I thought I was the only one that did this. Back when you could list not FiR items on the flea market I’d spend hours buying ADARs and making them into m4s and reselling them. Or buying rec batteries and then doing the trade for a ADAR and selling the Adar on the flea
Thera are TONS of items that sells less on flea than the actual trader buying price. The additional benefit is increased money requirements of traders. I guess its not a secret anymore.
your money is worthless once you close the game anyway, just do a scav run if you're hurtin for money that bad. you can make a mil in 30 min as a scav.
I love how people in the comments are worried about it being removed.....1m in 1 hour is pretty bad as far as profit per hour. The upside is you don't have the chance to die, but the downside is that you can't get nearly the same roubles per hour as in raid.
thanks for showing making a video about this, a friend of mine showed this to me a few wipes ago and I've been rinsing it between raids to get some free money
@@Relics you arent going to remove peoples stupidity, but as soon as more then a few people do this this wont be a strategy anymore.the only reason this made some money is because no one is doing this
@@VOIDEDXDXD both of you are really overestimating the average tarkov player's memory. genuinely every "niche" strat I've ever seen get popular is forgetten by the majority by the next wipe, every single time.
I spend a good amount of time buying up items cheap for crafts and refreshing the crafts the moment they're done. Then selling stacks of them at the end of the night for 25%+ more than usual. It never crossed my mind to buy up the below vendor price items as well, to make some more money on the side.
This may just be my new before work Tarkov tradition, I thought about this once before but brushed it off thinking most players wouldn’t be selling things below vendor prices
I tried doing this with a few items before I saw this video but it didnt seem nearly worth it. Might give it another try though after copying your list
But you can pretty much make that in one Scav run to reserve or lighthouse in less time. You still don’t take a risk because it’s a free kit. I usually farm raiders on reserve.
@@360Specialist Agreed. I usually do. Then about 12m left in raid train has arrived and I go throw bunker door switch and go check train for spawns. If they’re there I fight them and get out, if not I rotate somewhere else. I’ve accumulated 70M roubles stash value 12M roubles cash. Lol
thanks for this video. amazing way to make some spare roubles when the money is down and youre going off nothing but scavs. i know what im doing when my scav is on cooldown
I've noticed this too a couple times but I never considered the margins worth grinding for. I mostly used this type of sniping to grind out money spent with traders for their lvl2 requirements at no or low net cost.
The funniest shit to me is that not only those people sell for less that vendors take they are also PAYING a market fea. Edit- guess i'm just too poor to understand the REP lads
@@firandrew репу набивать на всякой мелочи сомнительное занятие. Один полуторачасовой крафт водки даёт репы на 450к, не проще ли набивать так, а всякие крепления и гвозди за 8к просто сливать торговцам?
Nice I always kept items that commonly did this in my stash to remind me to check. Some scopes no one like were expensive to vendors but ppl hated em I could make good money there. I’ll have to try and dedicate some more time to the effort now
I thought of doing this... But then i realized all the clicking I'd have to do... And then i got lazy half way through... Now i just do like 5 barters every reset to make a quick 250k
I realized this could be done with some items before but I figured it just wasn't worth the time and annoyance of checking prices back and forth when you could just go into a raid and shove the first few items you find up your ass. Ideally much more assuming you survive. I used to be a little flea market goblin once years ago but nowadays it just isn't worth it to me after all the changes made. You can actually do this with some items through Fence interestingly enough, but the profits are tiny. But in the early game you can save a bit of money buying things like bandages for cheaper from Fence if you're okay with not leveling Therapist.
OMG.... i clicked like👍 purely for the sheer grind effort but ALSO: the fact u helped me realise my LIFE must change!!!.... THIS... is no way to live😳... in front of the screen... for HOURS and HOURS... (it took seeing such a ludicrous example....for me to snap out of my trance!... in my pee-brain, i justified mine as, 'entertaining viewing, or studying stuff i 'need to learn' or watching docos that expand my mind....etc etc)...
I'm inclined to agree. It sounds mind-numbingly boring... That said: it's hardly fair to call people who do this and find enjoyment in it brainless. It's a solid concept and it works. If that's what they wanna do and they enjoy the process- so be it. No need to be rude about it.
This is actually cool, only downside is now with fee being reduced prices have gone up on market making profits smaller if not gone on most of the items I'm assuming.
Too good, I started doing this right after they nerfed hatchet runs. I had a notepad list for all the suppressors and sights and would make so much money off people selling to the flea
I have been doing this for two wipes it is great. I am sure nikita has been aware of this. If I am not in a raid or just bored wanting to listen to music it passes the time.
so buckwheat can be traded 4 for 1 exp fuel. so if fuel costs are super high and you are a player that uses the hideout at all you can profit from that passively too
I used to buy SA-58 off Flea Market. Take the foregrip off and relist it for 50k (same price as the gun) then add a crappy foregrip and list gun for full price too. It was basically a double your money code. I had over 100mil in a week doing that, but that was back when the Flea was unrestricted.
