Hey guys I'm kinda new at this so please don't be harsh
First Glance: According to the current http://bp.tf unusual pricing ( https://backpack.tf/effects ), the electrostatic is a low-mid tier unusual effect, right below searing plasma. The hat is currently 1 out of 1, meaning this contributes to it's rarity. Aviator Assassin is a hat viable to many spy cosmetics and is quite popular. It can be seen as a themed unusual, as both are related to aviation and lightning go hand in hand.
Sales:
Trade #1- 65 Keys Upgrade:
#1: https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198122107265#!/compare/1574380800/1574467200Traded Nebula Universal Translator for 12 keys, australium wrench (40 keys), assortment of strange items (around 14 keys), Accursed Yeti Punch (10 keys at the time), assortment of strange cosmetics (2.5 keys), an assortment of unique cosmetics (2 keys) and of course, the electrostatic aviator assassin. Using subtraction (130-40-14-18-2.5-2), the total left was what the EAA was worth, which was 60.5 keys.
Trade #2 - 34 Key Quicksell:
#1: https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198165523142#!/compare/1577404800/1577491200#2: https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198396122461#!/compare/1577404800/1577577600Quicksold Electrostatic Aviator Assassin for Aces High Killer Exclusive (he found a buyer for 29 keys pure before accepting trade), 2 Keys and a Kazosky Kick. [35 key quicksell value] We know this was a quicksell as on the same day #1 used the pure to buy an australium sniper rifle worth 39 keys using 4 of his own keys, along with the 35 keys profited from the trade.

Sale #3- 63.11 Keys Downgrade:
#1: https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198022610417#!/compare/1575072000/1575158400Traded EAA for the Austraulium Rocket Launcher and two Australium Black boxes, which are worth 63.11 keys combined. I also reached out to the guy to confirm, and he did confirm this was right. Proof: https://imgur.com/tTuwd87
Sale #4- 61.5 keys Minimum in Unusuals:
https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198192602363#!/compare/1567296000/1567382400Sold the Aviator Assassin for the Cloud 9 Mercenary (Assumed to be around 40 keys as buyers are at 30 keys pure) and Terror Watt Front Runner (21.5 keys).Conclusion: Although the unusual effect is low-mid tier, what really seems to be making this hat so valuable is the fact that there is only one of it. So I think for now 55-60 keys with a 35 key quicksell value is definitely a fair and viable value for now, but if another one of this unusual is unboxed, it will greatly decrease this unusual's value.
few things to note here
-any trade where the aviator is not worth more than 50% of the trade (like how in sale 1 it is only worth 47%) is not valid to price it
-any trade more than three months old (october 1 and older) are not valid (sale 4)
all unusuals used to price need to be within three months recently priced
This will need to be fixed. More info here:
