Too early for this

Keys are still bought and sold at 2.77. DOWNVOTE.

Tell me where, I need those.

seriously... lol

Downvote.

You can still buy keys for 2.88, its really not that hard.

And a sale of 2 keys (technically 6) doesnt mean much.

Edit: Gonna make a prediction here, His next suggestion will be to raise the price of crate 40's.

It will later raise as 50# crate comes out

Keyword being later, The crate 50 hasn't come out, and won't come out for a couple of weeks. (at least till this xmas event is over)

Actually...new Christmas crates are out that would have already raised the price of keys. Also, the new market is raising the price of keys. With those combined, I foresee 4 ref prices by new years.

One sale? Call the admins! Let's change the entire market price based on a single sale of an item commonly used for currency!

I call BS on people stating that they can still find keys for sale at 2.88. You can barely find 3 ref. offers that are stocked now. Last few days have been fine selling for 3 and buying for 2.88 but since that market introduction on steam there's been 0, 2.88 offers on outpost besides those constant bumped 0 key stored posts. I've had people add me from a key post 22 hours ago, that's how desperate people are trying to find 3 ref. offers now.

The problem is, you're sticking primarly to outpost, which always has people trying to sell high. http://tf2finance.com/keys/ has a current average of 2.97, which although it is close to 3, is not 3.

O ya, theres definitley a shortage of 3 ref sellers, its not like i just did a search and found about 50~ keys for sale on the first page alone for 3 ref.

BS as I've been checking for the past 10 minutes and there hasn't been anybody who is fully stocked with 3 ref. offers and actually active.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6671194

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6989442

Took me 10 seconds.

1st link isn't the best, but the second one definitely is.

And immediately I added and they were sold. They even stated they received 5-10 friend requests for some of these people.

I've been on constant refresh duty for the past 20 minutes now.

How about getting off Crap-post and hopping into a server where you can buy keys at 2.77 and 2.88 very easily?

Cuz outpost is the standard trade center which even this site follows quite strictly.

It's really not the standard trade center (whatever the fuck that is?). Again, get your ass off a website and go on trade servers, you will be able to buy cheaper there. I don't care what you think is a viable trading environment, I care about the price, and 3 Ref flat is just plain wrong.

You can probbably blame it on this key hoarder http://www.tf2outpost.com/backpack/50604

On nearly every post he says "will buy all"

he also seems to have a bunch of repeat weapons, probbably has idle accounts collecting metal.

outpost doesn't require time to find people. you just open a trade and be done with it. In a server you need to do a lot of work for a few keys

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6989010 it can take a bit longer than 38 minutes.

SHOW SOME PATIENCE! Seriously! You don't need to buy them right this instant, so stop telling me "I can't buy at three" WHEN:

I'm finding people buying at 2.88 with new keys in their inventory. You only have your own expierience and no other evidence.

You are lying about this. I checked the history of BOTH keys and yet, they did not have a new owner. downvoted..

He has more keys in his backpack. He probably just picked any random 2 when putting up the trade, and then sold 2 different ones.

meep.. lol.. ok

This is way too much.

I SOLD A STRANGE CRATE FOR A 69 COMMUNITY SPARKLE BACKPACK EXPANDER WITH ORBITING KEYS SO THAT'S WHAT IT'S WORTH

No No No, this can not be happening, what are these people after, downvotes? There needs to be 1 - 2 scrap range because people are buying and reselling. This has got to stop!

Leave keys as it is seriously we dont need a new key price every 5 seconds

I tried selling keys at 3.11 and i sold 10 in less than 5 minutes. Before that i had sold over 100 in 6 fucking hours before the 2.88-3 ref suggestion was made

Keys are rising and people don't want refind cause it takes place, some even want overpay in refind lol

every day

you guys want the price change in keys

downvoted

lol umm the price is changing VERY fast. This site shows the going rate of items on the open market hence changing the price to reflect what keys are selling for.

So regardless of what we want it's what is happening. Take off the blinders and have a look around. A downvote because prices are changing fast is just silly but to each his own I guess.

I don't disagree, however the range is more appropriate, some people are clinging to sub-3 prices, and sometimes they're successful. Though I'd put that down to sellers not being on the bleeding edge of key values, and perhaps not realising they can comfortably sell @ 3.

