Need some trading advice

Post by The Domer » Sun Dec 22, 2013 1:17 pm

Last night during MVM a specialized kritzkreig killstreak kit dropped for me, the sheen is Manndarin. I'm not really sure what to do with it. It requires a metric crap-ton of robot parts, and I normally shy away from the trading/mvm scene, but I have a hunch that I might be able to make a profit on this. I'm just afraid of the potential up-front costs and whether it's worth the effort. What I really need is some advice from the power-traders of the Ville.

Here's some steam market prices right now:

Specialized killstreak kritzkreig : 2 available @ $10.00

Vintage Specialized killstreak kritzkreig : 7 available @ $12.50

Strange Specialized killstreak kritzkreig : 3 available @ $100.00

Unfortunately there are no strange kritzkreigs on the market, but that's obviously where the real money is.

If you can make the kit and get the ten bucks, it would pay for the tour(s?). I was able to play mvm for he past few weeks solely off the sale of a specialized machina that was green.

Once I get internet back up, and not just my phone, I'll give you what parts I can.

According to tf2spreadsheet.traderempire.com, a strange kritzkrieg is currently worth 28-31 keys. At the current market price of $2.09 per key, that's $58.52 - $64.79.

For a strange professional killstreak kritzkrieg, there is a trade here here (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/16038882) where the trader claims to have been offered 70 keys, and the offer has not, as of yet, been accepted.

A strange specialised killstreak kiritzkrieg would presumably be somewhere in between these two numbers, but I'm inclined to think towards the lower end since spcialised kits are much more common than professional ones.

Honestly, trading rare items is very scary because there isn't really a set price on what the actual value is. It's quite easy to get ripped off on them.

The strange kritz will be a pain in the ass to get without investing some real life money.

However, if you do get it, you would obviously be able to sell it for more with the killstreak kit attached. Whether it's worth it to obtain the Kritz and the parts for the kit and then sell the whole thing comes down to two things really.

Would you make enough to make it worth your time to do the above things?
Do you have things you wish to buy with steam wallet that you could use the ~100 dollars you would end up with in the end?

If you aren't a trader or don't have the majority of the items already then it's probably more worth it to just sell the part or trade for something you'd like with it.

Yours is professional, so it's worth even more.

I still need some more parts, and I have other robot parts to trade for them, or ref or whatever

I would get the remaining parts, and stick it on something. A vintage if nothing else. I have a specialized krtizkreig and its a blast to use. I know you don't play medic much...but its a blast.

Nice! I have one as well, and love it. About the only downside for me is that my streak color is a team spirit thing and it doesnt show up real well due to the medi beam color. Fun though! Hit my first 15 streak tonight on tv7. Much more likely to get a good streak as a medic than with my sydney sleeper.

I hate to say it, but using it has improved my medic play. I'm less likely to go for a risky kill or stick my neck out when I have a streak on!
