Probably because it isn't a "rare carnival item", as that Sombrero lacks a rare-tag. There are two types of carnival items: old ones (typically having a rare-tag, though not all of them do, for example: Parasols) and new ones that came out this year, which also lack a rare-tag and are just newer variants of the old Sombreros, old Star Hats, etc. The newer variants are typically not thought to be worth much, so no one's really going to trade you a white Star Hat for your new Sombrero.
