Keys arent 1.65 dollars
metal isnt 70 cents max
Don't buy from Mann Co. People sell keys and refined on SourceOp for real money (you PayPal it to the seller) for way cheaper than it costs to buy from Mann Co.

These people buy their keys from other people using metal, and then sell the keys for money. Because they're selling for cheaper than Mann Co, people are more likely to give their money to these resellers, and the resellers are making a 100% profit, since they're not spending real money at all to get the keys.

It's genius, really.
 
Why are you telling people to buy and sell on sourceop when there are plenty of key and refined sellers here?
You make a perfectly valid point and I have no legitimate argument. I guess I forgot that people do that here, as well.
 
The Sourceop forum is outdated. The original owner was never as involved in trading as much as I was, and doesn't even manage it anymore since he works at Valve now.

That's why I started this trade forum.

I'll admit, I'm a bit ignorant in this history of the community. I'd love to read the story.
