Christley </3 Peelz Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 i flipped anything that was stable and i knew could get profit. i wasnt afraid to take items, again if they were stable. i still do, but in so much less portion. i only deal with unusuals now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woifi The Viking Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 So, I am sure topics like this have been made. But I was wondering what you guys with unusuals how you made your money. Right now my main goal is to get an unusual (preferably for soldier) and those are expensive. So if you have any tips on what you did to get yours please leave them below. Merged.

polar Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Either using money to get a start...or sharking Real money most of the time.. It's very rare that people with $1000+ bp's have traded their way to the top these days.. I'm with Awesome and a bunch of the other people here. I have never spent a dime. Traded my way up in 8 months. And the only "shark" I can think of doing was paying 1.4 pure for a 3.5 bud unusual when the new effects were released and people didn't know their value. Just know your prices and trading is easy. why isn't this a full time job for you? Cause I make more in real life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Gillard the Honest Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Cause I make more in real life? This is definitely the easiest and happiest way to get wealth in TF2! No dealing with certain types of you-know-what kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true, not sure about other countries but even on our minimum wage 16/hr you basically get a bud every 2 hrs (not to mention holiday x2 ...etc) and looks good on your cv. Dont really get those real serious traders treating trading supah serious :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 the fuck do you live that minimum wage is $16...... Derpeh is from New South Wales, Australia according to his Steam profile. National minimum wage for adults Currently the full-time minimum wage is $16.37 per hour or $622.20 per week. This means that most employees in the national system shouldn't get less than this.

naknak Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 even thought im making some profit on this tf2 madness. i still dont see it being worthwhile. My bp is too big to manage, just not enough resource to trade that much. The next critical size to be self-sustainable would be to set up tf2shop or scrap.tf equivalent scales and bots. Apart from the websites, I suspect that the only traders making a living at it (by honest means) are located somewhere where $800 USD/month is a good wage. I put this very question to someone that did a lot of money trades: Q: Would you say $800/mo is an achieveable income from trading, month-in and month-out? A: "It's a lot tougher now than it was before. The market screwed up a lot of things for us (I used to be able to flip thousands of keys a day for a few cents profit each). Some of the bigger players I know still make something around that (I don't know specifics), but for the average person they'd probably be looking at a lot less." "tl;dr - it's certainly possible, but I wouldn't expect anybody new to ever get that." i just cant figure those new unusuals out, im so bad at it. perhaps im not taking enough risk "Risk" might be strong word. If a new effect looks like sparkly confetti, and you pay 1.5x regular confetti price, you're going to make profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iris★ Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 You need to have a mentality to rip people off, make good trades, being selfish, etc. You don't raffle, you don't give items away, you just hoard and make more and more profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
