My theory as to why key prices dropped significantly


Strange

Recommended Posts

Alright guys, to make this straight, I'm starting to think that the reason why keys have gone down so fast is because the Mann Co. Supply Crate Key (the key we all use for trading) has been cheaper on the Mann Co. Store than Steam Community Market. You see, when you buy from Mann Co., it crates a new item whereas on SCM, you're buying something off of an other user, so the people who wanna transfer their Steam wallet funds into keys may have noticed when Mann Co. is selling their keys cheaper than SCM. When multiple users do it, it adds a lot more keys in existence as usual and not many people unbox Mann Co. crates, which means there are more keys out there for sale than buyers. When this happens, people/bots start undercutting so the price just keeps going lower and lower till the undercutters stop undercutting. This may not be the real story behind it, but it's just a theory of what I think might have happened
