This is the fourth part of my documentary of how to trade, now then. This installment covers unusuals, keys and so on.

Method 1: Spread the Word

Lets say you still haven`t got any offers on your trade post in tf2tp.com. Use other sites like TF2outpost, Source Op, Tf2unusuals, Unusual trading community and last but not least tf2pc.net. Using other sites helps spreading the word out that your selling your unusual and alot more people would look at you post and you would have a better chance to sell that unusual of yours.

Method 2: Be Patient

Lets say you made a trade post at tf2tp can you constantly bump it every 30 minutes and still haven't got any offers and you getting mad. Why aren't people offering other unusuals or buds for your unusual? The key is waiting, you just need to keep bumping that trade for others to view it. This could be because that little someone who is very interested in your unusual wants to offer their items to you and both of you could have an average or even get a better deal out of it.

Method 3: Keys

Keys are going up, there used to be a time in Team Fortress 2 where keys were 2.66 refined. Now they're about 5.55 refined. What you can do is buy keys for around 5.33 or for bargains. You could also buy them in the community market (if your desperate.) Sell them on for the 5.55. It wont help the economy but it'll help you.

Method 4: Don't get mad with c/o's

If you dont know what c/o`s are they stand for current offers, lets say you offered your burning spartan for 9 buds, the guy later reply`s as c/o. This basically means that you have a chance to get it for 9 buds but his still waiting for offers and possibly a "better" offer. You ask him "when are we gunna trade?" He replies "I`m not sure I`m still waiting for offers" and its been weeks and he doesn't accepted you offer, Calm down. This usually happens anyway and could be a possibility when you try and sell your unusual. Also if people offer you there unusuals and its a lowball you shouldn't get angry. Just say thanks for the offer but my hat is worth more, and just be nice, manners shows something in trades.

Thats all for tier trading, check back later for other things I may have missed out on. Hope this helps
