Makes sense. So in that case, the price will keep on rising untill people will actually buy more keys from the Mann store and not from other people.

I was told that the price was going up since Halloween 12' because people were uncrating a sh*t load amount of crates. I was also told that the price should have been stabilized by now, but as we can all see, they are keep rising.
I was partially reading the comments here: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7135900
That guy called Paranoid android claims that the value of metal is going down, thus it takes more metal to equal a key. A few comments contradict this statement saying that most of the items which are being bought and sold by metal should have go up in price (as in paying more metal for them).
I wasnt reading the whole thing. All i want is just another point of view with what is causing the price of keys to constantly go up (bp.tf voters)? And how to stop it (if possible at all)?

None of them are duped. If tf2items cant give u the proof, u can always try backpack.tf:

Barnstormer: http://backpack.tf/item/1421092714
Minigun: http://backpack.tf/item/1432946268
BMOC: http://backpack.tf/item/639929041

A duped item will have a bold red headline stating 'this item is duped'.

Hope i was helpful. :P

Lol yea. i was just saying 'thanks' like a demoman.

I DIDNT NEED YOUR HELP, U KNOW.

On the search page, there is that green '+' icon which gives me advanced search options, like searching specific color, effect, etc. But some of the options there like series, craft # and level # only gives 'matching...' message which doesnt really do something.
So whats the point of this 'matching' thing and is it possible that in the future we could search for specific lvls, series, etc? I currently have to switch to tf2tp in order to search for specific crate series.. :/

Ok so this is really strange..

I switched to my alt sf sandvich and since then the problem was fixed. Everytime i ate it went up +1, so i switched back to the glitched sandvich and its still okay now. WTF just happened? Did i refresh something?

P.S - The counter goes up while in game. no need to exit and re-enter the game.

Nop. servers were constantly 32/32 and i was nomming only while injured, not bite after bite, didnt try to abuse it with fast spawn sandvich either. i just played like i always play. Before i will contact steam about this, i have 2 more sf sandviches in my bp, i will try using them to see if my current sandvich is somehow glitched. I will post here my final results.

I'm aware of that. And its still not making sense. Its still not answering why after that amount of 'noms' i have around 8 'food items eaten' and not something like 70+ .

thanks for the clarification.
