Dinosaurus Rex Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Key sale prices on Backpack: 54.55 - 54.77 ($2.182 @ 54.66 REF) Key sale prices on Marketplace: $1.68 / 0.04 (1 REF) = 42 REF Am I missing out on something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norah Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 If I had to hazard a guess, it would be because of Marketplace's tax on sales. On MP, since you only get three cents for every four cent Refined sale, it takes 56 ref sales to purchase a key at the current minute. In that sense it stays pretty consistent with the backpack value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, you get four cents for every ref sale. https://imgur.com/a/NAHH9G6 (trend shows drop of 73 ref sold every day for the past 90 days) Ref sales are going down overall over the last few months. It's honestly only a matter of time until they hit 0.03, and if marketplace somehow allowed users to sell for halves of a cent (idk, selling 2 ref for seven cents or something), then they would have already dropped down to that level.

Uncle Dang Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Because the "real" price of ref would be like 3.2 cents or something currently, but you can't denote fractions of a cent on marketplace, so it's been rounded up to the full 4 cents. It will be an instantaneous drop to 3 cents before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