I've trawled through outpost twice today and can't find keys cheaper than 3 ref. The majority of those are out of stock. The new Steam Community Market is going to take keys out of circulation instead of introduce keys to the market (no one will buy keys at mann co price if market is half this.) The price needs to be accurate at any given time, and currently 2.88-3 is out of date.

Not really. The number of keys has risen to nearly 400,000 in quantity, and I had predicted that they would hit the 400,000 mark before Christmas. There will be a massive slowdown in price when the update comes next week, and the quantity of keys may well surge up to 425,000.

really - where do you get this info from? Im interested myself.

>Community

>Meet the stats

>Tools

>Keys are the most common tool

because keys are changing fast. But i think itll be best to sync it with tf2fiance.

I agree with this. At least if .tf sync it with Finance there won't be anymore key suggestions. Kind of tired seeing them twice a day, and it always devolves into a slanging match anyway.

I dislike these. Because they get so much more attention because everyone whats to manipulate the price of keys to they're favor (which is always lower)

and not looking to see how this item goes for at the market.

And its like a rerun of the same episode on tv everyday all the time.

the comments are always the same -.-

This is an AWESOME idea! Why waste so much time on key pricing when tf2finance does it so much better!

Gets a warning from some hapless mod. Positive score of 3 points. Makes sense! My point still stands, I love this place sometimes.

Because you said "morons".

Oh, I know why. It's not like anyone can express anything on here. I do say fuckers a lot, and cunting, and bloody, and a myriad of others. But don't mention the "M" word, no no, that might upset someone.

Oh well, I guess Bucket has nothing better to do than censor the internet, one moron at a time!

On a related note, the new crates are dropping, everyone bunker down and prepare for Buds dropping, keys raising, highballs everywhere. Oh, and new lights on new weapons. Fun times.

I got warned for saying dumbass but well, just take it as them being too strict.

Strict? They've been very reasonable, I'm surprised he hasn't been slapped with the banhammer, his comments have added nothing to the discussion and he's openly belligerent.

idk. Looks like its getting there.

I see more and more buyers at 3 ref and 3 ref is an insta sell. but i think keeping 2.88 is fine for now.

Buying 2.88 or 2.88 + weapon

Just something quick. But looks like 2.88 is thinning out but still there. i think next week or so this i wlll have become true. 3 ref are being inta bought and sold.

Didnt look at sellers if they are successful at more but i think 2.88 is fine were it is. for the moment

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6918205

I'll just give mine.

Seems as if the vast majority of people are selling for 3 Ref or more, I still however was able to find a handful of people selling for 2.88 or there abouts.

Really, alright I was fine with the price being raised to 2.77, I was sort of ok with it being up-voted to 2.88, but now really? Now people are just being greedy -.- The current range is fine and doesn't need to be altered anymore. Plus this just isn't enough proof and people still sell keys at 2.66. Downvote :P

2.66 . That is all.

^ lol at this.

Why do poor kids try to buy keys for 2.66? Buy it for 2.88/3 and sell it higher JEEZ

Wow really? Keys at first were priced at 2.66, just because the price suggestion went up doesn't mean it's worth more. Remember these are just "suggestions" not actual prices -__-

But they are.

So you follow spreadsheet?

Spreadsheet doesn't list keys at 2.66?

No idea why you're bringing spreadsheet into this. People that sell for 2.66 are just casual traders or players

What is this "playing" you speak of? I've never heard of it. Is it fun?

Down vote

You're gonna need much more proof than that.

look at the comments, the community is helping him out by posting multiple accounts of 3 ref buyers.

Well idk, it's still possible to get them at 2.88. I'll stay neutral for now then.

this is not entirely accurate, at the moment keys do instasell for 3 ref but i've also gotten a number of adds for 3.11 ref and even one for 3.22 and these were all immediately after putting a trade up on outpost.

I can vouch for that, had a trade up for 4 keys for 3 ref each. After refreshing the page, 10 views. Then seconds later, 5 adds. The first person bought them all and so I had to deny the others, who all seemed very needy for keys at this price.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6804147

Trades at 2.88 are hard. :(

Wow, calm down with the prices man.

Here's an idea: Why don't we leave key prices as they are for a while so we can have a stable economy?

How about you check tf2finance for real key prices, and see that BPTF doesn't influence the stability of this economy at all?

THERE ARE SO MANY BUYERS FOR 3 REF! LOOK AT THESE LINKS!

I am going to Upvote!

