Done.

Done. Now what should I do? What should I buy and where to sell?

[Francisco112]

well, i actually put the same quantity into the game and from experience i recommend you participate in some auctions in scrap.tf sometimes you can found some very good items at very low initial price.

you can also try to buy quicksells but in some items can be difficult to found an enough gap between sellers and buyers unles is a vey specific, also remmeber that in case a weapons have good parts you can sell it for more that the price of the strange weapons without parts.

you can also try other sites apart from backpack.tf, like bazaard.tf, discord or some trade servers.

If your trying to start making profit off of 3 keys

don't bother

the amount of time you invest into it isn't worth the return you'll get. 

At minimum you'd probably need 10-20 keys to start trading for profit and even then you'll need a good understanding of the market.

do your own research, look at trading guides, and honestly just jump in. If you lose shit, its barely a couple dollars. And if you make money, good for ya!

You do not begin. You continue.

Understood. But even if i buy the minimum of 10 keys, how should i start? And also, where can I inform myself more about the market?
