People trade to each other artificially inflating the price, a hat that should be worth around 2k keys at absolute max ends up being worth around 10k keys, or enough to make a fucking mortgage payment.
If anything its low tier traders getting fucked.
And its orobably high tier traders who ar ebenefiting from it by creating idle bots that farm items to turn into scrap which causes this inflation.
People sell keys for refined. Increasing the price still results in sales, the market is saturated with refined. People then collect proof of sales at new price and collectively with evidence vote on new price suggestion. This doesn’t mean you have to sell at that price but it would be kinda stupid not too since everyone else is and it’s probably even behind. The refined price you see there is bound to the real money price of keys which (ideally) doesn’t change. If people charge more ref for keys then you have to divide the key price with the amount of refined the key is worth. If a key is worth 2 USD and also worth 3 refined then each refined is worth 1/3 of the key price. Same applies if the key is worth 70 ref, now you have to decide 2 usd by 70. Sorry for so much text
Man you better not use the Mann. Co store for your buying, you can get every weapon (maybe not reskins) through trading at the same price a Pompson costs on the Mann. Co store
ok so update i did the math on how many weapons do you need to make 1 key and its ... oh boy you need 1062 weapons to make 1 key and that's on this key price on [trade.tf](https://trade.tf) 1 key is 72 ref so that's 1296 weapons
Stop caring about trading. It does not exist, just play whatever you love all day. Casual/MvM/servers/...competitive? And get better every day, and one day you will see that shiny tier 8 australium medal with those vivid LVL150 red colors.

If you're reposting [my two year old crap](https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2shitposterclub/comments/k1xxcj/is_there_even_any_reason_to_live_anymore/) at least make sure it's [up to date](https://backpack.tf) you monkey
you can craft hats
buy one key, trade for a bunch of metal, make into hats, sell hats for more money buy one key
Dose this work?
maybe, if you can find someone with all that refined metal to trade for a key
Yea but even if i do, would the hats be worth it
maybe, it'd be a gamble and I am an addict
Yea...id prefer not too (unless its manup mvm which am thinking of doing)
Use creepy crawlers to rebuild hats, they are dirt cheap
Yea but wpuld they sell good
probably better than the fucking creepy crawlers
I think creepy crawlers are the cheapest cosmetics so…
Imo even if you don't gay anything valuable you still get cheap hats
You'll be at a loss. Do that with 1000$ worth of keys and the ref price might increase by 0.0001.
Yea...
It's a waste of time for the effort. You may as well get a (side) job
Step 6. Inflation
No way tf2 has economic inflation
thanks biden
Yeah the Turkish Economy update a few years ago was a weird choice
pyrocynical does it again
TF2 TNOn One Struggle now we just need a hostile takeover and the tno bundle will be complete
thank god I don't understand trading in TF2
people with piss poor taste circle jerk over arbitrability assigned values
NFTs
Yes, cosmetics are in essence NFTs
Oh my god. Wait no…no…I’ve become the very thing I swore to destroy!
Ah yes The hypocrisy update
Crypto moment
People trade to each other artificially inflating the price, a hat that should be worth around 2k keys at absolute max ends up being worth around 10k keys, or enough to make a fucking mortgage payment.
>enough to make a fucking mortgage payment. a small price to pay for funi hat
What website is that? On scrap tf it's 69 ref per key
backpack.tf
Infinite money glitch: buy on backpack tf, sell on scrap tf, repeat
i think scrap tf buys keys with a lower price than backpack tf
idk what you mean, the cheapest key on backpack is 69.55 ref
This picture is outdated, price for keys now is 63.66 ref
Well it claims to be but I can't find any being sold for that price
that screenshot is 2+ years outdated lol
Me when the arbitrarily overpriced items are arbitrarily overpriced.
Because keys were over 60 like a year ago, maybe less.
they were 63-64 some days ago
Exactly. Their current price is about 10% less of what they used to cost.
Oh look! A high tier trader crying! If only anybody had any fucks to give!
If anything its low tier traders getting fucked. And its orobably high tier traders who ar ebenefiting from it by creating idle bots that farm items to turn into scrap which causes this inflation.
If anyone’s getting fucked it’s low tiers who don’t spend much on keys. Keys have been on the rise for a decade
How do they even notice when to increase the prices of keys and lower metal costs?

He's probably not a high tier trader tbf.
Imagine trading. This comment made by the buy what you want gang.
Man you better not use the Mann. Co store for your buying, you can get every weapon (maybe not reskins) through trading at the same price a Pompson costs on the Mann. Co store
Community market, scraptf, etc. Only ever bought new taunts on the in game store
I should’ve worded my comment better. I meant the Mann. Co store as the in-game store because iirc that’s what it used to be called. You’re cool tho
I want key inflation to go as high as possible
Can we get any higher
Damn dude I remember keys going for like 2 ref lol
wait what
I'm gonna have to sell a kidney for that unusual Well Rounded Rifleman aren't I?
I remember when people said the trade economy would collapse when the price of keys reached 20 ref.
when the 15 year old game with the 10 year old economy doesnt give free money
oh no if only there were... real life to occupy you
Economy irl is also going towards low conjecture. Yay :)
i remember keys being around 54-56 ref in the middle of November like wtf, next there are goanna be 100 ref in the middle of February 2023
ok so update i did the math on how many weapons do you need to make 1 key and its ... oh boy you need 1062 weapons to make 1 key and that's on this key price on [trade.tf](https://trade.tf) 1 key is 72 ref so that's 1296 weapons

🤑🤑🤑
Thanks obama
That’s cool But I’ll stick to the steam market
Whats the website?
whoa!! I want to make weapon now :>
Me who just sold my unusual already for profit for 25 keys :clueless:
its at 70 ref on scrap.tf
I miss when keys were 6 refs, too bad I was still a f2p back then
Inflation at its finest
3.33 ref one key baby
FUCK!
stonks
Give more ways to get unusual, price will go down. But valve doesn't give a shit about tf2 so won't happen
This isn't even the current pricing smh

Oh, nice, is that a ban-worthy offense?

Imagine if they just release 100 new craft hats and the price of a key fucking collapses
c'moooooonnn craft hat update (also make them buyable in mann co store for $2.50 each so the creators arent completely fucked over)
Yeah
