I may fail at pricing all of them at once, but I will succeed at pricing them individually.

Conclusion: Before you say something stupid like "Not enough proof, downvote", take a look on the market first. This thing is so rare now. Demand > Supply because supply of craft hats went down and it's reasonable for this thing to rise. And it's clearly seen that 1.66 is the most commonly trading price.

Feel free to counter / support my proofs.

    Well, you already have my sale up there. All I can really add is that it sold in ~1 day. My trade history shows it was gone on the 23rd.

      Yea. Thank you for being a real big proof for most of my hats suggestions!

    Sellers:

    http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20850182 - 1.33

    http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20853524 - 1.66

    http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20801052 - 1.66


    rest are craft numbers lol.


    Still not sure if 1.33-1.66 wouldn't be better. ;)

      http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20850182 - Kinda young.

      And 1.66 is much better.

        Yes it's young, but all your solds are 1 week old already so I'm not sure if it reflects the current price that good.

          Yes it is, I'm sure about that. And 1-week is not really old for such rare items.

            Craft hat > rare. Please. I won't argue that it's not super common but this is surely not rare. And lol don't try to convince me with just your words. :P

              With less than 1 Outpost pages of valid sellers, I guess it isn't rare at all.

                Less then 3 trades is rare, 5+ not. :P We may have different viewpoints on this but that's no excuse for you to not provide more recent proof, because I'm 100% sure there would be enough available.

                You have to consider the bread box hype back then. You can't base your price solely on a one-time spike in demand that's long gone by now.

                  Yes I can.

                  Please, read the conclusion again.

                    What kind of conclusion is that? Sure the supply went down, and so did the demand as the profit from the items you get via bread boxes doesn't incentivize making them anymore. It's beyond blue-eyed to consider the assumption that the demand would stay contant this late after the update a conclusion, it's not even an educated guess.

                      You forgot 1 thing: hats can be used to wear, too, not just craft.

                      The supply went down, yet more people play TF2 and there will be more people who think "Hey, this hat look cool, maybe I should buy it to wear on my head!". The demand is growing steadily like that, so the price will go up.

                        And the demand for wearing increased suddenly after more than a year being shit/craft hat tier? :P

                          Key word: "Steadily" :P

                            And that's not all, I will quote from Plax:

                            "Many things can be said about what will happen in the future, but Backpack.tf is mainly created to price all the items and to keep up with the market. Assumptions like that are not valid. I can put up an assumption on a currency and price it entirely on my assumption with no proof/anything to back it up. Would that be valid? Of course not. We don't know what will happen in the near future. It may plummet down to 1.33 or it may not (due to supply decreasing). What we can't do is not update the price of craft hat and let market play it out. Backpack.tf was created to inform others about basic guide price for an item and to keep up with that guide. Many people follows this site whether completely basing the price off of this site or using it as a guide. Not updating the price would only misinform others about the current market price. ^.^"

                            You may miss the main point of backpack: to price and to catch up with the market and not to let the market play itself.

                              If you would have made the suggestion a week ago I would have no problem with accepting it. :P

                                Yes, I did that a week ago.

                                But failed because mods took a real long time to decide what to do with it and in that time, market had changed. Most of my efforts had been put in there. All of my proof from recent suggestions are from there, too.

                                  That doesn't change the current situation of this suggestion at all. :P

                                    My point still stays.

                                    1.66 is still the most commonly trading price for now.

                                      Keyword: Now. And you have 1 link of proof of recent valueable proof which I provided. So yeah I won't accept this atm, but neither deny, just waiting for more proof to appear.
