Don't really think you've got enough proof of buyers at 3.33 ref, i'd like to see some more :P
Upvote dude upvote.
this is insane .... the only reason why those outpost trades are like that is because you keep raising the god damm price !
Please tell what you are trying to accomplish !
If this gets through the prices on outpost will ONLY RISE OKAY ?
If this get through they'll raise it by a scrap or 2 and then some one will come along and suggest 3.44 +
http://tf2finance.com/keys/ = 3.32 atm
It's 3.36 now. This gets accepted.^^
I was gonna comment something, but then I saw your proof. Now I want to kick back and watch people rage about the inevitable.
Not sure about this actually. With tf2 finance at 3.29, it pretty much perfectly fits our current range, and isn't even in this one. Personally, I prefer to ignore all trades on key suggestions and just look at tf2finance.
But I never vote on keys.
It's 3.36 now.^^
wow you rection to it was the same as myne xD when it rose too 3.33 xD
why the key is not decrease to come to normal price 2,55 ref?
Alright whatever Baloo said then :P
Wrong usage of that word.
If you want to learn more about correct term usage, then you can read an article about it by base64 (maker of [url]http://tf2finance.com[/url]). Link is here: click me
That's because 2.55 ref isn't normal price. There was a time when keys were not sold above 2.33 ref. Times change.
If you'd like to read an article by one of the TF2 moderators about it then click this link: click here
Yet ANOTHER Key suggestion. Can't keys just stay the same price for at least 1 month!
Another vote i wont touch, because I'm sure it will get passed. I just bought for 3.22 and have been for a while.
I would agree with this, but I don't vote on key prices. Too unpredictable.
To add something to your proof, here's my trade buying for 3.33: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7779552
I'm gonna stay neutral on this one as well, since I was able to buy 8 keys at 3.11 ref just 2 days ago, but I may have just been lucky. I don't think 3.22 ref is out of the range just yet, but it is clear many are definitely succeeding at 3.33 ref. Sad times...
I'm gonna be sad my rep is gonna be bad because of this, but I want the website to reflect the right amount.
Conservative people on this website oi!
eh' was thinking of makin this myself rep is already shitty, so kudos too you your rep will be missed ;)
thistle be a battle forsure.
At this rate we'll get to 4 ref before summer is here :|
You assume that keys will rise forever. Ever heard of bubbles in the market? Keys of course won't pop, but they will most likely stabilize.
Unless valve trolls a sale on keys lol
I said that once in the comments of a key suggestion a while back...got flagged to death.
Wonder why.
That would be hilarious. I assume no, but have they ever done that before?
They havnt. No reason too. Keys always sale.
They even sell for more in the steam market...
why the hell not xD they've trolled worse (*cough*cough* EP.3, crate 50, craftable store stuff, random hat retirement, gaben brony vid, "after 9 years..." marketplace, Ep.3, the line of EP.4 t-shirts awhile back, confirming an EP.4 ...after ep.3, all the hl3 t-shirts, ep.3 "conceptart" of a stick figure looking at a blob...) eh' valve ':|
KEYS DISCONTINUED IN TWO WEEKS.
I don't think valve will ever have a key sales. After all,they earn big from keys!
They would never have a sale on keys because people are already comfortable paying 2.50 USD for them.
Why have a sale on something that moves fine already?
Actually, people are comfortable with paying more than that. If you take a look at the steam market, people are paying up to $2.59 for keys.
... What?
I read somewhere in the SPUF that some states/wherever have taxes on virtual goods, like keys in the Mann Co. Store, and it would actually be cheaper to buy it for $2.59 in the marketplace as the taxes don't apply to the marketplace. The more you know.
Another reason being that in europe, mann co. store sells keys are at 1.99€, which would be 2.65$ with current exchange rates.
Well I wasn't serious.
Just saying a scenario in which keys can be devalued quickly.
Theres no real reason to have a sale. Unless they really want to put their foot in key prices
Yeah, but I don't want it to stabilize at 3+ ref :|
I was able to find a few people selling for 2.88 before Christmas. Look where we are now.
It's a vicious cycle:
Price raised on pricelists -> people saying "oh it's rising again better raise my already high price to profit" -> everyone follows suit because prices really are rising -> price raised once again on pricelists ->start over
The vicious cycle of trade_plaza.
