seriously? what a useless suggestion

cuz there are many peoples won't it 27 flat .

26.5-27 is just stupid..27 flat makes sense if they don't go for 26, this is just useless

as i said there are alot of XXX peoples don't wont flat amount. and /

There is few sellers accepting 26 + 2 ref which it 26.56 this why i submit 26.5 low end.

to me this is just a waste of time

20 pages on outpost selling buds. I'll need a lot more proof than that

I think I sold 5 today at 27 keys without any problems. Was going to give it another day or so and suggest 27 even myself.

I don't doubt they sell for 27, I'm just saying 1 post to prove the low end out of so many trades is not enough for me to upvote

I think I am going to have to give this a solid downvote....

great counter-argument

Sorry, guess I should have elaborated.

No suggestion has ever passed for Earbuds with a .5 range, it is simply to small of a change be negligible on an item so expensive, it needs a larger range ( a key, like it has always been). Tf2finance has had this at around 26.5 for a while, making the range 26-27 still fairly accurate in my opinion. Until I see a LOT proof of them NOT selling at 26 keys flat ( not just ~3 links ) I would not consider this suggestion worthy of an upvote.

it should just be 27 keys

Not yet.

JUST STAHP

9 people want their backpacks to rise

Oh really? Not because that's a useless comment?

Sold for 24 + ebeneezer. Upvote

Yes, I do agree that this is a much more accurate representation than your earlier suggestion ([url]http://backpack.tf/vote/id/50ef638aba2536be65000001[/url]). :P

That being said though, I'd like to see some more evidence, considering that we're touching the price of currency here.

QUESTION: Can we find successful sellers selling at 26.5-27 keys, and unsuccessful buyers at 26 keys?

[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8110331[/url] - 52 keys for 2 buds (~26 keys) NOTE: SkyLine1337's own trade -- however, I'm aware that it's only 1 hour old

[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7952478[/url] - 26 keys, been 6 days)

[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8023694[/url] - 26 keys, been 3 days)

[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8011322[/url] - 26 keys, been 3 days)

Unfortunately I could not find any buyers wanting to buy for 26.5 keys.

Conclusion? Sellers are successful selling for a range in between 26.5-27 keys, trending toward 27. The vast majority of buyers are unsuccessful buying for 26 keys. Though I was hoping for more proof from the original poster, it seems that this is a better indicator of current price than 26-27 keys.

EDIT: OH GOD THE FORMATTING WHY

Oh yeah, obligatory link to [url]http://tf2finance.com/[/url]:

At the time of this post,

1 Earbuds = 26.72 Keys

Jan 23, 2013 GMT

i was trying for 25.5 before 26 :(

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8077990

Also TF2WH price over than this

Earbuds selling 323,895 (29.44 keys) buying 310,935 ( 28.19 keys )

http://www.tf2wh.com/pricelist.php

if tf2wh had keys in stock it would be valid proof

TF2WH is horrible nowadays. It used to be okay, but they don't lower any of the lower range items to compensate for the higher range.

meh their economy ideals just stink like poop

Right now

1 Earbuds = 26.84 Keys

Jan 23, 2013 GMT

upvote, i bought 4 buds at 26.5 keys today and yesterday

also sold 5 for 27 keys

I can understand with all the evidence the floor is rising on the buds. One of my trades did get a hit yesterday with a seller accepting 26 keys. I do not know if that one alone is enough to counter the evidence though since the truth is that it is getting more difficult to buy at just 26 keys. up vote for me

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8035842

nah this trade 3 days old not as you claimed "yesterday" . :/

the trade is 3 days old, but it got a hit yesterday :P well a little more than a day ago

Bought 5 today for 26 + a craft hat faster than I could put the keys in the trade. downvote current range is fine.

Unless you wanna get picky to the point of doing buds = 26.33-27 keys I see no point in this vote.

tricky suggestion cause u can change the whole ecomomy

You should see key suggestions.

ive seen keys suggestions,their also tricky

- ecomomy = economy

- http://steamcommunity.com/groups/meetthestats/discussions/0/846940247671000891/

and im not downvoting but more like upvote

This should have been in his parent comment, and I agree. My suggestion had been closed before because of this.

"Sorry, guess I should have elaborated.

all the previous suggests of 27 flat didn't accepted and no sellers for 26 .

what do think ? can't pass on 27 flat , can't pass on 27-28

and there is no 26 atm

what the hell i should suggest ? 26.5-27.5 ?

27.5 didn't sold to submit this range .

Don't suggest at all...

and set price by your mind ? good idea and trade with yourself then

Huh? Is that what I meant?

i didn't meant that too , just a joke ^^

A whole key difference can be a big range right now due to the price of keys.

So I'm fine with a .5 range here

Everything is going up, and your price for this is on the money. I cannot find a single bud that goes for 26 keys successfully. I took a break from trading for a few weeks and keys went up too... things are increasing really fast. This cannot be good. Does the market actually "crash" in TF2?(Like in the great depression).

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/meetthestats/discussions/0/846940247671000891/

Never claimed to know much about trading.

C'mon I just bought 4 this week for 26 keys...

C'mon i bought 3 last year 9 keys each .You sell at 26 today ?

uuum no u didn't

1.For all you people saying this is a awkward price. We are talking about Buds here, a very tricky and important item to price as it effects the whole unusual community. We have to the most precise price we can, and in this case it is. The rush for Keys when the new crates where out is over, people stop selling for keys and start the rise in price. This is why every scrap can make a mark on items of high value.

