"Updating"

Not looking to sell this anytime soon, last priced 5 months ago.

Unsure as to where the other one is, but I think it's in a marked user's bp (Lienky or something).

Bought on SCM:

Listed Price (what I paid): http://imgur.com/7zINsME

Unfortunately I closed out of what the buyer received, so we'll go with trusty ol' math.

What I paid was 98.32$ (in SS above), steam takes 5% and tf2 takes 10% (15%), so 85% (-15%) would be what seller received.

98.32 x .85 = 83.57

Keys were 2.53 on scm at the time of purchase so using that as the price of keys (is this ok?).

98.32/2.53 = ~39

83.57/2.53 = ~33

Hence the range of 33-39.

Please let me know down below if the SCM value is correctly done and whatnot + leave constructive criticism, thanks!

cant have a range with one sale - use the price with the tax taken out

Most suggestions concerning SCM i've seen have been priced w/ seller's received and what the buyer paid.

With SCM sales you MUST have a range, with the high-end being what the buyer paid and the low end being what the seller received after taxes.

not being snarky at all here genuinely interested - i thought it was one flat price for scm sales? did something change recently i missed - i thought it was one price for all because of what ive seen in the past - see the suggestion for the stormy bonnet i own eli priced the pomson at 1 price from scm

I'm not sure about the past, or the rules now, but as far as logic goes, if you pay x amount, but seller receives a different x amount, why would it only be 1 price and not a range, when there have been 2 different values? Least that's how I think about it.

I guess you mean this ( http://backpack.tf/vote/id/5509a365ba8d88fa0e8b45e9 ), Eli didn't mention if the mini of 10 keys was taken from SCM, or if 10 keys was the mean of the range, but anyways the Pomson was part of a bigger deal and a change of 1-2 keys wasn't important.

What's important here is that if you are going to suggest a price on an item based on SCM sales, you need to take in account what seller receives and what buyer pays.

Just get rid of the range,you can`t get a range out of 1 sold/buyer/etc.

refer to above reply

You can actually. This seems fine to me Considering past market sales.

Actually, what seller receives isn't exactly 85% of what buyer pays. It's the 87%.

Why? Because taxes are an additional 15% of what seller receives. If seller receives X, buyer pays 1.15*X. If you do 1/1.15 you obtain 0.8695, which is 0.87.

Using your numbers, range should be ~34-39, but that's not a big change and it's totally not worth resuggesting. Just for future reference, since i have made the same mistake before, and sometimes could be important.

Ohh, i didn't know that :o Thanks man~

Other one is indeed with the banned user Alienky. He is caution tagged, not full on marked yet. http://www.tf2outpost.com/item/440,3935959479,30122,14

Congrats on the purchase! Great to see a bear be with somebody who loves it.

I figured I'd buy it considering the market of these sort of things has been diminishing quite quickly. And you could say it's....beary-nice.

No one in-particular to blame.

Really, no one.

No one.
