Buyers @ 6+ keys:


(NOTE: There was a very minimal amount of pages on Outpost that had traders wanting buds for keys versus buds for unusuals.)

Sellers. Still. Don't. Help. Raise. A. Price. That plus A lot of old sales. Downvote.

    I'm trying to even things out for the both of us, calm down.

      You salty dog get a drink of water

      Please just cut down the spaces between lines for my eyes. But early impressions are good.

        Fixing that right now. Sorry, this looked a lot better in notepad.

          Don't worry about it.

        Please Remove all the spaces between links, they are unnecessary.

        Why would you have unsolds below the price you're trying to raise?

          Unsolds for low end, sales for high end.

            Unsolds kinda make it look like you countered yourself.

            it's highly possible your solds are outlier due to classies and unsolds.

            downvote, no hate/anger/whatever ^_^

          Classifieds/SCM is pretty hard counter proof against this

            SCM is not a valid form of proof.

              SCM is supporting proof. It can be used to show something is to high if it's easy to buy alot on SCM for lower.

              Either way, 4 pages of classifieds for far less than 5.5 keys, 6 is way to high.

              Also, once things are sold in classifieds, they disappear.

                I think he meant sellers for lower/current price.

              I find it funny how people get so angry over a suggestion on a virtual item in a video game. I'm not here to try to anger anyone; I'm just making a suggestion.

                "Classifieds/SCM is pretty hard counter proof against this" is mad? How? He was just saying that the suggestion was not really viable based on the large amount of opposing proof.

                    Actually that was just saying that a lot of the sales are old and that sellers don't raise a price, as well as bringing up a pet peeve of mind when people refer to me/others using the clantag/part in parentheses at the end. Not anger. In addition that is not what you replied to.

                      How can you identify anger from a text comment...


                      http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/25762886 (5 keys 2 ref, 2 sold rest unsold)

                      http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/25788322 (5 keys 1 unsold)

                      http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/13168732 (5 keys 7 unsold)


                      Downvote for now.

                        That's alright. I also really appreciate the fact you provide proof yourself!

                          "how can you identify anger from a text comment"

                          you're right language cannot convey any emotion until it's verbalised, gg literature/newspapers/essentially all non-technical writing

                        So apparently supplying counter proof is a new form of anger

                          Eh, Harry's first comment had swearing involved, that points the anger out. He edited it though.

                            Yeah, I overblew the reaction to a minor pet peeve there. Apologies again.

                        Should've learned from when I made my original suggestion for buds that this more than likely not going to be accepted (which is okay. I don't care an awful lot.) I kinda wasted 4 or so hours of my time, and some of your guys' time. However, I thank the people making constructive comments or even comments in the first place; I appreciate it greatly. I love to hear the community's opinion. It intrigues me.

                            Eh, at least he's trying to do a proper suggestion, don't discourage him man.

                              Meh. I could really care less if anyone bans me.

                                Past suggestions mean nothing. Have you done anything you weren't proud of in the past. I would bet on yes.

                                suggester closed most of his last ones... and he's trying and has some proof :|

                                UPVOTED!!! Proof is better than most i have seen posted here in a long time. HAPPY!

                                  you're high, please just stop.

                                  http://backpack.tf/rules

                                  dont just say upvoted without even checking the proof and market.

                                    I did, so don't assume you know what i was doing here thank you! Now move on! Don't forget to click the disliked button.

                                      I'm surprised you're not new here.

                                          What are you babbling on about? You can earn the negs all by yourself. Plz troll to someone else as you stated before"please just stop.


                                          http://backpack.tf/rules".

                                              You just like to hear yourself ramble on! No one cares what you think, hate somewhere else. This kid made a great effort and you clearly hate that he did and now you seem to be trolling and what looks to be neg rep everyone. F*cking trolls nowadays.

                                                Did you actually check the proof though? And did you read your comment?


                                                "UPVOTED!!! PROOF IS BETTER THAN MOST I HAVE SEEN HERE POSTED IN A LONG TIME. HAPPY!"

                                                  The proof is all less than 2 weeks old (when the 5.25-5.5 key suggestion was created) and have proof of sales. I don't see anything wrong with it.

                                                    I'm not saying there's anything wrong w/ your evidence, I'm saying that he's making a fool of himself for calling it the best proof in the site in a while. Also, the first 3 pages of the Classifieds are full of sells at 5.1 keys and under. While it can't be used as main proof, it does show a small glimpse of the market, so take note of that.

