this is using common sense and is a "theory" on why items like srmva, warthulu, ewd, rwd, chaplin are titled as "bad demand" and why people try to think theyre worth less (bad owners)
starting off with the first reason people are misleaded into thinking these items are worth less: the demand hierarchy
ok so the demand hierarchy is the hierarchy of items by demand usually applying in a 20k radius lets per say you were a CF owner CF is easy to trade because of so many people wanting it. it's not more than 25k because that's its stable value, most trades above that are generally OP's an item like CF is exceptionally easy to trade with, while an item like chaplin is not, which is a reason why: a. people go for CF when they have chaplin, because they know they can get more beneficial trades b. people avert from Chaplin/etc. because they know its much harder to trade
then people go under the assumption that because of this, the item is therefore worth less if you're one of those people hush it, that's an uneducated opinion that doesn't need to ruin a rare items value
onto another reason, "it cant get a high demand item so therefore it has even worse demand" non owners usually will assume it has 0 demand for 2 reasons: a. its rare (doesn't actually have anything to do with the amount of people wanting it, if anything it BOOSTS it) b. it cant get an amazing demand item at a -10k value (we just went over why, and this is a bad contender to demand lowering)
another reason: people hate the item this usually goes to bastet only but every rare has haters rs, bastet (errone), chrono, etc.
another reason people belive it may be lower: bad owners these are usually owners that do one of these many things: a. raptrade b. undervalue their item because they think its -5k the value of what it cant get c. hate their own item (it seriously happens like why) d. all of the above
moral: if chaplin cant get cf it doesn't mean its 10k, noobs.

yo honourable mentions "but this rare is ugly" goes under the "people hate the item" category "but its hoarded" doesn't actually make it have less demand, it just means people are tricked into beliving they are tricked about the demand and that they are the chosen one, foreseer of all lies KING OF THE UNI- |

| tl;dr: Demand is how often an item gets decent offers. Low demand means less offers, not less value. |