Just like the vicious cycle of the rise and fall of the B.M.O.C. from 7 keys to 1 bud or more to 15 keys? Yes vicious cycles where the prices will raise forever will not last.
In regards to where keys may stabilize:
It does not matter all that much due to a lot of people's willingness to buy for the price that is now set. Therefore there is no problem buying for higher since you know that it will be easy to sell for what you paid for.
your proofs its going @ 3.33 , we know it's 3.33 so what ?
Want proof of successfully sold @ 3.44 + , Or it can't found @ 3.22 anymore .
Or it sold @ 3.11 http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7541664
Or http://tf2finance.com/keys/ “3.32”
I was hoping the mass spam of people obvious buying keys at 3.33 would override reason to find counter arguments for non 3.22 sales but if you want it I'ma find it. Just give me time
the last accepted suggestion rose the upper bound to 3.44
this suggestion is raising the lower bound
Seconded
Assigned to cleverpun? Does that mean they're the only one who can decide whether this is rejected or accepted? Seems a bit unfair to the other admins.
Edit: It's gone now.
It's something Brad recently implemented in order to help admins sort through all the suggestions that flood the voting section. It helps with the efficiency and speed in acceptance of suggestions.
...at least in theory.
from what I've seen, that usually pops up when the person may deserve a ban (no proof, another bad key suggestion). That mod makes the decision of whether or not to ban.cleverpun explained below
Mods assign themselves suggestions before working on them so we don't all work on the same ones. Doesn't really have anything to do with bans.
I assigned myself this one because I was going to close it for being another troll suggestion, but I'll wait and see how the voting/counter-proof goes instead.
Thanks for clearing that up. It would be easier to understand if it said: Being reviewed by "name(s) of moderator(s) who have assigned it to themself(ves)" Then again, voters shouldn't be able to see which suggestions will be closed soon and by who.
...so basically what I said, right?
Basically
Okay, just double checking.
Slightly insecure there, Baloo? :P
Nope. :)
I have no reason to be. Just double checking that I was giving accurate information because there are a lot of suggestions and comments that are based on misinformation, so I wanted to make sure I was telling the truth and legitimately being helpful.
both of the links are buying for 3.33 where is the proof of 3.44?
The proof of 3.44 has been proven from the previous accepted suggestion I'm just raising the minimum value
May i ask why you didn't include any trades of the current minimum for the sake of proving them false then?
I was hoping spam of 3.33 would over ride that, but I'm working on that right now
Maybe it does in the mind of the mod that will make the decision. I'm only asking since i buy at 3.22 without problems. I never buy off retraders though, only from the ones that actually put new keys into the economy, and quite often i get greeted with "OMG you actually pay that much?!?". And every time there's a new price bump i feel it a couple of days later when I have to raise my price to get a steady supply
still need to show proof of the 3.44 range though
3.44 sales and more a comin'

How is that proof that keys are worth 3.44? That's just a bunch of key resellers from outpost selling for above backpack.tf. They look at backpack.tf and add 1 or 2 scrap.
These are 3.44 sellers who have successfully sold some
fair enough
Since this is raising the minimum value, shouldn't the focus of this suggestion be to prove that it is impossible to buy at 3.22? Not on the fact that people trade at 3.33 or 3.44. We already know that and it's in the current spread.
I am already working on it. The links are currently a response to the first post
put the damn keys in 4 REF or 5, all based in outpost....neverending story
too low
1 key should really be 2 keys, everthing else is way to low
2 negatives votes for my ironic mode :)
keys dont need to go up they already went up
- A genius
Don't post this now, we're to busy arguing about beginner hats!!!
Even though I can't find a single trade for 3.22, there must be someone selling that low..why, because we got so many 3.33 sellers.
Where are they getting their keys from, answer that?
Please show trades of these sellers of 3.33
scrap.tf although it only gets a few keys every hour
Here's a thought:
Of course you won't observe many selling trades at 3.22 on OP, because they get bought (and closed) in a mater of minutes or even seconds by those selling for 3.33 and above.
But if tf2finance calculates an average of 3.32, and there are clearly many selling on OP for 3.33 and above, doesn't that imply that there has to be trades below 3.33 to get to that (weighted) average? Maybe not so many on OP, but they sure have to be there. So your suggestion in effect says that the real time tracking of tf2finance is doing something completely wrong. I just can't believe that is the case.
