Do you have any other 0.11 sales? I don't think one is enough to justify this change.

One is more than enough, the market for these is tiny.

One sale is enough.

There's next to no market for this item, making one sale enough.

So I could theoretically sell a random, unpopular uncraftable with next to no market for far more than it's worth one time, and use that to dictate the item's price for everyone else?

Doesn't seem like fair economics.

If the sale was proven to be legit, not price manipulation, no sellers countering you, yea, but the chances of the stars aligning is low and it would most likely show to be an outlier/price manipulation.

But how would you go about selling a weapon worth 0.05 Refined for X?

X= far more than it's worth.

Is 0.11 Refined far more than it's worth?

It's double the price, which in a collector's or niche market certainly seems like it's way more than it's worth. I've seen uncraftables go for 0.11 before, but I've never understood why. Theoretically, they should be worth less than regular items because they cannot be used in crafting. So why is there even a niche market in the first place? For the lulz or something? It's not like an uncraft SH is a particularly rare uncraftable.

In the case of price manipulation, at what point does it just become sharking? 2 scrap? Just two people randomly trading without really knowing its worth?

I asked several questions. Please answer them.

I mean, if you're not going to actually counter my point and meme it up, then I think I've won this one, unless you want to tell me why I'm wrong.

>In the case of price manipulation, at what point does it just become sharking? 2 scrap? Just two people randomly trading without really knowing its worth?

Sharking= Manipulating another person into thinking X when in fact Y is correct.

Price manipulation= Me and Salvage doing fake un-craft weapon trades to massively increase our bp values by a whopping 0.05 Refined.

>It's double the price, which in a collector's or niche market certainly seems like it's way more than it's worth.

No.

Ok.

No.

Ok.

Stop being rude please, this user is asking perfectly reasonable questions.

because new users who just want the weapon for actual gameplay/use buy them for a scrap? that's usually who I end up selling my uncraftable weapons to :< and you gotta consider the scale, double the price for a thing currently priced at 0.05 is a penny tops

(yes you can still sell weapons for a scrap each to people)

and it doesn't matter really what price you're selling it at, it's not really sharking until you try to lie about the item's value, people can try to sell them for whatever price they want :u (at least that's how I feel about sharking)

gonna leave this here
