Keks Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 So I wanted to ask the price of a Strange FN High Roller's medi-gun skin that I bought last year. I haven't been active in TF2 in any way for the past months, and now that I'm trying to cash out, wanted to ask the price for it. Saw freelance-grade gentlemann skins having buy orders for 80. could this potentially fetch 1,000 keys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Last sale was 460 keys in November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighton25 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Easily 900-1100 because each freelance qs at 100-120 cost to craft is easily 1000 keys on a GOOD day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalMalisha Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Costs to craft a strange fn high rollers medi is over 1000 keys so yes it is possible, last sale is considered low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafting cost would be over 1000 keys with current FN Civilian prices over the 10 key mark (only a 25% chance to hit medi gun). Medi Gun is the most desired outcome so 1000 should definitely be possible, most likely even more in a few months. The 460 sale mentioned by Brown is not accurate anymore with the current Civ prices.

TacoTown Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Yes, easy. I even know a guy personally who would pay that. Price to craft has jumped an insane amount recently, and the last sale was probably low, it was Gibson selling and he only sells when someone is going to truly appreciate an item, and will probably give a discount.

Skibuster Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 In todays market. You can easily fetch a 1000 key offer on that medi gun. Theres a bunch of people who would be willing to fork out that much. That previous sale is just considered VERY low, don't base your selling price off it.

Zodiak Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 On my way to watch this becoming a golden pan price next year at this exact date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thE siLEncE Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Wow, these escalated like crazy. Glad I could secure my minimal wear one before it became unobtainable (likely 200+ keys now?), although my hopes for getting the top shelf knife is likely gone. I see even Field-Tested civ grade skins are approaching 1 key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Bakula Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Man, I really should've been more proactive in my side quest to get a Strange FN Top Shelf Minigun. I'm sill like 934 weapons shy of getting there. Ah, well. At least what I've got so far still looks classy as fuck and isn't gonna lose value anytime soon.

Flamadin Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The FN civilian prices were holding pretty steady for the past few months with everyone working Christmas stuff or Halloween stuff, but in the last couple of weeks they have starting moving up again. There were a bunch for sale at like $20, but now it is at least $25 and it doesn't appear that many are available so it could jump quickly.

Since contract weapons don't come in strange, the only method is to attach stat clocks to the civilian grade ones and trade up. Additionally, to get a Strange Factory New weapon, you need all of your ingredients to be Strange and Factory New as well. The only way to save money is by using Strange FNs from a different collection, but that has the caveat of each one reducing your chance of getting a result from the collection you want by 10%.

Actually, you can also mix wears. Again, simply reducing your odds to get a good wear same as you mentioned for other collections though. You cannot mix Strange and Non-strange.

Not quite true - I did 10x trade ups of 5x BS and 5x FN to test this (also seems to be how a lot of the hardcore tradeup nerds understand it works), all of them either turned out BS or FN. It doesn't average your item wears - it chooses one of your inputs at random and upgrades it. So you could put 1 FN gentlemanns skin in a trade up with 9 FT, WW, BS skins and potentially get a FN gentlemanns out of it. Theoretically, you could use 1x gentlemann skin, 99x other civilian skins and 9 merc grade cosmetics and end up with a Commando grade gentlemanns- it's just the odds aren't at all favourable in that scenario.

Still, with the amount of investment needed in the first place, it's hard to justify using the cheaper stuff to reduce chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be ideal, but you see a FN civilian grade skin from the Gentlemann's collection costs somewhere around 6-7 keys, so you would see why someone would not like to go all out on these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoTown Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 For anyone interested in a video example, I did a 100% Gentlemanne's Commando tradeup recently, very possibly the last one ever, and recorded it for people in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
∑dsel Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I'm happy with my collection. RL=FN, SMG=FT and MediGun=MW. Couldn't get them all in FN quality (except the Rocket Launcher); but casino themes are my fucking drug I couldn't let them pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
