I only linked my trade where I sold the remaining ones because I think it's proof enough. It's not like I am trying to raise these for my own personal gain. I sold my last ones today and I will never be buying or selling any new ones since I am cashing out.

More proof of seller easily selling for 2 keys each: [url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6893929[/url]

Going to need a lot more proof than that.

Oh shit I didn't even realize people weren't really commenting on my trade, they were just adding me like I asked them to. I will post a screenshot of my trades.

I'll have to downvote until you show more proof of trades in this price other than just your example.

Sorry didn't realize people weren't commenting on my trade since I asked them to just add me. I added a link to my first post with a screenshot of me selling my last couple for 2 keys each.

These technically never stopped selling for 2 keys. I was still getting people paying 2 keys even after days after the sale. I just changed to buying for 4 ref and selling for 4.33 ref to flip faster. That was a month or so ago.

I've been selling mine for weeks at 2 Keys. Backpack.tf has been wrong on these for at least a month from my experience selling. Here is my trade = http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6893929 . I've sold 36 so far in the last few weeks and get adds every day. I'm not voting since I sell White paint but I did want to show my trade since people mentioned they needed more proof. So take this as you will. :)

Haha yeah I was just about to link your trade. Adding it to the first post.

Haha, Nice! :)

http://backpack.tf/classifieds/search/5039/6/0 I can find these at the classifieds

A lot of people actually forget about their open classifieds since hardly anyone uses them. Even if there are a couple people selling for just barely under 2 keys, that doesn't mean that most people aren't selling for more. I feel like I am beating a dead horse here. People don't realize prices are based on what they can be sold for easily, which recently has been 2 keys. It isn't based on a couple people who might be selling for less. It's like when people try to base prices off of quicksales.

Hmm still available after 1 day. Maybe 1.7 keys - 2 keys then.

I think it should actually be lowered if anything. I haven't had success with white or black paints. It could be just me, but i always see people trying to sell for a long time with no success. People just buy the hat that they want already painted. Also, try putting links to successful and unsuccessful trades on outpost or Tp under proof (yes, i am aware that outpost is down).

You're right. It is just you haha. Sold 10+ for 2 keys within a week

Also the reason you might not be having success selling them for 2 keys each is because you don't actually have any white paints... fail

are...are you stupid?

outpost is down again

Ill agree. If bills are painted they are worth 10 keys with white paint at many people so 2 keys is a nice price for non-used

I've arrived with your proof: http://imgur.com/a/TADuq

22 paints sold for 2 keys each in the past 2 weeks. They are out of order a bit, but you should start to get a picture of how incredibly easy it is to sell them.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/search/66247934

There's only 12 pages of these on Outpost, which is relatively small number of listings. The lowest price is 2 keys, but there's a quite a few listings unsold at that price. I don't feel 2 keys flat is accurate. Perhaps a range of 1.8-2 keys would work better.

Why would anyone look for less than 2 keys flat when you can get 2 keys each so easily?

There's hundreds of listings still asking 2 keys and have not sold. Seems to me 2 keys isn't an automatic sale.

There are most certainly not hundreds of listings unsold at 2 keys. You're over-exaggerating. There's plenty of proof that these can be sold pretty easily for 2 keys when people buy the paint. IF there were hundreds of trades at 2 keys unsold (which there aren't), that is simply because people aren't ALWAYS in need of white paint. It's just that when people DO want to buy white paint, they have absolutely no problem paying 2 keys.

There's about 150 listings of white paints at 2 keys in this link: http://www.tf2outpost.com/search/66247934

Hundreds was an over-exaggeration but 2 keys is way too easy a price to find for it to be the flat value.

Your argument makes absolutely zero sense. Try to find more than 5 people selling for less than 2 keys unsold. Just because there are lots selling for 2 keys doesn't mean the price should be lower. That makes absolutely no sense. If anything, it means the opposite. It means the price has stabilized at 2 keys, which is the exact reason I didn't make a range.

A lot of those listings are days old or older. If you have to wait that long to sell it, then the asking price is probably not the most accurate.

This guy has been selling white for 2 keys for over 2 months: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/5665904

and that's not an uncommon listing. A lot of these paint sellers have hundreds of these paints just sitting around with only a few sales each week if that.

You're completely hopeless. Oblivious to hard evidence and reasoning haha

I've sitting in 10 cans of white paint since the fall sale, when I saw this suggestion I thought I should give it a try, so far I've sold 4 of those in less than 24h, it's not like paint goes out the shelves ultra fast, but I would say 2 keys seem to be a pretty stabilized price. ¿How can you know by that link if the seller only sells a few each week?, not everyone post on your trades when you have a fix price, (unless you say they must comment first and add later), he has been doing that for long, I would say that he knows his price fairly well, even with his hundreds of paints.

I won't say that my case alone proves it (and I'm gonna keep selling my remaining paint at 2 keys regardless if this gets accepted or not) but just my 2 cents regarding this change.

Posted more proof in the comments after realizing my trade didn't show much

Look at my link directly above your post.

[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/5784336[/url] - Has some in stock.

Also found some 6 ref sellers withh stock.

So I would say 5.33-6.33 ref or 1.7-2 keys.

So ONE seller in a sea of 2 key sellers who are very successful determines the price? Gotcha. Like I've said before, I don't benefit at all from this suggestion being accepted. I will never trade paints again since I am retired from trading

There are those on the listings too which are still unsold after 1 day with many clicks because of this suggestions (I guess). Also 6 ref is under 2 keys and there are some of them. And I'm sure there are many succesful buyers below 2 keys.

So if someone wants to buy a white paint he should just search ~1 minute and he will get some below your suggested price.

That trade you posted is over two months old. Just pointing that out.

Se he was constantly selling crates. And still have some in his bp.

I actually agree. I sold over paint cans for @2 keys each. Last week I got hands on 3 more cans and was able to sell them @2 key price pretty quickly. One dude actually wanted more paint but I only had one for him

Yeah the guy I sold my last paint to also wanted more, but I ran out

Downvoted. In many cases, white paints are unsoldable:

-First trade: 5 ref. Unsold. [url]http://tf2tp.com/trade.php?trade=8937302[/url]

-Second trade: 2 keys. Unsold too. [url]http://tf2tp.com/trade.php?trade=8932726[/url]

Wow can't possibly argue with that proof and that word: "unsoldable" :P

Also, who uses trading post anyway?

People are willing to buy white paint for 2 keys now with no questions asked, so I think the suggestion is spot on for the time being.

I came in here determined to find a lower range seller, but what happened Is I saw anything below 2 keys sold out and 2 key sellers doing quite fine.

If this needs a range I would accept NO LOWER than 6-6.66 or 1.8-2 keys. But to not be picky, 2 keys flat is ok.

If anyone is reading this and would like to suggest a range, feel free to do so.
