A steam group for the initial group implementing a new method of trading.

G'Day chaps, thanks for being here. I really appreciate the support.


What is the method I need you guys to use?

Well, in it's simplest form: Buy an item with pure (this will have to be at quicksell) ~~> Sell the item on market (cop the 13% gaben tax) ~~> Buy keys on the market (as cheaply and time-effectively as you can, there's no sense waiting 2 weeks to buy 5 keys at $1.50) ~~> Wait a week.
This is a percentage based system. You know you're gonna lose 13%(max, dw i'll explain more in the guide) when you sell on market. So don't pay more than 87% when you buy. Quicksells at 80-82% aren't super hard to find, just takes a bit of time and a few csgl searches (or reddit). Sorry the method isn't better explained, but i'm doing 1million things at a time (may have thrown myself in the deep end to some extent)

PLEASE don't buy items that will never sell on market (souvenirs, st bs cz's, you get the picture). It doesn't matter if you got it for 70% if you can't sell it. Search for items with high volatility, we're wasting enough time with the trade lock, we want to streamline the buy/sell process as much as possible.


What do I need from you?

Data, essentially. I'm not comfortable with releasing my guide without being able to confirm that it actually works. Terms like 'in theory' and 'should' don't sit right with me.

The most important piece of data to me is how low we can buy keys for on market. This is pivotal to working out how much is reasonable to expect from this method and it can alter the profit margin by about 15%. If possible i'd love to know what you're buying, for how much, reddit/lounge etc (it'll all support my guide) but the bare minimum I need is the price you're buying keys for. I don't care how I get the information, spreadsheet, screengrab, message whatever, I just need to know what you're buying keys for.


PLEASE treat this method with even more caution than you would lounge trading. Only put in what you're comfortable with. I know it sounds simple, but I don't know if it works yet, and I don't want to be the cause of someone quitting trading because their money is locked up in an item they can't sell, or all their keys are locked for 7 days and they miss the deal of a lifetime. It doesn't matter to me whether you're trading 1 key or 200, every little bit of data helps :)
