    • Backpack.tf

The market is incredibly accurate when an item is both marketable and sells often. Most items aren't marketable, so backpack.tf is a great pricing guide. Furthermore, the items that are marketable are not necessarily selling often enough, or on a tight enough range to be helpful.

backpack.tf

 

Just like at the prices in scrap.tf's killstreak bot, you can't tell me that has any reasoning behind it. http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198135380728

the reasoning behind it is the steam market prices. they are tools so they are alway high in demand and they are consumed so the offer is alway limited.

I sold several HHHH spec for anywhere from 50-150 euro and a lot of rare strangifiers and killstreaks for way above their bp.tf price.

 

bp.tf is good for non marketables though I do agree to that.even though I am not interested into such items at the slightest.

Even then backpack can be more accurate, e.g. http://backpack.tf/classifieds?item=Air+Strike&quality=11&tradable=1&craftable=1

SCM is generally more accurate for tendencies. If the prices are volatile, it doesn't mean they are inaccurate.

 

Backpack.tf reflects the average price at a particular moment / period.

 

PS : You posted this topic in the wrong section I think.

If your talking skins, or killstreaks, Go with the market

But if your going with your run of the mill hats, just use backpack.tf, Using both isn't a bad thing

Totally unbiased but backpack.tf because the search function is actually useful and I don't want to waste 2 minutes making the scm search link to what I want it to link to
