I'm thinking about adding an option for Tf2 keys for the games that I trade. Looking at this page it seems the price of a key is currently around $2.5. I assume that for a game which is sold at this price asking for one Tf2 key is too much to ask, but what is considered fair? A game which is sold at $5? $7?

Thanks!

A single Tf2 key is worth a game that costs approximately:

it's not only on the market, the in-game keys are usually raising as well and traders that dont have the games installed will pay more for the market keys

That's not possible since the store price and trading price for each game is different, but for any trader out there a TF2 key is worth $1,80 at most , so if a game is worth about $3,60 for a trader (meaning that's what he's hoping to get for it) he will ask for 2 keys.

It really depends on a trade by trade basis ... but most people will value a key on less then 2$.

It also depends on the currency. A TF2 key is worth around 1.80 USD (American dollars) or 7.80 BRL (Brazilian reais), stated that 1.80 USD = 5.58 BRL, it would be worther selling in the market in this currency.

It really depends on whether or not the game has been bundles (or if it ever will be). Like if the game will never go below a certain price and never be bundled (Say CS:GO at $7:50ish) then the key price will = sale price (CS:GO = 3 TF2 keys). Plenty of games in the $5-20 range also get over bundled and the key price of these games essentially becomes shot. Further complicating this matter is that key prices are about 70 cents cheaper on the Paypal black market. As a small time trader, I personally demand multiple games if I'm trading a key since I want maximum return on value. This means that I'm generally trading for bundled games only.

Thanks for all the replies. I have to say the poll results are really odd, with the two extremes ($3 and $10) getting the vast majority of votes...

because there is nothing like what you ask, it's subjective question. a TF2 key is a valued at like 1.8$-2$, sell price, if a game costs 5$, then this will be 3 keys, but there is bundles, previous cheaper prices from sales, cheaper prices on other sites, etc, that make this vary a lot.