Scavving brings way more then that per hour (6rep, intel3, ~7min cooldown, ~10min runs, ~400-500k per run). And its more fun. So idk what is the point.
He said Its a proof of concept. His point was to show you that you can indeed make quite a bit of money while not risking anything. It also shows that theres much to be desired And a dedicated person could make this even more effective And make mad bank.
@@dnf711 Pretty much any map except for Factory yield this much on average, with different level of danger. No specific route, just know the map well, understand where you spawned and head for the closest loot-rich place, fill up, and go for exit. Dont waste time running for some specific loot place, just loot the closest. ~10 min in raid max. Also keep in mind where PMCs can be at this point in the game to avoid them. I dont do any specific set in stone route and i dont think its a good idea. So many variables to give an advice, but 500k a run is so easy. Wouldnt reccomend Reserve and Streets though. They are very good for loot also, but too long queues, at least on my server. Not worth it.
I've found Im making closer to 300k per hour using this method, probably in part due to the fact every person who uses this method will decrease the amount of items in circulation resulting in prices staying higher. The more artificial demand the prices make the tougher it is to sell to traders for profit. Another passive money making method is to pick out higher costing items you can craft and seeing if the total value of the items to purchase is less that the cost to make those items.
Fun fact before Found In Raid was a thing you could sell anything on the flea. This meant you could actually do the reverse, and flood the market with hundreds of dirt cheap items that you were taking a cut off of to make BANK.
I will do this with things that sell for euros on the flea a lot. Often you can make 10 or 15 k just buying things in euros, selling it to a vendor and rebuying the same amount of euros.
I did this a couple years ago, stopped when i had more than 100M trade with therapist It was before the pseudo captcha thing they implemented, do this like 10-20 minutes before each raid and pay for your kit. now im too lazy to do this again and i prefer to do actually go into raids but thats definitely a good way to make money
I was making bank doing this with the ash 12 first week. Everyone was getting it for the gunsmith reward and selling it (even moreso because of the ammo nerfs) I made like 700k in 20 mins, especially when they came with free ammo.
It's a good way to make money if you really struggle but i still think by going into map and searching few barrels can give you approx 300k roubles like nothing and sometimes even more even if you die with Beta container you can make money this way... having Gamma it's even easier.
Before the found in raid change Id spend hours playing the market. I would literally manipulate the market by buying out all the docs cases and reslisting for example. I used to make 10s of millions of rubles in a few hours of watching youtube and clicking on the side. Weird time since I didn't really know how to play the game, but I was as rich as the Chads with over 250mil. Regardless, I prefer the system today. No one with 100mil rubles to blow should be able to do what I used to do lol
this is not an economy abuse since you can make the same amount in a 10 min raid, but its a big counteract on what the game should be in my opinion, maybe the low listings on the flea should be instantly bought by the vendors (bots) in game , these little imperfections are kinda neat at the same time because you get some nice barters out of the low interest
I mean, this is cool and all, but you can usually get the same amount of cash in less then an hour doing scav raids. Sometimes i just do scav runs only for a day to load up on cash, and this thing can be useful to do on a scav cooldown.
Quick unload for market rep. Not strange there are also a bunch of barters that the you can buy from flea and sell to vendors. I net 300k every trader reset. Have all the barter items set up on a loadout. Takes me all of 10 min to complete barters and do the trades.
@@cyrexgaming3728 takes roughly 20 min between scavs. let's assume you do a run in 5 min (seems kinda low to me), that's 75 mins for 1mil vs 1 hour as shown in the video
@@mettix6445 OR lol if your scav refreshes in 7 minutes and your loot run takes about the same. (Reserve is great for fast scav runs, though streets has turned a good profit too.) Even at higher scav timers, you can double up and spend the time between on purchasing efficient barters and hideout management. Frankly, you're better off just going in light as a PMC most of the time and focusing on loot. This method is super cool and doubtlessly it works, but scav runs can and are just as viable. (As are PMC runs if your overhead/risk are low and you keep your runs very short.)

Scavving brings way more then that per hour (6rep, intel3, ~7min cooldown, ~10min runs, ~400-500k per run). And its more fun. So idk what is the point.
He said Its a proof of concept. His point was to show you that you can indeed make quite a bit of money while not risking anything. It also shows that theres much to be desired And a dedicated person could make this even more effective And make mad bank.
where do u run to make 400-500k per run
@@dnf711 Pretty much any map except for Factory yield this much on average, with different level of danger. No specific route, just know the map well, understand where you spawned and head for the closest loot-rich place, fill up, and go for exit. Dont waste time running for some specific loot place, just loot the closest. ~10 min in raid max. Also keep in mind where PMCs can be at this point in the game to avoid them. I dont do any specific set in stone route and i dont think its a good idea.
