Hello everyone! I'am making a guide to trading since alot of people don't know how to trade!
Before entering trading I highly recommend going and watching some "How to not get scammed" tips since CS:GO community is very dangerous!

Trading is hard and it takes alot of time to get the item that you want, but you have to not give up. Alot of people tell me that it's impossible to trade and etc. but trading requires patience, patience and more patience. Some items take time to sell, but you have to don't stop trading. Not everyone will accept your trade, but once you find someone, you will succeed!

Maybe one day you will get to this!

Many people usually don't try, but they should because you can find alot of people that have great items and try to trade them!

Steps to doing that!
1. Go to any game (Deathmatch, casual, competitive, arms race, etc.)
2. Press "Tab" button to see scores











3. Then add them! Like this:











4. After that go to friend list, go down and find "Invitations sent" bar, find the guy you added and then send a message and invite to trade!











5. Trade with him!

It's a simple, but effective way of trading!

P.S Not everytime people will accept your trade, and not everyone will speak english when you trade
so keep that in mind

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How you should speak with him:
1. Try to be nice
2. Trying to rush him is a pretty good tactic, but sometimes it pisses people off.

Speaking should be like this:
Hi
Can you show me your items?
I want "itemname"
Can i make an offer on it?
Here's my offer (offer your item for his)

People like shiny items so cheap glocks, usps, etc. should be easier to trade with them!

People keep asking: "How do I trade in ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥?" Well im here to help you with this too!
Remember there will be lowballers, scammers, and all sorts of bad people. There will also be people that won't accept trade offers but you have to try and trade and not give up.

ONE OF THE BEST TRADING TECHNIQUE (PLEASE READ CLOSELY)

First of all, there is an interesting trading technique called: waiting for item to go down. (Im not very creative with names :D)
You search marketplace, research prices and then when you know the prices you wait till someone tries to quicksell their item on Steam Community Market (SCM for short) after that you go ahead and send offers to people!
It's effective way of trading, of course you can send trade offers normally for just bigger priced item but that may take more time.

So how do I send trade offers to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? (Keep in mind, this is my way of trading)
1. Find an item, then type the item name in ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and search for it.










Like this!
2. After you do that you select a trade and press scroll wheel button to open trade in another tab, after you do that with alot of trades it should look like this.











3. Click on trade, send trade offer or offer on his trade page (I prefer sending trade offer though or adding), rinse repeat with other trades that you opened.


















Make sure to check quality of the item first before trading.

You might also wonder, how to make a trade? And also how to make more effective?

So here are steps to doing it!

1. Making a trade!
ez










But that is stupid. Here is how creating a trade should look like!
(It's just an example, but if you want something diffrent SAY IT in the description so people can understand! Also putting only "Any Offers" isn't that effective too. Add what you want and add that "Any Offers" ONLY ONCE in a trade)
2. Making a GOOD trade!











That's how I create trades! And it's effective.
(If you ever want, you can go to my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ profile to see more examples!)

First of all.
Never ever trade souvenir items.
They are unstable in price, VERY hard to sell and overall bad.

Second of all.
STICKERS DON'T ADD PRICE.

EDIT: Now with the recent jump in price of stickers, they do add value, up to 10% of the stickers value, stickers like ibp holos and titan holos are sortof exception

Talking about items you should stay away from I should also mention new items.
You may ask: "Why?" Well because they will go down in price.
Let's look at Glock-18 | Water Elemental Minimal Wear for example:















It's very risky to take new items to trade.

You should also not try to get these weapons.
MAG-7
Nova
Sawed-Off
XM1014
Dual Berettas
MAC-10
PP-Bizon
UMP-45
MP7
G3SG1
SCAR-20
M249
Negev
They are usually hard to sell. There are some exceptions like restricted versions or classified versions of these items, but usually they are hard to sell.

Now, what items to invest?
There is some specific collections of weapons that will rise in price!
I recommend getting atleast some of them.
Here is a list of collections that will rise in price!
Assault, Aztec, Arms Deal 1
Baggage, Bank, Alpha
Cache, Cobblestone, Winter Offensive
Dust (not dust 2), Militia
Nuke, Overpass, Vertigo
eSports 2013, Bravo, Arms Deal 2
eSports 2013 Winter (possibly), Arms Deal 3 (possibly)
Phoenix (possibly)
These are collections that I will think will rise.

You should also invest in major event capsules (like katowice, esl cologne and more)

Here is some words that will you need to know.

In addition to trading I have some other small tips for you trading manics :)
1. Google chrome addons.

I use some Google Chrome addons to make trading (and betting) a little bit more simpler :)
1. Block Misspelled Websites (Might help with phishing link blocking)
2. CS:GO Lounge Multiple Accounts (If you have multiple accounts, it will help access them easier)
3. Lounge Assistant (Overall awesome. makes easier trading overall in ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, like adding seeing how much item is worth without going to marketplace!)
4. LoungeDestroyer (WARNING. Might interfere with Lounge Assistant. It really helps with betting, searching for items and more!)
5. Steam Community SteamRep Integration (REALLY HELPFUL, basicly when you go to an person profile in steam, it automaticly shows if he is marked on steamrep as a scammer!)
6. Steam inventory helper (Shows price of items when someone sends a trade offer!)

2. Auto-bumping your trades on ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

It may seem like a waste of money to you, but it's really worth it in the end because you just get alot more offers!
How to get it? Pay a key for now (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is currently having problems with paypal so you can't donate there, but you can donate a key!)

http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/groups/♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥/discussions/8/627456486769848359/

You have to wait some time to get it, but once it accepts you get 200 points that you can spend on various things!

















Here you can choose what you want! (I highly recommend autobump!)
After you choose autobumps go to your trades and choose what trade to autobump! (Remember you can autobump only the amount you chose to autobump you can't autobump all trades with one autobump purchase!)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this guide and try trading yourself! I hope it helped to atleast get started on trading! Any ratings, opinions, feedback is appreciated!
