Recently bought it for a Stormy Storm Cosa Nostra (from Spicy):

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20502195#latest

Spicy previously bought it from this guy http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20436315

for Miami L'Inspecteur + sweets: http://gyazo.com/dc8c5784cf8a0295647785f0a578735e

The Cosa is worth 2.3 so 90% of that is 2 buds. <- Low end price.

Spicy paid roughly 3.9 buds including the L'Inspecteur and sweets (worth around 13.5 keys). 90% of that all is 3.5 buds. <- High end price.

I'm not sure if I did everything right, let me know if I should change something, and then close and open another suggestion with improvements.

The Cosa is outdated

The Miami L'inspecteur is two months old too, that's basically outdated for a summer effect.

I'll look into that for you, you do a mini for the Cosa, and then maybe we'll have something we can work with :3

Yeah, the L'inspecteur's lower. See suggestion at 2.4.

If you do a mini-suggestion on the Cosa, I think 2-3 is a fairly reasonable range.

That said, this IS good work for a first suggestion :3

Well the L'inspecteur is indeed lower now but at the time it was traded, it was valued ~3 buds and I'm pretty sure both traders agreed on that.

Doesn't work like that, buddy :3

Yeah I thought so but it kinda makes no sense. If someone made the same suggestion some time ago, there would be no problem with accepting this price. Also, no one re-adjusts the price of a given hat only because the hats that its price was based on changed their prices, right? I understand that 3rd gen effects are going down as the hype is down but people will always like sunbeams as it's a top tier 1st gen effect and there is no reason for it to go lower :P

Btw, it's not like I'm trying to set the price 0.5 bud higher for my profit (cause it's not that much to me anymore) but that pricing logic/rules sometimes is plain stupid...

If someone had made the suggestion some time ago, then there would be no problem, yes. Because it would be some time ago, and the price would be accurate for then. You've made this suggestion now, when the price is no longer accurate, so we use updated prices.

And your second point is kinda moot. It FEELS like manipulation because you're making such a fuss X3

Yeah well I don't know, don't wanna argue anymore since I don't care that much. Just waiting for a mod to accept/close this suggestion while showing you how I see it ;)

sales/sellers on billycock:

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20790760 ~ 2 buds pure unless I missed something major in the sweets

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21203184 set his b/o to 3

no overpay on cosa since it was offered

stormy cosa mini:

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/18623814 last comment ~ 2.3

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21201017 b/o 2

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20454289 added a bunch for a peace modest, ends up around 2 I think

Unless I missed out on something major in the sweets, this should be 2-2.2, with the inspectur being an outlier

The trade happened on June 22.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20382243 - this trade was up when that happened.

So no, the l'inspecteur was not worth 3.5 buds at the time. Both sales are around 2.
