Looks like the Minigun is another one of those higher end stranges that just isn't getting any more love. Keys only keep going up and it seems to be getting harder for people to justify buying at this price, especially since it's 3 months old now and you can get a Botkiller that does the exact same thing for cheaper. Going to suggest a price of 1.75-2 keys, since what they really end up being offered for is about 8 refined. I think 1.6 on the lower end might be better because most keys are going for 5 refined, but I don't want to make too drastic of a drop here. Let me know if you guys feel otherwise. I'm also definitely open to more buyers proof, it's hard with only quickbuyers.

These ones are a bit of a challenge, since they're all just quickbuyers at 1 key. Any extra evidence is greatly appreciated!

Neutral, 80% trades: 2 hours - 1 day old

Oh look, another F2P who I've got to leave a witty response for, downvo-

UPVOTE!

Ha, thanks a lot man. Any other proof is greatly appreciated!

Just as i read isn't getting any love i was thinking: oh my god, another ass who wants his bp to get raised. DOW- what? a real suggestion? UPVOTE

Thanks for the upvote! I try to put some work into these.

But if he's putting it down, wouldn't it be the other way around as he's trying to lower an item so he can buy it?

D'oh, you caught me! Too bad the Iron Curtain is just too nice of a reskin to consider throwing down 2 keys on a class I don't play.

Found any sellers for less than 2? ie, b/o less than 2

Yup, there's a 1 key + 4 ref in there

Edit: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10256211

oh, one listed for 9 ref , which is -horribly- less than 2 keys

http://backpack.tf/classifieds/search/202/11/0

Still less than 2 keys.

That's still been sitting there for a somewhat long time for being below spreadsheet value on the site it's priced at. That's about 1.8 keys, so in the suggested range

Yup.

You got my upvote

It also has Revenge Kills.

Didn't pick that up, thanks!

9 ref is only around 1 rec bellow 2 keys even though keys are difficult to get for metal. It does have that part though it's not a good part.

Do note that this is a strange that costs quite a lot, with also much cheaper botkiller variants. Despite it might take longer, I was able to sell mine for 2 keys in around 12 hours. http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10241200 Staying neutral for now.

Thanks for the input, it seems like your situation is far more fortunate than others. No doubt someone decided that they liked heavy a lot and looked at spreadsheet and accepted the price of it. Most folks, like the guy here http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10050878, have been holding on to them up to a week with no success

True. 2 Keys are in range, so I'll see. Maybe a few more buyers/sellers at 1.75, as your buyer proof are below 1.75.

Sorry about the lack there, buyer proofs are next to impossible to find since all we have is quick buyers at a key

True, but you have to prove that people are selling at 1.75, and not just a random range.

Not quite random when that's the offers most people get. 2 keys may still be possible, such as in your case, but people seem to be offering at 1.75 on selling trades all too often. That's why I included 2 in the range still

Ok let me see

5th link, someone offered an all father's before the price of it dropped. that's 2 keys

18th link, gen noh mercy is 2 keys

19th link, unspecified how low the person wants, probably a lowball

20th link, okay first one less than 2 keys

21st link, just a bit under 2 keys

The rest seem to be unaccepeted offer.

What I'm saying is that you needa try to find proof of people willing to sell it for less than 2 keys. Offers don't matter if you wanna lower the price of an item, you have to find accepted ones, which is why I'm staying neutral for now.

Agreed!So agreed!

Bought mine for 1 key, 3 ref.

Upvote.

Thanks a lot! Would you mind linking the trade or a screenshot of your trade history?

Sure thing.

Thanks for delivering! I'd add it to the proof above but it's too late to edit, so have my like.

Upvote for me because botkillers really take over original strange stock weapons right now :)

like this comment if you upvoted this suggestion

dislike if you downvoted this suggestion.

ps: i upvoted :)

i'm not complaining but do you have proof that's actually sold at 1.75-2 keys?

I don't think you can suggest a price based at offers.

No, but when the majority of an item sits unsold at the current price it shows that the range is not correct because demand is low
