More accurate price this time.

Sellers :

http://backpack.tf/classifieds/?item=Backstabber%27s%20Boomslang&quality=11&tradable=1&craftable=1 (3key )

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20205748 ( 3 keys - 4 keys )

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21412718 ( painted - 3 Keys )

Sold :

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/20205748 ( Now he has sold 5 of them, 3 for 3 keys, 1 for 3.5 keys and 1 for 4 keys )

Although your seller sold multiple, I think you need more sold for that, especially if you are removing 2.5 keys from the range.

sellers do not count as valid proof if you want to increas the price on an item. (its in the rules ;) )

also, you need more than 1 link (even if he sold multible of the item) ... downvote until more proof.

As I'd love to provide more proof, this is rare and sellers are rare as well. 2.5 keys is a old and totally false price, taking it out of the range is necessary.

Just saying, you don't always need more than 1 sale to prove a price, especially with items like these

Thanks for the support, that's what I tried to explain 3 times but well, people can't understand that these items are rare.

It's specified in the rules, I did what "I could do" to find proof, and to be honest I think that 5 boomslang sold for 3 keys or more should be an acceptable proof, since there are so few of them

only 4 on the market atm that are not painted two people declined 3 keys this needs rise but with better proof

also you need solds not sellers

If this is getting closed again, i'll let someone else do it, i'm bad at this

Here's some of my solds:

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21612620 - 4 keys (painted lime)

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21611568 - 3 keys

the 3 key trade sold within minutes, 4 key trade sold in less than a day

Supporting evidence:

Many more sales on the steam market than documented sales here, so they are well worth looking at. Only two have been available on the steam market for under $9.00 in the past week, out of 24 total sales starting July 24th:

Average sale is $10.31 over that span.

Even at the lowest estimate of key value (buying keys with the proceeds of the sale), this is over 3.5 keys. Selling keys to buy one would cost you a hair under 5 keys. Even assuming that the solds had an average paint value of 0.5 keys (I would guess less, based on current availability), the sales clearly support a higher price than 2.5 keys.

If you are able to buy one for 2.5 keys, you will make a handsome profit from the market, which is likely to be a big reason why it's going up.

Yeah this is insane, I saw this for a lot of strange misc

Yes, I'm aware it doesn't count as primary evidence. That's why I called it supporting, despite having a much higher sales volume than any trading site.

Down Voted that proof is so little.

Less than a page of sellers on outpost

Then try to find more.

I'm going to tell you now that that boomslang I sold was sold a significantly long time ago. But yes it did sell. If needed I'll send a screenshot in my free time.

Hmm ... 3 keys flat, quite lower, but, quite good because sticking to the fact with 1 stubborn seller at 3.

.... only sharks buy at 2.5 keys and seller at 2.5 must be on charity mode.

Upvote. Looking awesome.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21683466 Sold for 3.5?

That is still unsold I think, if you check item id, first one is the current owner, which is the guy that made that post. Btw it is banned for relisting. I would discard that as a proof.

Well, if you check his bp he doesn't own it anymore, and when I posted the link I believe he had 3 keys and 5 ref in there

Yeah, my fault on that, it is not in his bp. It is hard since it is an strange item(6 listings in tf2o), I think another listing at that price would be needed to make another factible price suggestion, but I don't really know.

SCM breaks the tie for me
