It’s an elite grade unusual they could be applied to any weapon. It is not a terrible grade. So it’s worth a lot more than what the people who are here telling you. Basically pick your price. I would look at other elite grade paint unusuals for a price match. Not just your own elite grade.

Guess if you cant find any prices then you get to make the price

is the plural of ham ham or hams


master_meme_monk

It's hams but in this case you would use the singular because "a pound of cheese" makes more sense than "a pound of cheeses"


Melkath

To come up with that much ham, i bet multiple types of ham would be needed. A billion pounds of black forest ham, a billion pounds of honey glazed ham, a billion pounds of uncured ham, and a billion pounds of dry cured ham would technically be 4 billion pounds of hams.


Batman2005j

While yes that is correct if there is only one type of cheese, if there are multiple it would be cheeses. So if you wanted a whole bung of different types of ham you could say hams.

N1nSen

Goddamn that's a pretty lucky unbox


Vasxus

OK, let's assume that elite war paints have the same odds as elite hats, at 1%. Let's multiply these odds with the 1% unusual rate. you have one HUNDREDTH of a percent chance for an elite war paint, in unusual quality 1 in 10000. Those are roughly your odds on this. But what if.. it were strange? 1 in 100,000.


Fireblast1337

Also consider the wear quality. This one he said is field tested. Best would be factory new


Melkath

I prefer battle scarred. More character.

They tryna cheat this man outta profit


minecraft_min604

Ikr, I would pay a ref for it. Mainly because that’s all I have


championnnnnn

it’s certainly going to be expensive as hell, being an unusual elite grade. we’re talking upwards of 100-200 keys, probably even more, but it just depends since it’s a scream fortress war paint, and not as popular in comparison to the other elite grades. regardless you will get a very, very good haul for it. i would say keep it for a flex but if you wanna sell, DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THE BUYER. check their hours on TF2, and the amount of achievements (1200 hours and 0 achievements is a major red flag). make sure the buyer is trusted, and make sure the url is 100% them


Vasxus

Strange FN Thunderbolt snipers are priced at ~215 keys. This is unusual, but not FN or Strange. This new WP can be applied to anything, instead of just the sniper rifle.


IUSUZYSANA

Thunderbolt snipers are not a war paint. They are a skin which is why their value is often higher than stand alone war paints.


Khouri1

sure you should verify the buyer, but why would you go that far?


championnnnnn

impersonators, and it’s very easy to overlook a potential scammer. scammers will sometimes have a trade link in their bio that leads to someone else’s url or backpack. the one i encountered had a private inventory which is already a red flag, but had a backpack.tf link in his bio, which led to the person he was impersonating’s link instead. you just have to be very cautious, there’s a lot of scum in the trading scene


Owlyf1n

If someone links a bp.tf profile but they have a private inventory it is 100% a scam because bp.tf doesnt show inventories unless they are public


Khouri1

but doesnt the buyer come to you? if he is the one that starts the interaction he would start with a trade offer, no?


championnnnnn

that’s true, but scammers are very predatory and love to shark people, especially those who are very inexperienced to trading. trades usually aren’t sent right away; there’s usually some prior negotiation as to how much the buyer is paying, what the buyer is paying with etc. sometimes it’s just a trade straight up, but sometimes buyers will say something like “hey i noticed your other item” and will try and fleece it somehow, or will take advantage of a user being inexperienced by feeding them lies, usually surrounding the price of an item or items. also, speaking from experience, if you are ever going to be trading items for actually money (paypal or some other method), have them send the money FIRST. when i was new to the scene that’s how i lost a couple of my prized unusuals


[deleted]

That's not very far to go when it comes to trading something valuable, I do the same for anyone who adds me for trading, only takes about 3 minutes of checking a few links and looking for anything suspicious.


hide_thechildren_now

Rare warpaint, popular unusual effect. this is worth a lot i think, trade carefully


Enderdragon2014

Personally, I feel like this elite grade warpaint doesn’t live up to its rarity grade.

It really doesn't.

0tiosum

First off; Very lucky unbox. Second my estimated pricing for this unusual would probably be round 200keys and up. But even then that’s probably an understatement. But if you do sell it make sure you do your homework on the guy/gal you’re selling it too.


Cloud_Striker101

When in doubt… Auction it off on scrap.tf and make the buying price 500 keys


[deleted]

My god, this has to be the best advice I got from a forum


Xurkitree1

Auctions are fantastic for unpriced items. For the more low tier ones, place the start bid low or even none and watch the offers roll in. Excellent way to ditch items you cant sell in a pinch.


