at the moment the now lost entry was written, keys were at ~5.44 refined, making that degreaser’s value 10.88 refined. items evaluated in keys, for example the strange degreaser which is worth 2 keys, are converted to refined on the fly using the current key to refined pricing. every decent trader is inherently familiar with the prices of common items such as “craft hats” (1.33 refined) or the name tag (2-2.11 refined). the currency they chose for everything (with 2 exceptions) was refined. You see, i’d have said, the people who designed backpack.tf had to store the value of all items in some sort of common currency. tools such as steamrep and sites, such as sourceop, where reputation threads exist to establish a tense but valuable trust.īut most importantly, i wanted to go back to backpack.tf which is (incorrectly) used much more than a guide and how that RL$ value is calculated and why you shouldn’t treat it as anything but a curiosity when evaluating the RL$ net worth of your virtual goods. It’s really a shame the entry was lost for i then followed with a list of the amazing sites and tools that have been created to help thwart this perilous task where someone has to trust an inherently untrustworthy, essentially virtual entity with tangible amounts of RL$. you won’t likely find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy - you must be cautious. if you have the courage to step into this larger world, i continued, take caution.
However, the entry went on, there does exist another market, a grey market, where virtual goods are exchanged for RL$. and how while that is absolutely safe, your money remains locked in your steam wallet.
this would have led me to mention how you can safely sell your items (or trade your items for sellable items) in the steam community market. The entry then would have recounted my conversation with a very good tf2 player and trader who recently cashed out the majority of their backpack to fund an interesting trip in the real world. that there is an obsession we have with seeing our net worth climb. Had the entry not been lost i’d have made a comment about how, just like in real life, the tf2 trader typically pursues growth. I wanted to talk about one of the most popular tf2 related websites, backpack.tf, and how one of the early unique features that made it stand out from every other site was the ability to evaluate the value of your backpack in RL$ (specifically USD).Īfterwards i’d have pointed to another clever feature of backpack.tf, their history of your virtual possessions which also allows the site to show you a value trend graph. It was going to mention how last week’s entry discussed the abstract value of virtual items in tf2 but this week we’d concentrate on the more practical value - one involving real world currency ( RL$ for the remainder of this entry) it went wonky so i rebooted it and bam lost an amazing, mind blowing, life changing article i was writing for this week’s entry. okay, actually my laptop ate my homework. Probability of unboxing an unusual by this week as it was in week 1? ~11.34% (probability today? 0.66%)Īpologies for the delayed post.
