Suggestion: A Distinctive Lack of Hue at 2 keys

It's true. The black (not sure if white too) paints just aren't selling. Got one in a trade a few days ago and i've been unsuccessful at selling it for even 1 key. And looking around people are selling theirs for insanely low price, both on the market and everywhere else.

Not sure if this low price is gonna last, but it sure as heck won't disappear. So for now, the black and white paints are in desparate need of some price change.

Maybe the price drop is very low, but it's certainly a good start. Upboat.

what's interesting is that the ones bought in the sale are uncraftable, so the craftable paints still have a reasonable chance of remaining more expensive

Both black and white aren't selling for much. I sold a black paint for 8 ref eariler today but that was only because the buyer didn't have the Mobile Authentication thing on.

Of course nobody will buy it at even 1 key when they can get it for half the cost of a key at the Mann Co store. No need to panic, sale ends tomorrow, things will be back to normal within a couple of weeks.

I wouldn't say that. People have hoarded the paints now that they've been sold for cheap. So many people still have countless hundreds of paints left. It will take a while for the blac/white paint market to stablize again after this. I doubt it will take effect as soon as the sales end.

Same thing happened during every other paint sale, they always went back up within a relatively short time after the sale. If the past is any indication, the same thing will repeat itself. Not a guarantee of course as things can and do change.

Craftable is rare than uncraftable. As it currently holds betting value, some people will pay higher for it

SCM at 10 ref. I think this needs a bigger drop.

i thought market sales couldnt be used as proof? or something like that

They can't but if it sells for 10 ref on the SCM why would anyone pay 2 keys? So not sure if this suggestion is better than current price.

Paints on SCM are uncraftable (bought from the TF2 store with a 75% discount). This is the craftable version, which can't be obtained with the discount.

I agree that uncraft/craft on paints doesn't really matter, but prices are different right now and will stay the same for a while.

Hm, that makes sense however why would I pay 2 keys for a craftable paint when I can pay 10 ref for uncraftable one? They are the same imo.

Craftable holds betting value, uncraft doesnt

Sale is still in effect

I have noticed the value in paints in this update has changed Before this I had trouble selling a pink as hell fancy fedora for 8 ref now after this update It took me only 14 hours to sell it for 14ref Its weird. Also upboat.

Sale is still happening...