Right? There's a lot out there buying for 3 ref now. I don't know why.

Those last 2. Seriously.

Dude this oxymoron guy in the secondlast trade... he buys at 3.11 and sells at 3.22 also he sold keys for 6 weps each some time ago. wtf is wrong with these ppl?

Just traded him, 9.33 for 3 keys. I think thats enough to upvote this suggestion.

I sold 26 keys at 3.22, and I find it very difficult to get them at even 3.00. I would have suggested the price be 3.11

Proof of trades ?

He's buying for 3.11 ref if you look above at my long list of buyers: [url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6992625[/url]

He only saw my post and added me. This guy bought 25 of them (The other person added me, said "Trade now" bought one and unfriended me"

http://steamcommunity.com/id/Ko4erga

I've traded most of the ref back for keys again though, buying at 3.11

They both just added me without commenting, so if you wish you can ask him yourself. I'll try and get him to comment saying he bought 25 from me

I got the guy who bought 25 of them to comment

Well, now I accuse the Steam Community Market for this BS.

Just sold 39 for 125.66 ref. I think this price is fair O.o

You're in my long link chain above. You could suggest 3-3.11 ref if you want, but it is going to be met with much controversy. Wait to see if this one gets accepted first before making yours.

Oh my apologies, I didn't mean to post in your chain

No you didn't post in my chain. I meant look at the long list of links that are right above this. You're listed as buying for 3.11 ref. It is a compliment.

Ok I get it. I'm relatively new to the voting/commenting process so I'm not the most competent.

I also bought from this trade, where multiple people post saying they added her:

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6972398

lol, that she is a he, and he is in my friends list. One of my best friends that I have yet to meet in person.

Haha I just assumed cuz of the name.

Prove that they don't sell at 2.88 ref. How does proving sales at 3 ref help here?

Or you could prove people buying at 3.11 ref, that's good too. Baloo's proof was really helpful.

No problem :)

Nope.

why not?

I sold another 19 at 3.22 (45 total, with 44 confirmed)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6992038

Negative.

Why did keys get nerf up to 2.88-3.00 or w/e

should stay at 2.66 :/ so gayyyyy.

old price...

keys should be even less then that cause of the populations of it

# of keys vs # of players

and you dont know the old price. which is even lower

I'm going to upvote this. Why? Because I want buyers/sellers keys all in one found themselves back at the bottom of the ladder. I want them to become hard to find people who are selling them keys for 2.77-2.88. !

downvote I expect prices to drop duo to the new steam market place. I mean they are always on sale there ^^. also no proof

Check my comment above with the ~~sh*t~~ ton of buyers and 3 ref and even some at 3.11 ref

I dunno why people do this XD I bought a key for 1.21 euro which is around a 40% discount for me =P. But still proof is proof XD, thx

Prices will actually RISE because the new steam market. People buying from market = less people buying from store = less supply = higher prices.

true but cant it also mean that the prices will drop since the price is lower like a sale? ( example tinge sale, maybe not totally related, but the principal)

do you know why people buy keys instantly at 3 ref? It's because the sellers don't sell for any cheaper. those who sell just want more ref so the keep urging to up the price. then, they use their profit in ref to buy the stuff namely priced in ref. we should standardize the price like it was 2.66 and only 2.66 before

You realize if backpack.tf did that there would be a huge backlash by the user and they would stop using this site to check current market values.

Even Stock Exchanges sometimes stop quotations when really bad price rises for something.

Eh, we're all dying one day. So fuck it all.

Yes, but then again in the real world you don't have as many impulsively buying 12 year olds that could potentially influence a large proportion of the market.

All i'm saying is stick to 2.66. Keys are a common currency that shouldn't be raised. And I don't get how buying keys for 2.66 is considered to be "poor" if you can find someone who sells it at that price you get a good deal.

It didn't use to be a good deal. Keys were 2.50-2.55 ref back in August and September. 2.66 ref were the highballers on outpost at the time. Now you feel awesome if you manage to buy one for that price.

Wasn't sure at first due to lack of proof, but after seeing Baloo's comment, I would definitely agree with this new price. I usually use 3 ref as my conversion in trades as well, selling and buying

These resellers really need to chill out. They are causing keys to skyrocket for an extra scrap each. It's getting ridiculous. I hardly have a need for metal anymore, but when I went to buy some keys to get rid of it the other day I still managed to find some people selling for less. I don't want to support them. Say whatever you want about it being a legit way to get metal. I agree, but it's gotten out of hand. Oh well, they have to crash eventually (Even if it's only a little). People can't keep paying more and more for keys.

