Profiting With Quicksells

What are quicksells?

Quicksells are when people are trying to quickly sell their unusuals for pure because of many reasons such as they are cashing out, don’t play the game anymore , or just want to get rid of their unusual. Usually 30-50% off the standard price.

How to Find Quicksells

There's many ways of buying quick sells at a cheap price. I list a few out.

Creating Outpost Trades:

What you can do is make an outpost trade with you offering keys for unusual hats and offers. In the notes write your buying quicksells and tell them to add you or comment below. This usually gets you quite a few offers a day but you could create multiple trades which gets you up to twenty offers in a good day.

Note: that if you do that it is possible you will get banned on outpost for a day because you have multiple trades with the same purpose. To avoid that you must list a specific price of each/ or one  effect of the hat that you will purchase at a set price. A good example is Frost quick buying trade.

See how he list the prices of each item. You can do that yourself or just use his list if you want to so you can make multiple trades. If you're like me and you're lazy just create one trade or if you want to create multiple ones, there is a chance someone will report you and you will get banned for a day on outpost which isn’t the end of the world though.

Looking Through Classified or By Using Trade.Tf:

A lot of the time there is people quick selling through backpack.tf classified. It wouldn't be a bad idea to browse through it and find some good deals but a better way to do it is go on Trade.tf  and buy Pro Membership for 15 minutes or so and just browse through the Good Deal Section on classified.

That will save you a lot of effort and it only cost a scrap for 15 minutes. You also good use the free user classified and just search for unusuals although it will show negative profit unusuals too.

Going On Servers:

Another great way to get quicksells is go on a server and saying Buying Quicksells if it doesn't allow that then people usually say Buying discounted unusuals or taking good offers on X amount of keys. Those are some neat little tricks to go pass those rules

For me, I usually just make a quickbuy trade on outpost as I don’t have to do anything and I usually get quite a few offers on a day without me having to do anything except bump the trade every half an hour.

Tips for Buying Quicksells:

Make sure you always check whether its a good price or not, the bp.tf price for some quicksells is very outdated so do your ressearch, look at offers , and past sales.

Look at what other people are selling it for and how much there getting offered. If your buying 100 keys hat for 60 keys but everyone is selling 65-80 it’s not that great of discount because of all the competition.

Don’t be pressured to buy only a few keys off. A good quicksell I would say is like 13 keys off a 26 key hat. I’ve gotten a lot offers like that so just be patient and don’t feel pressure to take a measly 1-5 keys off.

Remember no matter how cancerous the hat is anything under 7 keys is an instabuy.

One important thing is not to trade with scammers alts or hijacked alts because you will get marked on Steamrep or banned on outpost.A quick and easy way to check it is by looking at the number of hours they have. If they got only like 50 hours it’s probably an alt. Especially if it has a lot of profile rep because 50 hour people don’t do a lot of trading. Check if they unboxed their unusual that’s the only time you would trade with someone with low hours. If they did it’s probally okay to trade with them. Check their steamrep too make sure they aren’t marked or anything.

1st Warning: 2 week ban on outpost ( You can get permant banned if your case was severe enough example buying 25,000$ of unusuals of a known scammer.)

2nd Warning: Permanent Ban on Outpost and Marked on Steamrep

Just be cautious and you will be fine.

Things to check before buying quicksells if its duped or gifted. And before buying quicksells try to lower their price because their usually is always room to drop for them. Unless your getting a very very good deal just do it as fast as you can so they can’t change their mind. Lost a few good deals because I kept asking for sweets and going less by the time we almost did the trade he got a better offer. Ask them to drop accordingly too.
