Should I sell my keys?

[guy]

Frankly, I don't know **** about the tf2 trading economy. I was told that I shouldn't sell my keys?

9? Why does that matter?

[Brxndon Cosplay]

Don't sell them. Keys have manipulative prices, and if you sell one, who knows. For all you know, you could be selling them for 5 ref underpriced when the near future arrives!

Plus, you've got 9 keys. You could quickbuy an unusual!

dont sell them, trade them for something higher up, like buds or unusuals (if you can afford them) or just use them for unboxing crates

Get 5 more then get a Robo-Sandvich.
Impress the ladies.

dont buy buds, that have crashed to hard.

if you want buds wait ro see if they start going back up

I wouldn't trade too many yet,maybe try your luck once with the new crate 92,the strange CaD is worth over 2 keys 0.o

You could probably sell them off on the SCM and buy games when the Summer Sales kick in on Steam.

Save up. Or sell them if you have no interest in trading.

You may want to save them. The key prices are falling down the stairs (I just made up this metaphor and I'm proud) at the moment, and last time this happened they went back up and to record price, so just wait till they go back up then sell.

I used to sell for pure refined, but I discovered their good for bulk buying, people can just give you change in ref in return if you overpay with a key. Currenty they are worth like 17 ref (they've finally started to go down, omg.) so like think refined as $1.

you have 1 ref you have $1 of tf2 currency. The reclaimed and scrap act as a sort of cents system, so many cents make a dollar just like so many scrap make a reclaimed then ref, but I find them too confusing and ignore them so fyi trade with me I'll always overpay a little.

Anyway, say you have 10 refined. at a $1 each you have $10. Say keys were worth $10, (which they were at one point, man I used to sell a key for 8 ref!, eco is ♥♥♥♥ rn.) having a key is the same as having a $10 bill over a $1 bill (or as we have in Canada, a loonie.)

Right now buying stuff with a key is like giving someone a $17 dollar bill. I mean you can sell them if you want, but again if the price changes you key could be worth more or it could be worth less, I'd advise selling before the price drops again, and only hold onto them when it's on the rise.

Edit: I was only using the $1 thing as a unit to give you an example, ref is actually worth like 11-12 cents irl money.

if keys are falling down the stairs buds fell ( more like got pushed by bible.tf) out a 10 story window

[chiperino]

Key Prices are going down, so yeah

Never sell keys.
At the moment there is significant panic with idiots selling keys cheaper and cheaper, for some reason.
Why people would want ref instead of keys with actual value I may never understand.

The value of keys relative to ref will inevitably rise anyways.
If anything, people with ref should buy as many keys as they can now.

Congratulations. You dropped an ice cube in the water and said you're helping climate change.
