Suggestion: Earbuds at 16.5–17 keys

If the suggestion was very poor, I would have counter-suggested but since he gave it a little bit of shot, I backed it up even though the suggester ditched. :P

Time for another add!

Note: All are recent and young except one or two.

Thx for the additional proof, really helped this.

No counter suggestion in sight, maximum upvotes and already conservative, time to accept this.

And as usual, keep the cooldown rule in mind: http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/4347-a-cooldown-rule-is-in-effect-for-earbuds-until-further-notice-updated-nov-18/

Wait, upcar?

We did it! We killed unusual trading! Congratulations!

Maybe some more showing that rang? The proof seems a little small.

16.5 keys from personal experience i would say its a quicksell.

I sold 16 buds the last 2 days foe 16 keys 4 ref each very fast.

and i bought 5 at 16 keys 1-2 ref not so easy to find it here also plenty of buds are selling at 17 keys still so you need more proofs for that too.

upvote i have lots of adds to buy their buds for 16 keys ,15 keys the duped ones (so many)and 14 the gifted

NOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!

Don't spam on currency suggestions.

You don't even have buds...

Sold one for 17 keys in 4 minutes: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20104167

I have sold 5 buds today at 17 keys as well; I can take screenshots if needed. 16.5 keys or anything lower sells really fast if you keep bumping the trade.

Please post the screenshot. It would help a lot.

There you go. Finally I sold 8 of them (only yesterday) to different people as you can see and I'm pretty sure I could have sold more but I was out of stock:

Maybe I was lucky 8 times? I doubt it. x)

Thank you for posting the screenshot. No, 17 key is still very much possible. Its just that there are too many 16.5 key sellers to ignore at the moment.

stop pushing down buds! D: we all know they're just gonna hit 16, then go back to 20 again

Well, durrr. In what world do you live in where currency price stays consistent and never changes? Currency price are bound to change from time to time no matter what.

didn't ask, why don't you go away

Your stupidity was just begging to be corrected.

Needs a bit more proof, look at the past suggestion for an estimate of how much you need: http://backpack.tf/vote/id/537f093e4dd7b8ab778b4726

I'd suggest getting more sellers at 16.5, since you're not trying to disprove 17.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/19991065#latest open roughly 1 hour, got an add selling me a clean nongifted earbud for 16 keys pure. Hope it helps :S

i wait for 1 hr and sold mine for 17 keys pure easly , 16.5 is a quicksell . DOWNVOTE

considering I just bought one for 16.0 pure.

Look at the classified 16.5 everywhere

plenty of proof upvote

Enought proofs and while checking OP i´ve seen over 5 sellers under 16.5 . Who have enought keys and is able to wait 3 months buy as much as you can earbuds and wait few months and sell them for 21 keys profit 5 keys for each earbud if you buy 50-60 buds you have a massiv profit :)))

for buds to rise ate 21 keys buds first must start selling for 50$ something that wont happened soon if ever

It's an upvote from me now, 16.5 might seems like a quicksell but their easily available at 16.5.

Pretty badass to suggest a price suggestion for earbuds as your first one.

And pretty douchy to just leave it and not update it as the days passes, especially for an item like this where you expect daily updates on sellers and solds etc.

The majority of those buds are duped

Doesn't make a difference at all.......

So you are telling me if you had the choice between a duped and non duped pair of buds you would"nt mind ?

Or would you pick the Clean pair?

No one who usually trades with expensive items is going to check if the bud is duped or not. Most traders use them as currency like keys or metal, the only thing you should care about buds is if they're gifted or not.

It literally does not make any difference. They are a main currency.

I happened to sell a pair of my earbuds for 17 Keys pure

It's possible to sell for 17!

Proof: http://puu.sh/9d8Zc/84e58f6841.png

Still an upvote from me!

but is it possible to buy keys for 8.33 now?

It's very possible, I've bought several for that amount in the past week or so, or whenever the key price changed to 8.22-8.33 and why dislike additional proof?

i didnt i think responding with a like.can you remove your deslike now we are even.

To add onto this, I have sold a few more, but a key lower, as the first one was from a trade server, here's proof of selling 3 more..

http://puu.sh/9dRT8/4d76ebdad8.png

I have chosen to pretty much quicksell those as I needed pure keys

Mmmmmm. Perhaps this drop is needed, but I thought the dropping of buds was finally over. Shame. Well you would need a bit more proof.

Buds will keep dropping like when they drop on bp.tf they start to sell for cheaper on outpost and it keeps repeating itself

Like keys -.-

bp.tf has no place in creating market trends, the people who sell and buy do.

If we look at what we suggest their value at over time, it's always been like this.

Drop, rise, drop, rise, drop, rise. http://puu.sh/9hry0.png

Technically, Earbuds have only gone up in metal value over time due to key prices rising

I think saying 'bp.tf has no place in creating trends' is plain naive. It's clear they do - unfortunately it's a side effect of being a market analyser.

I'm pretty sure you don't have this trade in your proof so I'll add it.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20136082 Selling 5 for 17k, already sold 3 in less than 1 day.

Yup, as much as I agree 17 key is very much possible, you can't deny the fact that 16 - 16.5 or more isn't possible either.

Also, added more proof(Looks above). Definitely 16.5 - 17 is the most common trading price at the moment.

Looks like he sold all in a mere 1 day and a few hours. I definitely agree with this range.

I sold my bud for 11 keys + black Bill's hat wich is 18 keys O.O

1) ~16 Keys after overpay.

2) You need to provide a screenshot, or, as far as this community is concerned, it did not happen.

Sir black bills is 6 keys

You'd have to add in the item overpay

I would remake at 16.5 flat. Trade.tf is showing 16.5-16.6. Hardly any for 17.

Agree with the price change, however, it seems like it could use a tiny bit more of proof but other then that it seems fine. Up-vote. :3

I've listed my buds for 16 keys each, and trust me they don't even go that quickly..

Easily bought some buds for 16 keys 3-4 days ago. Price is definitely droping more, upvote.

Trade.tf itself is reporting around the 16.5 mark and classies are still filled with 16.2-16.5s on the front page currently. Looks good to me.

As sad as I am to keep seeing these drop. I'm going to have to upvote here.

Is it just me, or do buds tend to fall in the summer, much like everything else?

The Summer sale is coming. People need either Keys to buy games on OP or to sell on the SCM to buy the games themselves. At least thays why I think they're going down.

Well, I really don't know why do you all want still buds more priceless...

We don't make the price, we report them and display them for what they are currently going for as a common point. Classifieds alone have been selling at 16.6~ or lower for a few days before this suggestion even went up. Front page is still littered with 16.3-16.6s, so it's not hard to really find buds at 16.5 range.

Bought 8 for 16.5 yesterday, took me 2 mins to find a bot. 17 still sells, 16.5 is DEFINETLY possible though. Upvote!

A guy selling for 16.5, just adding

why should 17 be in range if you can't sell it for 17?
