Normally i don't comment on price suggestions due to major backlash (welcome to the internet), but im willing to try for once.

*Please note this isn't to save myself profit or anything, this is more to show information ive gathered on the Frostbite HKC

Now i myself have a Frostbite Hong Kong Cone, and i have successfully gotten offers ranging around 220-300 keys no problems within the span of a few months, ironically Panda had his cone longer then me. ( i never took offers because i was never interested)

My Trade -> http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/27479019#latest

- 4 month old outpost trade, same timeframe as cyanidepanda's trade

- Pure offer of 190-210 Keys

- Offer of 234 Keys in Unusual Overpay

- Offer of 262 Keys in Unusual Overpay - Then changing to a 280 Keys Unusual Overpay

- Offer of 296 Keys in Unusual Overpay - Then 267.5 Keys Unusual Overpay - Then 235 Keys Unusual Overpay

and other private offers i was unable to take a screen shot of.

And on the point of other sellers:

CyanidePanda's Trade -> http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/27295890

- 5 month old outpost trade

- Multiple Offers ranging in 200-250's

- Ranges around the time-frame of when i started my own outpost trade

- Has declined 190-210 keys before

Dorp's Trade -> http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/27963973

- Within 10 hours of posting by the time i'm writing this

- Offered scorching reggaelator if he added his cone and more (210-300 keys, 250 key average)

- Offered Green Energy Proff Ushanka (No solid price, but supposing its around the PE version, give or take worth 270 keys)

So more or less, in recent time, there has been a large amount of offers going past your range of 283.

Again this isn't to save my ass profit, its more just to show what i can put forth as any form of information on the Frostbite HKC

Many of those offers are either too old, or include unpriced or outdated hats. With one for sale with a B/O of 200, and with yours and Panda's being listed for many months without selling, i don't see why it should be worth more than 200. Take in account that backpack prices are supposed to represent the pure price of an item, and it certainly doesn't sell for more than 200.

If there aren't more valid sales or more solid offers, this will probably be ok.

You do have a point, but more or less if i had to give an opinion, unusuals can take time to sell, even to the point of months, this isn't exactly something new to unusual sellers.

However its to the point that it would make a bit of sense to overall wait until more people sell their cones.

Using one sale of a trade that has been open for around 5 months, when he has constantly gotten better offers before that point, not to mention on panda's trade, one of his offers of 250 keys in unusuals was within the span of 3 weeks, fairly recent.

Not to dispute any points or anything, it would just seem better to wait it out and see if any other offers roll in. there hasn't been much in decline of offer prices within the past 4 months because they always tend to roll in the 200+ range.

Like for instance most of my offers are souly in the 230+ range with actual priced unusuals not considering the GE peak that i was offered, not to mention they were offered within atleast the span of 2 months at the most from eachother (this should seem fine, considering in past cone suggestions, they used trades as old as 2-3 months).

And on the point of panda's trade, hes was ready to take a darkblaze wrath wrap (210-215 keys) when it was available to be traded and before that point considered 190-210 keys pure for his cone before declining.

Recently on DORP's trade, hes been offered a duped samur-eye with scorching (200-240) (not entirely sure how much the duped part would shave off, i dont trade unusuals much anymore lol)

So if i had to stick with my opinion, waiting for more sales would help set an official stance on where the cone is selling at. there has been a constant rate of 200+ offers flowing in throughout the months, and on 2 of the 3 trades, offers of 200+ in unusuals has been offered fairly recently within the span of 3 weeks.

And if i had to add one last thing, panda explicitly said to offer above 200 keys in his trade for him to consider, and with my trade i dont take offers due to me simply not liking them, im looking for keeps and not resells.

truly if i had to take an offer for the purpose of reselling for profit, i would have taken multiple offers before this point.

If i HAD to make a suggestion on a price, 183-200 or 180-220 would take both recent sells and offers into consideration, not that i think it would get made of course

anyways thats more or less all i got, good luck on your suggestion ;P
