Niche TF2 Trading Strategies

[@mudflap8648]

Something about Investing. I almost invested into buying 15 ish Pestering Jester because I knew The Amazing Digital Circus Was going to be big. But I thought it would only go up like 50 cents and it wasn't going to be worth it. Now the Pestering Jester going from 3.00~ to 20.00~ dollars makes me so sad. Its worth your while looking at pop culture events coming to see if you can predict the newest "hot" item set that people will desire.

[@ebicoTF]

That is smart. I did notice the pestering jester going up a lot and didn't realize it was because of The Amazing Digital Circus. Something also recently happened with the price of water waders and flavorful baggies because of that team recognition video that blew up.

​@@ebicoTF actually i got baited by this exact zesty's vid and decided to invest in bushman (sniper's bare torso cosmetic). i always knew that torsos (just like burly beast and dynamite abs) are going to explode (and they did). i bought 10 bushmans and guess what? they fell in price singnificatly! now im stuck with those. trying to forget my misery and the fact of their existance, so, maybe years from this very moment i could sell them for their initial value.

Dude, this video is very helpful and also is well made and funny at times. Thanks

10:27 THIS PRICE IS DECIEVING, the keys are still cheap, but they add an extra site-wide fee to any purchase after the fact. The price for keys are almost always within 1-2 cents of eachother between the 2 main cash sites.

[@ebicoTF]

Really? I never had any more fees besides the ones they list on the purchase screen from mannco. For me, buying from mannco is usually more than 1-2 cents cheaper, because the fees are proportionally less the more keys you buy. If you buy a few keys only marketplace has been the same price or cheaper even.

[@Sizzyl]

@@ebicoTFI use mannco too because I like it more, but yea. It's almost always around the same.

Investing has become my favorite, its just extremely satisfying to see your backpack increase in value with 0 effort from you, other than waiting a long time. im gonna be buying a lot of Abominable cases, people are probably going to want to unbox nukes and hunter in darkness unusuals in the future.

hot pfp

[@Microsave2]

Ok to be honest the bot part became very accurate to now :)

[@choukri99]

Amazing video. Funny af but at the same time really helpful. Thanks for the entertaining and funny video!

[@conkerisdumb]

Investing is the best strategy that I have found, also looking for spells in demand and selling to a collector for cash

[@ThumbKnuckle]

when trading contract skins, it is usually better to use the steam community market unless you find a deal...

[@Notvlxdi]

This MIGHT be Operation: Doomsday

[@John-merman]

i barely trade and i got the fireproof secret diary because i was dumb and deleted my spell book when i was new. i got it back in 2018 for 45 usd and now it gotten up by 5-6x in value as of march 30, 2024

[@xqu1c]

The investing thing hurt I sold all my spelled items before the recent boom in prices lol

[@ingotmetal8832]

same lad. i sold my rotten orange bills hat for mere 8 keys years ago. now its triple of this value. life sucks sometimes

[@xqu1c]

@@ingotmetal8832 Same. RIP spelled australium knife and ambassador forever out of my grasp.

[@JoeyStrombolli]

Good video 👍🏻 good music 👍🏻 good advice 👍🏻

[@Cat-Luck]

I'm trader myself, about the trade ups...expect the prices to go up, back then when not a lot of people knew about trade ups, it was actually profitable, you could get more than 1 key per it.

[@Your_Local_Bushman]

people also sleep on strange parted weapon trading.

[@HEXPO]

not related to the video but does a paint with the "uncraftable" title affect the item you use it on?

[@ebicoTF]

nope it shouldn't

[@l333am]

Bro super sick vid!!!!

[@Jiimmysb]

MASHED POTATES!!!!! APPLE SAUCE!!!! BUTTERYYY..... BISCUITS!!!!!!! I GET LOST YA'LL!!!!! MF DOOOMMMMM!!!!! YEEAAAAAAA!!!!

[@m0rty161]

do you think you could do a video on niche tf2 items like low crafts, strange genuine / strange vintages, spells, bloodscopes, rare skin / warpaint variants, and things like that? there needs to be more buyers in niche markets

[@perryli9229]

What future videos do you plan to make?

[@ebicoTF]

Not sure, I'm probably going to post about being on Ohnepixel's stream and talking about tf2 with him as a tf2 noob because i think thats interesting but after that idk. I could do any type of content about tf2 or trading to be honest, but the main problem for me is thinking of new ideas.

[@hikaru_hajime941]

omg MF DOOM

[@weed0509]

Keep going with trading guides. I managed to make some money of it. (~40keys) from basically 1 key

[@akajesustsuki]

First: items are temporarily trade locked when sold on the market Two: why does it matter the status of the item if you are cashing out of the game?

[@blz6895]

bro fucking ended the video with pixies and telling people to get a job (im watching it at work btw)

[@ebicoTF]

have fun at work

[@SparrowwithaMachinegun]

How I made my TF2 backpack: Buy key for 9.88ref...(this is back in the day) Sell same key for 10.11ref. do that enough times you can buy 2 keys for 9.88ref each. REPEAT :D Managed to sell my backpack for irl lego collection

[@Fru1tpunch]
