This is my end-game hat. Favorite hat, favorite effect, 1-of-1, purchased from the person who uncrated it. I paid quite a bit but I am happy with my purchase. I am now officially done with Unusual Trading, but will still continue pricing hats. Let's get this one priced.


Here is my proof:


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


Sale 1 (My Purchase)


For the sake of even calculations and simplified overpay, each Unusual hat and Australium has been rounded to the nearest Bud.


(PLEASE NOTE: Hats were rounded both up AND down. The total price differentiation due to rounding was less than a bud, which is minimal on a hat of this level.)


The Amaranthine Crone's Dome was purchased with the following items:


Cloud 9 Baker's Boy (3.8 Buds, rounded up to 4 Buds)

Amaranthine War Pig (16.5 Buds, rounded up to 17 Buds)

Massed Flies Waxy Wayfinder (1.8 Buds, rounded up to 2 Buds)

Dead Presidents Brotherhood of Arms (6 Buds)

Cloudy Moon Coupe Disaster (4 Buds)

Nuts n Bolts Safe N Sound (2.1 Buds, rounded down to 2 Buds)

Steaming Das Hazmattenhatten (2.35 Buds, rounded down to 2 Buds)

Circling Peace Sign Well-Rounded Rifleman (3.6 Buds, rounded up to 4 Buds)

Haunted Ghosts Backbiters Billycock (1.9 Buds, rounded up to 2 Buds)

Professional Killstreak Australium Stickybomb Launcher (2.83 Buds, round up to 3 Buds)

Professional Killstreak Australium Ambassador (2.25 Buds, rounded down to 2 Buds)


(Pure)

Clean Lvl. 5 Max’s Severed Head (3.3 buds)

2 Clean Earbuds (2 Buds)


Total = (4 Buds)+(17 Buds)+(2 Buds)+(6 Buds)+(4 Buds)+(2 Buds)+(2 Buds)+(4 Buds)+(2 Buds)+(3 Buds)+(2 Buds) = 48 Buds in Unusuals and Aussies.


48 * .9 (Overpay) = 43.2 Buds + 5.3 Buds (Pure) = 48.5 buds, rounded up to 50 Buds Even.

(Rounded up to 50 on polar’s instruction to maintain a neat price.)

It’s also worth noting that six of the unusual hats included in this trade had Halloween Spells on them. Normally, I don't calculate the price of Paints, Spells, or Parts when it comes to pricing Unusuals, but in the case of Headless Horseshoes, (which is currently 8 Keys at the time of writing this suggestion), I feel it is only fair to make it known that these parts are on these hats. I DID NOT include any sort of price increase on my hats because of them, but I just wanted to let you all know that there is a large chunk of value I did not calculate into the total. Due of the rounding of the unusuals and the total price, as advised by polar, I did not bother with it.

Mini Information

A few of the hats in the trade are outdated. Mini information has been provided below for each of them:


Steaming Das Hazmattenhatten


Only four of this hat exist, and from what the histories on each hat say, there hasn't been a sale in the past three months. The most recent sale happened just over three months ago, and is the second hat below on the list. The hat itself was sold for an Orbiting Planets Front Runner (1.35 Buds) and 15 Keys Pure, bringing it’s value to 2.35 Buds (Buds were 15 keys at the time of the sale).

After: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198112281935?time=1416038400


Since the change in price is very minimal, an average of 2 buds was used in the suggestion.

Hat 2: http://backpack.tf/item/2261875045 (Most recently sold, which was over 3 months ago.)

Hat 3: http://backpack.tf/item/1934325748 (Only hat available for sale. Owner is asking for 35 keys.)

Hat 4: http://backpack.tf/item/1907048888 (The hat I traded for the Crones.)


Cloud 9 Baker Boy


Most recent sale for the Cloud 9 Baker Boy sold for a Max's Severed Head (3.3 Buds), 6 Pure Keys, and a S. SMG (3.66 Ref). Easily puts the Baker Boy at about 3.8 Buds. Close enough to the 4 amount it is still priced at.

