Anubisgod Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hey guys, first post here so I'll see how it goes I have been trading for about 1.5-2 years and a couple of days ago, I thought "Why not try brokering?". Seemed like something I would enjoy doing as I only have 2 unusuals and like 6 pure atm. P.S. My unusuals are a ghost antlers + burning lucha (~60-70 together) so just putting a sort of value out there to show Im trustable at least with low tiers. So the question I wanted to ask is, "How does one get customers as a broker?" "How much fees are expected to be paid as a %" and "Where should I advertise my services?". I would love if any experienced ex or current brokers could give me advice on how to start off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main question is how do I get customers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to get customers, just look for other brokerers or people looking for brokers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scout608 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'd recommend you try brokering for a few friends of yours, just to get a feel for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skillful_Mercenary Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I broker for friends or even people I just meet. Its all about trust once you have that with a person, and you show that you are true to your word you will be fine. Also i dont usually set a price. If i did i would base it off the time it took me to sell, and how much i got as well as how hard whatever your selling is to sell. Obviously a low tier unusual is easier to sell then a pro ks collectors flying guillotine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubisgod Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Why broker? Quickbuying is much safer and more profitable Why not both? To broker the only thing needed to be invested is time. If you are a basement dweller like myself, time is plentiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
