The cock man gets another cock

1 of 2, both duped

Other one hasn't moved in 5+ years

Andrei's SCM bot bought it for £72.84 on the 23rd of January

£72.84 / £1.52 = 47.92 keys, rounding to 48

I paid 190 pure as soon as it became tradeable

Sales - 48, 190

Taking the 48 as a quicksell

190

I guess when you collect these people can charge crazy high prices even when they get em dirt cheap

given how far apart the 2 sales are from each other it would be better to leave this outdated. there is no solid reason why 48 is low here but 190 is not high

Buyers are above the low value

Old price is 6 years outdated and the current market on halloween effects on any hats is currently massively inflated, anyone with two braincells to bang together could reasonably see that 48 (although in-line with the 6 year old price) is "technically" not low it very clearly is AND was a massive quicksell.

When you say SCM bot, do you mean an application that has buy orders for specific effects or something? interested to know here since usually when we have sales this far apart, we leave the hat outdated

Andrei has bought multiple hats immediately off the SCM for prices that would be considered quicksells. There’s a few people that do it, I’m not 100% sure how it works but it seems to be a script that he has most likely bought from someone else. There’s no way within the SCM to set up a buy order of a specific effect. I’d imagine the script scans the market for hats beneath a certain price threshold and buys them. There’s no way to know exactly how they do it without access to their files but it’s certainly not a human sniping good deals.

Yeah; I asked because I was pretty sure specifics like that could not be incorporated in buy orders, so I was not sure what exactly SCM bot would entail.

This presents an interesting case, as verification is probably impossible (nobody would openly admit using something like that if it endangers their accounts). Currently discussing this with the other moderators as well to see what the best course of action is here.

Given the circumstances the consensus among the mods is that there is enough to imply 48 is the outlier here
