I've kinda noticed that too (been doing some research on it). The spreadsheet seems to be way off on this particular item; I think that the spreadsheet creator arbitrarily marked all the 4 ref craft items as worth 3-4 refined, but didn't account for the Fancy Dress Uniform being vastly more desirable than the Armored Authority, and the recipe only grants you a 50% chance of getting the thing you want.

I'm considering gambling on it myself; if I get the helmet, I'll try to sell it/trade it for something, but I'd rather not drop my two keys on the Uniform just yet...


This also applies to the Made Man vs Cosa Nostra.
 
Are people crafting/trading for the plain hats to collect? I thought they were not worth anything or much, just like the Strange weapons.

For some reason, I have this idea in my head that they are only worth something if they are vintage or above.

I'm just looking for outfits just because I genuinely want to wear those outfits and I have barely anything yet. I've figured out what I want for each class, and now I'm just trying to acquire those pieces.

So far I've managed to get one pieced together: a Grimm Hatte and Blighted Beak for my medic. And it's bad-ass.

People buy crap hats so they can craft 2 together to potentially get a really good hat.

In terms of priority:

  • Scout: Milkman + Planeswalker Goggles (which are still super expensive since there aren't many non-genuine copies out there)
  • Engineer: Safe'N'Sound + Googly Gazer
  • Soldier: Sergeant's Drill Hat + Fancy Dress Uniform (confession: I really want a Bill's Hat to go with this, but that's quite out of my reach at the moment)
  • Heavy: Capo's Capper + Security Shades

Still debating on the others, but since I don't bring in much metal, I know it'll take me a long time to make enough to buy what I want barring some lucky drops. So I'm taking it slow :)

I have a Milkman if you want to set up a trade.
 
People at TF2TP are incredible, "selling" their Humble Bundle #3 keys at $69 equivalent in hats. They probably got that for $1.

How much are NG Planeswalker Goggles going for? I've got a pair, that I could let go for the right price.

How much are they worth? Or how much are they going for?

The almighty spreadsheet says they're worth 2-3 ref, or about 1 key, and that's probably the right cost. However, if you believe the idiots on TF2TP, they're worth your firstborn son.

Was it crafted or dropped?

Well worth it.

Yeah.. I sold mine for a key and was happy. But i don't play almost never scout anyways.

I believe it's a high number craft.

Edit: yeah craft #887
 
New to trading here. I had a couple of questions.

I'm looking for a strange sticky launcher. On the spreadsheet, it states .66~1 refined.

So that means it's 2~3 reclaimed metals. Yes?

Yes.
 
I'd like to point out that the spreadsheet is much much less accurate when it comes to strange weapons since they are much more impacted by supply and demand than hats.

The "old" strange weapons are pretty much worth more than the new strange weapons across the board. RL >> scatter, knife grenade/sticky >> flamer/backburner etc

You might be able to get the strange sticky for 1 ref if you keep at it, but I'd expect to pay more along 1.33-1.66 ref

Also, in my experience, the spreadsheet seems to be seller prices, meaning it's what a seller WANTS to get. Most of the time you won't get that much.
 
A lot of people are trying to low ball me for my Vintage Vintage Tyrolean. I read the spreadsheet, but I'm still curious what hats I should hold out for in terms of value? I'd probably be reaching to ask for a Bills hat, huh? But what if I threw in a refined or something? I'm new to trading and have been tricked out of my Ear buds, so I'm pretty cautious about all this.

Also, what do I have to do to get an unusual? I've seen some sell for a stupid amount of money, I don't know how you go about trading to get one of those.

You'd have to have two VVTyrolean's to reach a Bill's Hat.

You don't have to keep the spreadsheet as god's word, you know. You should make trades based on what you want and need.

Unusual market is pretty hard to get into unless you have a healthy stock of a few buds and Bills.

I figured, that's why I'm trying to figure out how I can trade up until I can reach one. I don't want to get too involved in this stuff, but I have most of the weapons now so it'll give me something to work towards.

So, I've determined that I don't really like the Vintage Sergeant's Drill Hat.

I'm wanting the Familiar Fez, the Attendant, and a bad-a Soldier hat. Any combination of these will do.
 
Is anyone doing 1:1 weapons trading? I'm missing a few, but giving scraps (which comes from two weapons) for weapons seems illogical to me.

Normal weapons, of course. None of that Genuine/Vintage or whatever.

Taking offers on everything there, I want to get rid of it so if your offer isn't too low I'll probably give it to you. Also looking for pink paints.

Sent you a PM.

I was mostly trying to browse your backpack; once you updated your post with your steam profile number I had no trouble finding it.

I'm out of metal right now, but I might make an offer on the Strange Backburner later.

Quick question (i think its called pricecheck):

What is a #44 craft original worth?

Because i have the possibility to get one but I don't want to pay TOO much for it...
(i offered a key, but he wants more))

Sgt.Pepper said:
Wait for a while, and get a Genuine Original. All G. Weapons have decrease in price over time, as far as I know.

thank you :) havent known that yet.

almost all have. there are a couple of exceptions, but the Original is not one of them.
