Some peoples sold robokeys for key+scrap/rec but those trades are 1 week old or even older.

Sad fact:

Peoples trying to get 1:2,2:3,3:4...

Peoples trying to get key+ 3 ref.

Facts:

1. Keys and robokyes prices are same (2.5$).

2. All special keys worth 1 key (Refreshing Summer, Naughty Winter....).

Well that's all thanks for your time!

Sold

he's not raising the price so this rule doesn't work in this case.

2nd link sold.

1 of them in 4th link sold.

Other links are useless.

2nd sold now but the 4th didn't sold, someone offered 5.66 and in outpost a lot of traders selling keys for 5.66 (regular keys).

check the item history of one of the keys in L4

Sold

All of your trades in "Not selling for 1.1 keys" are very young or are sold.

I sell them for $2 and thats more then a key so i dont think they went down.

And the special keys all turned into normal keys so they dont relate.

Ive sold i think 13 in the last day for 1 key + 1 reclaimed (1.05 keys)

http://puu.sh/3kFvG.png 1.05

http://puu.sh/3kFw2.png 1.05

http://puu.sh/3kFwr.png 1.05

http://puu.sh/3kFza.png 1.05 (Craft Hat Being 1.33)

http://puu.sh/3kFzI.png 11.77 for 2 (5.88 each or about 1.05 keys)

http://puu.sh/3kFA5.png 17.66 for 3 (5.88 each or about 1.05 keys)

1-1.05 keys? pretty sure that would round to 1.1 by the site

well they are still selling for more than 1 key, so i dont think 1 key flat is the way to go..

i think we might see these drop below a key in the future, which would add an interesting generation of cheap unboxes, and therefore very cheap unusuals.

Exactly what I think as they won't turn into normal keys after some time.

but you have to consider the fact that even though the keys are readily available the crates wont be.

that won't affect the price of keys. Robocrates may be getting worth more, but robokeys probably won't.

Actually they complement each other, its simple economics to me. For example, if the price of milk falls and milks used for tea, wouldnt people purchase the tea leaves more. Greater Demand will result in a price hike slow but steady hike. and the fact that the crates are limited is another excuse for it to happen. I think 1-1.1 is a very reasonable price rate for it. Sold over 10 for more than their value in keys+metal and items in the past week. Could get possible inv history if needed, but I think you would admit it, that its the logical thing for it.

i estimate there's 1M robocrates out there based on the 800K + that stats.tf reports. i don't think the crates will ever cause a shortage.

If people keep unboxing, they eventually will

those are just the ones that stats.tf reported. from june 4th (after the drop went rare) until today the # of robocrates that stats.tf reported went from 300K to 800K. clearly that's not drop system related - maybe crates being moved from unscanned alts to scanned accounts or maybe something else but remember stats.tf doesn't know everything. according to it the number of buds continues to go up daily (66575 a week ago, 66871 today) so it is always discovering more.

With the new crate #59, Robokeys can't open them. So not that surprising that a lot of traders are willing to do less then a key this week.

those key are permanent no ?

they are permanent

Mr. Newell, this is your game. You should know that...

You'll also notice that robokeys have dropped in price dramatically from £1.50-ish to about the same as a key. Good proof, upvoting

Dont forget mine! http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/11861328 ;]

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/11952181

Very good proof, upvote.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/11957406

I'm selling less then a key

Let's see how long it takes me to sell these :)

--------------------

edit: No one even added me for this price, but found a 1:1 trade

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/11952353

You put the scrap on the wrong side of the trade, so people might not understand it right.

Good point, but I did write the word "change"

I have to upvote. Plenty of people adding me asking for 1:1 even when I WROTE ON op I HAVE NO MORE KEYS LEFT

Another good proof is people who have then and what they sell for at community market , a price for normal key is currently 1.67 , and for robo key 1,66.Cheaper with 0,01 , but cheaper!

my market have the keys for 1.62 euro and the robokeys for 1.66 euro are you suggesting to drop the keys ref value?

Here's just another one with someone selling it for 1:1

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/11957567

Thanks.

I think the range is fine for now, they fetch a bit more than normal keys on the Steam market still. 1:1 is possible, but included in this range.

Downvote not convinced.

This is what the future-engie warned us about! All of this bickering over the key price will turn into something terrible!

Downvote. The counter-proof is convincing, and it's a small range anyway.

Lol it's got enought up votes only can down vote xD

That is very nice.

Now you can upvote :)

I think they should be even less valueable than a normal key. Anyone else?

Lol, why do you think that?

Lol, because most people doesnt like robo hats. Thus those robokeys are permanent. They won't revert to normal keys.

i feel like robokeys are going to be less then keys

because there not going to be many robocrates unboxes

i bet you an even find people selling for less 11 robo for 10 normal

1 key is already in the range. And it's not impossible to sell for 1.1

I thinks this rate of 1-1.1 is fine.

When will this be closed? o.O

Also I think this shouldn't be accepted because if you tried hard enough, you can sell the RoboKey for 1.11 in like 2 hours. All you need to do is put a little efoort into it..

you derped hard

Nice first suggestion

http://backpack.tf/classifieds/search/robo%20k

http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/440/Mann%20Co.%20Supply%20Crate%20Key and http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/440/RoboCrate%20Key - there's barely a $0.04 difference (almost nothing) between robokeys and keys, which might help this suggestion, although not very much.

Thanks and by the way this 0.04 is because peoples think that new things are better (until price drop).

Upvote, look at classifieds

only 3 keys in classifieds thats not a proof.

I bought several robo keys in 1:1 trades today, upvote.

Just face the truth, the demand for robokeys has almost died, there's no reason for them to be worth more than regular keys. Only an idiot would buy a robokey for key + sweets today.

At least some of the keys are going down..

Upvote,I think it's about time. It's really hard getting those few extra recs

Thanks for comment.

if you look on the community market both keys and robokeys are selling for £1:41 GBP

Just traded some for more than 1 key each:

http://puu.sh/3mrFg.png

http://puu.sh/3mrGm.png

http://puu.sh/3mrHm.png

All to the same guy, he kept asking for more.

More sold, 6:7

http://puu.sh/3mGa5.png

Sure, there are plenty of trades 1:1 for normal keys... but at the same time, there still seems to be some people willing to pay a bit more than a key. Why? I don't know... but I don't think the range should be removed just yet.

Robocrate item sucks, probably lower than 1 key

Upvotes are pretty positive and a reclaimed is so little on top of a key that 1.1 over values it. itd be better to do 1-1.05 but it would just round up.
