backpack.tf
What's with the pricing on this site?

I am trying to buy a strange sapper for 6 keys and I see people offering 8, 9, 10 keys or more...but it's worth 6 according to backpack.tf

I also notice anyone wanting to buy something = buying for "WAY LESS. FIRM"

Anyone selling = "WAY OVER PRICED DON"T OFFER LESS"

Anyone care to explain?

The never ending search for profit.
I always sell my stuff exactly what it's worth on backpack.tf at the time...even if it's the lower range of the prices (I'll pick 1.33 if it's worth 1.33-1.66)

The site is just a guide, you shouldn't follow it. Use your head.

Well - backpack.tf is not a law. It only displays statistics based on historical trades. It is a great guide and I always uses it myself in this way. ...
- I buys item at a lower price specified at backpack.tf
- I sells them at a higher price specified at backpack.tf

Of course we are talking about resonable pricediffers ... like trying to buy it for a scrap/reclaimed less then bp.tf and sell it for a scrap/reclaimed more then bp.tf says.

I think that backpack.tf monitors five TF2 trading sites and I also think that It is important that the market is kept free.
Conclusion: Use backpack.tf as a guideline and make your own decissions about the pricing!
price voting is often lagging behind real price.

Post trade for suggested price, if people add you then b.tf is right, it nobody add you then it's wrong.

You got something mixed up. backpack.tf does not monitor any trading site. The prices are based entirely on community suggestions, for which you can give your vote. In the end it is a site mod that decides to accept or deny a suggestion, based on the evidence provided and on the votes to some degree.

The sites that automatically monitor trading sites are tf2finance.com for bud and key prices or trade.tf.