And flooding this suggestion with 3.33 buying trades is no proof. I could surely show many 3.22 (and below) buying trades. If they are successful, THAT is the question here, besides proofing that there are no 3.22 selling trades (which of course is practically impossible to do). So no need for a price change in my book.
On a separate note, why don't we just stop suggesting prices for Keys and rely on the real time tracking of tf2finance. They have an interface to many sites (not just OP) and are able to observe so many more trades than any single human could, even the ones that get closed quickly...
One other thing is that many of the trades done for less, is traded by the very same people that wish to see an increse in price (the key resellers), so ofcourse you wont see them posting the proof here ;)
I don't understand what you mean by "trades done for less". Please clarify for me.
what's not to understand? the trades you can't seem to find.. at less than 3.33... although it would not make sense for a re-seller to raise the lower bound.
as much as i hate to be the asshole who has to tell you somebody has to do it so: you know thats not gonna happen right?
i know that, but if we say it enough, it will happen. or why do people pray...? ;-)
Please do show
not my job to provide any proof here
"I could surely show 3.22 buying trades (and below)" I have already provided my proof now where is yours?
Proof seems legit. I made a trade myself selling at 3.44 and got an add after 20 mins http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7829710
http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7830213 < 3.33 seller
I will post a link everytime I see one
quite funny how the 3.33 get sold out fast ;)
http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7830304 < another 3.33 seller
he literary just sold it
I don't know what you are trying to prove here?
you said show me some 3.33 sellers
* edit found where I said that.
Right I think more trades would be nice please continue, also the links you have put up have almost sold instantly, somewhat supporting the 3.33-3.44 range
People STOP RAISING THE PRICES. The reason they get raised is primarily because people try to sell above average on outpost. When this price increases to match outpost, the people on outpost raise to make profit. WITH EITHER ONE RAISING THEY NEVER STOP. If you look at statistics, they started raising drastically around October 2012, just after backpack was created. STOP CHANGING PRICES SO THAT PRICES CAN STOP CHANGING!!!!!!
Sorry man I hate it too but this bp.tf is not a trading dictatorship that changes the prices of keys. Keys have already been raising and it doesn't matter what price bp.tf or spreadsheet puts because NOT all the community are spreadsheet or bp.tf traders. Keys inflate for other reasons than traders selling more than the spreadsheet. Also if this site doesn't reflect the market, then there is less legitimacy for bp.tf. Please stop being so conservative.
"around October 2012, just after backpack was created" wasn´t it created way earlier?
It was created at the end of september, or at least thats when the domain name was registered
You know what, I think I'll just upvote here, because you tried so hard. Losing one rep shouldn't be too bad.
you know what? f**k looking at all the proof, regardless of it getting decent votes or downvoted to hell-im gonna upvote for free rep.
most key suggestions (EXCLUDING the obviously stupid suggestions like:http://backpack.tf/vote/id/50f07f16ba25360614000002 or one where a sad fellow suggested 2.33-2.66 around a week or two ago) get accepted.
This is some f***** up shiz man.
NO KEY INCREASE NAOEW I NEED MOR PRICEZ ON KEY THEY NEE HIGHER!!!
any ways yea, these key prices are f*cked up ...
When will this price hike freaking stop?
when people relize the hype was all created be resellers reselling to future resells buying from futere buyers whowill reseller to future sellers (o_o)
Sold a few keys at 3.44, they sold so fast there are shadows of them still in my backpack.
I bet in some months keys will be at 10 ref..
PSSSSHHHH some months my arse 1 MAYBE 2 months
I bet you it won't. How much do you bet?
i buy keys for 3.33, add me for a fast trade(this is proof of me buying keys for 3.33, but seriosly, add me)
Just bought one for 3.22; outpost trade only, 8 hours, full bump schedule, 19 views. Trader was willing to sell me two but I was lacking in metal.
I know it's only one trade, but I find that outpost-only in 8 hours is pretty damn fast. You want screenshots I'll give you screenshots.
8 hours for 1 key? you know that you can buy anything in 8 hours below the market place
Depends on the item and player traffic at the time (this particular 8 hour chunk was when all the Americans were doing weekend stuff/sleeping).
In my experience anything below 10 hours is fast for the tf2 economy, but that prolly doesn't apply to a highly-traded item like keys.