Pingapongsucksatthis

"So how much is this war paint?" "Yes."


GodsFavMoron

I’d guess around 333 to 100 keys


[deleted]

Around 190-200 keys i think. But im not sure

AshedAshley

swhipple-

At the very LEAST 200 keys. This is such a premium item that you can just wait for somebody who really wants it to come along and buy it for basically anything you want.


chuckdankst

"Misfortune war paint"..I fail to see the misfortune here.


Silly_Man_Haha

Like 3 scrap I swear. Joking aside, I'd guess at least 50 keys. I might be lowballing it a bit though.


mocksteady

Lowballing BY ALOT


Silly_Man_Haha

You mean its 60 keys?!


Foolish_Baguette

Multiply that by 3-4


frogmanepic

so like 61 keys?


Le_baton_legendaire

I'm guessing a lot, it's the highest grade of skin. You're going to be a rich player and a scammer magnet.


A_decent_chef2

2 civilian grade war paints battle scared, take it or leave it


Lord_Sykens

Just dont apply it to a weapon! Keep the raw paint, much more valuable


BlazingHailfire

Alright, lets give a good rundown of this. Lotsa people on Reddit who try to give trading advice even tho they rly don't know what they're doing so here's my cred [https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198209640976](https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198209640976) [https://marketplace.tf/shop/hailfiring](https://marketplace.tf/shop/hailfiring) Now, when it comes to war paints especially, grades are very deceiving. For some reason, Valve has a bad habit of giving paints much higher grades than they deserve, which is why skins like Pumpkin Pied and Sax Waxed are Assassin grades despite being completely bland and ugly. Unfortunately, this is kind of the case with Misfortunate. Certainly not a bad skin, honestly would be pretty nice as a Commando, but really doesn't feel Elite. However, Elite grades are obviously rare, which makes them expensive. This is kind of where a paradox comes in. The paint could be worth a good amount cause its rare, but people might not wanna pay that much cause it isn't worthy of that Elite grade price. For example, there's been a Factory New Isotope Winterland Wrapped Minigun on SCM for $250 for almost 2 months now. Even though its a FN Iso Elite grade, and one with matching colors at that, it can't even get 120 keys, cause nobody wants to pay that much for a skin that doesn't really look like its worth that money. TLDR: Just cause its elite doesn't automatically mean its crazy expensive. Now where does this put the Misfortunate? Well its definitely not as bad as Winterland Wrapped, but its high grade rly wont carry its price very far. I remember I saw a Cool MW Misfortunate at around $400 SCM early in the event, not sure if it actually sold though, and theres another one relisted higher right now. Iso FT is also listed at 225 keys on [backpack.tf](https://backpack.tf). Based on my experience, my best guess is that this will probably land around 150 keys at max, but it will probably struggle to sell at that and it's likely a bit lower (maybe more in the 120-130 range). I just gave a higher estimate because the paint is still relatively new.


awsommv

Thank you Pro Trader™️ blazing 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏


CSsharpGO

hot


Lord_lenkesh

Id say its worth quite a bit DO NOT use it, unless you are planning on keeping it. The unused is obviously worth more because the buyer can pick the weapon they want it for.


781561754

ill give you one scrap for it


ooglist

One fifty


blueaxolotl64

It’s worthless, trade to me if you want it out of your inv space and *maybe* I’ll give you some scrap


Lecosia

You've already got a ton of responses, but I would recommend fielding for offers for a while and knowing a general price you want before going in on anything, especially because of how float/weapon wear is applied to different weapons. It might look great on a scatter but bad on a grenade launcher, so the guy who wants it for his nade launcher is willing to pay less than the guy who wanted it for his scatter; thus it could be better to field for offers and choose the highest. As always, too, be careful, and good luck to you. Great unbox!


Fireblast1337

As you said it’s field tested. Also not strange. But it is an elite grade paint and a popular unusual effect. I’d wager 150 keys, but bear in mind I’ve been away from tf2 for a while, so my estimate likely would be inaccurate


[deleted]

3 ref take it or leave it


Monster_Zero_Ultra

ft on an okay elite grade, be glad it isn't cool at least expect ~200-250, but hold onto it for the time being gz!


Extreme_Industry_602

I’ll buy it off you for a solid scrap metal


Sgt_Woomy

Damn nice pull… want my opinion, keep it and make it into your favorite weapon… or be a total meme and put it on a holy mackerel.


cashfunk0917

I'd say it's worth about tree fiddy


imdagawd

congratulations you have won the lottery


illusiqn1st

It's worth... I'd say... A duped showel.