I would agree with this, I put a trade up for selling keys at 3 ref, got a request in 15 seconds and sold 12 in less than a minute. Got 4 more requests in that time.

Sold 5 keys in under 2 minutes for 3 ref each, almost feels like i coulda charged more, upvote.

I put up a trade myself to sell keys at 3 ref each. I also got at least 5 adds within 1 minute. These things are really in demand right now. Upvote.

People who want the prices to drop: Face it, they never will. The trend is that the price of keys will continue to increase and that's simply because of the inflation of refined metal (due to idle accounts). This is an easy upvote. Tf2 Finance even proves that keys are going for 3.05 now. 3 ref is very reasonable.

DAMN YOU, HALLOWEEN 2012! DAAAAAAMN YOOOOOOOOUUUUU!!!!!

...did you read his reasoning 0,o

Yeah, but they only started shooting up around Halloween when the new unusual effects were released. I figure that was that catalyst to the change, but not necessarily the deciding factor behind the sustained rise. People didn't all of a sudden start idling in mid-late October, but the abundance of idlers could very well be why prices aren't going to go down after the Halloween hype passed.

And it was supposed to be humorous...can't win em all, I guess.

too much proof/counterproof. staying neutral.

As much as I hate rising key prices.... I'll have to change to an upvote.

I agree, I sold one key for 3 ref in a matter of minutes on outpost, this would seem right.

Every time I put my keys up at 3 ref, I get literally 3 buyers in 3 minutes. However, I get these keys by successfully buying them at 2.88.

Yea I noticed. I posted your buying and selling trades. When I saw I was unsure

Upvote. Since people have been buying keys for 3 ref lately :/

Its kinda obvious whats going to happen, keys soonwill be at at 3.11 then key resellers will resell for 3.22, then we will put keys at 3.22 based on that then key resellers will sell for 3.33 then we put keys at 3.33 based on that then key resellers start reselling for 3.44 then we put keys at 3.44 based on that :D

yup soon keys will be 5 ref I give it a month at the rate we are goin

I bet you it won't be 5 ref in a month.

Economy will crash if it reaches 5 ref. The rich gets richer, the poor gets poorer.

UPVOTE

no 1 want selling key for less 3 ref

prices of keys go up, because people want to sell them for money. end of the story. keys/refined will go up, keys/buds will go up (in other words buds/keys will go down) UNTIL at least beta is over, and maybe even sometime more.

I'm just going to walk away

I won't upvote this, but I don't want to risk downvoting it, because simply put there's only one direction that keys are going.

However, I maintain a reservation about upvoting this because I recently have been able to buy 2 keys for 5.66 (2.77+wep/key) as well as 4 for 11.66. While the latter is only about a weapon under 3ref/key price, it is still definitively not 3 ref. It should be noted that I did this on trade servers, so I don't have any proof available.

Make no mistake, someday soon 3 ref will be the low price for keys, but that day is not today.

I was bored, so here's a tanka to accompany the democratic process;

Fiscal fear and alarm!

Keys continue to climb high

Voters complain much

Will keys ever again go low?

Some say yes, others say no

hahaha i see you are still fighting the good fight to rise the keys.. well dont bother pricing on currencies any more guys!valve took the lead on that i would love to explain my self but i wont..

everyone must thank valve for making the trade buisness a trade game in on move!

well good luck trying overprice every currency exists!! but still wont make it!!

You make absolutely no sense mate :

Keys are a sort of currency, but primarly a tool, consumable for uncrate, therefore it's a way for them to disappear.

That's not the case of the refined, which is a sort of currency and a tool for crafting, which i way less popular than uncrating. With all the idlers, refined prices dropped, leading the price of the keys, indexed on refined, to rise naturally.

Also, look at the real world : there is no currency that does not fluctuate, prices are touched real time out there, get your facts straight.

And then, Valve pretty much killed the trend of keys by introducing this Steam Market :

Keys are 1.80$ on this market, 0.53$ more than the price on Source OP or even TF2OP. And keys are 2.50$ or so on the Mann Co Store.

Make the calculation :

Inexperienced traders see keys cheaper than the store, not knowing SOP exists.

