I can keep linking you unsuccessful sellers all day, or I can also link you to the average weapon seller as well. It is clear that these are just like every other weapon. They will sell for 1 scrap each eventually over time when there is a trader who will pay 2 weapons for the 1 weapon he wants. However, they don't sell often enough for me to believe this site should suggest to traders that it will easily get 1 scrap when compared to other weapons. People scrap this all the time to scrap.tf or to scrapbankers and people value them as a normal weapon, and it is time for this site to advise traders that it is only a regular weapon now.

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21561879 - 2 weeks. Only 1 sold. - closed his bazaar trade, basically an invalid trade now

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21939380 - None sold. - all 4 sold now?

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21365288 - 3 weeks. Just a normal weapon seller - none in his bp

Scrap.tf is usually low on them because people just buy them because there is 0% risk in doing so, you can always just scrapbank them back. Maybe a more conservative drop is needed first (0.05-0.11).

But maybe you can find more kind of proof or you get enough good votes if we leave this up longer.

I wouldn't want to do a conservative drop for this because you might as well do it to most of the more popular weapons. We know weapons sell for 2 weapons or 1 scrap. But, they are still commonly scraped.

I wouldn't want it to be standard that all the new weapons when they get old are still being listed as .05-.11 because of a few trades showing that it obviously can get 1 scrap if you wait long enough.

.05 on a weapon is clearly already including .11 as common scrapbanker (trader) knowledge is that if someone wants a weapon they might just pay 2 weapons they clearly dont want for it.

My own personal trade http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/21973310

I have sold manmelters and plenty of vacinators. Not a single rescue ranger has sold. Its only been a day, but a day is a long time for a scrap valued item that should be much more desired than any other weapon if it still isnt recommend by this site as being a normal weapon.

Don't know know much more I should be adding. Its as clear as day that these are traded just like ever other weapon. Some trades with it unsold have sold a machina or spycicle already. It has the same selling rate as other sorta desired weapons have. They quickly are picked up on scraptf as woifi mentioned. Theres no risk in tryin to get to a weapon that bptf list as a scrap.

Thx. :D

Scrap.tf has absolutely none of this.

Hm. I saw them last night when I was cleaning them out of vaccinators. Well, still it isn't like it makes my point any less true about this weapon.

scrap.tf only has 1.

But that's close enough.

Seems like someone just scrapbanked some of them, either way supply is very low for 0.05.

Not really. There are plenty of weapons that are only .05, that are low in stock on scrap.tf (e.g huo-long, red tape, kritzkrieg, etc)

And scrap.tf shouldn't be that large of a determining factor.

The bots there also craft the weapons themselves, what matters is the ability for them to sell for 1 scrap. And if the site recommends that a trader take them in as 1 scrap. If you're selling a strange for 1 rec will it be okay for a seller to accept 3 rescue rangers or just value them as a weapon

I agree with you but you still need sellers.

Directing your attention to the wall of text that contains 10+ sellers.

I will also point out that before voting on any and all suggestions. It is a good idea to confirm for yourself, searching for trades yourself as well as using those that are linked.

If doing all that isn't enough for you, sorry then there is nothing more I can do to try to convince you.

Those are unsolds for the current price. I'm asking for sellers at your suggested price.

'no one ever trades weapons for weapons any more, so not like you can get definitive proof for 0.05'

I'll have to stay neutral then. I agree with you that these hypeless weapons should be valued equally, but you still need proof of people willing to sell it at your suggested price.

Lol, this just goes as my suggestion:

http://backpack.tf/vote/id/53babaf04cd7b89a2f8b4568

cares, just a question, can you prove that ANY weapon sells for ther bp.tf price - 0.05 ref?

There's even a topic for that on the forum:

http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/14320-suggestion-question-rescue-ranger-005-011-ref-a-delicious-cashew/

But looks like nobody cares for fairly lowering the price to 0.05 ref of hypeless weapons.

All you can do is show that they don't sell well at 1 scrap. And have the same selling rate as the average weapon. I had asked a mod before making this and it was agreed that finding definitive proof of .05 for weapons is basically impossible. And unsolds should suffice.

I was hoping the same for my suggestion... but it didn't work :( Wish you good luck and hoping this suggestion will get accepted.

scrap.tf is a great (and probably the only) source

I beg to differ

Count Scrapula is a donator only bot and therefore invalid.

76 in stock :D

Also have in mind that weapons priced as 1 scrap on bp.tf are considered rare by people and they will always try to sell them for 1 scrap instead of scrapbaking them. Look at the weapons which are part of the recipe for crafting the new weapons.
