Suggestion question: Allies extinguished part, Blind Polar Bear.

Why was this accepted?

 

Very little proof was provided, and as Jimmy Hunter pointed out on the suggestion, all 4 links were invalid in one way or another. 

 

As a matter of fact, it doesn't look like any of them went for a key until after that suggestion was posted. 

 

While I don't doubt that the item in question could easily sell for much higher than the backpack price, the suggestion was thin at best. 

 

Not accusing anyone, just looking for clarification.

Very little proof was provided

 

There are a total of 7 sellers on the market. There isn't a lot of proof available. The ones that do sell go either instantly for 3 ref or 6 ref-1 key. In my comment, I showed what happens to a seller who posts for 3 ref. Multiple adds within minutes. Clearly an issue where people who follow the site blindly are getting "sharked" by knowledgeable traders who recognize how easy it is to sell for a key. I thought it was about time to match the market value. Sure a suggestion of 0.8-1 would have been better, but there was no counter-suggestion up and it was obviously better than the current range of 3 ref flat

 

EDIT: if anyone wants to adjust it to a more accurate range with a counter-suggestion, feel free to do so.

There aren't many listings on tf2outpot and other trading websites,that's why.

There's blind polar bear

there is a bunch of proof in the comments suggesting that the range is close to accurate. polar bear did say .8-1 would be better, but this is certainly better than that 3 ref flat range

I still disagree with the mentality that "A range closer to the real range is better than an outdated one even when the proof sucks," but I do understand it. Thank you for the response.
