People seem to have quite a bit of trouble getting 6 keys for these anymore, tons of sellers on Outpost asking for 6 keys, some for even less. I think this indicates that the price could use a bit of a bump down. Have mercy, I'm going to do my best for my first suggestion, and any tips on improvement would be highly appreciated. ^^

---------6 key sellers----------

sellers=/=sold

Shouldn't the price indicate that they can be obtained for a lower price if it is available? Since there are live trades trying to sell for 5.5 keys, shouldn't that be included in the price range?

nope you need to provide proof of actual offers, like when the say "added". Or buyer links, when you press search put the botkiller on the right side, or find sold. when the offer says sold: blah blah blah....seller links that are unsold are never good proof

But the suggested change doesn't imply that 6 keys is impossible, but that the item can be obtained for less than 6 keys as well.

That's for raising a price. The latter are good but having a mix is great.

If people could get them for lower, thus not buying from 6 keys people.

Also on these stranges there are a lot of quick-buyers, it'd be tedious to try to fish out actual real buyers sometimes.

But in this case it is good proof, since he's showing that they're selling BELOW the current price, so the price should also follow.

This is really good proof, unsold at 6 keys, and sellers at 5.5 keys, hell, there's even one at 5 keys.

So before you say "bad proof" then try and learn when it's good or bad proof.

When raising a price, you have to show unsuccessful buyers at the current price.

And when lowering you have to show willing sellers below the current price, and also unsuccessful sellers at the current price.

People are selling for less than the current price (6 keys). Doesn't matter if sold or not.

Upvoted.

When a price is being lowered, you show unsold sellers at the current range. They don't need to sell, the purpose of them is that they don't. Showing sellers under the current range is good, but showing those links being sold doesn't help as much as it does when you raise it. You know this.

AH SHIT sorry man didnt know you were lowering the price...ah man i feel stupid ya got my up vote

Glad you realized the error of your ways, when that many people are hating on ya, should probably see if something is wrong.

Good suggestion, keep up the good work!
