Echo♥ Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 So I've gotten back into tf2 (for like the 9th time now) and was wondering if anyone had some tips on trading and gaining profit. I'm no newcomer to trading by any means but seeing as tf2outpost has shut down, I was wondering if there were any other major changes to the trading landscape i should be aware of/look out for. Plus any tips would be a welcome to any newcomer who sees this thread. (thanks in advance!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crescendo Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 This depends on what you're talking about. Are you specifically talking about unusual trading or non-unusual trading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajdislikesyournamingpolicy Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 This is daily remainder to add unboxers... Nah I mean to trade you have to invest, no easy way around that. Either it's the grind to make like 20$ in like half a year or investing 20$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adolf Storms Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 You know who doesn't buy unusual weapons? Profit whores who don't play the game and only trade everytime they're online lol. That's terrible advice to not buy unusual weapons. I usually take them when offered, because they usually sell for pure. They don't sell fast, but always sell well. Just sold an Isotope flower revolver 33 keys scm funds a couple days ago. It does take some experience knowing what people will and won't buy, but unusual weapons have been one of the biggest sources of 'pure' in my unusual trades. Mind you I only buy what I'm going to use, and then enjoy the weapons while I have them ( I don't trade much really ). Ya it's not a quick-flip game if you're only interested in flippin shite. for low-tier stuff, trading is mostly done by bots. buy yourself one and throw a few hundred ref into it. hard to make small profits unless you offer insta-trades any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo♥ Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 What about tips on non-unusual trading? What are the easy ways to make profit through non-unusual cosmetics and item trading? Back when I was doing my normal grind there was a website that would sell for about .11-.1.00 under backpack price so I would invest all my pure in items that were generally well desired (team captains, trouble makers, that sort of thing) and then sell them at exact back pack price. Wasn't the quickest way but I'm a busy man and sitting on items is totes fine with me, I got my bills hat that way (which was worth way more than it is now) and some other nice items.

I think it's pretty agreed upon that unless you invest in a large bot to do small item trading for you that it's nigh impossible to get into that area since your profits from those items are going to be around a scrap for each trade. It would be more profitable to go outside, find some cans, and go recycle them for 5 cents (at least in my state). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KERPKEK Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Australiums are probably your best bet for non-unusual trading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo♥ Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Yeah trading bots seem to dominate the classified section on BP now. When I was trading they were still a relatively new thing. Seems like times have-a-changed again. Appreciate the help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
