Need some trade advice

[Retro Al]

Me and Speall have been saving up our metal in an attempt to trade for a crappy unusual. Right now we have quite a bit of metal but not nearly enough. HOWEVER it is enough to clutter my backpack. Should I trade for keys? or a bill's if possible? or what?

Backpack expander isn't really an option as I'm broke and I don't want to trade for one and waste the metal.

Any/all advise is welcomed/wanted/needed.

Well I use a method that, well mrpikmin2 calls sharking, (personally I call it profit, lul), where usually either scrapbank stuff for new player's items, such as cool hats/stranges/etc. So pretty much anything you is profit, and such and such

but in your case, I say buy keys, they could be profitable with their 2.33-2.66 prices and it doesnt cluster

[mrpikmin2]

buy bills and buds. Trade these for unusuals. Duck saw one the other day go for less then 2 bills.

and yes I'm still standing by my statement that intentionally seeking out new people to rip off is sharking.

definately go for keys since it seems that their price may rise and are already worth a good amount of metal

McGib is delusional. Keys are one of the few constant things, and Bills+Buds usually retail for them. Invest in them.

Well I am not very good at trading,
But I suggest is using tf2outpost

Use your metal to buy keys don't buy them for more than 2.4.
Buy bills and then buds,
Bills are 10 keys for unpainted,11 for most colors, 12 for white/black
if your going for confetti you can buy those with 2 bills.
to go from bills to buds, its 2 bills and around 4 keys.

Just make sure you know your prices before trading a lot of people will try to scam
And don't forget you can always find better deals, even though it might take a bit longer.

Sound advise.

Stay away from TF2 trading post I wouldn't recommend that place has turn into a total shit-hole now with sub-par site setup next to Outpost.

But always hunt around and wait deals out can always find a better deal usually.

also ninja and bob's advice is good, tf2outpost is very good. they have very good admins and a useful rep system to see who is trustworthy

this is my profile i have 49 positive reps and no negative reps.

also here is a good way to stuff, get a shit pot of hats, like 20+, (worth about 30 refined as most hats are about 1.33-1.5 refined) offer that shit pot and someone will be like "OMG LOOK AT ALL THESE HATS OMG"

heres how i made some profit

bought: peace fedora for one bud
sold said fedora for: one bud, one bills hat, 35 hats
sold 20 of said hats for: energy coupe
sold coupe: two earbuds

end profit 2 earbuds, one bills hat and 15 or so hats

MASSIVE PROFIT BRO

[TheMcGib]

Agreed with the above
what I was saying earlier is that people are starting to pay 2.44 instead of 2.33 ref, which can be a lot in a large number of keys
but yes i do still agree that keys are one of the only constant things in tf2