2. You can't say you bought a bud last week for 26 keys, last week is a long time in trading, and buds can change in hours if something unexpected happens, with proof - It has to be at-least under a day old, otherwise it's not relevant.

Recently sold two buds for 54 keys. I agree with this suggestion.

Proof

today going easy for 27

I just got one @ 26 keys after frikin 6 hours in trading servers xD

I bought this week 4 buds in outpost for 26 keys, with my own post kinda easily, your doing something wrong.

Hmm... would it be possible for you to provide some screenshots of your inventory history as counter-evidence? It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that everyone who has disagreed with the suggestion on the basis of incorrect range has only offered anecdotal evidence which can't be verified. :P

Also, I'm going to play devil's advocate to myself here:

[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7933919[/url] - WTB for 26 keys, 1 accepted (3 days ago), 2 adds (2 days ago), and 1 add (~19 hours ago). However, he is an administrator on Outpost, and as a result, that might skew the sellers' reactions in favour of closing a deal with him.

No problem

were these quicksells or did the trader themselves post for 26 keys

Read my initial post, and no one quicksells earbuds thats silly.

Looks good! This lends credence towards the status quo of not changing the price, unlike the anecdotes people are throwing around. :)

bought one for 26 not 2 hours ago. Downvote.

Why wouldn't Earbuds want himself to be worth more?

Note: Just a joke.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8113229

Put this up before I went to bed, woke up with someone willing to sell their buds for 26 keys flat.

I've bought 5 in the past week at 26 keys, it takes a lot of F5'ing on the search results page but it can be done.

sidenote how can i tell if a bud is duped. and does it decrease its value. cause i think i got one.

Check your backpack here , click on your bud , click on view item history

http://backpack.tf/item/93912019

this is yours , its clean .

dupes buds not decrease the value also , about 70% of the whole buds are dupes lol

I just bought one at 26

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8127517

but i hope the bud price can rise lol

Just recently bought some buds for 26 keys: http://i.imgur.com/nKvBQxY.png?1

It's 26.67 now

Summery in the past 33 hours from the time of suggest started:

4 peoples claimed bought @ 26 (1 has proof , 3 without proof)

30% of the trades incuding me goes @ 26.5

other trades success @ 27

http://tf2finance.com/ range

26.72 33 hours ago

26.8 28 hours ago

26.84 21 hours ago

26.76 18 hours ago

26.71 12 hours ago

i slept 9 hours

26.67 now

the whole range's are in my suggest 26.5-27

Thanks . going to work . cya

they are all within 26-27 as well, and multiple people are proving that it's still possible to buy them at 26 keys

1 key range is too much . key isn't cheap now its 11 rec

you can use 11 rec to get 11 items ( melee stranges - dirty hats - vintage weapons ... etc )

there is plenty of proof for purchases at 26 keys, if the range on the market is 1 key, then that should be the range..it's very possible to buy them at 26 keys and as long as it is, that has to be included in the range..just because there are more sales between 26.5-27 doesn't mean that's the correct range when there are still trades happening for 26 flat..don't be so attached to ur own suggestion, u have been proven wrong by multiple people now

EDIT: Earbuds are 26.58 on tf2finance now, further reinforcing that 26-27 is in fact the correct range

"there is plenty of proof for purchases at 26 keys"

i would see those claimed poofs .

26.58 : after 36 hours of the suggest submitted time still not under 26.50

it doesn't have to be under 26.5 to make your suggestion wrong and if u fail to see the proof (which is right in here, but apparently ur to stubborn to see it), I shall copy it again:

Jan. 23rd

Jan. 21st

Jan. 20th

Jan. 23rd

Jan. 22nd/23rd (quickseller / sells buds for $)

Only 3 of those are within the time frame we are talking about.

FLR below also just bought one, upsilon says he bought 5 this week, Earbuds bought one as well, they just haven't posted any links..it's still possible

I don't think anybody is saying you can't find them at 26 keys. People will always sell items below their normal market value if they need to move them fast. It's just incredibly easy to move them at 27 keys currently. But it isn't enough so that a 27 key flat price would be right.

1- 1st link and one of the outpost links : a day ago and all others old date out of the suggest time

2 trades aren't "plenty" .

2- it does have and must to be under 26.5 to reject my price.

because the 0.5 key = 1$ , i'm not going to give free gifts 1$ everyday

Edit :

seems someone here sold him keys for cheap and willing to buy soon

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6321684

so 1$ is mean something :)

I'll stop responding because your reasoning is getting more and more ridiculous, 26.57 is closer to the range 26-27 (which is an average of 26.5), than to the range 26.5-27 (which is an average of 26.75), buying them for 26 is still possible, don't be sad

EDIT: I really had to laugh about this one: "because the 0.5 key = 1$ , i'm not going to give free gifts 1$ everyday" :D :D

i had a trade with me trying to get a bud for 26 keys in 30 minutes from when i opened the trade i i know it might be luck but i don't think it needs to be higher.

http://i.imgur.com/dYxYsHs.png

That can't be good, currently at 26.57

9:42 A.M. 1/24/13

The current price is fine.

price on tf2finance has officially dropped to 26.51, which is exactly in the middle of the current range, this needs to be closed

I'm closing this due to the fact that no one actually pays 26.5 keys for buds. It's either 26 or 27.