After: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198031369237?time=1420531200


Massed Flies Waxy Wayfinder


The most recent sale involving the Waxy Wayfinder is for an undisclosed amount. The deal in its entirety was a Massed Flies Waxy Wayfinder and a Circling Peace Sign Exquisite Rack for an unpriced Amaranthine Bubble Pipe. The Bubble Pipe is 1-of-1 and has limited sales, including one to an Unusual Bot. The person who sold the Bubble Pipe for the Rack and Waxy originally purchased it from the original owner for a Max's Severed Head, which was a very obvious quicksale, meaning that a true range cannot be determined at this time. I have also spoken to the involved parties to clarify that this was indeed the sale.


Other than this sale, there are no usable sales available from any of the 8 existing hats.

Haunted Ghosts Backbiter's Billycock


Recently sold for 2 Buds Pure.

After: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198048478645?time=1420272000


Cloudy Moon Coupe Disaster


This hat is right at the 3 months threshold for its price, so I figured I might as well do the mini just to be safe.

The Cloudy Moon Coupe Disaster has no recent sales. The most recent sale was my pure purchase, which happened on Oct. 8th.

Since there are no sales for a clean Coupe more recent than mine, the 4 Bud price will stand.


Professional Killstreak Australium Stickybomb Launcher


Steam Market Link: http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/440/Strange%20Professional%20Killstreak%20Australium%20Stickybomb%20Launcher

Average price of the remaining launchers puts it right at about $80-90.

$85 / $30 (Average price of Buds currently) = 2.83 Buds.


It’s also worth noting that currently, there is currently only one KS Aussie Sticky available via Classifieds below 3 Buds. All others are 3 Buds or above:


http://backpack.tf/classifieds?item=Stickybomb%20Launcher&quality=11&tradable=1&craftable=1&australium=1&page=2


Professional Killstreak Australium Ambassador


Steam Market Link: http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/440/Strange%20Professional%20Killstreak%20Australium%20Ambassador


Average price of the recent few sales puts it right about $65-70.

$67.5 / $30 (Average price of Buds currently) = ~2.25 Buds


While the current Aussie Amby’s are for sale at the 2.25 range, there are more than a few available via Classified Listings at 2 Buds, so it was rounded down to 2 Buds to reflect the current listings:


http://backpack.tf/classifieds?item=Ambassador&quality=11&tradable=1&craftable=1&australium=1&page=1


All of the other hats have been priced within the last three months and do not require a mini.

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!

    Congrats on your unusual!

    I quickly reviewed this before. Looked fine to me, I hope it does to others

      Thanks a ton Kypari! :D

      Congrats on getting this hat!

      i honestly have no idea why you would want this hat so much but to each his own. Everything looks decently in order and the rounding is fine with high tiers.

        Well, part of the reason I wanted this hat so much is due to the unusual mod I created specifically for these halloween effects.


        http://tf2.gamebanana.com/sprites/5323


        This really helped me fall in love with Amaranthine. It's also a Crone's. =3

        *grumble* yeah yeah everyone gets a 1:1 Crone's...


        *hugs my SBound Dixie* mein.

          Don't get me wrong....this took nearly 4 years. T.T

            Took me 20 minutes to get my SBound Dixie


            if another is unboxed i'll kill the unboxer <3


            (not insane) or am I?

              Nah, you're fine. I'd die if a second one of these is unboxed next Halloween. XD

          Upvote because 1)wall of PROOF not text just text, 2)so much hard work 3)anyone who pays this much and goes to this length for their dream unusual deserves it.

            Thanks so much Alpha. That actually means a lot to me. =)

              /) beautiful hat and i must say well worked for. No one gets lucky with that many unusuals.

            For any who may think the rounding at the start was too much, it really wasn't. Since he rounded both up AND down, the net rounding was only plus .87, not important on a hat this high tier.

              I was going to mention that, but forgot to add it in. Thanks for pointing that out.


              When the total rounding is less than a bud, it is very minimal. =)

              Congratulations!

                Thanks so very much! ^-^

                I know my baby has gone to a good home <3 Thanks for the trade, and the suggestion, You've got my vote.

                  You're too awesome btw. You've made me more than happy! :D
