Here is math:

All Botkiller weapon prices added (including current medi-gun price)

30 + 17 + 38 + 49 + 25 + 33 + 18 + 17 + 28 = 255

Divide by 9 to get the average

255 / 9 = 28.33~

To the comment above me...

I did not include why it made since to average it I have already commented this to the botkiller wrench. First you have inflation, all new items have it. Then the price slowly goes down if the item drops infinitely. If the item does not drop infinitely such as the Earbuds, then prices will rise depending on the price and demand. The price effects demand because it limits who can buy an item.

So since the botkiller weapons drop infinitely and new players can collect them, the price should go down just like all the other botkiller weapons have been.

Also demand will be driven away to the festive strange weapons, because a hype is being built up by sellers.

To the comment above...

Yes you're right, average does not define supply and demand. But if we are talking strictly price on demand here, then the medi-gun would not be at the top. It would probably be Pyro, Soldier, or Scout.

Now on the topic of your last sentence, just about every botkiller weapon except for the mini-gun and medi-gun, have had significant and drastic drops in prices. The GBK Wrench dropped more than 36 refined within the last week. So have other GBK weapons, maybe not as much, but definitely by several keys.

Now since the medi-gun has the same drop rates as all other botkiller items why should it have a special price? There is more demand for other stanges, and the price is simply ridiculous compared to the other GBK weapons.

The point is, it doesnt matter how much it drops. (no, value is effected on how much an item does drop) It matters on how much people want it. There is 23 more SF Mediguns than there are SF Wrenchs. Wrench is rarer, but goes for more than a buds less. (We are talking about botkiller weapons, not the festives. Completely different pricing range on their values because they stopped dropping)

But, let's break down your flawed argument further.

New items are not "inflated". (TF2outpost users are usually the first to set prices, asking for very high amounts, causing a short term price inflation) They are new. They are in high demand, thus expensive from the get go. (Yes, new weapons are usually expensive from the get go, but then a day or two later people realize an item can be crafted or able to drop. Thus the first Outpost users get to set prices for the first couple days) Holiday item are inflating right now. They were (relatively) low, and then increased in value. That's inflation. (No, what happened was the crates stopped dropping, and there was no demand because almost everyone had at least a unique festive. So summer this year comes around and prices of festive weapons start to rise because they don't drop anymore. Now slowly more people are wanting festives, and the people who sell them can raise prices because of rising demand. You definitely already know this, no sarcasm. But you are right in the inflation of the BMOC, because of the spreadsheet admin)

They are not "infinitely" dropping. (Yes they technically are) They require money being pumped in to the game to achieve them. (Here is the 'technically' part, are keys infinite?

No, but there is a huge supply of them, and more keep showing up. So if people keep playing MvM compared to buying keys, then there will still be a big supply of these weapons. Definitely not infinite but keys aren't ether in the same thought)

The people that WANT the sf's are increasing the demand. You can't sell something if there is no buyer. (No, no you can't sell stuff if it doesn't exist. So yea we have the same understanding here on how demand effects value. Though like the first paragraph drop rates need to be factored in)

For the next reply, why would Pyro be a higher demand? Just like those sf flamethrowers are going for 2 buds and those SF mediguns are going for 12 keys....oh... wait. (I really hate sarcasm, I really do. I find it's only use is to stress people. Though, when I mention the list 'Pyro, Soldier, Scout' I thought I was being a little more clear. I was talking as 'Low, Medium, High', but I made a mistake here. I was thinking price range and not demand, I should of said Heavy instead of Pyro to make things clearer to what I want to say)

Now, you make the claim that there is more demand for the other GBKs. Why? How did you come up with this? I await your reply =/ (Well I hate to reference TF2Outpost but, if you search for people who want the medi-gun you get times on when those offers where posted. Now at the moment 11:30 PST the last offer on the first page was about a day and a half ago for the medi-gun. I looked at the last offer of the first page for a GBK Knife since it's my favorite weapon. The last offer was a day ago, though the entire page of trades besides the last one was offered in the last 12 hours. 19 trades total within 12 hours, but the medi-gun had 15 within the last 12 hours compared to the knife. Same thing with the Rocket Launcher, but it had 23 trades within 12 hours. So there is my claim. Though by a 'System on Demand' in sense is that the Rocket Launcher should increase in price higher than the medi-gun now)

My Note: I enjoy talking to you, you brought up many questions. I only hope my answers are satisfactory to you and for others, since I can see you have much experience in trading i respect you. Please if you have anymore questions I will try to answer them.
