Fourth price suggestion, let's do this!
SECTION 1: OPENING ARGUMENTS
Here's the deal, 1 key as a price recommendation for this item is too high, and many are choosing to sell at a price of 8 ref as opposed to 1 key. The sellers at 1 key are not having their item sold. I'm not going to take into account lower sellers since they are quick sellers (people selling in the 7-7.66 area. A price change to 8 ref makes the most sense.
SECTION 2: SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE:
Let's start off by looking at the amount of Flapjacks at 1 key that have not been selling
Unsolds at 1 key (at time of writing)

I want to put in some "young" trades so that we can monitor them during the voting period. Think of it as evidence that will become valid as time goes on.
Young Unsolds at 1 key (at time of writing)

[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21106698[/url] Unsold 11 hours
Again, this isn't evidence that applies now, but will become valid if these things follow my theory which is that they will go unsold.
Now, let's take a look at people who are trading for 8 refined

[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21098359[/url]
[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21087033[/url] Selling for 8 ref, took 9 ref in overpay
[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21085743[/url] Sold. User forgot to close trade
SECTION 3: CLASSIFIEDS.
Besides some quicksellers, a lot of people are choosing to sell for 8 refined, and the ones being sold at 1 key have gone unsold. There are currently:
3 sellers at 7 refined
1 seller at 7.33
4 sellers at 8 refined
Of the 19 sellers at 1 key that have been bumped in the last day, all of them have gone unsold
SECTION 4: BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
In a nutshell, people who are selling for 1 key are not getting their item sold. 8 refined seems to be where a lot of people are selling at, and ones being sold for 8 ref are being bought by people. 8 refined is a good price for now because it doesn't take into account the quicksellers. Thanks for reading!
Here are some more unsolds
[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20998786[/url] Unsold 4 days
[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20722863[/url] Listed at 1 key, took 5 days until he sold for 8 ref
[url]http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20989683[/url] Unsold 4 days
I do think this deserves a drop as I have been trying to sell mine for 1 key to no avail.

However, I think you should find more trades that are older than 1 day, such as mine. It helps really "hit it home" that they aren't selling easily for the current price.
Thanks for providing an example for me. I'm going to add it to my original post
