The next update

[Nicholas Smith]

So in general, we use Backpack.tf prices, to cost things, but I'm planning on buying about 20 of the new keys and trading them ASAP. I have no idea what to cost them at.

I mean the period between the first drop and the keys is already the longest gap of all the special crates (see thread here-http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/1dvzrr/") so there will be more crates (and so more people? looking to buy.)

So that I don't piss off the powers-that-be I'm taking suggestions at what to price them at on the day of release.

My personal opinion is that the new Robo Keys are going to kill the economy.
In past events, the 'special' Keys have always costs 2x the price of a Regular Key.
Then as the end of the event drew closer, it was always say 1 Key + 2 Refined, and then gradually went down from there until the event ended.

That being said, Regular Keys have never been 5+ refined before.
It wont take long for people to realise just how ridiculous it is to buy a Robo Key at 10+ refined when it costs exactly the same as a Regular Key.

Hopefully, Key prices will start to normalise with the new update.
If not, then TF2 traders are more dumb than I originally thought...
