1/5 to exist, no other recent sales that I could find. Last price suggestion was 8 months ago.

    So it was sold for 69 keys?

    And its duped so idk

      How does it being duplicated affect things here? It's still an unusual hat worth 76 keys as far as I can tell.

      The person I traded with had a B/O of 60. My Pyromancer was worth 76 keys, and we agreed on him adding 7 keys to the trade to somewhat balance the

      value differences a bit more. I felt like the leftover amount of 9 keys worth (76-67=9) was a decent amount of 'overpay' to ensure that I would get the Slug, and it was.

        It was sold at 69 but it had a B/O of 60 keys, so it caps at 60 keys. It would probs cap at 60 keys either way.

          If you say so .-.

          I though you had to use the price what it sold for and not the B/O

          So it doesnt matter if this hat priced at 76 keys is duped???

            If it sold for more then the B/O it caps. However this is not the case if it sells for complete pure.

            It does matter that is was duped. However, I am pretty sure it would cap anyways.

        http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198065402907#!/compare/1478995200/1479081600 - sold for an Infernal Flames Taunt: Square Dance. might wanna get a mini for that, tonnes of sales.

          Probs an outlier, also new unusual prices seem to be very unstable at the moment.

          8 days and still no acceptance or refusal. How long does it generally take for suggestions to be accepted?

            It has been over two weeks.

              Up to a month.

                Thank you.

                  a long long month it can be

                If mods are unsure about whether or not they want to accept it, it goes to a month.


                A problem here is that it is duped.

                Other clean owners might value their slug at more, so it might not be fair to price this off of a duped sale.

                  I understand now that it goes up to a month, but the burning slug is both unpriced and not duped. The Pyromancer that was used to trade for it was duped,

                  but still worth a considerable amount at 76 keys worth at the time. There's also only one other seller who is asking 65 keys for their burning slug, which really

                  isn't that far off from my current pricing suggestion.


                  It's also the only sale that has been made for this hat and effect in many months, so wouldn't it make more sense that it would be unfair

                  to not price this at all?

                    My bad, I thought the slug was duped.

                    It would be better to have a second sale, since the hat is unpriced, but this should be fine

                      Not a problem, everyone makes mistakes occasionally.


                      Thank you by the way, I hope that it gets accepted by the time this reaches a month.

                In these situations we usually leave suggestions up for a while to see if we can get a second sale. For unpriced items, we always prefer to have ranges to properly reflect a common trading point (to avoid pricing items off of outlier sales) and if nothing happens in that time period, the single sale value will have to do for the time being.


                In this situation, 60 is definitely going to be okay. Supportive indications that the sale here is not an outlier:

                http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/28164576 offers here back up the value. Theres a pure offer of 53, and his buyout is 65. Even if we get a 2nd sale soon, it is highly likely that it will be around 60.
