beponeko Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 https://marketplace.tf/items/1071;11;kt-3/Professional Strange Golden Frying Pan On Sep 1st and 2nd, 4 golden pans sold for an average of $2729.99, despite there being 6~ for sale at the same time for less. Is it only because of the sheen and killstreaker that some, or one person bought 4 golden pans for this unusually high price? Stolen credit card? Who knows. What do you think?

Stolen credit card? Who knows. What do you think? Neither of those ideas make sense--pro pan kits are ~$17 on the SCM, and you can just buy what you want and stick it on. That logic might work for one sale, but not for 4 in a short period of time. And if you stole a CC, you'd still have no incentive to pay more than you had to--credit cards generally have limits, and even if your intent was to max it out, you'd still want to make cost-effective purchases so you'd get more stuff. Aside from the obvious option of some super rich-ass who didn't know prices being taken advantage of by someone with 4 pans to sell... It almost looks like a buyer who was willing to pay more because of an existing relationship with the seller (back in the day, I had multiple instances of return buyers who were willing to pay my prices after I flatly told them that they could get the same thing for less elsewhere, though obviously for much smaller-value items) Could be Darth Fat-trooper https://backpack.tf/u/76561198112217552 wanted some pans, who knows.

Supply and demand, if theres a low supply at the time and same demand they will sell for more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LstratosHF Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 2700 usd is what double spelled ones are normally listed for, as opposed to 2200-2400 usd for non spelled ones, but it doesn't explain 4 pans at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teleporter of Bread Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Could've been part of a larger trade that took place in which that was the price agreed on the pans, or perhaps they were getting something along with the pans. Also could've been that the buyer was looking for a specific pan, spelled, a certain history, a certain lvl, who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaferman Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Usually when those sales happen its because those are all the pans available on market at the time. Sometimes all the pans on marketplace want 2,600-2,700. Sometimes they all want around 2,300-2,400. Prices vary depending on how desperate the buyer wants to sell/undercut.

DanielDee Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 A 200$ increase in price from the median 2500 is not a great deal of an increase at all... Not sure what the fuss is about. They probably had spells attached as alot of the high priced ones do. Hence the (!) next to the item desc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarool Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 There were not 4 sales at $2729.99, there was only 1. From what I've gathered, when more than one sale occurs on marketplace.tf in a day, it will display the highest value that it sold for on that day, at least for items that don't sell too often. In this case, it would be $2729.99. You can see what all the sales were if you click on the data point on the graph: So on September 1st, it sold for $2729.99, and $2050. As for September 2nd, it appears that there is a bit of an error with the site currently. It looks as if all sales that have occurred on the 1st of September will copy over to the 2nd of September. Same thing happened with the Nebula Universal Translator, it seems. https://marketplace.tf/items/30658;5;u99 At the moment, the best way to determine whether or not these are real or fake is to click on the data points. If they're duplicated data points, it should look like this: Also, according to the graph, the sale on the 30th of August is displayed twice, which might have something to do with that. Marketplace.tf's graphs appear to be pretty broken at the moment, so they aren't too reliable right now. But yeah, as to why it sold for that high, it was probably spelled or something.

Geel Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 The graphs have been updated to be accurate once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
