I had been looking for a clean Burning Brigade for a long time but out of three that I found, none of them were available for the current bp.tf price.

There was one available on tf2shop.net for $400+ (Which I believe has since sold, but I can't really prove this one.)

Foxyfluff is currenty selling one asking for "300 Key[s] or [$]500... minimum": http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/26518129

And I was finally able to buy one from Kwerty™ http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/26644747 for $300 via PayPal plus a S.Pro Minigun[url]http://backpack.tf/item/587042260[/url] and a S.Pro Machina[url]http://backpack.tf/item/763563660[/url] valued at 14.06 and 17.06 keys respectively.

Grats on the trade.

For a start, you can't make a range off one sale. One sale, flat price.

Secondly, for the sweets:

http://backpack.tf/stats/Strange/Professional%20Killstreak%20Minigun/Tradable/Craftable - sellers ~12 keys

http://backpack.tf/stats/Strange/Specialized%20Killstreak%20Machina/Tradable/Craftable - sellers ~12 keys (also it's a spec machina, not a pro machina) so this would be 24 all up

Finally, $300 paypal is equal to 167 keys if we take keys at $1.8. This puts the sale at 191 - I'd re-suggest at that value.

That is so weird, I think the website is glitched (or did I link to the wrong item?), it was a Strange Professional Killstreak Machina with Agonizing Emerald and Hypno-Beam. I'm so confused... Sorry I'm new to making bp.tf price suggestions, I didn't know about the one sale one price thing, I put in two prices hoping to capture how floaty the value of pro killstreak weapons are since they aren't a pure ammount.

Ah okay, I don't know why someone would take off a pro kit to put a spec kit on... perhaps Kwerty removed the pro, sold it as normal, someone put a spec on it. Unsure, but I'm happy to trust your word on it.

Anyway, face below said keys should be $1.85, I asked pretty quickly on the forums and $1.80 seemed to be right

( http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/statuses/user/6332-jacobmeister/?status_id=267742 )

Anyway, I can't track what Kwerty bought it for - one sale should be fine here.

The best thing to do would be to close this suggestion and open a new one at 193 (the pro machina is 14:

http://backpack.tf/classifieds?item=Machina&quality=11&tradable=1&craftable=1&killstreak_tier=3 )

Someone also said it fluctuates between $1.75 and $1.95. Average is $1.85 :P But the difference from using that and $1.8 is about 7 keys, I'm pretty sure thats a very acceptable error margin for a hat this costly. So no harm done whichever he chooses to go with.

Am i missing something? Its a spec ks machina, not pro. Which is 12 keys. Pro ks minigun is 12 keys as well. Add that to the $300,(~162, keys at $1.85), you'd get 162+ 21 = 183. Its almost the same as the average from your suggestion, so i dont think you need to resuggest, but you're not actually supposed to create a range from one sale.

Also, there has been another sale for the brigade, the one where kwerty bought it. Is there a reason why it cant be used?

Crazy as it sounds, the Machina was Pro when I sold it to Kwerty, it actually looks like he immediately sold it to someone who removed to pro kit and applied a specialized kit. I'm new to making suggestions so I didn't know about not creating a range. Also I didn't think to look back at the trade where Kwerty bought the brigade since I didn't know it was a recent purchase. (Again I'm new at this)

I dont have any issues with believing you, you seem legit. Unless someone adds kwerty and asks what he bought it for, I dont think that sale can be tracked. You can either do that, or just go with what Jacob said- I dont think there will be any problem.

For future reference, checking the history of the item in question will show you if it has been circulating in the market or not http://backpack.tf/item/304884111

I'm pretty sure I figured out what is up with the Machina. Since it is duped, (and that duplication presumably happened before any killstreak kits were applied to it) one copy of it had a specialized killstreak kit added to it. While the one I sold to Kwerty had a professional killstreak kit attached to it. If you check Gark's backpack you can see the specialized one, and if you look at Kwerty's backpack (with a historical view of 2015-08-04) you can see the professional one that I sold him.
