Hey! welcome!

I kinda decided to start with a guide showing you how I made my profit on trading and how you can do the same!!

First way of profit :

If you have keys in your inventory:key_platro:. go off and start buying quicksells!! (e.g. 10 keys for a 14 key hat) then resell that hat for 12 keys (2 key profit already)

You can use all kinds of different sites to make profit from : scrap.tf,backpack.tf,TF2outposts,Bazaar.tf and much more!

How long would it take me to trade from 10 keys up to the value of your inventory? (2000 keys)

Well, i traded up for around 7 months. it took a while and i was focused of trading more than anything!

Patience is the key to everything! :bolt:

"awh, what happends if i dont even have keys? :("

Awh, you can always scrap bank, or buy trading cards for a scrap or whatever price you want to pay for profit wise. just buy discounts and make sure to try your hardest to sell them for full price or as close as you can!

Does dupes matter :

Depending on the range of a price, if the hat is 10-50 keys then no, it shouldn't matter at all. their is a few traders that can't bare duplicates.

But from 70-100+ then yes, it kinda matters. and can be bought and sold for a low price than what it is worth!

"Do you think gifted matters?"

Not anymore, back in 2014 yes. but since you can wipe off the tag. it would not matter anymore. not for high tiers or any type.

"What is the best gen of TF2 effects to get specificly?"

Well, I would say 1st,2nd, and then ofc the halloween unusual effects, but imo. none really count. i dont care what effect i got given. 3rd gen is called to be "worst of all the gen effects" which i don't think so. cloud 9 looks cool.

"What if i see a cool unusual that has a suggestion to drop?!"

Then, i would stick away. unless your getting an amazing deal for like 50% off or whatever then its alright if your quick. because i've bought an unusual taunt for 50% in items. but was going to be suggested to drop 25%. so i went and sold it as quick as possible and i succeded :Like_Yellow:

"Which specific percent should I go for if i am buying an unusual qs?"

I would stick for around 30% and up, depending on the unusual. if its a duped high tier which has a suggestion to drop a load. then try to purchase as discounted as you could get. there are people quickselling unusuals because of the suggestion so buying them technically can ruin your chances as profit. plus, hats drop because they are purchased for a lot lower than what it is worth.:greenalert:

"Ooh, i see an unusual worth 80 selling for 70, shall i go purchase it?"

Not so fast! the unusual would need a good research. if its clean, the sellers. and if it has any suggestions to drop.

Even a 10 key discount isn't always an amazing great deal. it is 10 keys profit. however. the more pure you have, the more keys you could get from 1 trade for profit
