TF2 key price rising?

1,73€ on the EU2 region.

2.26 USD atm

Last month and a half they'd been going for anywhere between 2.02 and 2.14, so yea, definitely rising a bit. Dota2 keys have been hovering at around 2.30 (2.31 currently) so they've held.

Are they still $2.49 in the US store?

$2.30 ($2.00 after fees) was the regular price before they dipped a while back.

Welcome to TF2..
You can still get keys for 1$- $1.50 with the right people, and buy packs

Well, few days ago were over 7000+ items for sale, now only 3900+ , that should be a factor

today has been a good day for replenishing my steam wallet back to the pre-summer sale amount. I'd expect that in a month or so when the fall sale hits it'll take another nosedive.

Oh, TF2 keys for 1.79€ on store.teamfortress.com/ for me in EU1, instead of 2€... but no idea when/why they changed the price.
Currently, it's 1.74€ for a key on the market.

I saw (or read on these forums rather) A guy who bought either 150 keys/crates to open live all at once or 300 (he was talking about 300 total of something and i'm almost sure it was 300 crates/keys to use all at once on A twitch video) of each. Now I would assume either one of those possiblities would make the prices rise as he more than likely bought the cheapest one avail everytime. Now he could have even bought them over time and not be the cause i'm not sure but A possibility none the less. I also remember reading comments about it and A few people was saying he had A gambling problem or something. But it could have even been for DOTA 2 but I don't think that game has crates/keys anyways, right?

I just don't understand why the rise just on the Brazilian store, that is unjustified if they don't rise on all regions, since our economy is weaker than some other countries (russia region as example) that price makes no sense, it's WAY better buying from the market instead of the Official store, before it was just a little better.

Yeah, they are very expensive at the moment...

Prices rebounded a bit around yesterday.

Yeah. It'll probably go lower in a few days, back to the usual market price.
I hope.

The TF2 market is one of the silliest forms of internet money-making / trading that I have ever seen.

a few days ago I bought a bunch of keys for 2.04 .. now its @ 2.27. If you look at the stats this is the highest its been since May.

Is this the stock market? Invest in... waffles, waffles, tasty waffles with maple syrup!

Loving the long awaited return to the $2.30 mark. The 30 or so keys I've hoarded since the Summer sale for dirt-cheap prices will come in handy for trades.

sold 5 keys for 2.37 usd. then during the steam autumn sale, will buy them back for 1.86 usd

Whoa.

Wasnt TF2 free on steam?

They bumped the brazilian TF2 Store key price, which controlled the market key price, since brazilian keys were the cheapest.

tl;dr It's probably not going down unless the russians want it. (they don't)

EDIT: Brazilian prices are only going to get worse because of the dollar, expect to see publishers rising prices.
