8 key CO http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/4387922

Alright... enough proof to see that 21 ref is perfect right now... little over 8 keys... As opposed to the 9.5 keys suggested... only one of your posts (4325314) could REACH that price...

I can get mine at 8.5 keys on average, but C/Os are between 8-9 keys per crate nowadays, and most sellers / hoarders won't accept it.

I got these for around 9 keys

Buds for 2 crates + 8 keys - assuming buds are 26 and I paid 9 keys for each crate.

Here's one I stumbled upon for 8 keys, I happened to be searching for #40s and he posted this within seconds of my search, so I got lucky.

Seller accepted 8 keys + 2 ref, but I had already bought one

And here's my greedy hoarding scheme that's going on, got plenty of 7-8 keyers, none of them willing to go to 9. (Although I've not set a B/O so I probably wouldn't take 9k anyways)

I'll have to agree with this one, I have seen many people trying to buy for 7-8 keys

Agree with new price a lot of C/O 8 key + 2 ref or 9 key

Andro-So if your buying them for 8-9 keys, i dont see why the price needs to change to over 9 keys...Everyone that agrees in the comments has a vested interest in this (3-5 crates). How odd...

C/O of 9 keys

The ones that go for less than 9 keys are people who have found them as drops and are just looking to quickly cash them in for keys, while they still drop.

21 ref is 8 keys + 0.55 afaik, which you won't get unless someone was desperate to get rid of theirs. Now the majority of crates are in the hands of people who are waiting for them to rise, and they're asking for at least 10 keys. 9's fair

Andro- where you see people quickly selling them, i see crates being SOLD. Where you see people wanting 10 keys, I see crates NOT being sold. I believe this site is about how much things sell for, not what overly optimistic price gaugers want.

I sold 2 for 9 a week ago and instantly felt like I had made a mistake. The price is rising for sure. With the 48's stopping tonight it should be 10-11 keys easy im thinking

Upvoting. I have been selling #40s at 10 for over a month. I'm shocked it's taken this long for the market to catch up.

I think the price is going up but I can't figure out why. All but one of the items from the crate can be bought for less than the cost of the crate, you'd think it would keep with that rule but people seem willing to spend more.

Here ya go then, 9 keys + 1.33 each, i.e. 9.5 keys.

Gonna repost this one

I paid 9 keys for them, or 9.5 if you assume buds are 27 keys.

@Kabob

The Sapper and the Huntsman cost more than the crate because they're sought after, idk about the Sapper anymore though.

The Holiday Punch isn't, because it's a novelty weapon, and it sucks ass, and getting a Hales Own Holiday Punch would take ages to get. The Frontier Justice is a better shotgun than the Widowmaker, so the Widow's price is only 3-5 keys because it's from a Salvaged crate, and it'd be better if the FJ was in the 40, to synergize with the 30's Gunslinger.

The Mantreads are like the Holiday Punch, they're just good for trolling, so you might as well just have the normal pair.
