Jamesheaton Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I have about 17 keys in metal and I was wondering what I should start trading. I'm tired of small increments of margin. Unusuals, festives, taunts? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DejaQ Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Start quickbuying unusuals. I had some success with trades like this. http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/26329553 I would buy the hats for 7 keys then sell them to other traders like these. http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/26419015 http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/26605552 Small profit but whatever. For larger amounts of profit I use trades like these. http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/26328453 I then create my own trades to sell the hats. http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/26814803 The two hats above were bought for a combined total of about 40 keys. You can get some pretty sweet deals with patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin the Chicken God Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Everything >10 ref in price. Of course you won't earn much if you deal with craft hats ignore this, if you have a decent amount of ref (which I see you do), flipping stock stranges or genuines on the side of doing larger key trades can make it so that you're consistently flipping for a profit and restocking pure, and can quickly give you pure that doesn't take much effort and isn't a very competitive market. Unusual quickbuying trades can work if you're patient, I'd recommend fixed prices though because just asking for 'quicksells' is really up to the seller and the buyer both having the same idea, whereas having firm prices means that they agree to your price and you're happy with what you pay. The only other thing I can think of is quickbuying a low tier and selling it for full price on SCM, to get yourself some SCM funds, then using the remaining keys to quickbuy any unusual for 7 keys or whatever. SCM trading can be insanely profitable if you have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomasson Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 buy my virginity And what is he gonna do with the remaining 15 keys and 15 ref? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzeye Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I would suggest starting by buying taunts/more expensive cosmetics that are in demand, and create quick buying threads. And never, NEVER be scared to accept item overpay because that's how you make profit in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin the Chicken God Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Yet i have a tarde buying for 8 keys and no one adds or sends offer probably because it's only been up for a 2 days and hasnt been bumped in a day. 8 keys is almost full price for a bunch of unusuals.
