Will Spell Prices go down?

As I expect, all spell prices should go down by 2 - 3

Best time to buy some good items for cheap, right?

By 2 - 3 what?

Keys? Refined? Scrap? USD?

 

I'm just gonna assume that you mean keys.

Spelled items usually increase in price around the time of Halloween because of obvious increase in demand and an already small-ish supply (for good ones at least).

That being said, when the event comes to a close prices should go back down to at least pre-October/event prices as the demand begins to dwindle out.

Due to that some of the lower end spelled items (like unique single-spelled hats or cosmetics) should drop 2 - 3 keys, as for the higher end ones (double-spelled strange hats & cosmetics or uniques with good combos) I can see them going down a bit yeah but not a whole 10 - 25% of their total value as seen in their cheaper counterparts.

 

So yeah, they're gonna go down but not a lot for some.

they will keep raising in price until they're re released back in the game which is very unlikely and only will happen in halloween

They can't rise indefinitely, restricted cosmetics and spelled items have always notoriously risen and then fallen (even if by just a small amount) during the coming and going of the events.

 

It's still a bubble at the end of the day, one year it might just get so big it'll pop.

i found spells actually dropped in value since the halloween event dropped. it seems most people got so hyped with the new effects that they wanted to sell as much stuff as they could, like spells, in order to afford new hats or unboxing. ive gotten a couple good deals on spells about 1-2 weeks into the event. prices still havent started to climb, they might get lower. 

 

most people expect prices of spells to climb during halloween but it doesnt happens as much. during summer people have nothing to be hyped about so they collect spells. during halloween, traders focus on new effects and sell their spells.

The best time to buy overall, is right before the early summer item update.  It doesn't matter what we're talking about whether it's unusuals, spelled items, unusualifiers, rare items, pro kits, aussie weps, etc.  

 

Best time to sell items is just before Halloween.

 

TF2 typically has had 3 item release updates a year for quite some time now.  Summer, Halloween and Xmas.

 

If you look at the bp.tf stats overall most items will slowly drop in price around that time of year,  after the summer update slowly building until just prior to halloween, with some sustain going into xmas and dropping again from there until just prior to summer release again. 

 

Some of my steam stats:

3,505

Items Owned

 

6,649

Trades Made

 

5,218

Market Transactions

spells are another thing that's forever increasing in price because they're "limited" and "rare", so no they're not going to go down in price any time soon except like, lower-tier paint spells and/or spells on garbage hats.

nice thread , i wanted to create a similar one myself : i just got into spells and was wondering the same thing

 

that's why so far i only bought two "low tier" / single class items (exorcism and voices) because i didn't want to risk overpaying during SF
