Front Runner @ 2 (sold) - http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/16240245, http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/16251691 ("1.9-2 as B/O"), relative to the drill hat's price considering it was offered

Offered a bud & 12 keys + sweets (approx 1.6-1.8 buds depending on sweets):

The owner of the trade is more than likely looking for only soldier offers or 2 buds, I can't guarantee that, but it's an offer

Sales (closed trades)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15963564 - 2 buds 1 month ago

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/16236606 - 1.8 buds 3 weeks ago (buds were 18 keys)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15638148 - Max's (2.2) 1 month ago

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/11429282 - Max's (2.2) 6 months ago, no guarantee it was sold

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9767147 - 42 keys 8 months ago, buds were taking a dip at that point, I'm taking it as about 1.8 (~23 key buds)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15718996 - 1.5 buds (outlier, kwiksail)

I am not sure if there are any better prices I could put out here, it's sold for 1.8, received offers for 1.8, also has been sold for 1.8/2.2.

Feel free to provide counter-proof, just know I went through all the histories of known drill hats...

Why does 1.5 count as an outlier? .-.

Because it is significantly lower than the rest of his proof, and that's because it was being quicksold (sold at "unreasonably" low prices so it gets bought quickly.)

2.2 should be an outlier since current B/os are lower than it, and you probably should include 1.5 in the range as well, since it took him over a week to sell

I didn't include 1.5 in the range as there was really only one sale on it -- plus, for such a lower-tier unusual wider ranges aren't usually the best. As for the 2.2 I thought this is what we could realistically sell for, not the current B/O's, though I could always be wrong.

Your points are good.

For the 1.5, he was offered a http://backpack.tf/stats/778/5/39 , which as you can see is ~3 buds in price atm. So him not accepting it was a matter of personal preference, it would seem. But buds have fluctuated a bit, so there's that to consider as well. And there are several 2.2s, are you referring to all of them or just a specific one? EDIT: Ninja'd dont hurt me (yes, I was working on this comment for over 30 minutes, this is the first price suggestion I've actively participated in)

the c. bubbles ushanka price is over a year old, so I doubt its too valid.

As for the 2.2 sales, polar bear said a week or two ago that any sales above the B/o trend are to be counted as outliers, and considering most of these trades have B/os of 2 or less, the one confirmed 2.2 sale should be counted as an outlier

After a quick tf2outpost search many bubbles ushankas are going at 1.5-2.0 buds.

Just saying, your points are valid.

There is currently a BO at 2 buds, which would make for a good high range. Also, some of your closed trades don't say what they actually sold for, so you can't assume it sold for the BO listed. You should also avoid very old sales, so the 6 and 8 month old ones aren't good proof.

Care to resuggest? With the new unusual storage system, you can suggest in earbuds price instead of have it suffer through USD conversions.

At the current price of buds, it's showing the new suggestion as 1.6-2 buds.

I do appreciate the remarks though -- and if you still want me to resuggest, I gladly will.

Please resuggest. If we accept this as is, the price of this will be stored in USD and will constantly change. We want to convert all unusuals to the new system where they will be priced in buds.
