to price a new item. It's a requirement so the site avoids pricing an item too soon and potentially under or over pricing it.Edit: Nvm #2. Apparently its okay to potentially under or overprice a new unusual if its an old hat with an old effect for some dumb reason.
Second Edit: Both hats you gave have prices that are 3+ months old. So it would be best to update those 2 before pricing this.
Wrong. You need 2 sales for NEW effect hats or NEW hats. Please read the rules instead of scanning.
Edit: your second edit is ALSO wrong. the "real price" is exactly 4. Again, READ the rules instead of scanning. You did not use original pricing. Please, just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.
In this context, "new" could refer to unusuals that were recently unboxed and didn't exist before, such as this.
I wonder how long till another one gets opened, since this one took like 1.5 years lol
Wonder what would happen if nice winter crates contained unusuals that only have fetti ;3
If nice crates rereleased all the retired hats, and had unusual Noh Mercies, Hazmat Headcases, Shaman, and Coffin Kits then people would go crazy :3
We still need a purple fetti, wonder how much longer that one will take, and why the fetti versions seem to be alot lower chance to unbox than the other effects.

Maybe you should listen to your own advice instead of acting like you know everything and have more experience with suggestions on this site.
And I was going off of original low end, not mid price like Bucket, when I made that edit. I have removed that after remembering it was mid value and not low end when calculating overpay.
2 sales is only required on New Hats and Effects. :P
Ehh... Got Ninja'd
Not like this is going to be unboxed or traded again soon... so here's an exception to the rule
