ImABaldEagle 3 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Just struck gold the other day and unboxed this. I've been having a real hard time finding any pricing info on not only similar items, but also war paints in general. There doesn't seem to be any listings on SCM for this, or any other war paint that's MW, Commando, Strange, & Unusual. The most relevant information I could find was the listings on marketplace, where I see other Commando grade, Minimal Wear, Strange, Unusual war paints are listed for $300-$350, despite other listings for Mercenary grade paints being even higher, closer to the $450-$500 range. Is there any kind of repository for sale prices of similar items? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0093 12 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 90 key is nice. Beaser and Knightfury69 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImABaldEagle 3 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thanks, but 90 keys seems a bit low to me... Maybe it's because I'm new to this, but everywhere I can see indications of pricing, it looks like it would be closer to the 180-250 key range. https://marketplace.tf/browse/tf2?squality=5&stype=War+Paint&sstrange=1&swear=2&ssortfield=min_price Am I missing something? 1nk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ImABaldEagle 3 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 LOL sorry. I block everyone who adds me making requests like that as I assume they're trying to scam me. I'd definitely like to get more than $200 for it though. I'll unblock you in the meantime Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Next time just run their profile through rep.tf or backpack.tf to check their rep, inv size and if they have a bright purple badge or name that suggests they have backpack.tf premium when they add you 1nk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll keep an eye out for that next time. Additionally, where did you see the sale of the FT one? Is there a way I could search for that? 1nk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The war paint I have is Spider's Cluster, which is a Commando paint. I think I could expect a bit more than what you previously mentioned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joekiller 3 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 FYI nearly all Strange Unusual Skins move at quicksale ~50-75 keys and then up the market to about ~110 - ~125 for nearly anything. But MW Commando could go for up to 200 keys. I'd advertise at 200. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlazingHailfire 4 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Seems pretty solid, I can definitely see around 175 keys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Norah 167 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 My guess would be roundabout 150 keys. STR Unu paints have a floor of around $200-220 IIRC, and any "good" paints can sell between that and $300 pretty easily. You mentioned grades in another reply, while generally the higher the grade the higher the value, this doesn't really apply to Commando grade items. It's Assassin/Elite that end up making a difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strange 80 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Just check sales on SCM and divide them by the median key price of the day and time it sold Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's too rare, and the people who do unbox it or similar items won't want to sell it on SCM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lazyneers 17 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 its worth 175 keys minimum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In this situation it's a case of seeing what you can get for it, list high then gradually lower it then see what happens I guess and maybe consider negotiation if any Quote Link to post Share on other sites
