I'm a bit new to this whole shindig, so, feel free to give me some criticism. I started off with something I deal with everyday: robot parts. I don't think people will really get in a fit if this drops in price, cause it's getting harder to sell as is. Anyways, proof below. And, yes, I own a few. I play MvM frequently. :v

Buyers:

I don't count the swapping service bots.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19650928 ---> 0.11 (states that he's buying for backpack.tf prices). Doesn't seem to have any in his inventory, but he was only looking for one anyways.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19561951 ---> 0.11 ref each. Seems to be constantly buying them and using them for personal use.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19893977 ---> 0.11 ref each for bomb stabilizers. Seems to undercut if you sell him more than 4, though. But, it's still a scrap each.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19638624 ---> 0.11 ref each (States outright he buys for backpack.tf prices). Looks like he's just buying for personal use.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19898425 ---> 0.11 ref per stabilizer. Clearly forgot to close the trap or he's paying in weps, cause I don't see any fabricators in his inventory and he's only got a few reinforced parts (not stabilizers). Clearly just buying for personal use.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19842243 ---> 0.11. Don't see any stabilizers in his inventory, but, his buying price indicates that he's clearly willing to buy them for a scrap each anyways.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19674539 ---> 0.05 ref/1 weapon per reinforced part. He's bought a few (literally three), so it may be far fetched for proof. Still going to include it, however.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19324787 ---> 0.05 (2 for a scrap). Has bought plenty.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/18176962 ---> 0.05 ref (2 per scrap). He's bought a few, comments checked off indicate that he has.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/18654329 ---> 0.05 (2 per scrap). Has bought plenty.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19787635 ---> 0.05 (1 wep). States he'll pay more in bulk, but, that can be any amount. Seems to have bought plenty.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19533406 ---> 0.05 ref (bot trader). Seems to be doing well. Backpack suggests that he's bought plenty of these things.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/18075640 ---> 0.05. 1 wep per 2 reinforced (this includes stabilizers). States he's bought 270 different parts. This could include stabilizers, but not very reliable. He's got a few in his backpack, though.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/18981981 ---> Was purchasing 60 reinforced parts for a single ToD ticket (3.33 ref per ticket, 0.05 ref per part = 3 ref. Seemed to be underselling himself by a rec, but, still counts as evidence). Seems to still have parts in his BP that are traded (pg 17 shows a bunch of stabilizers that were traded to him).

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19015430 ---> 0.01 ref (8 for a scrap, what the hell?). Alright, well, just tossing that out there cause I guess this guy has purchased quite a bit of them. Might just be for people who don't want to deal with the parts, so, you can have that as a joke, versus actual proof for my range.

Buyers list goes on for roughly one more page. Decided to stop here.

Sellers (Includes solds/unsolds. I labelled them.):

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19871183 ---> 0.11 (2 days old. Young) (Unsold).

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19533388 ---> 0.11 (bot, 2 weeks old) (Sold). Has most likely sold a few. Comment at the top has a guy who has a trade up looking for them.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19563927 ---> 0.11 (2 weeks old) (Unsold). Seems to have people interested in purchasing emotion detectors/pumps. Not so much the bomb stabilizers.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19764653 ---> 0.11. (1 week old) (Unsold).

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19715960 ---> 0.11. (1 week old) (Unsold). Looks like he's selling for a scrap each or "upper backpack.tf value."

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/18855890 ---> 0.11. (1 month) (Unsold). Selling it for a month and no one wants it.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19717071 ---> 0.11. (1 week old) (Unsold).

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19829403 ---> 0.05 (4 days old, young) (Unsold).

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/18821578 ---> 0.05 (selling for "1 weapons each). (1 month old and barely any takers on the stabilizers) (Sold).

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19889935 ---> 0.05 (Selling "below backpack.tf" prices.) (1 day old. Really young) (Unsold).

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19771506 ---> 0.75 (1 week old). Doesn't seem to have anymore, so, going to assume that he's sold them all (Sold).

This list can go on for another 20 pages. I'll stop here.

It looks like, to me, it's becoming a bit difficult to really sell for a whole scrap without going to actively look for buyers. 0.05 scrap seems to be the most ideal choice, but 0.11 is still possible. With this evidence (and literally pages more to back it up) I believe it's a bit more realistic to give this thing a range of 0.05 - 0.11 because of the lack of people wanting to purchase this for their killstreak kits (to be fair, most killstreak kits don't use these very often. When they do, it's roughly 1 - 3, although I have seen some requiring more).

Feel free to provide counterproof (I'm sure there's plenty that I didn't get to spend 40 hours sifting through) and constructive criticism. Since this is my first time, please tell me how I can improve my post. I'll continue looking for more 0.05 sellers to help stack my evidence. I want to be active in the trading community, so, this is pretty much a learning lesson for me.

Thanks for reading my post.
