TF2 | Low Tier Unusual Trading Guide

oh boy unusual trading congrats uh if you consider it a good thing I guess well uh anyway at this point it's pretty much the same idea you buy low sell high but you put a ton more effort into researching this time than you did before and if you mess up you have a way bigger loss than you did last time so congrats I guess all right well uh now that you hopefully got your big boy pants on let's uh let's get right into it quick disclaimer before getting started I am not a financial expert nor am I going to be 100% right all the time remember this is also meant for entertainment purposes do your own research do not rely on everything I say as fact thank you enjoy the video all right well before we get started Let's uh let's talk about some really important information that I should probably tell you before you know you get really invested in unusual trading all right so first of all most unusual prices on backpack.tf are outdated and have been for a long time do not take backpack.tf unusual prices as completely accurate because most of the time they are not backpack unusual prices are mostly a guideline at this point for what they have sold for in the past which can be pretty accurate or it may not be anymore so be careful while going forward when getting pricing help always do your own research there's too many dishonest people in the trading scene if possible get multiple opinions on an item's price then choose the average for example if someone prices your item at Four Keys another prices at five and another at six the average of your item will probably be around five Keys be very aware of red flags in scam attempts there can be offers that seem insanely good always triple check everything if something seems too good to be true then it probably is if you aren't sure seek out help from trusted people that you know just because someone has a lot of plus repon backpack does not mean they can be fully trusted there's been multiple cases of people with high plus reps going rogue stealing items then Vanishing with set items the link for this article will be found in the description if you want to read it for yourself it's kind of a long one there's good people but there's also a lot of bad people beware be cautious and be [Music] observant I'd honestly suggest was starting around 15ish key since he get some pretty uh they're okay some pretty okay unusuals with that to resell uh I would honestly skip unusual taunts unless you already know what you're doing unusual taunts can be very inconsistent so uh be careful when it comes to figuring out what unusuals are sellable you can either research players Histories on backpack.tf to see how much they've previously sold for or you can use this very simple rule look at the unusual and ask yourself would I unironically buy this does does this actually look good if you answered yes to both of those then it's probably a decent indicator That Others May think the same just be aware that unusuals take a lot longer to sell keep that in mind shut the hell up and just tell me where I can get these unus for cheap okay okay okay man Jesus oh my God didn't have to hurt my feelings like that feelings you think I care about your feelings this is unusual trading we don't give a flying about your feelings now tell me where I could buy and us for cheap or so help me God I will kill you I will kill you in the most brutal way possible I will literally gut you like a godamn fish shove that down youring throat and then fing just burn you a to find cheap unusual is to resell you can either join the backpack.tf Discord server and look for people advertising quick sells stock the listings on backpack and see if there's bot selling unusuals close to buy orders with little to no competition or you can just advertise buying quick cells like a loser [Music] after you buy your new unusual hat you can now list it on backpack.tf make sure you're open item offers since most don't offer Keys as much most will instead offer items so again make sure you do your research before accepting a trade now that you listed your item you can do one of three things wait for someone to give you offers from backpack.tf and do productive with your time sit and trade servers and advertise probably wasting all of your time or you can just make a nice load out out of it and rock it for a while since probably going to be stuck with it for a bit I mean if you make a nice set out of it the more you want to keep the hat which is good because you're less likely to want to quick sell it I mean no really look at this would you rather buy an unusual from this dumb ass hey you man or this absolute Chad huh if you said the first option get the F off my channel because you probably kick puppies okay that that was a little rude I'm sorry but you should still feel bad no but seriously this actually helps make nice sets out of the stuff you're selling watch check this out see this do pyro unusual hey man come on bro bam isable dude I'm telling you you know what I'm so confident that the flame deer can sell any hat that I made an entire commercial advertising this Bro hold on let me find it um uh uh nope that's that's my free nope that's that's my Minecraft coordinates ah here it is hey you me yeah you you can't sell your unusual uh that's not even for sale I thought so want to know why because it's darkg hey that's not very nice ask me if I care do you care no oh anyway equip this amazing cosmetic wow hey this is kind of nice make any unusual you are selling instantly sellable using this amazing cosmetic buy it today for only one key plus shipping and handling when in fear by a flame flame geers are not responsible for f your harassment kick from servers