Someone with no hours of TF2 gameplay just sold me 10 Unusuals for half-price! High-five, right? Sharking is acceptable since it isn't scamming, right? Finishing comments. The cheapest Unusuals you can find usually cost about 8 keys; however, these are low tier hats with low tier effects, referred to as "cancer" Unusuals on account of how ugly and unpopular they are more info on Unusual tiers are in the next section.
Minimal profit is usually made by dealing with these hats due to their unpopularity and cheap prices. Bottom line is to stay away from cancer Unusuals if you can, unless you find a seller for 7 keys or less. I recommend that you trade up to about 15 keys instead, as this is the price range where you can afford a somewhat decent low-tier Unusual. Once you get this amount, put up a trade on TF2Outpost [tf2outpost.
People may quicksell their hats to get pure if they are cashing out quitting the game or just really want to get rid of an Unusual they've had for a while or just simply can't stand. Now here's when regular item trading comes into play, but with a variation: Buy low quicksells and sell high market value , rinse, lather, repeat.
The only difference here is that buying and selling will take significantly longer to do, usually a few days since Unusuals are far more expensive than craft hats and common strange weapons. Also, getting your wanted price in keys will be harder to do since pure is harder to come by in Unusual trading, and is very valuable to all Unusual traders.
You'll be trading Unusuals for more Unusuals most of the time, so get used to it. Note that if you do sell your Unusuals for buds or keys, you might not get the exact price you wanted, so be prepared to negotiate and settle for a lower price.
Prices for Unusuals are determined in many different ways, as their rarity in the game makes each hat unique in it's own way. There are two different types of factors that affect an Unusual's value: outside features and inside features.
What do outside and inside features mean, you ask? Let's run through them now. Outside features : These are the bread and butter influences of an Unusual, the hat and its particle effect.
I call these outside features because these are what people can visibly see in game, which is what makes Unusuals so popular in the first place. Burning Flames Team Captain. Inside features : These are what players can't see in game, namely being the hat's history.
This includes whether the hat is duped or not, how many people have previously owned it, how many marked scammers have owned it, and if it's gifted or not. The amount of people who have owned it usually has little to no effect on the value. The amount of scammers who have owned the hat has little effect on the price as well; however, make sure under any circumstances you do NOT trade with scammers or any suspicious accounts, even if they're offereing you a nice deal more info in a later section about trading with scammers.
Gifted hats are usually unwanted by most traders, so stay away from them. Gifted hats have a permanent gift tag on them which contains the gifter's name and the date received; this tag cannot be removed. Whether a hat is duped or not is also a controversial factor for traders. Some traders are very picky and refuse to accept dupes or severely undervalue them, while others could care less if it's duped or not. Dupes barely affect the value of low-tier Unusuals, but can be worth siginificantly less on god-tier hats god-tiers are usually worth over keys.
So, does each Unusual have a definite price? No unusual has a definite price, and their values are constantly fluctuating. If Unusuals did have a set value, then minimal to no profit would be made if the owner knew it's exact and unchanging price. Many of the prices listed for Unusuals are outdated by several months, and some of the newer hats and effects are still unpriced.
Even some of the recently accepted suggestions on bp. Common Unusuals or low-tier hats that are frequently traded usually have accurate values on bp. One mistake many new traders make is basing an Unusual's price based on other people's buyouts. For instance, if multiple trades for the same Unusual are being offered around 18 keys in pure and in Unusuals by different people , then it's safe to assume that the Unusual is worth about 18 keys.
Simple, right? Here are some videos of all Unusual effects for hats and miscs currently:. Promotional items, or promos, are items granted by Steam when new games are released or during special events. They may be added as "sweets" in Unusual trades as additional items of value, or may substitute keys. Here are the estimated values of common promos, according to backpack.
Remember the Sniper's 3 pieces of advice as to how to be a professional sniper? Well, that's the secret to getting the most trades. Be polite. Being courteous and kind to all your fellow traders is extremely important in maximizing the amount of potential buyers for your Unusuals.
Even if an offer is low or something you explicitly said you don't want, don't scream at the user who offered and make them feel bad for offering. By doing so, you're practically eliminating all chances of them reoffering with a better offer in the future, assuming they are still interested in the hat, and you're scaring away other users who wanted to offer since they probably don't want to be humiliated for making a simple offer.
If you don't like an offer, just say "No thanks" and hide their post, as simple as that. Mountebank's Masque. Death Racer's Helmet. Pestering Jester. Trucker's Topper. Hephaistos' Handcraft.

If you understand your position and what you hope to sell, you can make more profits in the long run. However, you can only make a profit by trading Unusuals with flashier effects.
Unusual effects are divided into two — rare effects and common effects. The rare effects tend to sell better than the common effects because they are larger and shinier. Larger and flashier effects sell better compared to smaller or less flashy ones. Trading TF2 unusual effects are highly profitable compared to base items.
As our game professionals mentioned, unusual effects, like the rare, sell better than the other types because they are desirable. Low-tier involves trading items that are priced below keys. High-tier has items priced between — keys, while God-tier includes items placed above keys. God-tier includes items placed above keys. God-tier items are quite difficult to sell, too.
High-tier items are less expensive compared to God-tier, but you need experience trading them. You can also purchase common ones like Blizzardy Storm,. Setting a higher price on an item than what you bought it for is good, but you can set a price and still may not be able to sell. Your pricing has to be realistic, and one way to make sure of that is to check the prices offered on trading sites.
Then apply that to your item.
