Pricing Strange Unusual Weapons with Old Trades Exception?

[E-Arkham]

I've got quite a few strange unusual weapons that I've wanted to make price suggestions for ever since I got them.

 

Unfortunately that functionality simply has not been available on the site until just recently.

 

Since I'm interested in pricing 1-of-1 unusuals that will never be traded again, can I use the prices I paid for them even though those trades are old?

 

For example, I have a Min Wear Strange Isotope Butcher Bird Grenade Launcher ( https://backpack.tf/item/4707218574) that I paid 110 keys for back in April 2016 ( http://i.imgur.com/rYMclXH.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/wkRh6BQ.jpg -- there are a couple of field tested ones, but this is the only min wear). It will never leave my backpack again, so unless I can use this evidence, or in the extremely unlikely chance that an identical one is unboxed AND traded, this will never get a price.

 

Can we get exceptions to the old evidence rule since the ability to price strange unusuals wasn't available if the item is 1-of-1 and in a collector's backpack?

Some question around a topic. Whats the point of this type of suggestions - http://backpack.tf/suggestion/58a2352fc4404570277cb75e, when item in your inventory is still non priced? - http://backpack.tf/item/4097069901 . Will it be fixed? Also is it possible now to do price suggestion for strange unusual hats?

The issue with making an exception for this would mean having to make an exception for all of them including ones that were traded for unusuals that have since been updated (or some that may have been updated to all class/multiclass since the trades happened) which could make the prices rather inflated and not the same value as what was paid at the time.

I hope this does get fixed. I would be disappointed if they cant find a way to do this and make it functional especially since its been so long since Strange Unusual Weapons were released. I know its probably a difficult thing to do but I would donate to that shit if it means the time can be put into it (and also making a functional search option for individual unusual weapons/strange unusual weapons instead of listing every single one with 1 of the effects and having to go through the pages to find if its 1 of 1)

Well, we can have this discussion again if these can actually get priced. As mentioned by Pyotoru, the suggestion is not for the proper item and the items in your backpack will still remain unpriced.

 

But I agree with Findiculous that it wouldn't be a great idea. Just can't assume that item values stay the same a year after a sale happened.

Yeah, I was just thinking of only the 1-of-1s that I paid for in pure. Of the 16 strange unusuals I have in my collection, only 3 of them would qualify (the others being not 1-of-1s or they were off the steam market or mixed), so it's not like it'd be a free-for-all. More like the current exception for pricing based on single sales if the item is 1-of-1 and goes to a collector.

 

I didn't even notice that they're still not being priced correctly in the backpack view. I'd just seen the recent suggestions and thought it was all fixed. Guess we'll need to wait and revisit the topic later. Really sucks that some of mine would be forever without a price just because the site didn't support it at the time of the sale.

 

Thanks for the replies & thoughts.

Maybe in the future who knows. They recently added the Halloween effects so maybe there is some hope that it could be in the pipeline to get fixed for the stats pages.

On a completely seperate note I envy that Spellbound Rack :3
