First experience trying to sell a 1/1 unusual hat, and let me tell you, it was quite a dicey operation with nothing more to go on than Ooze or Amaranthine effects, and the general low-standing of Ze Goggles overall. But honestly? It wasn't that bad for a first time. And the hat was relatively easy to gather proof for. It's been sold a limited number of times, but just enough to have a price that speaks for itself.
For starters, I purchased the bad boy while it was tagged with a mere asking price of at least thirty keys for a Haunted Ghosts Vintage Merriweather (Currently valued, and was at the time valued, at 34 keys). I was the third owner at the time.

Next, I sold it several days later with a Professional Killstreak Widowmaker (Valued in the context of the trade as 4 keys) for an unusual Smoking Team Captain, (valued at 42.5 keys). (42.5 - 4 Widowmaker Keys, = 38.5)

Overall, I'd have to say I seldom see the hat outperforming much more than the range provided (but we'll see given time), however any counter proofs, constructive criticisms or feedback would be greatly appreciated. All I know is that I've had the bulk of experience with selling these spooky spectacles, and it's a disservice to anyone sellin' them to leave them completely unpriced.
Relisting no longer in ref. Sorry about that. It was mortifying.
overpay is needed
You don't need to list all those extra details. As for the suggestion itself, you need to apply 90% overpay on Unusual Hats.
yeah this kind of format would be better -
Sale # 1 - Sold for a Haunted Ghosts Merryweather - After unusual overpay (34)(.9) = 31 keys

Sale # 2 - Sold with a Professional KS Widowmaker for a Smoking Team Captain - After unusual overpay (42.5)(.9) = 38 - 4 keys = 34 keys

Final range would be 31-34 keys
There is no need for the extra sentences if it doesnt involve the suggestion
Hope that can help :P
Thanks for the breakdown! First time suggesting a price so I suppose there's some general scope of error to be anticipated. I guess I can't expect anyone to hold off on writing up a different suggestion for the hat, but we'll see next my votes shug through.
Ay. And the rep plummets once more. I suppose I'll take another shot in five days then over that nuance. For future reference, how should I round the number; 31 or 30? I punch those numbers into a calculator it gives me a frowny face accompanied by 30.6.
you can round to 30 keys if you like on cheaper hats rounding isnt as important compared to high tier hats
Use this : http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/6033-guide-for-unusual-price-suggestions .Round up to 31.
30, since his bo was 30 so it cant be higher then that (for the merry sale)
