You've got the right idea going on with the suggestion, but I want to clarify for all the other onlookers:
This item has a horrendously overinflated SCM price and backpack.tf turns that into its "key price."
This is because backpack.tf takes the SCM average of sales, and for some strange reason there is an $809 sale on SCM.
Obviously, this item is not worth $809 or even 29 keys, or even 1 key for that matter.
https://imgur.com/a/M78WaMH Scrolling over the item shows it is "worth" 29 keys, but we know that that is not correct.
So this suggestion is simply used as a PLACEHOLDER to bring the price down to its correct price. It was very common for inexperienced traders to be fooled by the 29 key price. For example, I could offer this on your 6 key item, say its worth 29, you look at the item price, and you think you're getting a good deal.

who payed $809 for this??? reworked the previous suggestion with actual sales and reworked again with the suggestion of the suggestors.

One example, this suggestion was made to bring the price from "60 keys" to just a few refined. https://backpack.tf/suggestion/60bf97db37876038f71c93ae
So it's an upvote for me, this suggestion will be useful in stopping the sharkers.
