DarkFyre Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Honest question. I'm stumped. And how much would they go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainford Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Buds have been going down because of a 2 main reasons: Community Market Updates (halloween, EOTL, etc) After all the annual updates have stopped releasing in ~january they will go back up again, they always have.

Дебра Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 After christmas kids will want buds with christmas money. Buds will have higher demand. Also halloween is what killed the buds, unbox hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Jesus Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Buds might go up because blah blah unusual demand or someone tries to profit from a bunch of cheap buds they bought Who knows. Gut feeling is that SCM will keep them lower than "before", since I doubt prices will jump to ~18 keys both in reg trading and over SCM. If prices between the two aren't fairly close, people would take notice and arbitrage until that pricing difference likely faded away. Not even sure if 10 keys is the floor for buds. Could probably find sellers below that until the event is close to over. If they rebound, I wouldn't assume anything past 13-14 keys and probably a slower rebound due to SCM gradually sliding up bud prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also halloween is what killed the buds, unbox hype. - Exactly Some guy actually offered my pure B/O on an unusual. He said he'd have the buds by the 25th.

Heated Bread Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Buds will go up because of the greedy admins of backpack.tf just like how everything else that is wrong with the economy is their fault too Illuminati confirmed No but seriously, I'm not really sure they'll recover all that much once Christmas is over. I'm sure that they'll go up a bit, but due to them now being marketable, I don't think we'll ever see them return to the old days of being 20+ keys again, and they may just gradually decline like bill's hats.

E-Arkham Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 They'll go up. Nobody in their right mind wants to count out 200+ keys in a trade window, and nothing else is suitable to take the place of a multi-key currency for mid- to high-tier unusuals.

Space Jesus Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Max Heads could certainly fill that gap. If they had never been duped, the supply might be too low, but they would probably function fine as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Arkham Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 82,000 buds compared to 10,000 maxes. I strongly doubt that'll happen, and it certainly wouldn't be received well. For years, earbuds for unusuals and vice versa has been a trading standard; it's not likely to change just because buds are taking their seasonal dip harder this year from the steam market. Buds haven't even hit their historical all time low yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Jesus Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I don't know if those stats take dupes into account, but still Max's could work fine. 40 keys to a Max (as an example, could be whatever amount), unusuals under that would be keys only or seller adds keys if you use a Max (40 keys shouldn't be a big deal for someone to fit in their BP), and everything above could be Max Heads + Keys.

Space Jesus Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 They don't take dupes into account. http://stats.tf/faq I did not think so, but ty. Should mean that there are more Maxs and Buds out there, not too worried about quantity unless Max head took a massive drop to be the new Bud replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heated Bread Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/440/Earbudsby the way the rise has started Possibly. Too early to say. But it would make sense if people are just now starting to get gift cards and christmas money. By the way, look how some lucky guy got a pair of buds for 2.32 usd. Even if we assume that the buds were gifted and duped, that's still a hell of a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Buds are now ~25€ (12,5 keys) on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
