Buying Every Cucumber on the Steam Market
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 июл 2021
- Today we are attempting something very stupid. We are going to be buying every cucumber on the steam market for profit!! I know how why and what is going on. Well let me explain. Items can be bought and sold on the steam market these range from weapon skins in csgo to just anime emotes and trading cards. Some of these items on the marketplace can range from £0.03 to thousands of dollars. Today I am attempting some cheeky price manipulation shenanigans as we purchase as many cucumber emotes from the marketplace as possible to artificially inflate the price and then try to sell them at a profit. Now the cucumber will be starting today being worth just 3p but we will be driving it all the way up to £10 using a simple investment. Ultimately this steam market exploit is not going to make you a millionaire but it might let you buy shower with your dad simulator for free. So watch as the spiffing brit exploits the steam summer sale to take advantage of temporarily lower prices to buy up the market supply of cucumbers for profit!
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
So sit back relax and enjoy this Steam Market exploit attempt! How on earth can one english bugger break the market with some casual market manipulation!! Who knows maybe we will only lose a few hundred pounds on this stupid idea.

The supermarket is empty where I live, there is no cucumber supply left and I am afraid

it seems quite inefficient to buy cucumbers out of supermarkets anyway. Personally I just buy the supermarket its much more efficient .

@@dontreadmyprofilepictureyt Except its actually a terrible example of market manipulation because the only reason the price went up was because he overpaid for them and then set a sales price higher than anyone would actually pay.

I used to do something similar in WoW years ago. I cornered the market of the White Kitten vanity pet. Its sold by a randomly spawning patrolling npc in Stormwind city, who only ever carries one. The pet was uncommon enough to get naturally that people would pay about 100 gold on the auction house. Which back then was a good amount. I hung out chatting with my guild instead of actually playing the game enough that I would just run his patrol route and find him sometimes more than once a day. I developed a surplus stock in my bank, only posting one for sale at a time and instantly buying anyone out who under cut me.
And that’s how I afforded anything I ever wanted in game by becoming a corrupt kitten trader
Cool story, really, never played wow so there are little nuggets like this everywhere and it's always a fun read.
If your linked in profile isn't "Corrupt Kitten Trader" i'll be disappointed
Little Timmy sells it!
@@azuremystwow603 Yes! I had his patrol route on lock for a while there. Haha
You’re vile… and I may have bought a kitten from you at some point. I distinctly remember trying to get one from the damned trader with no luck, and then bought one from a player for yes… roughly 100 gold
Almost a year later and the cucumber has officially sold at an average of $1 since may. That is great, thank you for this.
Thanks for posting the update. I just found this video today and was wondering how the market had responded almost a year out.
41$ now😅
@@user-In_Cognito so it was a "smart financial move" while you are youtuber with so many subscribers.
10 months later and this has still made an effect on the cucumber market
This literally explains economy so well while being a joke

True in some way. But did he actually manage to selle all his cucumbers and made a profit? Well if it didn't in a 20minute video then I'd suggest it didn't happen at all.
Well, value of anything depends on its rarity or availability in market. One of the reasons diamonds are expensive is because of that. I urge you to search for how diamond market and it's artificial rarity was created for the sole purpose of making money. Coldfusion did a video on this topic or i forgot.
commodities being overvalued, realize noone wants to buy a cucumber for 10$ and the larger commodities market dies
No it doesn’t

That was the joke
Red Dragon was a cool browser PvP game before micro transactions. It was strategy where coalitions of up to 17 players fought wars until one coalition topped some limit, built end game building and it ended an age. It also had lets say "emergent strategy" of group market manipulation.
There was turn limit per day, so you could log on and play for 15 minutes and that's it if you didn't talk to anyone or didn't have some hard problem to think through only executing a strat you knew. If you had more countries it would of course take more. That game also had a market place and most strategies relied to some point on buying and selling materials. Usually you would rebuild after a war, switch to peace time economy, make money, load up for next war and fight. But during the war you needed some stuff, or a quick buck so market was necessary for it. One coalition, or a couple of them that schemed together, might have hoarded enough money to clean up market for some resource. Then they dictated the price as demand was much to big for the normal supply. Most people couldn't immediately jump on it and switch to that resource, only some of them could rebalance peace economies a little bit. Meanwhile unfortunate guys who absolutely needed it had to pony up the money, or if someone put too high price limit on auto-buy he'd get completely railed buying tiny amount of super pricey stuff. Completely legit strat, over time people in higher ranks would survey game situation to anticipate some other coalition hoarding loads of money etc. There were also "war treaties" where you'd set up a "clean war" with other group and agree to fight any aggressor if someone jumped in, "ambushes" where you attacked without treaty and hunts for treaty breakers. None of this was in the mechanics in the game but evolved on top of it. In a good coalition you needed a leader to run this diplomacy, master mage, master thief and master strategist to calculate optimal group effort in attacks, while normal members optimized their own "countries". I've played it for 3-4 seasons and my group changed master strategy and race composition of countries between runs and it was quite interesting each time. All that cool meta, and no P2W. Only payment was for more countries per player, but it made no difference if someone had 3 countries or if it was 3 people each running 1.

Spiffing Brit: getting all excited about cucumber prices.
His Dutch viewers: laughing in tulip. And/or clogs.
I’m Dutch, and I don’t understand this joke, I don’t know anything about tulip prices but I’m pretty sure they are cheap and clogs are also not expensive, clogs also don’t have a set price i think
@@averyrealnamethatismyname9495 the Tulip Panic was a period in Dutch history where tulips suddenly became all the rage, to the point that they couldn’t be grown fast enough to keep up with demand. This lead to the flowers being worth more than their weight in gold. Tulip bulbs were so valuable that a black market popped up essentially overnight to sell them
@@averyrealnamethatismyname9495 No worries, it's an obscure reference to people in the Benelux, I imagine, but a relatively common meme in the anglosphere when money is involved. It's a reference to 'tulip mania,' a sudden increase in tulip prices that occurred around the 1600's. It was further popularised by an advertisement for... I think an investment firm? Basically, tulip bulb prices skyrocketed (as in: competing with real estate prices) for, in hindsight, silly reasons, and it became a financial bubble that soon popped and went into historical infamy.
As for the clogs, well, that's a pun on the 'laughing in' meme. It's usually represented as laughing in a certain language, then mutated into laughing in a concept as it were a language, but I only meant it as Dutch wearing clogs, since the stereotype of the tulip farming Dutch overlaps with that of the clog-wearer.
But, that said: I'm Belgian, aka the punchline to the joke in five countries, so please believe when I say it's all in good fun. Always happy to help out our neighbours to the North. I'd say I'm always willing to lend a hand, but that's a phrase that raises a few eyebrows coming from us Belgians, so...
