honestly, starting with reselling painted cosmetics might be the most easy way to profit, specially miscs not hats, STN trading sometimes has a few sometimes at base value and Scraptf too, also great video, thanks for making it!
Very true! I would've included stn but I didn't for the reason that some consider it a suspicious site because scammers have been known to drop scammed items to the bots. I'm not sure how often it's happened recently so I didn't want to risk it lol, but yes stn is really good.
I usually just ignore trade offers. I have pretty much all I could ever want in my inventory, so unless it's like "I'll you trade my Unusual for your Unusual", it ain't happening.
I traded a factory new secretly serviced war paint for a quick fix. Best decision of my life. (It refused to drop and it wasn't selling at any marketplace for months) I will now do the same for the sticky jumper
i hate the fact that a f2p cant trade or speak, its actually infuriating. There was this one guy that was very good at rocket jumping, so i wanted to learn from him, but i couldnt tell him cuz i didnt have a f2p account, in the end i had to show him how i was trying to mimic him. That did not work.
Got back into trading and I deadass just accidentally bought an uncraftable pink as hell for 2 keys thinking I got a steal and tried to sell it for the regular price only to realize that the uncraftable is cheap asf. Rip
so let's say I'm a F2P, cause I am, I kinda just want like, a strange flamethrower, that's about it. Should I just like, turn all my excess item-drops into scrap & other metals? Like that's probably a good idea, right?
You could do that too, whatever works for you really. Strange flame throwers aren't crazy expensive for the regular ones tbh so you'd definitely get it eventually, they also won't go up in price as much compared to other things. In the end it's just whatever you think works best, best of luck!
Just remember of course you have to be a premium account to even be able to get the flame thrower, probably should mention that. If you don't then you won't be able to trade with other players (which you need to in order to buy the flame thrower)
@@eksd5363 I bought a few cosmetics to be able to talk in game a bit ago (I know, I know, bad decision to buy from the in-game store, it's a little late for that now.)
3:35 I got a question. You say "make sure you accept your item drops, because if you don't you won't get anymore". I have once ignored the message, so does it mean I won't EVER get am item drop again?
@@eksd5363 it works but veeeery slow. I saw your comments about painted hats. Where can I get them cheaper then sell on backpack? Sorry for dummy questions:)
What items do i buy if i have like 40 ref? I have been playing the game for quite a while and i have around 40 ref metal in my inventory and i dont know what to do with it. I would really appreciate any help.
Usually buying painted cosmetics (with popular paints. Stuff like distinctive lack of hue etc) is a really good way to get profit around that area. You can do other things too but I think I personally would resell painted cosmetics (paint region matters too, if you buy a hat that has less paint region it may be harder to resell) hope this helps 👍
@eksd5363 so I should buy regular cosmetics and then paint them or buy already painted cosmetisc and sell them on something like backpack tf? And also where should I buy the cosmetisc? Until now, I have been buying the offers on scrap tf, and selling them on backpack tf, making around 0.33 ref profit.
@@symus29165 sorry, RUclips hid this comment from me for some reason... Anyway you buy already painted cosmetics for base value and resell for more. Sorry for the late reply!
buy items too expensive? trade no premium? buy it or get it gifted to you by someone too lazy to trade? buy items too expensive? trade no premium? buy it or get it gifted to you by someone too lazy to trade? *repeat*
Ah, half a scrap is basically the same as any random weapon. For example kritzkrieg, huntsman, diamondback, etc. There are some weapon drops that sell for way higher tho like the vaccinator, but most regular unique weapons equal half a scrap. Hopefully this helps 👍
Tf2 trading feels so different now and with the mass amount of bots buying unusual quicksells nobody wants to accept trades unless you lose sm profit 😭 mad annoying
Sometimes you have a wrong version as well, so you can go into your tf folder and find the map in the download folder, then delete it and try rejoining
Tbh this was my first time writing a script so this was pretty unorganized, I do plan on making a better version of this at some point. Currently working on a trading video where I go from nothing to 20 keys and I'll explain in more detail about my thought process as well. So there is help on the way lol don't worry
@@eksd5363 nah it’s just that im still new to pc n stuff I’ve been a tf2 fan for years from their sfms but never played the games so I just never did anything like this

EKSD hi you're my favorite youtuber
Wow, this is a good video. Your voice sounds nice too. Keep at it and you'll get that 1k subs.
Well,where Do I trade In your Opinion? Casual,Trading servers,Or just where?!?!?
If you do it in game at all, might as well do trade servers. I recommend using third party sites to make it way easier for you
3:35 I got a question. You say "make sure you accept your item drops, because if you don't you won't get anymore". I have once ignored the message, so does it mean I won't EVER get am item drop again?
Even if you ignore it, it is still in your inventory. You will continue to get item drops I believe
i bought a jungle inferno pass and got imense profit so i recomend that also
Working on a trading up series actually and I'm already planning on using that method, insanely underrated
I usually looki for items that i can buy cheaper than sell it to bot. Profit from 1 item is 1 scrap usually. Am i doing something wrong?
No! Anything that seems to be working is great
If it works then it works ^^
