got lucky on some trades too, went like this
sold my M9 Tiger tooth for 280k (price dropping quicker that a hookers thong)
bought M9 fade for 180k, FN Cyrex for 24k, WW & FT AWP Asiimov for 50k, MW Vulcan for 22k
sold FT AWP for 27k
Bought a BS one for 13k
traded m9 + WW Awp (203k) for a Bayo Marble (worth 220k ish)
traded bayo marble (220k) + Cyrex (24k) for a Phase 2 M9 Doppler (worth 260k ish) (they are dropping in price by the day but the Phase 2 is still the most popular)
knew as they are dropping i wanted something that will keep its value until chroma knifes stabilized so my options were a kara fade of some description, some vanillla knives with keys, vanillas with skins, howls, glock fade, vulcans, and the like (these are easy to sell and the prices always spike after a tourney - Katowice coming up)
i put up some trade threads and wasnt having much luck tbh.
50/50 kara fade (260-270k)
60/40 kara fade (270-285k)
FN Howl, Karambit vanilla + something (260k)
so at 4am this morning when my darling little girl was squealing her head off happy as can be, i decide to bump my threads (do most trading on my phone) and 30 seconds later someone adds me to steam (level above 1 - check, public profile - check, something in their inventory that i would actually want - check)
they had a kara fade, so first thing i do is check screens. hmm interesting its an 80/17/3 (320-360k) - almost unfriended immediately expecting them to highball the hell out of me (most loungers with 30/70 kara fades in MW condition were saying i had to add 50k - loungers be loungers and all that)
but then the conversation went as follows
them = Hi
me = Hi
them = Im in a game, can you send me a trade offer
me = For your kara yeah?
them = yeh, i want a different knife
(i think to myself that maybe they have had a 80/17/3 kara (screens were 4 days old but now they have a lower fade one as they had plenty of other higher tier items, not being able to inspect from your phone does have drawback as you have to rely on their screenshots which is a bad idea but in this case i was happy with any kara fade)
anyways back to the convo
me = im on my phone sorry, would it be possible for you to send one to me
them = ok
them = sent
me = cool
me = accepted
them = can you +rep me
me = yeh, the same also please
them = done, this knife looks ace, thanks
me = your welcome
them = bye (then they unfriend me)
now my advert stated i wanted a 1:1 with a 60/40 (but as explained i would have been happy with any) so i expected it to be a 30/70 or 40/60.
during the evening id been talking to someone who wanted a P2 doppler as it was pink (she was a girl) and she had a 60/40 but she just wouldnt commit to a trade to me (shed explained she got it cheap aswell) so i messaged her just saying, ive got a fade now but thanks anyways. (she was polite and stuff which seems to be rare for loungers) so she said what fade% i told her to go have a look. she confimed it was a 80/17/3 and was gutted she didnt take my offer (id even offered her my BS AWP Asiimov)
so all in all it was a good morning for trade, my little girl finally went to sleep at 5:30, i missed my alarm, my mother in law ran out of petrol so had to go and push her car and i was late for work.
so ive ended up with a
