Prices Messed?

[Mofoswaginess]

Being with scrap.tf for more then a year, I've really enjoyed my time here and the services they provide. But there's just one minor thing I can't stand, And that's the killstreak item prices / Strange items / cosmetics with strange parts aren't always to what Backpack.tf says. It's understandable that you guys need profits so you guys use the concept of "Buying Low and Selling High" but some item's prices are just ridiculous. A KS Spycircle worth 12 Ref (Sources : Bp.tf) can be sold to the strange bot for just 5.77 now that's just very bad lowballing, it's more then half of it's price.

 

Do try fixing the prices and always consider item's total value including parts since I wouldn't wanna be lowballed that badly here.

backpack.tf prices for killstreak items are taken from the Steam Community Market. Additionally, as stated on backpack.tf, and by its staff, it is a pricing GUIDE not meant to be taken at face value blindly. If you do not like the prices of scrap.tf then you do not have to sell to them. You can list the item on a trading site or on the Steam Community Market. Killstreak items are often less desired because its a fairly niche market, especially when you get into sheens and killstreakers which many users may not want to pay extra to have on their item(s). Therefore if scrap.tf is to make any reliable profit from killstreak items they have to purchase for less than backpack.tf suggests in order to consider keeping the service.

 

Please take some of my statements regarding scrap.tf's reasoning with caution as I am not a staff member and made educated assumptions.