Nope, key prices are high as it is.
As much proofs you get are carefully chosen by you, so each are 3.33 but i ensure you that those in server could sell at 3 ref... And we can always find proofs with lesser metal than you.
Why is it that we decide that http://tf2finance.com/keys/ is legitimate enough proof to RAISE a price but not a legitimate enough proof to keep it where it is, even though the average is right at 3.33? It's a compilation of ALL the trades that occur, I really think that these other links are sort of unecessary.
All I saw was a suggestion for keys, and the first thing that popped into my head was "Welp, I sure feel sorry for that person."
if buying/ selling items, ppl still count keys at 3-3.11 ref, lots of ppl rather pay 1 key+ 1 ref instead of 4.33, so please, whoever upvoted keys beyond 3.11 ref in the first place, go and upvote all items which are worth more then a key but priced in metal. or do you suggest all items should be worth less now, because keys are worth more? you need to consider all these things when changing the price of keys, please, not the amount ppl ask for on outpost only DOWNVOTED :p
Your proof is a hundred pages of open trades with rarely any comments. By this logic I could post proof of people buying keys at 2.66 and say that's what the price is. I love backpack.tf logic.
My logic is that there is many many people willing to pay more than 3.22. So many in fact that, in my personal opinion, I had to do this suggestion
Indeed, but without proof of people selling them at that price, what do you have?
The point is people are willing to pay 3.33. If they are not sold whatever, in my opinions, the mere fact that so many people are asking 3.33 for a key is enough to override the 3.22 minimum value. Also, in my opinions, I would only need proof of sales when I am raising the maximum value.
I am willing to pay 2.50/key. No one will sell it to me, BUT that's what I am asking. What now?
-_-. There's hundreds of traders asking for 3.33, so if anyone would want to sell a key and were actually willing to search a page or two they could find a 3.33 buyer. Because they is more 3.33 buyers, 3.22 buyers will have no or less success in buying keys.
I'm still failing to see any success in your links of the 3.33 buyers. LITERALLY you made me look at hundreds of garbage links of people "buying" keys for 3.33 WITH NO COMMENTS and NO KEYS in their backpack.
I want you to explain to me please, how unsuccessful buyers of 3.33 makes my proof invalid.
Bro... the floor is NOT the price people are asking. The floor is the lowest price keys are being sold. The ceiling is the highest price keys are being sold. Otherwise you might as well suggest 1,33ref - 6ref because people are willing to buy that low and i can find people who think they can sell that high.
So what you are telling me is the because people will not quicksale keys at 3.33 that everyone is still selling keys to 3.22 people
Another point, because people are not successful at buying for 3.33 doesn't that indicate that 3.33 is the new quicksale price?
your argument is that people are unwilling to sell keys at 3.33-3.44ref? So, that means the price needs to go higher if these buyers can't find sellers at this price?
No, my argument is that the massive amount of people asking for 3.33 should override that 3.22 is the minimum value.
If you would scroll up and look at my proof I put there yesterday of non successful 3.22 buyers. *In response to Hugh jazz
I'm not sure you know how people being unsuccessful in buying at a price higher than current means that it is the minimum price. It only applies if raising the price. Your logic is flawed. If lowering the price, you prove that the seller is unsold below the current price.
Every single key suggestion that bumps it up a scrap or two gets accepted, when are people gonna realize these votes are the reason that the trade prices are going up?
People are asking for more cause they know it's gonna go up and they'll get more.
People are buying for more cause they know someone's gonna vote them up again in a couple of days so they're buying them before they're gonna cost more.
No, key suggestions do not absolutely raise the price of keys, THE COMMUNITY DOES. It's things like events the also contribute to the raising of keys and the current raising started in October with new hat effects, then the steam market beta also created a huge demand for keys.
I heard this and the counter-arguement....in the last billon key suggestions.
It's because the counter argument has validity in it ;)
If the pricelist price was stable, outpost asking prices would be stable, some would be above it and they'd maybe get it, but most would ask the recommended price.
I didn't say they absolutely do but it is a or the major factor. My argument is perfectly valid thanks.
You just said again that backpack.tf controls the prices of keys, and I'll refute with that the community is collectively raising prices because of demand. This demand comes from the steam market beta because people can not sell metal so they have to resort to the second type of currency, keys. Therefore keys are raising in price because of more demand than before.
