SteamTrading Question

1 key - 1.89$ aprox according to backpack. Tf
5 key - 9$ aprox

Yeah, I would say so.

The cheapest you can buy a key is around $1.80, and no one is going to offer you keys at cost. You have to find a seller.

$1 per key is significantly less than they usually sell for. If someone actually agrees to that offer, there's like a 99% chance they intend to scam you, either directly (not giving you the keys after you pay them) or indirectly (selling you stolen keys that will get revoked later on).

Best way to find pricing is to search for other trades and find ones that have had recent trading.

OK, I just got this guy on TF2Outpost willing to sell $1.5 for each key. Scammer or not?

lol

This is a useful resource if you're getting into Key trading. One thing to note though is that you've entered key trading at the worst possible time. The value of keys in US dollars had been static/low for quite some time but has spiked tremendously in the last couple months. Keys are $1.80+ at the moment.

(By "worst possible time" I mean within this year. Prices have been worse)