                                                      currently 5 pages of sellers < 6 keys, we'll see how this goes

                                                    So now you are trying to control me and not be allowed to voice my opinion! Is this kid for real? Last i checked this was a public site for open voting and open thoughts that pertain to the vote?

                                                      comments on suggestions are supposed to be about the proof, not spamming "UPVOTE IZ GUD PR00F MY BP RAISE" or some shit like that. your original comment was pretty much spam, dont hate :P

                                        3 Reason why im upvoting:

                                        1. Good proof.

                                        2. I'm tired to make a suggestion to save the earbuds. (Failed 1 time).

                                        3. Keys with high price, and Earbuds too would be very good.

                                          Thanks! I appreciate your contribution.

                                            I'm glad to see the effort you put in this! All the spam lately has been horrible, keep up the great work.

                                              IF YOU WILL MAKE IT,

                                              I WILL HUG YOU SO HARD

                                            Up vote. One of the best suggestions of Earbuds.

                                              Here's another little piece of evidence, curtsy of Kai_D

                                                You can use my OP for more proof. I've been selling buds for 6 keys pretty frequently. Proof of selling 4 buds @ 6 keys just today => http://postimg.org/image/y3ic8a3q7/

                                                FINALLY THIS I CAN UPVOTE

                                                  good price sellect and prof i think.

                                                    Ev, I want to give you free buds,

                                                    I don't know why.

                                                      How much time it will take?

                                                        I appreciate your generosity, but you really don't have to.

                                                        Also, this will keep going until an admin approves.

                                                          God, the comments in here are awful. Seriously guys, handle this maturely.


                                                          Do not upvote this just because you want "buds to raise!!". Look at the evidence and make your input. There's one thing that kills the economy even more then anything and it's biased opinions.


                                                            Are you saying I made a bad suggestion?

                                                              Not at all, it's pretty well made honestly. It's just the comments some people are making are just awful.


                                                              Good luck.

                                                              Thanks you for providing evidence.

                                                              All those sales of 6 keys are impossible if there are unsold below 6 keys. This is illogical.

                                                              Ur 6 keys sales are actually useless because u can't simply determine the seller sell for 6 keys by stating their earbud are not in their bp

                                                              Sales of 6 keys are because of the seller sell their earbud to quickbuyers or buy unusual. This makes an illusion earbud can sell for 6 keys.

                                                                The unsolds are to show as to why there is a range.

                                                                  I don't really think u can sell for 6 keys when u can't sell for 5 keys. I am personally selling earbud for 5 keys for half of the day. I can only sell one of them. 6 keys is impossible.

                                                                  Link if u needed: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/25623490#latest

                                                                  6 keys? I don't think people can sell that

                                                                    You can use my OP for more proof. I've been selling buds for 6 keys pretty frequently. Proof of selling 4 buds @ 6 keys just today => http://postimg.org/image/y3ic8a3q7/

                                                                        2 more proofs of selling buds for 6 keys within the week. Pic => http://postimg.org/image/iaod6u12r/ There will always be people undercutting to make a quick-trade, but I have been selling them for 6 keys pretty frequently all week. Also have some trade offers I didn't accept in time from people also paying 6 keys.

                                                                          Sorry i didn't see the date of the transaction. When i see the date, I found out that the proof is invalid. One is sold at 18 Apr and which is like 1 week before and the other one is like 5 days ago. However, market changes very fast. U can't use old sales as proof

                                                                  The fact that 1 or 2 people are making sales @ 6 does not represent the entire market. There are simply way too many available at 5.5 or less, and the supporting comments/upvotes are being done blindly because of the #savethebuds mentality of the people who lost money over earbuds dropping. They've gone even under 5 keys on the SCM right now. I can find 5 pages of earbuds on classifieds alone @ 5 flat. 5 is not a 'quicksell'.

                                                                    "1 or 2 people are making sales @ 6"

                                                                    Have you looked at my proof, and Victoria's, and Kai_D's?

                                                                      Buds aren't currency

                                                                        Never said they were. Feel free to downvote again

                                                                          Why are u saying that? When you go to backpack.tf , you see 3 items : Refined Metal, Key and Earbud. What the **** are that 3 items? CURRENCY, including Earbud.

