One sale at 275, taking 275k.

bros not getting anywhere near 1k for ts 💀🙏

bro he sold it alr

Wayne seems to have bought 6 items off Silvius, he doesn't receive anything from Wayne (and it's Wayne) so presumably a cash transaction.

i also know silvius as someone who regularly dumps items (he had a distant drift bone cone + t-watt antlers that he dumped for something hat protector space mann + nebula phononaut that he dumped for some antifreeze/roboactive unusuals that he dumped for something or other) id be willing to bet he sold it for way less than what he paid. i guess bro just likes having different hats

also wayne's a bp buyer, even if it was a cash transaction i dont imagine wayne paying anywhere near full price for this

Considering Wayne's relist is at 333k, this is probably true, but unless Silvius elects to drop the details of the cash transaction (and unless those details have a specific amount set aside for the Hellish Overlord and isn't just a bulk rate), then it's hard to make any updates to this.

i suppose a price is better than no price

if he dumped it for much less than he paid, it means his purchase is not really a reliable measure to price this. With that in mind, Id rather wait for more sales before pricing this

Worth reaching out to Silvius to see if there was a specific price set aside for it (unlikely given the bulk amount that moved), or just close this, since there's no other useable sales?

you could reach out, but I am convinced that it won't be usable and that - if one would attach a single value to this hat - it would be below this. in almost all cases where a hat was sold alongside other hats, its going to be a cashout, dump or an other form of bulk discount, all of which will be unusable, but a strong indicator that this as a flat value is unreliable.

Fair enough, will close this then.