OP, are you just ignoring tf2finance for this one?
http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7664425 - Midpoint of current price.
I'm not sure how we can have a low end that is the same as an average. If you can't explain the discrepancy, I don't think this suggestion will pass. Outpost links aren't really anywhere near as valuable.
OP is indeed ignoring tf2finance. He's done a spectacular job of avoiding it.
Go ahead OP, explain how, if the average price of keys is 3.33, that 3.33 is the low end of the range. Your suggestion would imply an average of something between 3.37 and 3.40.
You can't, and you know you can't, so you're going to keep on avoiding the question. A significant amount of trades have to be happening at 3.22, an amount of trades, at this point in time, equal to the amount of trades at 3.44 Ref. I don't care how many 3.33 Ref trades there are. 3.33 Ref trades cannot change the average, if said average is at 3.33.
Easy Downvote. OP provides no proof that 3.22 is not happening, and completely avoids addressing how the average is 3.33 if a negligible amount of trades happen at 3.22 (like the new price would imply).
I'm waiting then. I'll close this suggestion tomorrow if tf2fiance does not show a rise in price, also I have provided proof of non 3.22 sales if you scroll up
Trust me. Admins aren't going to run with this for 2 days. I never even look at OP links on key suggestions; there's a much more accurate tool available which completely disproves this suggestion. And we can't say, 'Let's raise the price, leave the suggestion up for ages and then the price might fit.' We go off what the price is now. Right now, the price is not 3.33 - 3.44.
Well if they close it oh well I have did the best I can to defend my opinion and if in the end I fail, be it so.
Opinion is the key word ;)
all suggestions are in a sense all opinions but the accepted suggestions have proof behind it so does mine
Don't close. People are just being idiots running to tf2finance as their only defense. That is a site based on averages. What would you average the new key sales with? The old ones of course. tf2finance takes a while to catch up to key prices as they are currently.
Thank you Baloo
Are you sure about that?
I'm not particularly sure about the following statements, and if I'm wrong, this suggestion has more than enough proof to pass.
Isn't tf2 finance an ongoing average? Looking at the graph, it seems like it takes all the trades in between one page update and another (usually less than an hour) and averages them. I wouldn't think that it would include old trades.
I guess we'll have to ask base64.
Eh, I was assuming, but we'll see.
I guess it would depend. The one graph stops at midday Jan 11th, and the other stops at the current time. They've both been sticking close to 3.33 since the 9th though.
If the average wasn't sticking to 3.33 since the 9th you might have a point there. And by the looks of it, finance has updated to at least the middle of the day, Jan 11th. I don't know if you can tell time, but that was about eight or so hours before this suggestion was made.
Also, you seem to not know how averages work or something. 3.33 Ref trades can't change a 3.33 Ref average. So at this point, they're irrelevant in calculating it. This leaves 3.44 and 3.22 trades left to influence the average, barring extremes at 3.55 and 3.11. Go ahead and try to get a 3.33 average using 3.44 and 3.22.
When you manage to get 3.33 with a much higher volume of 3.44 trades than 3.22, I'll upvote this.
Also, I like how the first thing you did to argue your point was call people idiots. Stay classy.
Thank you for the input I shall working on it now
Find me these people selling for 3.22 ref please. That's all I really want.
Well, I just bought five keys from scrap.tf, and they buy their keys for 3.22.
Scrap.tf sells keys at 3.33. and funny how there are already out of stock
They sell them at 3.33, yes. But they buy them at 3.22. So every key they get was sold to them for 3.22.
People sell to scrap.tf for various reason such as to help the site but I don't think scrap.tf really plays a big factor in the market
I was just giving an example of keys being traded for 3.22. Not sure why those people don't make trades on outpost instead, but...
People don't make trades selling 3.22 because there is buyers for 3.33 and if they do place 3.22 up they sell instantly.
I meant those specific people. They're selling keys for 3.22.
Btw, the tf2finance average just dropped to 3.31False admins can leave up for multiple days if they see fit. Buds and keys suggestions usually stay open for 2-3 days.
They could, but it's my guess that the admins we have on here won't say, 'Look, this suggestion isn't right now, but if we wait a while, it might become right.'
I don't have time right now to duke this out with you. We can discuss it later in chat when you're online. That way we don't spam this suggestion.
