http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/17284803 - sold for 2 ref

Just woke and saw this and freaking just said "What the f**ck" which just woke up my sister. Damn she's gonna kill me for breaking her beauty sleep ;( . in other notes Upvote.

the link is not valid :( neutral vote

There's none currently listed on Outpost, finding even this must've been hard.

I was about to say not nearly enough proof, then I looked at outpost... damn.

There's a lot on the SCM for a lot less than 2 ref, though...

SCM isn't usually a valid point for proof, but this might be a special case. Neutral. I'm interested to see if it gets accepted or not since the SCM price is closer to 2 rec.

And now the really cheap ones have been bought up, lmao.

And now the prices are close to 2 ref. GG price speculators.

Sorry, one trade doesn't control the whole market

This makes me remember this: http://backpack.tf/vote/id/52f157b34cd7b824358b4568

After thinking about this for a bit, I'm not so sure. The filter could just be an outlier. But maybe I'm wrong.

Not enough proof. Downvote.

people like this think theyre cool using grammar and shit. but he sees one link and auto downvotes....

You going to give your opinion on the suggestion and actually contribute or are you going to rant about mine?

i already contributed, you dont have to comment to contribute!

and yeah im going to rant

there's not "enough proof" because there are so few sellers for this item

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/18326247

literally the only one on outpost. I am not kidding, this is the only one on the site, and they have no set price. O.o

I don't know how to feel about this, so... neutral?

Wow, there aren't many of these on outpost, but i think its fair to say they are pretty rare right now.

After discussing it with two other mods, the consensus was that this suggestion is too high. The most recent SCM sale was at .35 SW$ (roughly a ref), and that was partly due to the presence of this suggestion.

I also find it very imprudent to base a price off nothing more than a single trader's word--the trader linked could easily have lied about what they sold it for (for any number of reasons), so it really doesn't seem like a substantial piece of evidence for such a large shift.

That said, the current price is clearly a little low--the ease with which these can get a ref would fit in with their high mann co price (.99 USD), but this 2 ref sale seems an outlier. Without more evidence, and given the ambivalent community reaction, I don't think it would be appropriate to raise the price by this much.
