I imagine they're more curious about why the price has dropped about 25% in the last day or two.

EDIT - Though they seem to be trading at normal values, so I have to wonder if it's just the price history that's screwed up?

probably because valve has forced a bunch of people to buy new systems and they're playing newer games to test them out and therefore not interested in spending money on TF2 keys?

or have just moved to epic games...

You and your conspiracy theories

The reason is that people use TF2 keys for trading and currently more people are selling their keys so they have wallet for the upcoming sale next week. This happens with all Steam items on the market, they drop down in price prior to sales and climb slowly again after a sale has ended.

well if they're flipping their keys around on the market giving valve a cut each time they kinda bad at what they doing... especially considering last I checked you could directly trade TF2 keys for games at a better rate.

I think he means the big price drop that happened earlier today. Now it's back to normal.

Maybe a hoarder finally decided to dump their massive stash ?

Well over 230,000 sold in the last 24h, which is way higher than normal volume.
