ksolis01 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Ok, so here's how I've been making profit with this game. I usually buy my items cheap from scrap.tf. Since all craft hats can be bought for 1.33 ref, you're making a profit after you sell it. I then put my items up for backpack.tf price. I would honestly like to learn how to start churning profit from craft hats or low end taunts. I already have close to a ton of refined metal for a key, I would love a few pointers on how to get some dosh. I personally don't have much experience in that area. However, when you get to two keys, I recommend crafting Killstreak fabricator to make kits. It cost a little less than half a key to make them not including the fabricator cost. You should be able to make three with those keys, and sell them for about an $0.80 profit. Personally, I use Killstreak.tf for some of my fabricator needs, and they don't charge extra for team shine which fetches a bit more as a Killstreak Kit.

SunriseM Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Not true, you can make profit off of buying cosmetics and stranges. Yeah ik, how you think i got all this. But is slow, you can get some ref, but thats nothing. I know im not going to be rich in seconds, but 1 key per week isnt enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R0CK_ Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I have obtained 3 keys from trading with cheap hats and stranges 1.33-10 and since the key prices are going up with minimal sellers i have no idea how to make profit from the keys besides key banking.Are there any other ways to make profit with keys+ref without unusual trading?

Cave Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 What am i supposed to do? I'm just new... And, i dunno what to do. I don't know if you're talking about items or unusual(s) but I'll go with unusual(s). Since that i started trading again sometime ago I discovered a great secret which has given me loads of profit (10k to 20k profit) And that's just from buying & selling unpriced unusual(s). For example, I currently have a Neutron Star Dark Falkrik unusual, I've gotten tons of offers already just by going on trade servers and such, I traded a Coupe D'Istaster It's a Secret to Everyone for it, I'm selling the unusual for 60k right now, and I already have an offer for 60k pure. So that's 7k profit if I price it from the low-end price. Now, a great tactic for selling unusual(s) is to get 1 out of 1's, you can do whatever you want with the price, lower it or rise it. With my experience, I almost get never contacted by somebody from TF2OP or Bazaar.tf, but I've gotten multiple offers on bp.tf for some of my item(s). I'm not saying TF2OP or Bazaar.tf is bad, but you need some attractive unusual(s) to get attention on those sites. Hope this helped you and sorry for any typo's. ksolis01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Keys and Buds Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Anyone remember when keys used to be 5.66 ref and earbuds used to be worth 25 keys? I do and now look at the eco it just shot into space and keys are now worth basically 29 ref because that's pretty much what everyone is selling it on tf2 outpost and buds are now worth 1.9 keys when they used to be worth 25 keys, those were the days when the eco was actually steady and worth something now it's just all fuckery and nonsense. Nothing makes sense in this eco anymore at least for me IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The paint is A Mann's Mint) Low value paints you can add maybe a scrap or two to the item it is. With higher value paints you can sell for a couple of ref extra.

Luminark Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 my main way of making profit is to buy a QS unusual with pure keys, and then 1:1 with australium ( hardest part ) and then sell the australium ! went up to over 80 keys pretty safely !
