Lesson 1: Value and demand

Two items can be worth the same and still trade very differently.

  • Item AWorth 100KDemand 9 / 10Trades fast, can get extra
  • Item BWorth 100KDemand 3 / 10Can take a while

Item A trades fast and can ask for a little extra. Item B may need a small lowball before anyone takes it.

Lesson 2: Upgrading and downgrading

Many small items for one big one, or the other way around.

Upgrading usually costs a little extra. Downgrading usually earns a little.

Lesson 4: Trade fair, and keep your cool

Ask for a good deal without tricking anyone, and walk away when it's wrong.

Do

  • Start a little low, but be realLeave room to meet in the middle. A silly lowball just ends the chat.
  • Suggest a trade instead of arguingOffer one you'd take. It says more than a long message.
  • Check demand, not just valueA wanted item can ask for a bit more. A slow one may need a bit less.
  • Walk awayThere's always another trade. Pressure is a reason to leave.

Don't

  • Lie about valuesFake completed trades or made-up values are sharking. It's a scam, and you can be reported.
  • Gang up on someoneGetting friends to talk someone into a trade is pressure, not trading.
  • Beg or spamAsking again and again gets you blocked, not a better deal.
