A few sellers at 1 key, and many successful buyers at 1 key

Numerous sellers from 1-1.5 keys.

Very hard to sell for 1.5 keys, but it happens once in a while.

upvote, from own experience i know it is pretty easy to get one for key.

I have bougth 10 for 1 key 1 rec, its so easy and fast, however to re-sell them at 1.5 keys is pretty hard, the most i could get each time was 2 ref +1 key, your range is good, but in my opinio it should be 1-1.4 since keys are 5 yadda yadda, will provide screenshots for proof

buy / sell , the max people sell for 1.4 or 1.5 keys

That's why the upper end of the range is still 1.5 keys... I don't quite understand that comment.

good proof man, upvote

Nice proof, I might resubmit a range of 1-1.4 after (or if) this one gets accepted, since 1.5 keys is bloody difficult for people to deal with, with keys at 5 ref and all. Provided I find unsold at 1.5 keys, ofc.

I wouldn't be too sure of that.

Very nicely organized proof! Proof looks good too, you have my upvote!

stupid price for a salvaged crate item, but well, thats the price, upvote.

Dammit, I payed 3 keys for that months ago :/

No problem, the proofs are very good and organised, you have my upvote too.

the key price was lower "months ago", I don't really think you lost that much.

only greed is downvoting here, one of the best suggestions i`ve ever seen

Another sold for 1 key

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/11201602

definitely upvote.

http://puu.sh/32iyK.png - i had no trouble selling for 2

Well lucky you because that is even above the current range.

ive sold 2 mantreads at this price already in the last day

Two trades don't represent the whole economy.

That means 1.5 keys are out of the market. Easy 2 keys.

If you think 2 keys should be in the range then make your own suggestion.

I think it should but i wont bother. But 1 key is quicksell and shouldnt be in the range

So about 130 Mantreads (presented) were quick-sold to 1 key buyers. Okay.

Put up a trade buying mantreads for 1 key and I guarantee you will get an add within a couple of days.

Edit: Also since 1-1.5 keys is a fairly wide range, there doesn't need to be tons of sellers at 1 key with only 12 pgs on OP.

http://puu.sh/32HfI.png - Another at 2 keys

This suggestion will have positive votes only because voters see links and upvote and do not know about the item and like things going down

Wow you must be a great salesman or something.

I hope you can read a supply/demand graph

http://i.imgur.com/Xti0wfq.png

Hope you understand that 1 key is defiantly a quicksell price and that 1.5 is way better price. And i dont do anything but stay online and bump my trades, which most of outpost does not and thats why theirs go unsold.

And some of those guys above already sold thiers.

1 key may be a quicksell price, but one that happens often. As I said before, I am not suggesting 1 key flat, rather 1-1.5 keys which is a pretty wide range. Sales happen at 1 key and also at 1.5 keys. 2 keys is obviously an outlier (if you truly believe it isn't, then seriously create your own suggestion).

I don't have to suggest since 1.5 keys are the common price. I owuld agree to a 1.5-2 key suggestion.

Bu you shouldnt call 2 keys an outlier since i continually done it in one day. But all quicksell prices are excluded. And 1.5 is easy to get so that should be the low end and not hard to get.

I think you should read my proof again. People who have put up trades buying for 1 key and hoping to sell for more are having a tough time. Other buyers who stockpile (but aren't reselling atm) have TONS in their BP's. I am pretty sure 1 key should be in the range. There is a point where quicksales can't be considered quicksales anymore.

I'm a buyer at 1 key who is re selling. Theres guys who are re selling and theres guys who arent selling them but stocking up on them .

Quciksell isnt quicksell when it isnt a buyers price and sold quickly. Re sellers price should not be included.

I would like to point out that many current price ranges do not have many sellers at the low-end but have many buyers because the buyers want to pay as little as possible, and they see the low-end price suggestion and just hope for that price. Therefore, any seller at that price will generally get picked up immediately, especially those with wider price ranges. It shouldn't be counted as a quicksale, but the fact that the price was reasonable, it was sold quickly.

To leave out 1 key implies that it is very hard to buy for 1 key, which it definitely is not. I am including a high-end of 1.5 keys because some sales still happen, but not as frequently at that price. The happy equilibrium seems to be around 1 key + 1-2 ref which is in the middle of the range.

I guess there is no way I can convince you and no way you can convince me, so we will just wait for the mods.

Great proof, Upvoted!

Lol good thing i sold mine for about 4 keys in items yesterday to an misinformed trader.

Nice job admitting to sharking. Probably some poor kid, as well.

great and well organized proof, Upvote!

I agree with the price. Upvote

Unsure about this. I sold one a day or two ago at 7.33 and someone bought it in 5 mins. I'll remain neutral for now.

7.33 ref is ~1 key + 2 ref (1.38 keys) which is in my range and NOT in the current range of 1.5 keys (8 ref).

All that means is that a buyer made a search for the mantreads and yours was one of the first ones to pop up and it was at a reasonable price, so it was sold. Just because something sells quickly does not make it a "quicksale". A quicksale is defined more as a seller wanting metal immediately and does not want to wait around for a willing buyer at market price. Instead, they will just put a price that no one will refuse.

I meant to say 7.66, which is about 1.5 keys. Still, I'm unsure about this, because I still have some trouble buying quicksells at 6.33 ref.