                                                                            Technically its an INFORMAL currency

                                                                              It isn't currency go look at the forum

                                                                                Just cause backpack.tf doesn't recognize it as a currency, doesn't mean it isn't a currency.

                                                                                And why it's right next to Ref and Key?

                                                                                  Doesn't mean its a currency

                                                                              They technically are, they're just not recognized as backpack.tf as a currency.

                                                                                Technically max and bills are currency then, right?

                                                                                  Informal, or in other words, uncommon. Like I've seen HOUWARS and Max's traded often for unusuals, but they haven't been recognized as currencies.

                                                                            I didn't find any buyers at 5, I didn't browse through dozens of pages but from what I read there and my own experience this suggestion doesn't reflect the reality, downvote.

                                                                              buyers at 5 aren't necessary

                                                                              i am sry bro i have to down vote cause look how many ppl are selling for between 4-5 keys = http://backpack.tf/classifieds/?item=Earbuds

                                                                                hmmm. reasonable, here have another vote

                                                                                    People like this say messed up shit, and I'm the one that gets warned for saying something as harmless as, "downvotin this">?????????

                                                                                      Well this and a comment that just says "downvote this" doesn't contribute to the suggestion, so what do you expect?

                                                                                    Eh, I'm quite uneasy about this, there are PLENTY of people selling for 5 or even less. I'm not gonna vote on this one.

                                                                                      http://www.tf2outpost.com/search/245782053

Classifieds was filled with 4.8-5 key buds at the time of this post. The amount of cherry picking here is outrageous. Not claiming that you're manipulating, but clearly not looking very hard for the 4-5 key sales. Downvote

                                                                                        ok outpost and waht backpack.tf sellers 4,5 key -_-

                                                                                          - 2 days ago sold 1 for 5 keys + 9 ref

                                                                                          - Sold 1 for 7 keys (trade.tf good deal, lol)


                                                                                          So, the average would be ~ 5.2 - 5.3. Invalid. Sorry.

                                                                                              there is bot selling for 4,82 keys : http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/25644481

                                                                                                  Earbud prices can't be more than the b/o's on classifieds, and thats that. As much as I want them to rise, they seem to be dropping even more on classifieds due to people getting the hell out of tf2. Sorry

                                                                                                    My 2 cents on your proof:


                                                                                                    I am only touching your proof where you have Seller @ 6 keys plus.


                                                                                                    PS: Last Price change was 14 days ago, approx.

                                                                                                    This is a terrible proof to prove 6 keys. Please see my next comment for analysis on your 6 key sales.

                                                                                                      Dude seriously first few links and I don't even want to click on your 6 keys links. I am sorry to say but other then 5 keys in the range, 6 keys is a terrible terrible idea.

                                                                                                        The space between your links is a terrible idea you should've fixed that

                                                                                                          Your lack of contributing to the discussion is a terrible idea, you should fix that.

                                                                                                      upvote :D gaben is with buds this time

                                                                                                        So do you have any actual reason why you upvoted or did you just upvote because you own a pair and want them to raise?

                                                                                                        You can find plenty of buds on outpost below 5 keys. First page is proof of that and second page has up to like 1/3 filled below 5. Rest is 5 keys. Edit: Also SCM has them at 12.20 as of now. If we use bp's converter that's 5.06 keys.


                                                                                                        I find it kind of funny how counter proof arguments have been getting disliked. So I know what to expect with this one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


                                                                                                        As much as I'd love for buds to come back to their former glory, they just won't. If this suggestion passes you'll see a small burst of hype like it happened a while ago, only to go back to their current price.


                                                                                                        Someone remember when bills were also currency? Yeah look at where they are now. They'll never go back to 8 keys.

                                                                                                          I honestly could see this range. I did recently sell one for I think, 5 keys 13 ref? It's not that uncommon to find people above 5 keys, like everyone keeps saying.

                                                                                                            idk wether to upvote this one or Harry's... What do you think, Eve? Is he also making a valid suggestion?

                                                                                                                This is clearly not going to pass and the only people who are upvoting are people who all own unusuals and buds and want a quick buck, or have no clue what they're talking about. I'm closing this down. Harry's suggestion is miles better, and his chat isn't filled with cancerous comments. I would like to thank troublemaker for commenting and being honest, along with everyone else.

                                                                                                                  Or not. Because this library internet sucks. I'll be closing this when I get home.
