Unusual effect: Burning Flames
Fair Price
backpack.tf priced 3 days ago
Steam publishes these for every effect together
Procedure
Search the Unusual you are considering and choose its exact effect.
Steam listings for that effect, its backpack.tf price, and the Steam offer book and sales history for the item.
Good Buy, Fair Price, Caution, or Insufficient Data — with every source and its age on the page.
Ground rule
Two hats with the same name and different effects can be worth very different amounts. briefcase.tf keeps them apart.
Listings and the backpack.tf price for the exact effect you chose. The evidence behind the verdict.
The Steam offer book and sales history, which Steam only publishes for every effect together. Context, never a substitute.
When the effect has no reliable price, the case says Insufficient Data. It never borrows another effect's price.
Findings
1.72× On the median, the Steam price sits 1.72 times above trade value.
Buying low on Steam to gain value in keys runs the wrong way, and not by accident: systematically. briefcase.tf exists to keep you out of a bad one-off deal, not to promise profit.
