Price resubmission to add minis on hats that are unpriced, as well as some more supporting data for outdated hats and to fix the range.

Okay guys, this hat is 1-of-1 in existence, to which I am the current owner with no intentions of ever reselling. I am completely okay with the suggested range. If any of my calculations are in error, please let me know and I will fix as soon as possible.

Here is my proof:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sale 1 (My Purchase)

Searing Plasma Trophy Belt (2.4 Buds) + Miami Nights War Pig (4 Buds) + Morning Glory Master’s Yellow Belt (14.6 Buds) + Strange Construction PDA (.6 Buds) + Strange Festive Wrangler (.15 Buds)

Total = 21.8 * .9 (overpay) = 19.58, Rounded up to 20 for neatness.

Additional Supporting Proof

A few more points to note. A few of the hats in the offers have outdated suggestions.

Found a recent sale in which a Cloudy Moon Ushanka was traded 1:1 for a 1-of-2 Frostbite Company Man. That's quite the 1:1 trade. Obviously it doesn't help all that much in this situation, since the Company Man does not have a price, but something tells me that hat will probably be worth >8 Buds.

Before: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198058279723?time=1420704000

After: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198058279723?time=1420704000

I'll keep digging for more proof on the Ushanka and post more data in the comments as it arises. Nothing indicates to me that this hat has dropped, but if the data shows otherwise, it will be changed.

Also, on the Haunted Ghosts Yellow Belts:

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/24420774

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/24456508

Two different Haunted Yellow Belts, but both sales share something in common: A user has offered a GE Attendant as a 1:1 for both hats, and on both offers is pending approval. The GE Attendant is currently priced at 6.73 buds, or 6.03 after overpay is applied. Should one of them sell for that, or even if the offerer adds in a bit more, it would solidify the price.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once again, if an error has been made in my calculations, kindly let me know and I can fix and resubmit the price suggestion. Thanks a ton you guys!

Secondary note on the sale involving the Cloudy Moon Officer's Ushanka:

The Frostbite Company Man that was 1:1d for the Ushanka just went up on tf2outpost.com with a 10-bud buyout. Once again, I recognize that buyouts cannot be used as solid proof, but it's somewhere to start, as the other Frostbite Company Man in existence is not for sale and still belongs to the unboxer.

In the last suggestion, I disregarded sale two as an outlier, but I recently discovered information on the Anti-Freeze Larrikin Robin that shows its price range is ~5.5 buds. This bump was sufficient enough to bring that sale into range, which has become the low end for this hat.

Also, I added in the other supporting data for the outdated price on the Towering Pillar of Hats, which also brought the price up a slight amount.

If there is anything else I need to find for this submission, let me know and I will research it.

The fact you have no previous accepted suggestions and went this in depth is astonishing and refreshing at the same time.

Looks good though, so an upvote from me, and enjoy your hat!

My very first suggestion was done when I first started my Unusual trading. I was not familiar with the pricing rules, and looking back on it, I'm quite ashamed really.

The Yellow Belt price that I submitted was mostly based on a cash transaction in which I was discounted on the rate of cash per earbuds, yet I thought that it was still priced per the bud and not the dollar amount. When I realized this mistake, I also closed that suggestion.

This one I have done a TON of research on, since I own the hat. I want to set a good range with even better proof, so I made sure to cover all my bases.

Thanks a ton for the support! I plan on submitting more prices in the future! :D

I look forward to seeing more of you!

I just realized I mislabeled sale 3. It was, in fact sold for a GHASTLY GHOSTS Jr Impaler, not a Haunted Phantasms. However, all of the provided proof show that it's Ghastly Ghosts.

After: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198040189013?time=1416038400

Some of the sales are off here. Impaler is closer to 8-9, not 15-17

- The second sale on the impaler was impaler + 8 keys for eerie anger + 1 ghosts belt. He got the other ghosts belt for buds + that vivid sam

http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198040189013?time=1416124800 - impaler sold for ~9

- You are missing about 7 buds added for the beams anger in your first sale: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198035077222?time=1416211200, which would put the impaler at 8 (no overpay since offered)

With the impaler at 8-9, your sale at 21 is closer to 15.5 (I think it was 3.5 pure and not 3 pure)

Range here will be closer to 15-20 instead of 18-21
