norby89 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 It would be awesome if we could view the price change history of an item, similar to TF2Finance: http://puu.sh/2l2nW (again sorry if it's been suggested already, I couldn't find any topics on this forum)
Jymotion Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 you can see previous suggestions: http://backpack.tf/vote/54/6/0 in case you werent aware of that
norby89 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Yes I'm aware of that, but it would be great to take all that data and put it in graph form. Just by taking a quick glance at the graph you could clearly understand the trending of an item without having to dig through past suggestions. It would also be useful in deciding what to invest and what not to invest in.
Puddilicious Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 It would be nice if each price on the Price List had graphs that showed it's price changes over a season and/or year. A graph for 2011 prices, one for 2012 prices, one for 2013 prices; each one shown next to the other or have all the lines on one graph with toggles for each year's/season's prices. It would be interesting to see the differences and similarities in yearly or seasonal price trends. The graph or graphs could be part of that item's stats.tf page, it's price suggestion/price history page or a new page altogether.
✔ P I X E L A T E D ✔ Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 That should be a premium only thing, it allows people to pay extra to predict items prices throughout the year.

Chief D Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah it's been suggested many times and Brad was thinking about it. That's why he was doubting if we should allow unusual price bumps, I believe.
There Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Is this a premium perk? Or is this not on backpack.tf? Anyway, a graph that shows the price of items and previous prices would be sweet. If we had that and removed the ominous up or down arrow that people think means that an item is going down, it would be great! But it would require a lot of work, so maybe a donator privilege?
Baloo Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Not a premium perk, it'd be a rather useless one if it was since that type of information had no need yo be withheld to the public. The issue is people start to think they can predict trends and won't buy anything decreasing in price.

The issue is people start to think they can predict trends and won't buy anything decreasing in price. Not really. When the Crate #40 spiked up to 12 keys, and then fell because everyone sold it, everybody knew that it was going down. Anyone who can afford a 6 key item knows that an item is going down... but they still bought them. People make really stupid decisions. Anyone who would actually care about an item going down wouldn't buy it anyway, regardless of the graph feature.
Chief D Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Been suggested before and I think Brad wanted to add it, at least for unusuals. I guess he ditched the idea?

Puddilicious Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I merged the three topics instead of keeping them in separate threads.
