Suggestion: Earbuds at 13–14 keys

Conclusion: 14-key sales do happen a lot while there are so many sales at 13 keys (Even they went fast, it's necessary to include it in the range, given how 13 keys is also the most common trading point too). A range 13 - 14 is good for now.

Even SCM supports 13 keys as low-end.

Feel free to counter / support my proofs.

Your Sellers at 13 keys:

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/23790699 Sold

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/24005981 7 in stock - 7 Sold ( 14 were in stock ) , 7 Solds in 2 hours?

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/23993821 Sold

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/23995037 he got 3 adds

http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/23819291 Gifted

So only 1 valid seller at 13?

Yes 13 keys sales do happen , but it seems they sell pretty quicly.

How about 14 - 13.5 if you can get enough proof that 14 keys still possible.

Or just 13.5 flat ? It seems the fair price atm.

14 keys is completely possible as shown above.

Even 13 keys are QS, no one can deny that it's the most common trading point now, even they went fast. In last 13 hours, 13 happens most so there is no reason for it not to be in the range. Even SCM supports the low-end.

Also, with only 2 sales at 13.5 keys, I failed to see how 13.5 is the most common trading point for either end. 13.5 flat is just plain inaccurate.

scm fluctuates more than a key or 2 each day for buds. Would make for terrible proof, even as support. This is probably the most accurate range currently though.

Kill unusual market? Nah just makes unusuals easier to buy :^)))

Upvote btw

Yep, just sold one for 13 keys

Well, i dont realy know, but mostly thats sould look like 13-13,5 keys, soz sold at 14 keys still lower and lower once again. But, thats just ihmo.

If that looks like 13 - 13.5 keys, explain those 14-key sales please.

Well, i didnt said 14 keys range is wrong. But 70% of sales its 13-13.5 keys.

30% of 14-key sales are too many to be excluded out of the range.

Well, thats your suggestion, i just used my option, thanks for respond.

Buds probably wont rise until next year :P

nice proof.upvote.

RIP Earbuds 2014.

Damnit... like i need my baclpack value to drop more...proof is there though... its bullshit, but no choice but believe it.

incredibly reluctant upvote...

done like a poet ^

13 keys appears to be a quicksell, it sells really fast (atleast for clean ones), scrap.tf sells for 13 now and there are no bud on their bots now. Better range would be 13.5-14. Staying neutral for now

I guess I will have to UPVOTE since there is so much proof.

14 seems to happen less and less. But to be conservative, I can see why you included 14 in the range instead of going to 13.5 or something.

Upboat, don't see a problem with this suggestion. Maybe include more solds at 13 if possible? If this fails, will probably be for a silly reason like that. GJ and GL

To be honest, this economy is pretty impressive. It's an economy developed in a game... ame... me... e...

If you're looking for stable, go to csgo, it's stable but you won't be making any profit and the lowballs are worse there.

all your links at 13 keys quicksold

Worth to notice that they happened most.

fair enough

Sales in last 21 hours.

13 still goes fast and is still the most common trading point.

bought 26 buds today at 13 without too much trouble. The quantity trades were both open for a couple hours before I added. The guy with 9 had sold 2 in that time.

Yes, this is genius, I see where you're going with this...

I'll sell my unusual for 1 bud and 3 keys then THE BUDS INCREASE BACK UP AND VOILA! VIVA LA PROFIT!

upvoted by the way nice proof lol

How is he "Admitting he is manipulating."? He admitted that buds being lowered will cause problems with unusual prices in keys, yes, but nowhere did he NOT support the suggestion with proof. There's a large difference between manipulation and making an observation.

Upvote, good proof.

So I have been following both earbuds suggestions for a few days. This and http://backpack.tf/vote/id/5482967ab88d8823398b4742

Both are well supported with valid proofs, and I can see either passing. Unfortunately I'm going to give the edge to the other suggestion, with the range 13-13.5 keys.

Why?

Well. First and foremost, there is an abundance of supply of buds below 13.5 buds. However, I was not convinced.

Until I saw this bot: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198105725159

Bud Dispenser is currently selling keys for 13 keys and 6 ref (13.47 ref)(and they have quite a bit of stock). To me, that's equivalent of saying "we're confident to give you an unlimited amount of buds for ~13.5 keys." My unwritten rule is that if I can buy a bud from them easily for 13.5 keys, then buds should not be valued above 13.5 keys.

Also, Hanako Rika, words cannot express how deeply in love I am with you.

I sold 4 pairs for 13 keys each!
