We've seen a couple of cases in which people buy weapons rather than warpaints to be able to price their items (as when the warpaint is bought, the warpaint gets priced). somewhat similar to how we allow collectors items priced based on their chem set because being the first in its history is a pre to buyers, we've considered the above to be "added value" that could explain why someone'd pay more for a weapon than for a paint.

We're currently discussing how to work with the paint -> weapon discussion since it seems to be bothersome for more people that their weapons can't be priced if they buy the paint, but for now we've decided to allow these suggestions if there are no further weapon sales.
