NeoXenoZ Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Last time, I posted this topic here: Today, I now have a lot of keys and metal to trade with thanks to a friend that helped me by giving me a small loan of 15 keys. I'm just confused with what I would trade now, do I have to stay in unique item trading or move on to low tier unusual trading? I'm also confused why it takes so long to sell my Steaming Pugilist's Protector even though it's a cheap unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoovyBoard Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Steaming pugilist is a bad looking hat with a meh effect on heavy. If it sells I'll be surprised. I'd suggest just using 3-4 keys to normal trade your way up to another unusual. Leave those 12 other keys alone, experience is much more valuable than profit if you don't know what's going on.

trash Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 tbh you really need to grind in low tiers, it took over a month for me to get from 11 keys to 20~ in value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember that there's a reason why it's cheap. Namely, that you're dealing with a low-tier hat with a low-tier effect for a mid-popular class. One thing to keep in mind when trading unusuals is that doing straight flips for pure, while nicely profitable, isn't the most common path for success; It's all the tit-for-tat trading. Take advantage of sweets and item overpay to turn your hat into a different hat that someone would want to buy for pure. Sometimes you'll be the one providing extra, other times the other person will. And if you mess up and reach a dead end, you quicksell and ingrain the lesson of loss into you as you start over.

That's what I just did, I priced the Steaming Pugilist's Protector for 8.54 keys discounted but near market value when item overpay and it took me a few weeks to finally give up the hat and just quicksell for a refined loss.
