I put lots of work into this, don't just click a vote before reading (unless it's a check, that would be nice)

Hello!

I used to own one of these bad boys, and it annoyed the crap out of me trying to sell it. An unusual without a price and a 3rd gen effect is not exactly a popular hat. But, in the end it was sold for $69 on the market ($60 for me, $9 for Valve and Steam), equal to 24 keys (since I used that money to buy 24 keys). Granted, I had also put a strangifier on my unusual, which rose its price. Old trade thread: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19540446#latest


Now, since the last time I checked, Kill-A-Watt Big Chiefs have not been on outpost as much. This is the only one I could find: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19416778 This is proof he has had it for at least 4 months http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/18648269

Obviously overpriced at 2 buds, had it for probably more than 4 months :P Well, at least I can congragulate him for unboxing it himself.


Next guy: http://www.convictgaming.com/viewtopic.php?f=755&t=34421 Here he is showcasing his Unusual Kill-A-Watt Big Chief, saying he prices it at $79 or 2.3 buds. And he says it's 20% off! XD Ok, so the last record he had of selling this on Outpost is here: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/14735074 I cannot find any record of him having sold it already except for the fact that it is no longer in his backpack: http://steamcommunity.com/id/JustAnHonestTrader/inventory/ Now, he may have brokered it (given it to someone to sell it for him and give him some of the pure) and doesn't have it at the moment, but I have no proof of that. It may be out there or it may not be. When did he sell it? Did he sell it? No idea, but it's most likely still out there because of its bogus price, the fact he couldn't sell it in the 3 months his trade was open and that on the first link I gave you of this guy was posted in late December of 2013 (look in the bottom right corner of the showcase)


Well, this is old. First guy ever to sell it: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/12965050 Just thought it would be cool to post. Sold for 3 buds due to the hype about new unusual effects. This was the last time th ehat was ever heard from on Outpost http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15126516 , apparently sold for 2.2 buds. The current holder http://www.tf2outpost.com/backpack/76561198050468373 is not trying to sell it, the thing is just sitting in his backpack, either because he likes it or it's just too much of a pain in the ass to sell.


http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20289323 This guy was selling for 23 keys. Only one near the new price so far, but the trade was expired due to inactivity :/ This probably would have sold, had the trade not expired.

Any other traces of the unusual that have proof have not been revealed to me. Please see it you pute a nice little check next to this.


Also I have been asked, why the 20 keys in the range? That was a typo, meant to put 23! Sorry guys, that's one thing I can't edit, if need be I'll re-open this suggestion if it doesn't pass.

    So why is 20 keys in the rang? also anything over 3 months is too old.

      Typo, sorry

    A whole lot of content that could have been cut out here. :/

    "Well, this is old. First... not being sold on the Steam market"

    All of this could have been cut out completely, it's all irrelvant.

    Also, just remove the bunch of "READ"s in the front, we have suggestion previews for a reason.

      Your suggestion, compressed :

      http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19540446 - ~$69 on SCM, [strangifier adds no value at all]

      http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/14735074 - Sold for unknown value


      You only have a single recorded sale, not enough proof here. Find other solds before posting.


      Downvote.

        You want to know why I added that last bit of information? It was to show how scarce these things are. There are 10 in existance and I could locate 4, 3 of which were useful in this. I'll see you do better if you find this trade thread inadequate.

          10 is actually a fairly large number for an unusual. We've priced hats that are 1 of 1 before with multiple sales. And it's not my job to go out of my way to make a better suggestion than you, I'm not the one who wants to make a price on it. Don't call me out because you made a lacking suggestion.

        Part of this comment was taken to heart, thanks.

        Quick tip,don't start a suggestion saying "READ READ READ" as it looks like a troll suggestion. :)

          XD thx 4 tellin me, first suggestion ive ever made because I just found out how to make them.

          A lot of irrelevant information


          So where does 20 keys come from?

            The 20 keys was a typo, meant 23.

              then change it

                Can't change that aspect of it after the suggestion was posted. If this one doesn't pass I'll re-open the suggestion. Plus, it said that in the last sentence of the post. Don't just read the price, read the proof.

                  the first thing you do when discovering a mistake in your typing of the price should be to close the suggestion and re-open it with the correct price

                    Well, that's not what I did. When I do re-open it though, I hope you still put a check on it. Now, please, stop criticizing. I get the message: Typo = re-open.

                      I think you misunderstand, Nutshot is absolutely right. If you don't close and repost, you are wasting your time. The suggestion just won't pass, the price is wrong.

                      SCM evidence is only valid as supporting evidence, and your other sale is outdated. You have no valid proof.

                        You can't just say evidence is outdated. These things aren't in circulation these days. Y'know, why'd I even post this thread? Because I thought there were too many unusuals out there that didn't have a price. You know what? It was obviously a shitty idea, seeing all this criticism and nothing helpful. I'm NOT going to re-open this trade, I don't like being criticized for what I think is right.


                        BTW, this is the first thing I have EVER tried to make a price for. Cut me some slack, alright?

                          1. Yes, we can say the price is outdated. We have a maximum timeframe in which trades can occur until they're invalid.

                          2. Just because it doesn't have a price, doesn't mean you should try to force one.

                          3. Criticism is key to learning how to make better suggestions. If we're telling you what you're doing wrong, and you refuse to accept it, then of course it's useless because you refuse make it useful.

            i didnt read any of this

              Thank you for the useful input, it is appreciated.
