Yes, I would say its actually kind of low now that the sale is over. Its definitely fair, its a really good deal right now. A quick check of Outpost shows prices in the 3-4 key range.

Are you the one selling or buying? If you can buy it for 2 keys, do it. Its the best price going right now. If you're selling, try for 3, most are selling around 3.5 - 4.

I'm selling. Even 4 tf2 keys would only get me 10 bucks.

Well then try for more, the problem is that the prices right now from the majority of traders are around 3.5 - 4 b/c the sale is over. You can easily sell it for 3, 4 would be tougher, and 5 would be close to impossible right now. The guys who bought craploads of copies during the sale will always have a better price than someone who has 1 or 2 copies of something and just wants to maximize profit.

2 is basically a steal right now.
3 is a good price.
4 is the majority going rate as you can find a bunch of people with that price.
5 is overpriced.

And it wouldnt even get you ten bucks. 4 keys sold on the market nets a seller 2.19 a piece if you put a 2.50 price on the keys. It would get you 8.76.

Oh. So the prices are low because people are selling the games they bought during the sale for profit?

Well yeah, theres lots of sellers who buy lots of copies of sale games, wait til the sale is over and then make their profit. If its the only thing you're trying to offload you're going to have a hard time competing with them.

Its only a 14.99 game to begin with. But its 346 rubles (about 10 bucks) in the Russian store. Its baseline is 4 w. the Russians.

Do you mind if I add you for advice on tf2 keys selling/buying?

Im not well versed enough to really give much advice about keys selling/buying. I would suggest buying keys for 1.90 a piece from someone on Steamtrades with high rep with Paypal. There's more than a few on there that are trustworthy. There's always someone selling for around that price. I dont really trade for profit. I trade to get games I want to play and shop for the lowest prices.

Same with me. I just want tf2 keys because a lot of people selling games on steamtrades only accept keys.

You're likely not going to see an increase regardless if you wait. Its only 346 rubles and is not region locked. That means the Russian traders will always have you beat. You're almost assuredly never going to get more than 4 for it.

So then buying it for $15 was a loss for me.

Buying ANY game on Steam at its price on there is almost always going to be a loss. I rarely if ever buy games directly from Steam anymore except during the big sales.

Its next to impossible to beat the Russians on prices for non-region locked games since their store is already cheaper than US Steam.

So how do I find out if a game is region locked or not. and where is this russian store

Here

Ignore the bit at the end about VPN/Proxy. I would not suggest anyone not from Russia to buy from the Russian store. Just find a Russian trader on ST. Just search for "Russia" lol and you'll find more than a few.

Most (good/trustworthy) Russian traders won't sell you a region locked game anyway since the gift itself is tagged.

I see. So I should just buy games from Russian traders with keys?

Its not that cut and dry. Buy from whomever you can get the best price from. Sometimes its a Russian, sometimes its not. You just have to look around. But 99.9% of the time it will be for keys.

If a game is region locked, the key price may be even more than the US store, so you have to look around.

try steamprices - you can compare prices of game in different regions

Steamprices works, or install Enhanced Steam, and you pull up the game's store page in your browser and hover your mouse over the little globe next to the price and it gives you the price in every region.

Oh, thought you were the one buying. Try selling it for 3 TF2 Keys like Zerba said or you can increase the price a little if you're patient.

What you probably ask is if it's SAFE or is he making a cheap deal just to chargeback and leave you with nothing in the future - quick glance at Russian Store says that if he bought 4pack with at last -50% then he can be on profit side if he'll get 2 keys for it.