hated by 70% of the community weird obsessions with the number 621 loss of friendships heartbreak and more no but seriously it works [Music] it's very important to try and learn the market before diving head first doing your research ahead of time makes you less susceptible to being scammed there's tons of different markets but for the sake of this video I'm going to be primarily talking about the unusual Market obviously now for learning the market there's many different ways to do so one way I'd suggest is checking the price suggestion page on backpack.tf and keep checking it over time this allows you to see what hats effects and taunts are being sold and repriced why is this good this is good because you can use this information to know what's currently more popular than other hats if it's selling then obviously it's more popular right correct you're so smart another way is to look at what other people are wearing in game you see some popular ones and some unpopular ones but the ones you see more often are obviously the ones that are more popular you also find maybe some effects are more popular on certain classes for example pyro hats usually sell more with Cloud9 and circling heart sniper hats sell more with edgier effects like x what what about winter effects any other questions good moving [Music] on all right so trading Bots wait wait wait gets good hold on let me cook yes you can complain about trading Bots and how they ruin the economy or you can use them to your advantage I'm not saying hack the Bots don't get me wrong but there's definitely some ways you can get around Bots that I don't see people talk about much unless it's just obvious and people thought it was self-explanatory huh anyway it's incredibly easy to get around Bots even if they undercut you like the scrapyard Bots just put your listing a key above the bot and say in the description you'll discount for full cure this lets people see the bot and see yours and say oh nice I can get it even cheaper than the bot if I go with this player instead keep in mind even if they buy the bot first you can now price yours higher than you originally did because you have less or no competition so either way it's a plus keep in mind usually over time the buy orders will rise on the items you're selling to so even if you aren't getting offers you can usually wait on buy orders to either Break Even or come out on top with some profit in the end you can also bait Bots to keep going lower by continuously lowering your price until the bot stops undercutting then buy his therefore controlling the market of that effect and hat however just note that this could potentially get you in trouble for baiting Bots worst case scenario the bot would block you but you know who gives a uh there's a lot more ways to manipulate Bots that most consider Shady so I will not be talking about them for both of our safety so instead of bitching about trading Bots use them to your advantage bitching about trading Bots doesn't really change anything since they are most likely here to stay if you get in trouble though don't say I didn't warn you uh if you do then that's on [Music] you honestly negotiating is either a stupidly complicated chess tournament or the nicest experience you've ever had you sit there for hours trying to play mind games that won't get you marked as a scammer to be specific or you have a very nice and normal conversation with the other person and make a successful trade or you don't but it was still a nice experience because they were cool then there's the ones we all get but we never want to talk about and everyone probably knows what I'm talking about so I don't even have to mention it uh well uh what kind what kind of Mind Games XD du basically the same companies do to make things seem cheaper paying basically 20 cents for the product and reselling it for like $9.99 removing the pennies so it looks cheaper but it really isn't then they give you a slight coupon that makes it like $7.49 and act like it's a it's a good deal uh what was I talking about oh yeah Mind Games right anyway you can basically do the same thing the companies do and give people discounts for being cool or just to guarantee a sale friend discounts go a long way as well and if asked what you paid for an item do not lie about how much you paid this can get you in trouble and make you untrustworthy oh and if you try to sell a friend something get to know them first do not constantly bother them every time you get a new item if you are friends with them you should already have an idea of what items they may be interested in approach them with set item then give a discount to guarantee the sale okay next part thank you love you bye making a loss while trading is just going to happen every now and then it's inevitable don't beat yourself up everyone makes mistakes while trading don't be discouraged don't regret a mistake because every mistake makes you learn something trading is entirely about learning and improving just like everything else if you get ripped off or scammed you can be mad at the person or yourself as much as you want but it won't fix anything remember trading should always be for fun yes you can make it a side Hustle but it takes a long time to even get to that that point everyone makes mistakes we all start from somewhere keep learning and getting better hey the last video did honestly way better than I expected uh to most it doesn't seem like much but I appreciate the comments a lot I really enjoy editing and writing these videos so I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to watch listen and comment I read all of them by the way uh as always thank you for your time be safe be kind and have fun [Music] [Music]