Won't be online on steam til 8/2 :3
Nice, fióz
You have some awesome proof there, but this will be downvoted to hell :D
I made a suggestion for 3.22-3.44, closed.
http://backpack.tf/vote/id/50e7094dba2536ac6d000000
4 days later, another suggestion was accepted by the same moderator. Price = 3.22-3.44 Ref
http://backpack.tf/vote/id/50ecad1eba2536bc2f000001
The person who made the other suggestion used the same proof as me.
Srsly, people are getting mad when somebody makes a new suggestion for Keys.
Still kinda funny how the moderator just changed his mind in 4 days, lulz
4 days is a lot of time in the key business ;)
I still remember when a key was 2,33-2,44 refs.
Maybe soon we'll see that at 4 refs, who knows? I can't get why its price is rising up again and again.
My answer would be events. If you look at tf2 fiance, keys usually rise at events like holloween, steam market beta, etc.
And after those events their price always drop at the same of before. Still can't get why this Xmas it didn't happen.
events kept happening one after the other and it perpetuated to this point
Last time was different. Keys went to 2,66 to 3,33 without turning back and now they're firmly at that price. This doesn't make any difference to my wallet, but I find it just weird.
I just honestly think the whole Price Vote system should be removed and let the prices flow on their own. I am amazed that I found out how the infinite loop could be broken.
And how do we let that?
If you meant how we could do that, it is simple. First of all in all gaming financy the prices is in the seller and buyer's human heads. The prices simply flow automatically on their own in the game.
Attempting to understand what you're saying.. are you saying backpack.tf stops displaying the price of keys, one of, if not the, most important item in the game considering it affects the price of most items including buds..?
Leave the fucking keys alone
WE ARE BIG MEAN DEMONS WHO JUST WANT TO WATCH THE WORLD BURN! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
http://tf2finance.com/keys/ They are 3.34 here
That website is just as stable as a girl on her period (no offense to anyone)
I'm sorry but I think you own an apology to tf2finance for comparing them to girls.
I guess it is legit. Its not like your hiking the price to 3.66 ref your just closing the gab some more.
Its almost impossible to buy at 3.22 ref, i had to buy at 3.33 ref since ppl are asking 3.66-4 ref which is rediculous.
im asking 5 ref each, lets bump it up to 5. lol. .
-_-
Look, doesn't the fact so many people are demanding keys for 3.33 mean anything to you? You can't deny there are a lot of people demanding keys for 3.33, which can put 3.22 buyers out of buiness
I changed to an upvote. It just passed the 3.33 mark.
Even if this gets rejected today, in about 4 more days it will be approved :P
speculation is a horrible reason to upvote.
I meant "http://tf2finance.com/keys/" just passed the 3.33 mark so I'm upvoting now.
If this gets closed, make a new one in 4 days and it will pass
^ that's what I meant
But... but... the last suggestion passed when it was at 3.32 because that's close to 3.33... right now it's at 3.34....
If this gets passed, I'm going to shoot someone. With a crocket.
where does that site get its info?
All trades that occur. Outpost, trade servers, trading post, you name it, it's one of the sources.
If you want to get rid of the lower range value just show trades of 3.22 not being accepted.
I have already done that just scroll up
Nope. I don't care. key's can be 80 refined, the highest I will ever pay for a key is 3 refined.
Thank you for the input even though it did not contribute anything
What will you do when your BP has 300 ref in it, and your low on room?
Unless if you never plan on buying any item worth a key or more, you'll have give in eventually or stay poor,
Being apart of Backpack.tf and outpost I've seen for awhile now that there is a flaw People on Outpost purposely stay above backpack.tf by about a scrap. So it will rise on and on
If this website is taken down (many people want so due to misconceptions) keys will still rise always will raise no matter what any website says. Because there will always be events that will upset key values.
Plus if backpack were taken down people would just use spreadsheet prices. And they're not exactly.. quite as accurate nor as community driven.
key averaging at 3.33 indicates that there are sales on both ends. Will have to reject this one since it's been pretty (surprisingly) stable for the past little while in this range. That said, while you do bring up many people buying at 3.33, it's in the current range.
If the suggestion had been 3.33, it might have been more accurate that this suggestion or the current price.
Could I at least close it myself?
* I saw that 3.33 is the new quick sale range because of the massive amount of 3.33 buyers.
