Emiralp Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hi, i got into TF2 trading appromixetaly a year ago. Everything was going well until i bought a Strange Killstreak Rocket Launcher with spells "Exorcism" and "Pumpkin Bombs" spell. I bought it for 8 keys (i think) and i've been trying to sell it for 6 months. The problem is, no one wants to buy it! I don't want to sell it lower than 8 keys and it's literally the only thing i have other than metals. Because of that i can't profit or trade at all. I'm stuck, please help me.

You can't just accuse others for being a shark if you pay too much for their items, unless there's certain circumstances, for example when they lied about the item's value.

I was (still am) inexperienced so i didn't check his profile. When i asked for the price he told me that they are usually sold for 10 keys.

rndmchrs Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Then that's pretty much lying about the value, ye. https://backpack.tf/item/7964916762 @Diamond jozu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With such a backpack, i can definitely understand your desperation, thats crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earning them was already really hard. Sometimes taking a loss after a mistake is necessary in order to gain. In 6 months you couldve made toooons of more profit, than just 3 keys (again, for people like me, we can afford to wait for items to sell). For beginners, most of the time speed = profit.
