Must have been a pretty cool hat
The partyhats were a limited time item available through the consumption of "Christmas Crackers", which you had to open with another player. They were only available for one season way back, and were tradeable. Because they could be traded to other players, and because they were limited, they shot up in price, and their cost only grew as inflation occurred.
I had the goal once of gaining enough gold to purchase the cheapest color (purple, coincidentally my favorite), and by the time I had enough gold, the price had risen by 100x what I had saved.
The company has made a point to not allow any limited-time items to be tradeable since.
