Bakgrund Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hey, I have now bought every hat i want (except unusuals), invested all my keys in strange holiday punches which i believe will rise, sold everything i want to get rid of... What comes next? Should i buy a 20€ steam card and buy a few keys and get into unusual trading, or what? And isn't it hard to make profit of unusual trading? I feel that there's nothing more to do. I appreciate your ideas, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel safer with buying keys directly on Steam, and i am not 18 yet, so no paypal for me unfortunately. Want to share your business secret?

Want to share your business secret? There are plenty of people who use paypal who are under 18, just lie about your age. And buying keys from SOP is perfectly safe, just use a MM or find someone with a lot of rep. http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/395-how-to-guide-to-paypal-trading/ My secret: buy low, sell high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeMcCoolName Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 >"secret" >autpost motto hehe but seriously, theres a difference between buying at 75% off and 30-50% off. And much more than 30% off isn't realistic unless trading with you has some other extra value (i.e. security). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like people who buy keys from the shop & people who buy keys of of paypal Shop: safe more expencive Paypal: Cheaper less-safe its what you value more; price or security.

Bakgrund Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Buy a bud PayPal. Start from there and work up. That's what i thought, is there any sellers who accept google wallet or is it paypal all the way? What's up with neons and baby face. It was just a fun project buying them, and also, bad stranges usually rise a bit when the crate has stopped dropping (just look at the half zatoichi). In a year, they'll probably be more than a scrap each. I have over 1000 bp slots so that doesn't matter really.

Bakgrund Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 I now see that marketplace.tf has lower prices than tf2shop.net, and trusted sellers aaand supports google wallet which i like more than paypal. Is $34 a fair price per earbud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakgrund Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yes if you want to pay with Google Wallet. Okey, i'll probably buy a bud or two and go get my first unusual.

Riksdagen Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 AwesomeMcCoolName has a point. Only trade for old effects if you are new at unusuals trading. New effects will lose value and they are hard to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So old effects like nuts and bolts won't be dropping anymore? Would an all-class nuts and bolts be a good first hat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 So old effects like nuts and bolts won't be dropping anymore? Would an all-class nuts and bolts be a good first hat? Well, NB isn't considered an old effect, its considered a 2nd Gen effect. And for the most part, they've stabilizied, although they are still losing value over time as more get unboxed, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional Map Painter Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Low tiers are usually much easier to sell than more expensive unusuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakgrund Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks for your help everyone, i'll buy a bud or two and get into unusual trading, will take some time to learn the best tricks. Is there any good guides/videos out there explaining unusual trading more in-depth? Not the videos about "ya you wanna go to trade server and advertise your highballs and ya glhf".

There really are no tricks. Buy low, put it up on Outpost, wait for a good offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
