Novian Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I have a bunch of prof/spec killstreak kits im trying to sell for the best price so QS or scrap.tf is not an option. Trying to sell them on outpost or bp.tf has yielded no results unless you lower the price absurdly. When you try to sell them on marketplace.tf theres always the guy selling his for 1 cent lower than yours. Steam community market takes a huge cut and I cant cash out to paypal that way. So how the heck do you mvm players around here sell your kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the time wasted in trying to sell kits through trading is far more costly than the cut the steam market takes. Don't think about this in just cuts and prices, also think about opportunity cost. I can sell three kits on the steam market in the same time it would take me to sell one through trading in half the time. Not only am I making more flips, I am taking much less time which can be used for other stuff which is where opportunity cost. What else could you be doing in that time instead of buying and selling one kit, that would be selling 6 kits through the steam market. In regards to cashing out, invest in items that have good resell value on marketplace. That one week time you have to wait for tradability doesn't matter as long as you have free capital (keys) you can be using for other trades. Credentials: Have sold 100s of specialized and professional kits while making thousands of dollars in the process that I've cashed out through marketplace. I primarily rely on the steam market while using automated sites like scrap tf for the robot parts to make these kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I get this right: sell kits on the community market buy keys and cash out in a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
