A Delicious Cashew Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Introducing Challenges of the Week. This is something Aaroncsn and I have thought of to try and update some old prices In short: Mods challenge unusual suggestors to price x hats with y restrictions in a week. This doesn't mean suggestors shouldn't price what they normally do. This is just something that will mainly focus on updating old prices, something that is much easier to do with the help of the 3rd and 4th link in the links of reference Links of reference: http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/6033-new-unusual-price-suggestion-guide-the-cheat-sheet/ Pricing Guide http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/2775-psa-unusual-price-update-request-thread/ Unusual request thread http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/17842-outdated-unusual-list-for-unusual-pricing-gurus-932014/ Has link of all outdated hats with dates http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/17120-every-single-unpricedoutdated-unusual-updated-2014-09-04/ Has link of all outdated and unpriced hats http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/18130-backpacktf-unusual-suggestors-group/&do=findComment&comment=203314 Link to suggestors group where all challenges will be posted Challenges will start Sunday and end at the end of Sunday.

dabaers Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 So questing for the mods. Like the unusual pricing events but with a goal. I like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaroncsn Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Current count: 15/75, 22/25. Almost done with the unpriced. Probably should increase the goal ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowraptor Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I really thought the unpriced would be harder to do than the year outdated hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaroncsn Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 New update, the target for unpriced unusuals has been met. Current count: 15/75 and 25/25. The outdated ones i have not include 2 years outdated unusuals. There are a few that has been updated since the start of this week's event. Let me know if you want me to add those in. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Prof. Sugarcube♥ Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Can you add ones for those who cannot Suggest Unusuals? :c Like 'Update 10 strange weapons' or 'Raise something from (Insert Update name here)' It will give us low-tier suggestors something to do and make us feel like we mean something :c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cares Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I really thought the unpriced would be harder to do than the year outdated hats. There are unpriced hats that have over 40 in existence. Pretty easy if you can cherry pick. Some 1/1 hats even have a bit of activity, enough for a suggestion.

The low tier items are very frequently updated anyway so a challenge would be redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowraptor Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 There are unpriced hats that have over 40 in existence. Pretty easy if you can cherry pick. Some 1/1 hats even have a bit of activity, enough for a suggestion. If cherry picking were really that easy then we'd be able to price every 2013 effect but some are more difficult than others because they just don't sell. Right now 4 of the 9 Kill-a-Watt Tartan Spartans are up on outpost and only one of them has sold in the past two months with two of them not having ever been sold. ... Between scout and soldier alone there are ~1700 outdated and unpriced unusuals. There are only, what, 2000 or so non unusual items in the game right now between all other rarities and classes?

cares Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 -snip- 9 isn't exactly close to 40, and if only one has sold in that time frame you could still make a suggestion, js. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you actually can't for third gen effects and second gen to a certain extent either. http://backpack.tf/vote/id/53f3b00e60dcd5bd1b8b47c3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindacos Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Y'know, you can just edit your current post and say 'Last updated: *date*' it saves this thread from constant posts Bumping this thread often could help more people get into the challenge though and keep it in the first page. At least in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
