Not old effects

But he does need 2 sales still; it's a robo hat :)

Ah yes, forgot it was a robo hat

No he doesn't. Old effects on new hats don't. The rule is there because the new effects are really unstable but because old effects aren't unstable he does not need that even though it's a robo hat

"Unpriced hats – hats that have never had a proper suggestion or have no price

Two sales are required to establish a range on all new hats / hats with new effects"

Old effect hats have always had an exception, and I've started making exceptions for 2013 halloween effects. The issue is primarily with summer effects. There are loads and loads of summer effects still getting unboxed. Using a single sale is not appropriate there. But even 2013 halloween effect hats that are 1 of 1 with a single trade in the last 6 months might have a valid case for an exception. Their values will be stable since we won't have to worry about their value declining when more get unboxed.

needs to be more clarity in the guidelines then; as I had no idea of the exceptions to rules that moderators have in their heads or in forum posts but not certified in actual rules.

Except the fact that they're ugly and almost no one wants them.

in response to your post below, "needs to be more clarity in the guidelines then; as I had no idea of the exceptions to rules that moderators have in their heads or in forum posts but not certified in actual rules."

I had been working on a complete pricing guide for unusuals that was intended to give a full explanation for each rule with examples of exceptions, but the guide was running over 10 pages.... There are a lot of exceptions to different situations, and I have given up on providing examples for every one. We try our best to mirror what actually happens on the unusual market with our method of pricing and the reality is that there are no defined rules that apply to all situations as the unusual market is a dynamic / complex one. If you have any questions, you are welcome to post them in the forums.

power surge crone's dome is unpriced

But Electrostatic=Power Surge.

that's not how the economy works. that's not even how the game works :|

Take a look at any of the other "same effects" like the plasmas, confettis, or stormy effects; very rarely are they actually the same price

HAHAHA. So bold of you to say that. I applaud you for this.

That is like saying bu..bu... but GE = PE and Burning=Scorching. WRONG.

Any solds?

Couldn't find ones :P

EDIT : added 2 sales

Then why make a suggestion?

RADIOACTIVE MONKEYS EVERYWHERE!

What? ..

Dahell.

You need 2 sales, and I already have goat simulator cause I got it off the site, git rekt. Downvote

Regarding the suggestion itself, both sales involved here are just too complex to use. It's not appropriate to use a trade involving 20+ buds in value to price an item worth only 4-5. While a difference of +/- 2 buds matters little when the hat is 20 buds in value, it matters a lot here. Some more defined sales will be needed to price this