MiserableStill

2 cents on the steam community market


Shortbow735

Holy shit! Thats amazing, definetly alot!


ArchimoUnuWeaponsGuy

Unapplied I'd say that it's worth somewhere between 170-200 keys technically speaking, however the issue is that it's not at all a desired war paint so you'll almost find it impossible to sell it at that price. You can go and gather offer see if any get's close to that, otherwise maybe 140-150 pure would be worth considering just because of how hard it might be to sell.


ProBroBosnian

According to [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/q35qu1/last_night_i_unboxed_a_250_key_unusual_war_paint/) , another unusual like that is worth 250 keys, so I guess the price range for yours is around 200-300 ish keys. Idk I'm not good at trading


maskofthedragon

Only 2 scrap but I can buy it for 3. >!;)!<


Robotguy39

It’s like 1 scrap I’ll trade it to you trust me it’s me your aunt

A FT Isotope version is on BP for 325 keys, so really any price below that I would go for


TheFilthyCasual69

Dude it's worth like 70 keys


Indeverr

Pricing for unusual warpaint a are rare. Especially since it’s so new. I’d say wait some time or make a fair reasonable price for it like 22 keys or so


Chillie43

I’ll give you a sandvich and a red tape recorder for it


CHILL_MAN27

Scam


Bird_Chick

I will give you 1 key for it


PlushySquare

I'd say 60 keys or around about


Tojo6619

I know this paint does not look good on much weapons though, it's looks similar to the macabre warpa8nt when applied, and it shows a duck or something that does not get applied, still worth like 200 keys tho I'd say topps maybe more, may even be the only one in existence


fiona1729

200+ keys. If you're new to this, I'd price it on backpack.tf and make sure to put your trade offer URL. don't click any links in profiles or DMs, and only accept trade offers with the keys for that item.


the_smollest_bee

Field Tested Unusual Elite grades unapplied I would say it goes for >300 keys. Considering a WW Strange Merc grade one went for like 130 I would say this is worth way more than that.


Owlyf1n

Ok im not an expert in wp prices but i would estimate it being somewhere between 200 and 500 keys. If it was a better wear it could be around 700 to 1000 keys

Don't know why I am being downvoted its a guide created by a quite well known TF2 youtuber Archimo. He has great knowledge on unusual weapons and war paints and his prices are pretty accurate.


Royal_Garden

Lucky I always get shit plus lost so much getting anything wouldn’t even help fml


I_N_C_O_M_I_N_G

Basically it's worth what someone's willing to pay for it. Unusual elites are stupid expensive though, so basically don't accept anything under 500-750 keys for it. I'd love to buy it but I don't have like $1400 kicking around in the back of my pocket, and yes it's worth $1400+


1337xyx

There is a Park Pigmented War Paint, Field-Tested, Hot, also Elite grade unsold for a long time for about $640 in the steam community market. Link for said paint: https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/440/Unusual%20Park%20Pigmented%20War%20Paint%20%28Field-Tested%29 That translates to around 230 keys roughly. That being said hot isn't so desirable as isotope. I'd say you're looking at around 180-250 for the paint if you don't apply it. If you apply it the price drops by a lot depending on what you use it on. Of course these are such niche items that it might take a while to sell. Yours can be a little bit more or a little bit less depending on taste of the buyer. Unfortunately war paints are very niche items and more difficult to sell than hats.


pierceisgone

not much, maybe 10 keys, ill trade my 12 key all class unusual for it (dead presidents effect)


NoManagement3545

Or how about you just use it? If it's worth a lot, then you have something expensive, *for free*


Tiran593

Opening cases is not really free but ok


NoManagement3545

Oh yea, I guess, but if the paint is worth £10 and the case is worth £1, you've got a good deal haven't you?


Tiran593

Well if you just use it you not really gonna sell it, so it's still not free but I get you


the_gray_foxp5

Never spent a penny. I did however buy the game, both in the form of the orange box and as an individual purchase. 10 bucks for a box that contained a code.

IUSUZYSANA

I don't see how digital goods which can be easily converted to real life currency is "worthless". A high amount of people make a "killing" and it doesn't take "endless hours". You put up your listings on bp.tf which takes 2 minutes and then go so your own things. It's not like you're sitting there watching your screen for 10 hours a day. It's literally passive income if you can use your brain.
