Edvis_Knife Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hello, I haven't been playing/trading in tf2 for like 3 years. About 2 months i came back to trade a little bit. I am kinda curious about Invasion Community Update unusuals. Why nebula is worth so much? I just looked at Universal Translator with nebula effect and it goes around 137 keys. But there is like 179 in existance... Its not really so unusual if 179 copies of this already exist. Why price is so high for this unusual? That hat is kinda crap immo and because so many of these exist, price should be like 40 keys at most. Or maybe it is such good effect (maybe the best so far in this game) that it is really worth 140 keys? Could anyone sort this out for me thank you.

Keks Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 are you calling this a high price? it's a god-tier all-class unusual. 137 keys is cheap. besides, it was about 180 keys before, and dropped in price by a ton of keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offline Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Yes, it’s pretty much that the effect is so beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edvis_Knife Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 But 179 exists. How can it still cost that much. Im comparing it with other effect prices these universal translators have. I mean, if it was rare like 5 unusuals in existence then yes, i agree with that price. But now 179 in existance... Mind blown. I thought these were bugged unusuals or like some kind of unusual bug. But it looks like these came from normal unbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zytoep Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Nebula is just an effect that lots of people want, which drives the price up. Even on a meh hat like the Universal Translator, it’s still expensive because it’s an all-class hat with a really nice effect. The Invasion hats are also the only hats that can have these effects.

Raeindeer Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 If you think about it like this it makes more sense: theres only XXX (few hundred of all hats combined) nebula hats in the game and they are not being unboxed anymore. Everyday, more burning, scorching, ... Get unboxed so getting the desired effect with those is not so difficult and not limited in numbers. Nebula is widely considered one of the best effectsw so even a shitty hat gets a high value... Look at the price of the nebula spacemann, theres 15 of them (not exactly super rare either) with buyorders for 1200 keys... All class misx ofcourse, but it's the supply and demand for this effect that determines this price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond jozu Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 a lot of people favour the nebula hat much and there isnt alot of all-class hats that is in the invasion case. moreover the case is running out and will soon be.100+ keys on this item is actually the cheapest nebula you can afford since the captain space mann was no longer unboxable as an unusual as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon, the cases will be gone and no longer unboxable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Theres basically only like 5 hats you can unbox with nebula on them, and 2 of em are single class restricted hats, so if u want the effect for any of the other 7 classes theres only three choices, two if you dont have 2000 keys to spend. The universal trans is the cheaper one, and is a little more inconspicuous than the phononaut, so the demand meets the supply for the most part. It's like if they only put the 2018 moon effects on like 5 hats, rather than every other case and its hats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they added the case bonus, there has been ZERO other effects of Spacemanns and less than 20 invasion effects exist compare to Phononauts. So the only hats that can be Unusual from the Quarantine cases are, Universal Translator, Corona Australis and Sucker Slug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
