All proof is from Vince, he requested me to do it for him as he's away.

"why in the world did the ref suggestion pass? he had very invalid proof and just by looking on TF2OP for 2 minutes i could find a handfull of sellers for .3$"

Links in bold are still selling and have a decent amount of stock.

Conclusion:

$0.30 for ref is possible to get, and should be in range. It's still possible to sell for more, though.

"sold out in a week"

"sold 3 rather quickly"

"sold out within 2 days, had 10 ref"

It's possible to sell at, but they sell pretty quickly, and if trades didn't frequently restocking them, they'd be none for .30

Yes, but if they are restocking, then that only means they're buying them for less, right?

Also, I'm pretty sure 100 ref in a week is not quick at all.

I hate to be that guy, but does the 1 cent difference really matter? (Oh and for those people who dislike because they don't like the opinion, you people are trash)

Made my backpack from 650 bucks go up to 700, yes it does matter.

Surprisingly, it actually does. Especially for high priced unusuals.

Yes, we're talking about a massively traded item here.

Just look at the graph: http://backpack.tf/stats/5002/6/0

Most of the changes are rather small (half a cent average)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15723795 - .3

Sold out within 2 days, had 10 ref. --> 10 ref is like nothing, that's only 3$. A paypal trade for such an ammount is usually just a waste of time.

Started out with 100 ref (in september), reestocks frequently, today has 30 ref and is still selling. --> bumped his trade after I accepted the last ref suggestion + 100 available? --> http://backpack.tf/id/76561198024633571 he never edited his trade notes probably, he sold his 30 ref in minutes for that price --> quicksell, guess why.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15705124 - .3

Had 20 ref, sold out within a week. --> wasn't even bumped once, so probably sold out within 2 hours? if you want to sell something on sourceop that is not an obvious quicksell price, you need to bump your threads.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/15728033 - .3

Currently has 40, 2 days since opened. --> webmoney, I'm pretty sure webmoney has some nice extra fees (like 10% or so) more than paypal. someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

one bulk seller. :)

PS: I corrected vince on most of these trades already, doesn't seem like he took it too seriously.

Don't shoot down the messenger ;~;

mkay, closing this, I hope Vince won't get mad at me.

~~f stop it with the smileys~~

You have to wait 1 week between currency suggestions

Not if it's a counter suggestion disagreeing with the previous one, and refined doesn't actually have a cooldown.

That's really weird, but thanks for the clarification

Why was this comment downvoted?

Because he posted this suggestion or am I missing something?

it's more than likely that any comment made by the OP on a suggestion like this or http://backpack.tf/vote/id/528945ca4dd7b870528b4569 will be downvoted, even if pointlessly.

However, the opposite goes for stuff like http://backpack.tf/vote/id/52893ce74dd7b8e93b8b456b

Ah so people will praise you when you do something that inflates their bp value but turn against you seconds later when you don't? even when it is called to drop a value?

Sigh.

Haters gonna hate.