It causes a hoard on keys available on the steam market, thus depleting the stocks of sellers out there.

These sellers have to restock fast on the regular market, because a 0.53$ profit is equivalent to a 1.22 profit.

It is more profiting for them to sell on the Steam market.

crafting do extinct ref too mate!my point is you dont have to price keys anymore!valve did it and everyone else must follow valve market prices or extinct of market

"crafting, which i way less popular than uncrating" read please.

And NO, Valve does not fix market prices at all, even on the steam market : it's the seller that chooses the steam market price. That's why it's a bad thing.

hohoho mate the sellers only have the right to fix the prices!i think you are hidding from something the only ppl that valve have do wrong is those that sell buds keys and staff for real money!!lets not forget that trading is a game and its obviously valve states it needs to stay such!!upvoted for the fun of it

Well, I don't understand anything about what you said here, please use google to correct your syntax.

And I won't answer, as you seem to be really stubborn.

+ no need for uncrate to buy unussuals anymore the prices are very cheap indeed i will be amazed if you will be able to find one to buy from now on!!

"the prices are very cheap"

That's true : No one wants the new Halloween unusual, but please refrain from making that a general statement about unusual prices.

Also, the increase of the bud price partially caused unusual to be reindexed lower.

well its a matter of time for the community to finally accept the ref is money i am shouting for such a long time!! if you have refs you buy tools you sell those to market and there you go you get yourself some really cheap keys!!

so paying ref to buy keys? well thats something a very small brain would do!

well i am buying keys for 1.35$ atm so why should i give 3 ref for it explain me why plz?

That's more expensive than 3 Ref ($0.42 x 3).

Yet again, Ska derps out big time.

yes but i buy premium for 3.75e

sell them for 3 keys

sell those for 1.40 euro*3 4.20 euro

buy a pemium for 3.75

We are talking about keys, not Upgrade to premium...

i am talking for prices and rates so you see the profits!!you know !you are not alone!

you see the profit here?

wow 3 refs.this community is gettin fuckin rich it seems

Just look at this

every time you increase the price this happen http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6985834

you say bp is for telling the price but bp also responsible of changing the prices

No, no, and no.

It has already been dicussed last month so many times, BPTF does not influence the key price at all.

hohohoho yeah right

Get your facts real mate, and study, some more intelligent people than both of us already searched about that [url]http://tf2finance.com/2012_11/[/url]

it doesnt influence key prices? I hope that was sarcasm.

Get your facts real mate, and study, some more intelligent people than both of us already searched about that [url]http://tf2finance.com/2012_11/[/url]

"research it" all you want, research doesnt show the bunch of kids on the market who use this place as a bible.

This is not a bible, BPTF uses facts, not a bunch of stories you tell a child in his bed. And we are not talking about item prices here, we are talking about key prices, one of the most traded items on this market. Just read the article, I won't tl;dr it for you.

Oh boy, here we go again.

The listed key price up here does somewhat influence key reseller prices (the only proof we need apparently), when bp.tf posted 2.88 ref, resellers put up 3 ref, when it put up 3 ref, now resellers are putting up prices at 3.22 and beyond.

And the resellers are buying them to wait for key prices to go up again.

Now, I'm not saying we try out a social experiment for the sake of science, but I'm suggesting we try a social experiment for the sake of science. Post a 2.66 price and see how much it affects the ecomaly, you won't see me buying keys.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6985834

just what i was saying

also bp only look at outpost and dont look inside game

Yeah, it's just going to keep snowballing into a bigger mess than we are in now unless we stop using the continuously laddering price of key resellers as proof for raising the price.

Upvoted. I hope key prices get so massively inflated that people who helped the price rise will suffer like shit when the prices fall.

Call me stupid, but I just bought 4 keys for 3.11 refined each. http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7002424

I did this because keys are skyrocketing lately. Keys rise in price annually anyway because of pro-idlers. Now they're going to go up even more, because of the steam marketplace.

people buying some for 3.11 ref

Honestly, I don't understand how there can be no range on a key. If there is no range, that means nobody resells keys. Also all the negative posts have a score of -1, I wonder why?

Key reselling is basically asking $5.50 for a $5 note, it's asinine and unfortunate that it can be achieved with any success.

Current range is fine. I've bought 6 keys at 2.88 just today.

I can voucher for this statement, I too posted 1 key for 3 ref and had 6 people add me in 3 minutes.
