☛ Sale #1:

Sold for a Vivid Plasma Das Maddendoktor (65 Keys) + 1 Key = 65 * 0.9 + 1 = 60 Keys

However, the B/O was 55 Keys, capping this sale at 55 Keys.

Proof of B/O: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/27028088

Screenshot Proof: http://imgur.com/VPo3maa

Inventory of buyer before: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198140878064?time=1442214000 (Sept. 14th)

Inventory of buyer after: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198140878064?time=1442300400 (Sept. 15th)

Comparison of before and after: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198140878064?time=1442214000&compare=1442300400

Note: You will see there is a difference between the bp.tf comparison of before and after and the screenshot proof, leading to an apparent contradiction. The Maddendoktor was not registered in the inventory of the buyer prior to the purchase, which is evidenced through the lack of a chronological index for the buyer in the history of the Das Maddendoktor.

*No recent sales of the 1/2 Stormy 13th Hour Doctor's Sack are independent of the sale of the Titanium Pillar of Hats. None are currently on the market for further comment.

☛ Sale #3: [VOID]

Sold for a Stormy 13th Hour Doctor's Sack (mini unavailable)* + Harvest Moon Hetman's Headpiece (50 Keys) + Blizzardly Coup D'isaster (10 Keys)

Inventory of buyer before: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198073919381?time=1438066800 (July 28th)

Inventory of buyer after: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198073919381?time=1439881200 (August 18th)

Comparison of before and after: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198073919381?time=1438066800&compare=1439881200

*No recent sales of the 1/2 Stormy 13th Hour Doctor's Sack are independent of the sale of the Titanium Pillar of Hats. None are currently on the market for further comment.

Note: Yet another apparent contradiction. The Steel Toe was not involved in the trade and the Coup D'iasaster does not show up in the inventory of the buyer. Nonetheless, this is easily resolved with the screenshot evidence.

Mini for Blizzardly Storm Coup D'isaster

Pure Sale - Sold for 10 Keys

Conclusion:

Sale #2 and sale #3 cannot be used to price the Pillar as one is a subset of the other with a significant price difference in between. Consider the fact that the Pillar was sold for the Doctor's Sack alongside 60 Keys in Unusuals in sale #3 (Harvest moon Hetman's Headpiece + Blizzardly Storm Coup D'isaster), whereas it was sold 1:1 for the Doctor's Sack in sale #2. Clearly, these sales are inconsistent with one another and one cannot claim to be representative. As such, these sales will be disregarded.

With sales #2 and #3 being invalid, the final price will be determined by sale #1 at 55 Keys.
