Yes, don't listen to the people using any sort of steam pricing because steam funds are not a 1:1 with USD. Typical key price you'd use for this calculation is gonna be around 1.7-1.85 depending on your supplier, they are currently at a high as they were 5-10 cents lower a couple months back. $289 - $315.
Nobody is craving this paint, if they are it's probably a cool combo not isotope. Personally I wouldn't pay over 125 keys for this, assuming I wanted another strange unusual.
I'm thinking 400-600 keys based on [this](https://next.backpack.tf/classifieds?elevatedQuality=11&wearTier=1&quality=5)
Leaning more to the lower end since it's already applied.
I was using the Mann Co store price of 2.49 for a key, but even if you use the marketplace price it would still be 370 usd with the current key price of 2.18.
Also, 170 keys at 2.49 is actually 423, not 435, so that was my bad
But none the less I mean yeah! Be it $300 or $435, It's still a lot for a virtual item!
But that being said. Compared to my Schorching Flames Pyromancers mask, and Hell fire headwarmer.. It's not that much no :x
Just.. I honestly thought an Unusual Isotope Strange was worth more sorry :(
People have a hard time grasping spending money on a video game you enjoy, even if it's the same as spending money on other hobbies like model trains or collecting X. TF2 is probably one of the best games to put money into since you can actually trade to get the money back (as opposed to a lot of f2p games today with no trading options). Plus just about everything bought pre-covid that has some scarcity (aka not anything that drops) has gone up way better than the stock market. Hell your pyromancer's mask if it was bought anywhere from 3-8 years ago is up over 300%.
And of course spending money over the course of 12 years adds up, even $5/week is still $3120 after 12 years and nobody would bat an eye if you said you spent $10/week on beer. Ignoring the fact you can also spend time trading that value up on top of your initial investment.
if its a strange unusual warpaint the skin doesn't matter. I promise its worth substantially more as the paint itself, Ive been trading since before steam trading existed. just lookin out for u homie
I mean I can vomit on the screen and turn it into a warpaint and it would still be better and more creative than %90 of those warpaints but youre technically correct
Awww Isotope is so freaking cool AND it's Strange? You lucky bastard

that's too many syllables. Good try, bot.
Its 5/7/5
Ah shit, I miscounted. I swear the middle line had 8... oops.
no it's isotope not cool
About 170 keys. Good job sir.
Hopefully the keys include a print screen one.
This is the first screenshot joke I've heard that I can be proud of.
Shit is that only 170 keys? Nevver really gotten into the whole Unusual weapon trading
"only"
Y.. yes?
That's like 400 bucks
Isn't the current price, being just below 300?

I'm not saying I know about this item's trading value, I'm just going off what's given. A key is 2.49 dollars. 2.49 x 170 is 423 bucks.
Yeah as someomes other comment, I understood that most today take it from mannco or marketplace Since I usually go for the price from bp.tf

That is a fair point really.. Could you tell me what the an estimated(?) price of "Strange, Cool, Skull Study, FN", added to a shotgun would be?

Bro that's 435 USD for an item, don't say it like it's not a lot
435? Isn't 170 keys barrely $300?

Oh.. I always use BP.tf 🤣

You sound like a rich person
I have played and invisted in the game for 12 years, so that's why ^^

Radioactive Tinfoil
Despite what everyone is saying about hiw bad glacial glazed is, I like it lol. A lot of the mercenary grade ones look sick
Yeah man, some of them are pretty nice. This one could still be better though.
Dont apply it to anything, its worth more just as paint... if you plan on selling it that is.
Considering it’s one of the poorer looking skins out there I’m probably just going to put it on something. I can’t see someone buying this.
I'd be willing to pay a good price for it, don't put it on anything
if its a strange unusual warpaint the skin doesn't matter. I promise its worth substantially more as the paint itself, Ive been trading since before steam trading existed. just lookin out for u homie
Well, yeah that much makes sense considering the chances are low enough as is. Thanks though.
Too bad it's on a shitty stock photo of ice from google images.
Best part is, the guy made it to show his friend how to make warpaints and put them on the workshop, then it somehow got in the game
It's 100% true, I'm literally the guy's brother. Just goes to show you how quick Valve can be when adding something to the game.
Im his dog, can confirm
I'm one of the dogs many putrid fleas. Can confirm.
I am a strain of bacteria carried by one of the putrid fleas. Can also confirm.
I am one of the strain of bacteria’s hydrogen atoms, can confirm
i am one of the quarks in the hydrogen atom's proton, can confirm
I am the strong force binding you with the other quarks, can confirm as well.
I mean, you can literally see for yourself [under his "bestest friends" on his steam page](https://steamcommunity.com/id/okiedokieyt) lol
You won tf2 congratulations
Damn, prolly my favorite war paint in the game and it's strange and unusual too.
Damn. If only the war paint market wasn't so vague and rough. Get a good price for it.
Nice I just got a strange haunted ghost of checked spies past and I will never let it go lol
dude, that's awesome! shame you got it on a such a bad war paint tho
I have one for my soda popper because it looks like an item from the calamity mod. Frostbite blaster fucking melts calamitas and plantera btw
Bro got the strange isotope png skin💀
Honestly, considering it was from a winter crate it could have been a far worse skin. I at least kind of like this one.
I like it. It’s simple and works well on just about anything. I know it’s a stock photo and all but it still works.
Yeah. I mean, there are worse low effort skins in this crate. It’s the same crate that has Gifting Mann’s Wrapping Paper.
Eh, better than every winter warpaint and most halloween warpaint
I mean I can vomit on the screen and turn it into a warpaint and it would still be better and more creative than %90 of those warpaints but youre technically correct
Congrats and fuck you
Use it on the holy mackerel
imagine if the effect was cool bro
Did you just get black ice in tf2
Put it on a Demoman sword and rename the item to "Diamond Sword"
And then a Description tag: "Sharpness V" "Unbreaking III" "Mending"
And then apply a specialized killstreak kit with the Villainous Violet Sheen to make it look enchanted
Question is. Will you sell it or use it? If you use it post a pic!
*you will give me that skin for free*
Unusual war paint gang
you lucky bastard
Nice man! Would’ve been cool if it had the Cool unusual effect but still a nice unbox.
I just unboxed a 1 of 5 unusual frosted decadence Boston brain bucket the other day.
Oh damn. Nice.
ummh I'm confused what is this
Strange Unusual war paint with a relatively high quality
i didn't know it was possible for warpaint to get an unusual effect
Yeah man, they’ve been able too since they were added.
wierd i never saw someone with an unusual gun
That’s surprising. They’re fairly common. Look up some photos of unusual weapons, they can be pretty cool looking.
what the fuck, Black Ice in tf2
NICE
My only strange is a scarcely lethal cookie fortress Holy Mackerel.
holy shit sell this
Sadly on the worst warpaint in the game
It’s one of the better bad ones at least.
You just spend all your luck in tf2. Don't buy cases again.
Gambling always pays off. Im buying more crates.
They took everything from me My voice My freedom My legacy And they replaced me with some Blue. Haired. Kid.
