Not gonna lie, trading non Halloween or rare unusuals is kinda aids due to the amount of bots but it’s definitely still possible to profit with 50 keys; whether or not it’s worth your time is another question though.

It's aids because unlike old Halloween/Robo/Frostbite unusuals you can't just buy it for full B/O price then re-list it for 50% more than you paid for it and expect it to actually sell after a few months because "omg it's limited and god tier get it while it now before it's gone!"

unless you can outright afford a halloween or robo effect hat with no other sellers, no

Im not saying thats the only way to make profit, but low tier unusual trading is just really sad right now

YES. With 50 keys and patience getting some good profit won't be hard, especially considering that you have some basic idea of trading.

Don't let people tell you that "Hurr durr nowadays only halloweens are profitable!!11!" Yes they are profitable but it takes lots of time to sell them most of the time. You can do absolutely fine without them. Besides, finding a halloween for a reasonable price is like finding a needle in a haystack, unless you're pulling up with the oddfuture's strategy borderline sharking halloweens from non-traders.
Even if you'll get discouraged from unusual trading after some time, 50 keys is more than enough to start trading with spells or with unusual weapons etc.

Absolutely worth the time - made 200 keys profit off a 50 key buy order once.

I started with 11 keys a bit over a month ago and now I'm at 44 keys. Idk if that is that great considering how much time I spent trading, but it shows low tier trading is still profitable...

Trading can snowball, in the sense that the more you have the easier it is to make profit, if Hoovy was able to make 33 keys in profit in little over a month starting at 11, imagine how much you might be able to make in that same span of time with 50.
