Also 77% of fast learners are uncrafts. http://stats.tf/item/722/The_Fast_Learner

So most them are preferring uncrafts on OP since they are really cheap and highly liquid. Personally i feel the gap between craft and uncraft should narrow down a bit more.

it's easy to sell for 5 keys on outpost

PROOF........i was trying to sell mine for 4 keys....didnt even get a single offer

don't just say its easy to sell it for 5 keys try selling it for 5 keys first

And why would anyone buy it for 5 keys when tf2wh is selling for 3 keys (37570 credits) lol

You are just bias cause u have one and dont want the prices to go down

someone offered my friend a dirty GOLD fast learner for 1key + rec .. its like no one wants them these days

i think its cuz with everyhting comming out now scout has some many diffrent suits (no longer only school boy or track man)

Downvote

the thing is that ppl are buying it cheap in order to re-sell it later for much more. just look around on the outpost how many people (including myself) are looking for 'quicksells' of items such as fast learner, kringle collection, all-father, last breath and so on. I think it's the main reason for the prices to behave so weird past last weeks. A clean fast learner is still a quite rare and decent item so I don't think its price should be close to a dirty one.

Besides, tf2wh is a retarded point of reference. They usually offer you less for your items and then you have to buy it for more.

D SwissK - u didnt specify any reason for downvote. Maybe u dont have any reason.

Shooter in your pooper - Thats exactly the point i'm trying to make.. There are many who are selling for dirt cheap but none who are buying for 4 keys. Just look at your trade for example http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/5423742

You have got kringles, all father, TC's etc....... but you got offers mostly on fast learner cause everyone wants to sell it for cheap. And now you are not even buying them anymore ( changed your mind eh? ).

And now this post of yours where you are trying to sell your painted fast learner for 8 keys http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/5466703 where theres not even a single offer yet. And C/O is based on the offer made by your friend?

Also i'm aware of how tf2wh works. You can buy one there now for 37570 credits which is around 3 keys 1 rec. Therefore i made a price suggestion of 3.5 and not 3.

Why is tf2wh still overstocked with this item even when there is almost 1 key difference between their prices and recommended price? is it not tempting enough for people to buy it?

The problem with tf2wh, and the reason so many don't use it at all, is that it is constantly overstocked on currency. Even if you have the keys/metal to buy the items you want from them, they won't take your keys/metal to pay for it. Plenty of items on there are priced below the current market price, but are impossible (or at least highly impractical and inconvenient) to buy.

Having said that, I have no opinion on this price change and didn't vote

The price is reasonable, but almost nobody understands the origin or why it's so expensive. aesthetically, most people would pick a track terror over the item and it's ridiculous making any attempt to sell a clean one at its actual value.

I'm upvoting this. I had one on outpost for 4 keys for about a month, finally I was lucky enough to sell it.

Yup even i had it for a long time.......not a single person offered for it....finally had to wait for a week before i could sell it on tf2wh cause it was overstocked by 110%

Now i regret buying it for 4 keys and selling it for cheap :(

But thank God i finally got rid of it :)

Guys if you feel my price suggestion is not reasonable then please provide links to successful trades on OP or other trade sites where it got sold for 4+ keys.

I agree I tried to sell my fast learners ( 2 ) for 4 keys each or both for a bills or 8 keys. I repeated my message on multiple servers and still yet no trades or even offers. Seems like nobody is interested in 4 keys and would probably take anything below 3.5

I think the track terrorizer being a cheaper alternative would lower demand on the fast learner.

Massive supply on outpost, a ton asking for 4 keys. I had skimmed and spotted a couple of 3.5 to 3 keys + 2 ref requests, foolishly didn't keep the links though. If you look on the wishlist side, people offering 3-3.5 keys tend to get interested fast learner sellers regularly.
