you own one...

OMG!!!!

price manipulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Illuminati Actually, the one on the dollar bill is masonic, just like some presidants

no, im just kidding, looks good,

exept for the fact that you only have 8 links and 3 solds.

8 links:

3 sold

4 buyers

1 selller

Im just saying,

not many links in the big proof box,

how many links would i find if i potentially did a search on this item?

Well, Shall we do the maths?

http://www.tf2outpost.com/search/244173841 < 5 pages, ~2.85 pages are valid.

There is 20 listings per page so; (20*2)+17 = 57 listings.

I am only using trades that either sold above the current price or have 5 uses left.

I'm going to use the first page to find an average on how much have 5 uses left. Of 20 listings, ~13 have 5 uses.

People like to highball, so I'm going to look at all 14 listings to see how many people are highballing (In this case, highballing = higher than my proposed high end). Of 13 listings, 5 are highballing. So that's 13-5 = 8.

There was originally 57 listings so... 57-(8*2.85) = 34.2 (Rounded to 34). 34 listings in total.

We also can't include anything that's already sold (at bptf price or lower) so that's about 28 listings in total.

Or you could be boring and count every single listing...

Dueling mini games have always been a bit different from other items. In the same way that buyers drive the market with key suggestions, buyers have typically driven the market here as well. I would probably favor 0.33-0.66 here.

Most of the 0.33 sellers either have none in stock, quicksell or have less than 5 uses.

I only used 5 uses sales/sellers.

EDIT: There's only 2 or 3 listings at 0.33 on the classifieds as well.

Well I can confirm i bought around 500 for 0.77 each.

noice, i liek dules