So many variables to give an advice, but 500k a run is so easy. Wouldnt reccomend Reserve and Streets though. They are very good for loot also, but too long queues, at least on my server. Not worth it.
The flea market should be an app so i can do this while taking a dump
I do this for USD. SMT are Listed on flea for about 15k roubles less than it's worth to buy the 609 USD.
I've found Im making closer to 300k per hour using this method, probably in part due to the fact every person who uses this method will decrease the amount of items in circulation resulting in prices staying higher. The more artificial demand the prices make the tougher it is to sell to traders for profit. Another passive money making method is to pick out higher costing items you can craft and seeing if the total value of the items to purchase is less that the cost to make those items.
Do 1 scav run and make 300k in 5 minutes lol
Fun fact before Found In Raid was a thing you could sell anything on the flea. This meant you could actually do the reverse, and flood the market with hundreds of dirt cheap items that you were taking a cut off of to make BANK.
can u give a link to this table?
Cool but I can’t see myself doing this for an hour
so you're the guy i'm bidding agents when im vender snipping
1h 1mil guaranteed roubles but boy am I addicted to gambling and running a scav on Lighthouse to try and get that ₽500k in 15 mins hahah
Never thought of this, but I do buy from Fence often and get some pretty good shit
Can we get that spreadsheet?
I will do this with things that sell for euros on the flea a lot. Often you can make 10 or 15 k just buying things in euros, selling it to a vendor and rebuying the same amount of euros.
Safe 1m an hour is insane. I don’t have the patience for that kind of thing due to very limited playtime tho.
I did this a couple years ago, stopped when i had more than 100M trade with therapist
It was before the pseudo captcha thing they implemented, do this like 10-20 minutes before each raid and pay for your kit.
now im too lazy to do this again and i prefer to do actually go into raids but thats definitely a good way to make money
Vendor everything FTW
I was making bank doing this with the ash 12 first week. Everyone was getting it for the gunsmith reward and selling it (even moreso because of the ammo nerfs) I made like 700k in 20 mins, especially when they came with free ammo.
If I list it below vender price it’s either just bc nobody buys it for hours or I just want my flea rep man
I did this with Osprey 9 Suppressors back in the day to level Skier's Spend level fast and make money.
It's a good way to make money if you really struggle but i still think by going into map and searching few barrels can give you approx 300k roubles like nothing and sometimes even more even if you die with Beta container you can make money this way... having Gamma it's even easier.
No listings below vendor
Before the found in raid change Id spend hours playing the market. I would literally manipulate the market by buying out all the docs cases and reslisting for example. I used to make 10s of millions of rubles in a few hours of watching youtube and clicking on the side. Weird time since I didn't really know how to play the game, but I was as rich as the Chads with over 250mil. Regardless, I prefer the system today. No one with 100mil rubles to blow should be able to do what I used to do lol
I made more then that by scavenging an hour
I've made 3mil in an hour by selling info items on flea and selling to fence with max rep gives a boost to sell price shits op
this is not an economy abuse since you can make the same amount in a 10 min raid,
but its a big counteract on what the game should be in my opinion,
maybe the low listings on the flea should be instantly bought by the vendors (bots) in game , these little imperfections are kinda neat at the same time because you get some nice barters out of the low interest
I mean, this is cool and all, but you can usually get the same amount of cash in less then an hour doing scav raids. Sometimes i just do scav runs only for a day to load up on cash, and this thing can be useful to do on a scav cooldown.
Quick unload for market rep. Not strange there are also a bunch of barters that the you can buy from flea and sell to vendors. I net 300k every trader reset. Have all the barter items set up on a loadout. Takes me all of 10 min to complete barters and do the trades.
Drop the list
why didnt you share the spreadsheet you made? makes it teadiouse for us to do what you have already done
Literally do three scav runs. Boom 1 mil
Doing 3 scav runs takes longer than 1 hour. You missed the point.
Also, scav runs are higher risk than trading on the market.
@@GeoffroiB your scav runs must suck then
@@cyrexgaming3728 What is that supposed to mean?
@@cyrexgaming3728 takes roughly 20 min between scavs. let's assume you do a run in 5 min (seems kinda low to me), that's 75 mins for 1mil vs 1 hour as shown in the video
@@mettix6445 OR lol if your scav refreshes in 7 minutes and your loot run takes about the same. (Reserve is great for fast scav runs, though streets has turned a good profit too.)
Even at higher scav timers, you can double up and spend the time between on purchasing efficient barters and hideout management. Frankly, you're better off just going in light as a PMC most of the time and focusing on loot. This method is super cool and doubtlessly it works, but scav runs can and are just as viable. (As are PMC runs if your overhead/risk are low and you keep your runs very short.)
Flea market is either gonna get a level bump or become more barter focused. But honestly who knows, BSG are Icarus-ing the flip out of EFT
