http://backpack.tf/classifieds/search/486/6/0 (most going for 6-6.5 wrapped)

You need to prove uncompleted trades at 6 keys.

So far you only provided proof that people are selling for 5.5 keys (6.5 with wrap) and it is in current range.

Even worse.

One unsold at 7 keys + 1 refined... what?

Offered 5.5 keys + own wrap.

One for 7 keys... I don't see how this supports your trade at all.

i am trying to lower the price to 5-5.5 keys they are adding in there own wrap to add price im just doing price of shades

1st link: All sold @ 5.5 keys except painted one.

2nd link: Most are within current range if you count gift wrap.

3rd link: Up for less than a day.

4th link: Legit proof. Unsold at 5.5, but still a bit new.

Also.... you were offered "6 keys + my wrap". http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9611693

yeah there at current range when wrapped

Your third link is my trade, and I sold it already a couple hours ago.

Sort of counterproof:

Sold for 6.85 keys [excluding wrap]:

-wrapped, sold for 16 ref, Fast Learner, Last Breath, and Brutal Bouffant, in less than a day (~7.85 keys at that time, Brutal was worth 1 key)

-rejected offers:

.....Halloween Spell: Chromatic Corruption + 6.66 ref (~7 keys)

.....6 pure keys

Oh yeah, and developers, you should really change the comments to enable rich text. Changing from italic to bold and stuff like that is too hard. :(

There are a lot of experienced traders who are selling them for 7 and more keys pre-wrapped, I know, that's hell of highball but It sounds ok to me !

Gotta downvote very hard to find at 5keys or even 5.5keys

I sold mine pretty fast for Black Bill's :D, downvote.

You're so lucky man, nice pick !

Yes, trader really needed those :D

that was a terrible trade...

Trying to buy one again? Seems like when you bought one, you tried to raise price, and now you don't own one any more, you try to bring down

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9610917

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9611693

i tried to make the price 6 before but it failed so i made is .5 keys lower cause people showed me how low they where going

The point of backpack.tf isn't to alter it to your desires, it is to find a common and reliable price that everyone uses.

6-6.5 keys

sold mine for 7 keys prewrapped easily.

I have been selling these @ 6 keys (my wrap super easy) http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9625461

Now im not sure how wrap effects value par-ce but lowering value seems not quite right at this time

i've bought mine for 5 keys, and wrapped!

nice so do you agree with me?

Yup , Key price are going up and up , nobody will pay 7~8 keys for a Wrapped S. Shades, Wake up , Guys. 5 ~ 5.5 is a good price.

thank you :)

I have sold over 150+ Pairs For 7 Keys Each Pre-Wraped

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7822351

As for unwrap I feel they should be 6 keys.

DownVote

I bought mine for 5 Keys AND Gift Wrap, and Wrap alone is 1 Key, so that's basically 6 Keys-worth. 6. The price is fine as it is

yes but the wrap on the shades makes it 6 so why make it 7

What are you talking about? I never even mentioned 7. I said the price is "fine as it is," which is at 5-6. Not 7.

ok sorry i am saying if you just bought it for that then its 6 keys and gift wrap is a key so yeah the price of shades is less then 6

Well, there's no way of buying just the Shades, if that's what you're implying. They're untradable alone. You'd HAVE to Wrap them. You don't just set your own price on an item you can't even trade, it's pointless.

yes you can you can add price of the wrap after so yeah cause its the items price not the item and wrap

But if you can't trade it beforehand, there's no use in pricing it, you might as well price a wrapped pair without adding the value of its wrap, or just add both of their values, not while it's unwrapped and still untradable.

Just wait till summer hits then people will be begging to pay at 7-8 keys since so many people want it. People who are selling it at 5-6 now is because they're following what the price is currently or want keys as quickly as possible, that's my theory. I've seen so many offers at 7 keys+ in items or keys, but most likely it's not going to go past 9 or 10 keys. Those who bought it at 5-6, good for you!

I just sold a pair of pink ones for a strange huntsman with headshot parts killed and 3 keys Downvote

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9467880 - sold for named and air debonair painted bills(8 keys+ so at least 7 if you subtract wrap)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7822351 - sold many at the max end of the value(excluding wrap) also has a lot of notable offers fror example gen doublecross+wrap, strange huntsman+strange yer= 11.75-13 keys!

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7631968 - claims to be sold out at 8 keys, has other offers of 7(6 if you take away wrap cost) also note an dirty juju+ sweets( 10-11 keys not including sweets)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9138796 - heres what he has turned down, 7 keys, gen doublecross painted black, strange huntsman+wrap(11-12 keys)

on top of that he has had quite a few peoplke add him to buy at 8 keys(at least 4 people in 1 week)

^^^^^ copy and pasted that from my suggestion to raise the price(was closed twice by the same admin for no reason even though i had solid proof for a raise and way more positive votes that negative) this item needs a bump up not down.

gotta love the maturity in the tf2 trading community

"your opinion differs from mine and even though you have a valid argument(not that i even looked into it ill just assume its bad evidence) and stated it in a reasonable way i will dislike your comment because it will accomplish things!"

they are doing overpay in items

2 times the price in overpay? and what about the people paying 7 keys pure+wrap?

i didnt do that trade it didnt work it was unsold

im sorry say again? you arent speaking clearly.

I hope the admins see through that petty attempt to manipulate the price.

They sell just fine for 7 keys:

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9750335

its not a petty attempt so yeah

EDIT: Moved up.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37757669/Summershades.png

Bought for 5.50 keys, sold for 6 keys 10 minutes later.

Easy downvote.

was it wrapped or no?

You can clearly see that on the screenshot. Also, cant be traded without wrap, therefore it should be included in the price.

i didnt look at your stupid screen shot

wow, I provide counter proof and thats the reply I get. Really seen better suggestions around here.

Downvote,sold a white one for VoT bills+strange dead ringer

Definitely an unnecessary drop in price. It's the seller's responsibility to 'pay' for the shades. Everytime I get my hands on shades, they sell for 6 keys within a day.

Links to prove:

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9591651

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9585228

As you can see, all of the trades have a very low amount of views, which means there's high demand for 6 keys. Once again, it's the seller's responsibility to supply the wrap. Downvote big time.

Downvote the range is fine

Conflicted votes, on the positive side. Lots of counterproof and disagreement in the comments, it's clear a drop isn't needed here.

Closing.
