A question about strange Construction PDA'S
How many of these even exist? Is there any method of obtaining them? And is the market pricing currently decent for the item?

How many? There were over 160 on the market and only 2 SK ones on the market. Obtaining? I do not know. The market prices are currently for strange: $18.35 and for strange SK is $167 even. To lvl up, they count sentry kills, dispenser heals and teleported uses

The only way to obtain a strange construction PDA was from one of the salvaged crates, which was significantly more rare than your usual one. The crates do still exist, but if you want the strange PDA, you are better off just going for it directly.

The salvaged crate itself that held the item was an extremely rare drop, so it alone costed a few keys. Then you had to be lucky enough to unlock it and receive the Strange PDA. Luckily, I got the crate as a drop for free from somebody who used a pallet of crates, and I miraculously unboxed the Strange PDA. They sell for about $20 on the steam market which is a better alternative for obtaining the item than trying to unbox it.

According to backpack .tf, ~8,500 exist, though it is likely more exist because the site only counts instances of the item in public backpacks. You can either 1)Trade for one 2)Uncrate one from a #50 salvaged crate( a bad choice) or 3)Buy one from a market place. The current price is probably decent, as the price has not varied much since its initial release cost.

Huh, I wonder what changed to cause such a drastic increase in price in just 4 and a half years.

I'm not a math expert but by going a long shot.
It might be be around $313.48-$550.43 in the next 5 years due to inflation or something related about the economy being affected.
