korjezilla Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 A little more than 1 week left of Scream Fortress XIII As I expect, all spell prices should go down by 2 - 3 Best time to buy some good items for cheap, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saylen Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humann Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a bubble at the end of the day, one year it might just get so big it'll pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLR 650 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 The TF2 resale market is almost dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisclub Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 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.

Ranx Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 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.

fran Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
