To me atleast it adds nothing. Not sure about others.

Yes thx, I'm talking about the unu as a whole. But ok I understand.

You'd be getting 15-17 Keys

I'd actually pay less if the option to remove a gifter's name didn't exist

Pfffft, I got my double spelled strange spec ks stickybomb signed by him and I thought it was the coolest thing. But I honestly wouldn't pay any extra for it on an unusual. If it was on any weapon tho hecc ye I'd like it, but otherwise meh. 

[Urist]

You can probably find someone who would pay a little more for it. I would if I could.

Got you, thanks for your answer and the nuance you're bringing.

I think it would be absolutely awesome to find someone buying anything in the first place...  Without delving (see what I did there?) into too much fun (again) the tf2 economy is an economy of sellers, there are no real buyers, only traders that will never pay the true price for an item.

14-16k seems abt right

[Bob the Unsymmetrical]

Imagine paying extra for custom names, descriptions and gift tags, I couldn't care less of a tf2 youtuber/celebrity's name on your item unless I am a fanboy of theirs.

Either way, 15-16.

(Price of how much user signs item for / 2 + original item price = value someone would pay if they liked that user)

Who is this squirrel furry guy or something idk i dont play tf2

[HyperToe™]

A person that loves Squirrel-who-ever the fuck is out that is out there looking for his items is waiting for you to sell this at the median backpack price and then he'll offer you low-end because "who the fuck is that", and then they'll laugh all the way to their backpack because they were actually a secret fan.

 

At the end of the day you would've bought and sold it for a profit nonetheless if you were a good trader, so who cares?

This brings me back to when people used to mark up items because well-known traders were in the item history

A random ass youtuber/trader with like 20k followers is not nearly as good as literally the creator of the game. I'd pay a fuck ton for robin signed items too

Being in the history and having your name on the item are two different things. I agree that the "trader name in the item history" was some bullshit... Good thing this stopped because I can't imagine the price of some common items after just a few trades. At the end of the day some traders loose and some others loose less.

I could understand if it was an iconic part of a really big name youtuber's loadout (eg muselk's kill-a-watt rack or something) but if it's like 'strange crit-a-cola with muselk in history, at only double going rate!' then yeah... that's 100% laughable

Got you, well, thank you everyone for your input, that helped me greatly.
