Chewi105 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Because of the recent update, this tag'll be added to several unique quality promo items, making them sellable on the SCM. This includes Bud's, Bills, BMOCs, etc. Do you think that this will affect the market, with promos being able to be obtained without paypal?

praise Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Most likely. I'm surely glad I stuck to dealing in keys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheddarZX Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 paypal trading will still exist lots of stuff can be paid with paypal (i.e. online services, buying stuff on the internet, etc.) steam wallet funds can only be used to buy steam stuff and you can't put steam funds in paypal or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heated Bread Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Well obviously it will have some kind of effect. The question is what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put your buds on the market, Steam middlemans for you, and theres absolutely no way to be scammed, so the SCM holds less risk. And while there are steam fees, there arent any bank transfer fees or overseas fees. I feel like its going to broaden the playing field for buying/sellling high tier promos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynexyl Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 the limited tag is kinda dispensable but yeah, paypal trading is still the best way to get real money. steam money is basically keys, now we just have a way to sell those directly, instead of selling it for keys and then market.

ocu.TF ♥ TWP Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Here's my humble analysis on Bill's, Buds and Maxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slocumruls Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 If anything this will actually slow the drop of buds as many of the people that sell buds for keys at lower rates do so to then buy games or smaller items. Those people will turn to the steam market now instead of selling the buds cheap for keys. Maxes will likely be mostly unaffected by the steam market due to people being much more concerned over duped Max heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gren Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Paypal trading for buds/keys at least will remain live and well, because paypal doesn't charge 15% on top of your price So the buyer gets a better deal and the seller gets money they can actually use irl.

dollypower Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't really get why would someone sell his buds for $40, given the fact that $40 is ~ 15 keys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't really get why would someone sell his buds for $40, given the fact that $40 is ~ 15 keys... The same reason why people sell keys on the market, to buy things. Using current SCM prices (buds $40.25, keys $2.44), selling earbuds would be about the same as selling 16.5 keys. That's about what they're selling at in keys right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Radiated Banana Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I think that maybe buds and bills might destabalise due to the market, but will stabalise later. Look at the stranges, they are much more stable ever since they added em on the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
