Woifi The Viking Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 How to handle outdated bp.tf prices for unusuals? Quick Introduction: This is meant to be a quick Guide linked to a not so experienced trader who keeps quoting outdated and inflated bp.tf prices for unusuals. Reason: All bud prices were converted to key prices (using the key value of buds during the time of the suggestion). Example: http://backpack.tf/stats/Unusual/Master's%20Yellow%20Belt/Tradable/Craftable/18- 81-100 keys is the shown price. So how do I get the real value of my unusual without too much knowledge of everything? Back to our example: http://backpack.tf/stats/Unusual/Master's%20Yellow%20Belt/Tradable/Craftable/18 You scroll down to the last accepted suggestion and you see this: You see the original price is 4.2 buds. You take that *10 or *12 then you get 42 or 50 keys. A quick look on outpost brings us 2 sellers: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/24991038- asking for 4 buds http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/25396153- asking for 55 keys So outpost tells us the same. Why 10 or 12? Well buds were last stable at 12 keys for a longer time, then they dropped a bit to 10 keys and more. Unusuals started to decouple from buds at 10-12 keys. Of course this won't work with every unusual, some prices really changed over the time, but this is just a quick way to get at least a better price. PS: MOST IMPORTANTLY, don't use this for suggestions, just for trading. Jordan and Vaccinated Autist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
