DanyellDayLoois Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I doubt it will go down past 4 ref, but damn, it makes me feel good to know keys are getting that bit cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3xlneet Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Keys drop like 1 scrap every 3-4 days. Anyone wants to do some maths to predict how much they will be on December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanyellDayLoois Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 If they were to drop, let's say, 1 scrap every 3 days for the next four months, from 15th August up until 15th December, and the current price is 7.55... ...by the time we reach 15th December, the price will be 2.88 ref.

IceFox Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 There's a good reason they are dropping. People are scared they're going to get rid of them. Dota 2 keys will be exterminated come 2015. TF2 fanboys are scared it'll be the same way for TF2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomato juice Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 According to bp.tf... Refined metal is priced at $0.24-0.25. Keys are priced at $7.33-7.44. That makes 1 key worth... According to the sourceop forums... http://forums.sourceop.com/forums/32-TF2-Item-Trading-Buying-Selling Keys are frequently bought and sold at around $1.80. Alright so this is the part that gets interesting. I had initially suspected that the key would stabilize around 7.33 ref, since right now the prices of ref, keys and their respective worth in USD fit perfectly. However, the price drop of keys in refined metal doesn't seem like it's slowing down. This is probably due to the lack of traders that use paypal and actual money in trading. So what's going to happen? If this trend continues, the price of keys in ref will drop below the price of keys in real money. Is the price of keys going to suddenly start stabilizing? After months of steady decline, is the price of metal going to start going back up? My guess is that keys will keep going down in ref, until more and more smart people start capitalizing on buying metal for real money, using that metal to buy cheap keys, then selling the key back for real money. This is what we call arbitrage. However, economy theory tells us that the prices will eventually stabilize back again. If you want to read more about it, here's an old (but interesting) and pretty easy to understand article. http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/economics/arbitrage-and-equilibrium-in-the-team-fortress-2-economy/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntbol Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 The keys have begun to slow down. I believe they will get to 6.66 and then raise again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
