The Merchant Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 1 key, 5 ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Buy craftable hats at 1-1.11 ref each and sell for 1.22-1.33 each. Buy stranges at low prices and sell for a bit higher. Try to stay away from paying extra for paints, killstreaks, and parts on items. Never pay extra for items with name tags or desc tag on them. Don't unbox. Scrapbank. Try not to place all of your metal/items in buying 1 item for cheap. It will mean you have to sell that item before you can buy anything else. Profit will be slow with such little starting metal/items, but it will pick up. I would recommend the backpack.tf automatic if you're willing, it works quite well.

Chilled Soda Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 So what I'm doing is selling a bunch of my "more valuable" items and going to take that and start scrapbanking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zcrab Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Give it all to me. 1 key, 5 ref. Who forgot to lock the door at The Great Below? This is a serious topic and your "jokes" aren't funny, they're just annoying. In fact it's annoying to see people like you two who are just beings dicks against someone who asked kindly for help. As for an advice then just make a trade where you buy some items for under backpack.tf price, the amount of discount you'll buy them for depends on the items value. If it's under 2 Refined 1 Rec is enough, if it's under 9 Refined 2 or 3 Reclaimed would be enough and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duablo Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Buy killstreak, strangifiers and apply them -> might give small profit. Spot quicksells - resell. Check both prices - SCM and general market like bp.tf, any differences might make you some profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And alright, what I am doing is buying stranges for 1-1.22 ref, selling them for 1.33-1.66 ref, so far working out. Also buying weapons for half a scrap each and selling for a scrap each, working out well so far. And buying craft hats for 1-1.22 ref and selling for 1.33-1.66. Thanks everyone.

Chilled Soda Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 ok another question, I have a "Non-Tradeable Unusual Headless Horsemans Headtaker". When it is tradeable, it is worth 4 keys. If I use gift-wrap, I can trade it, but will it still be worth 4 keys?/Me buying the gift wrap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 SCM? Steam Community Market. ok another question, I have a "Non-Tradeable Unusual Headless Horsemans Headtaker". When it is tradeable, it is worth 4 keys. If I use gift-wrap, I can trade it, but will it still be worth 4 keys?/Me buying the gift wrap? Backpack.tf price is only 2 refined for the non-tradable version, but I don't see any current seller below 1 key. I highly doubt you will get more than 1 key assuming they provide the wrap.

Carnage Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Is it still worth selling? (1 Key seems like it is for me) It will take some time to sell and it would probably be for below a key. If you do get a buyer that is willing to provide a wrap, you'll probably need to give them some collateral as well for the wrap. Then trade it back during the final trade.

Chilled Soda Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Ok so far I am up to 2 keys and still about another 3 keys in items waiting to sell. I somehow managed to get a Galvanized Gibus with some paint on it, got it for a key. Was a mistake I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixenzo Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Buy killstreak, strangifiers and apply them -> might give small profit. NEVER apply ks kits to a weapon to "sell for more". Unless it's a Pro ks on a most expensive quality of the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gren Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Buy killstreak, strangifiers and apply them -> might give small profit. This is some of the worst advice possible. There is no paint, strangifier or killstreak kit that maintains its value, let alone increases in value when it's applied. E.g. Black Paint costs 2 Keys 3 Ref. Apply it to a misc worth 5 Ref. Now it's going to be very tough to find anyone who'd be willing to pay even 2 keys for that misc. So you almost lost a key here. The same goes for killstreak stuff and strange parts. Never apply these unless you plan on keeping the item for personal use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilled Soda Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Ok so I did a spy crab of 1 key, lost, steam wasnt working so I couldn't trade (People can verify), and I got reported, the kid went and got 2 of his friends to report me, and then he deleted me and now he isn't adding me back. Got 2 negative ratings, will this affect me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got 2 negative ratings, will this affect me? First, don't spy crab. That is a good way to lose money. The negative ratings show no proof of anything they are claiming so you could probably report the ratings and get them removed. Do you have proof that the person has blocked you or that Steam wasn't working at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you ask for advice on how to increase your backpack value, forum members actually give you serious advice, and you in turn go and gamble 20% of your networth away. You should try unboxing next :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
