Out of the 24 in existence (last time I have checked) 5 have been sold on marketplpace.tf. The price of a key on marketplace.tf is $1.88

EDIT: the average price of a key during this entire sale time was within 6 cents of 1.88. Low- 1.82 High- 1.91

August 30th- $79.95/1.88 = 42.53 keys

August 31st- $99.95/1.88= 53.16 keys

September 1st- $80.00/1.88= 42.55 keys

September 2nd- $99.99/1.88= 53.18 keys

September 11th- $40.00/1.88= 21.28 keys (quick sell to a buy order)


the AVERAGE price of sale is $79.978/1.88= Average selling price of 42.54 keys on marketplace.


Current sell orders begin at $69.25, or 36.83 keys.

Sell orders start at approximately 35 keys on bp.tf


This indicates we are starting to find the resting price of the item, but with such a small sample size it would be impossible to narrow the price of this item within a 1 key range.


Given the evidence of 5 sales, I propose to value this unusual at 34-40 keys. This is below the average selling price since August 30th. However, taking a devaluation drop into account I believe this is an appropriate pricing until we see more of these in circulation.

You have to use the median key price of the day each item sold, not today's

    The difference is only 6 cents, it was 1.91 at the highest since august 30th if i'm not mistaken. Taking that into account, the average key price for this unusual would drop to approximately 41 instead of 42.54. My original point still stands and it is my belief is it still a reasonable proposition.

      Just saying but the mods won't accept this unless you use the correct key prices

        I am correct, check the key prices from Aug 30th-September 11th on marketplace.

Doesn't listen to criticism? nice

    I did listen to criticism. That's why there's an edit in my post.

      I didn't even mean it in a rude way, I'm just trying to make you understand that the mods won't accept this if it has estimated key values

        I also apologize if i came off as rude :-) i redid the math, and the difference of 6 cents is less than a key in either direction. My opinion is that it just needs to get priced so that more circulation of the product happens. I appreciate the advice you gave me, and I'll take it into consideration for any other posts I do :-)

Where did 34-40 come from?

    Remember that you're also going to need to find all the non Marketplace sales and factor in those as well, and do all the necessary minis for those sales too.

      Might want to close this?

      64 in existence now, 3 sellers at $55 on MP and 4 below 28k in classifieds

        Looking at the classies, there are sellers as low as 20-25 keys and sellers for $50 on mp.tf. This clearly is not accurate anymore, so I would close this.

          Closing due to lack of follow-up
