Can somoene explain this to me? changes in bud and key prices cause the listed values now to be different than the original suggested prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whopz Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Do not use this site for pricing unusuals, ever. Use your best judgement and *current* offers on TF2OP. Past offers are completely meaningless; don't be fooled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♠Derpeh♤ Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 This was when unusuals were stored as USD price and not "buds/keys". The logic for this was if an unusual sold for ~1 bud and was ~25$ at the time, and later if buds rise to be ~35$ would it also make the unusual worth 35$? So back then it was stored at USD which made the prices shift around. This has now been changed for newer suggestions (but older ones still change...)as it was proven to be a failure as it made prices really inaccurate when keys/refs/buds kept changing making items really over priced or under priced.

Heated Bread Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Implying using unusual prices for 'guestimates' is wrong. A lot of traders don't use them that way at all, at least when they are trying to convince potential victims buyers/sellers. They're very aggressive about pushing bp.tf prices on others when it suits them, and very aggressive about trying to discrediting bp.tf when it suits them as well.
