price had been set at 1 key, and then was voted by an overwhelming majority (95% of 124 votes) to be slightly lowered to this just a few days ago (see history)

Your suggestion is included in the current range, downvoted

Price needs to be dropped if anything, I've seen most sell for closer to 1.66-2 ref lately.

I don't know about 1.66-2, but I definitely know even 2-2.33 is possible. As it is, the range is better.
