Karl88 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 So apparently you can't price skins based off the price you paid for the war paint. Do you think you should be able to do that if the skin is worth over 10 keys and there are no sales of the item itself https://backpack.tf/suggestion/60f57bac52ee366bbf09ab0d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thE siLEncE Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 No, as soon as you apply a War paint, the item will lose value. An unapplied War paint is more valuable than a War paint already applied to a specific weapon, since the unapplied one has the option to be applied to anything. Where the applied one is stuck at (for example) a wrench. Also, regarding your comments about collector's items being priced based on the chemistry kits, I can see how that can make sense. Since a chemistry kit can only provide one thing, a specific collector's item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mei Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Skins are automatically worth less than they are when applied, especially if it's on some niche weapon like the Soda Popper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidecker Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I mean it's only logical that a war paint loses (a lot of) value when you apply it. Same as with normal paint. A craft hat isn't worth 2 keys only because you painted it lime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bakula Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Of course not. It's for the same reason you don't add the full value of an unapplied paint, strange part, or killstreak kit to an item they've been attached to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druwu Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I sold a 250k strange cool factory new skin to somebody, and they specifically told me to apply it on a disciplinary action before trading it to me so they could get it priced, even going as far as trading me half up front and half with the skin. Weirdest $200 profit I've ever made but I'll take it ig sadly you'll have to do that if you want to keep skins and have them priced, it's kind of a meme but that's the way she goes.

Who in the hell buys a $500 skin just to put it on a Disciplinary Action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
