The holy nothingburger hat has returned.

Item 1: https://backpack.tf/item/13305599694

Sale 1: 1:1'd for an Electrostatic Buccaneer's Bicorne (using this to price the Bicorne, since the Bicorne's only other valid sale is mixed, and this one is pure).

Sale 3: Traded for a load of Macaw skins that I did not ignore but is a more complex sale that takes longer than 34h 38s to review

Alright, so sale 3 was for the following laundry list of skins:

Macaw Masked Crusader's Crossbow (Field-Tested)

Macaw Masked Rocket Launcher (Minimal Wear)

Macaw Masked Rocket Launcher (Field-Tested)

Macaw Masked Grenade Launcher (Factory New)

Macaw Masked Disciplinary Action (Factory New)

Macaw Masked Shotgun (Well-Worn)

Macaw Masked Medi Gun (Minimal Wear)

Macaw Masked Disciplinary Action (Factory New)

Macaw Masked Black Box (Well-Worn)

Tiger Buffed Knife (Field-Tested)

Macaw Masked Knife (Field-Tested)

Cool Professional Killstreak Macaw Masked Black Box (Battle Scarred)

Hot Specialized Killstreak Macaw Masked Medi Gun (Field-Tested)

Killstreak Macaw Masked Loch-n-Load (Field-Tested)

Macaw Masked Brass Beast (Field-Tested)

Macaw Masked Black Box (Field-Tested)

Strange Killstreak Macaw Masked Knife (Field-Tested) with Robots Destroyed and Giant Robots Destroyed Strange Parts

Macaw Masked Black Box (Field-Tested)

Killstreak Macaw Masked Rescue Ranger (Minimal Wear)

Now, one of these was kept by Honshu and is marked NFS as a "Dark Blue Gem", so to price this relative to the Vamp Vanquisher, we'd need to know which of these, if any, are gems that would increase the value of them. Luckily, all of them (except the one Dark Blue Gem Macaw Masked Disc. Action FN) moved to Cave a few days later, alongside 3 FN Macaw Masked warpaints, for 280 keys, not 399 keys like the compare suggested originally.

Now, ideally, if this was something with the items received being totaled up or otherwise itemized, we could subtract the price of the 3 additional warpaints from the 280 sum, take that number, try and figure out the value of the Dark Blue Disc. Action and add it to that to determine the value of everything traded for the Vamp Vanquisher, but since there are additional war paints thrown into the bundle which don't have individual pricing, it's not possible to take the value of the sale of the Macaw bulk here without knowing the value of the war paints added. With the amount Cave has, it's impossible to inspect which specifically were obtained in this trade, and even attempt to determine if they're gems, give them a speculative value as a micro on a per-war-paint basis, and then get us the first value to move forward in valuation of sale 3. At the very least I was able to tell that both unusuals were not gems (both were generic orange/green/yellow), and the strange knife did have some white on it, but was not a gem either. Given that checking marketplace, Mannco, and classifieds doesn't give me any valid options to price these individually, and the resale through Cave has a price that can't be isolated due to the addition of several war paints, this would have to be excluded since there's no way to properly price everything provided in the original trade.

No new classifieds link, as there's currently no sell orders or buy orders for this specific effect listed.

One valid in-date sale at 75 keys, taking 75 keys. Again.
