This trade is a win-win situation! Taking down ape traders!

[RussellSproutz]

Hello everyone! My name is Russell, but you can call me Russ!

 

My friend of approximately about a year and 1 month, dark^^ wanted a chance to get a triple nut set. I just so happened to have a 1 of 1 in the market Nuts n' Bolts Antlers.

 

I sold him my 1 of 5 Nuts n' Bolts Antlers that I paid about 484 keys in mix for an Arcana Firewall Helmet (recently priced suggestion at 550 keys), 1 of 2 Festive Lights Herald Helm (ongoing price at 100 keys), Vintage Killstreak Lugermorph (~11 keys), 2 keys pure, Hi-Five Taunt(Recently priced at 1.45 keys), Laugh Taunt(Recently priced at 2.7 keys), Rancho Relaxo Taunt (Recently priced at 1.4 keys), Taunt: Luxury Lounge (0.8 keys), Strange Festivized Killstreak Scottish Resistance(1.2 keys), Strange Killstreak Scattergun(recently priced at 1.2 keys), Strange Kill Streak Homewrecker (1 key), Strange Alpine Shotgun (Field-Tested) (0.8 keys) Unusual Holy Grail Deep Fried Desire(2 keys), Infernal Grip The Homerunner's Hobby(7 keys), Frosted Decadence Lawnmaker, and an mvm ticket (0.5 keys).

I had my listing for my Nuts n' Bolts Antlers at 2000 keys.

I'm glad that we both win! Thank you again, dark^^ for being a dear friend, and a fair trader too! I'm happy that he enjoys the set and he calls himself Nutty Dark^^ now! It's cool that he is playing the part too! He also decided that he won't sell either and he wants to keep it in his inventory unless for a price he can't refuse like a Gpan for the entire set, which is of course a joke. Still cool he enjoys his new item and accomplished a dream of his! Not to mention, all class miscs are on the rise and have really excellent stability. Having an excellent combo like triple nuts is an amazing set to behold. I can attest as I have had a Nuts n' Bolts Virtual ViewFinder, which I sold for 600 in pure and Aussies, and the Nuts n' Bolts Antlers for a 2500 keys in mix. Nonetheless, I'm just happy that I played a pivotal part for my dear friend, Nutty Dark!

 

In conclusion, the lesson here is that most ape traders rather rob and accumulate from others. I rather inform and negotiate to make a fair deal that leads to a compromise instead. It's not all about the profit, but how you impact people instead. At the end of the day, what is more fulfilling is when we both win!

 

Feedback welcome! Have a good one and May the 4th be with you (Star wars reference)!

I was an owner of a triple nuts all class set, so I understand his excitement. I'm glad dark^^ enjoys it too. He's a really good dude. At the end of the day, when both traders win by reaching a compromise that they both agree to. That's what really matters.

Wholesome Russell is something I wasn't expecting to see today.

I agree, STEVE! I believe it's a win for me and a win for my homie, Nutty Dark^^ as well. I'm actually in the process in price suggesting the items in question. Hopefully, they have usable sales. ^^ At the end of the day, it was a great trade for all parties!

I agree that Nuts n' Bolts is the godliest tier effect. I have a good friend, Goopy who still believes that. Simple, yet so pleasing to the eyes.
