Q & A
What is the first and most important trade trick mentioned in the video?
-The first and most important trade trick mentioned is using the 'till' button by pressing shift and the button next to the '1' on the keyboard to activate fuzzy search mode, which allows for less specific naming when searching for items and modifiers.
How can you use the trade site to buy multiple different items from the same seller with a single trade?
-You can use the 'Group by seller' feature, which allows you to select multiple items from the same seller and then use the 'direct whisper' option to send a message with the desired quantities and your offer.
What is the benefit of adjusting the stock count filter when looking for items to buy?
-Adjusting the stock count filter helps to show listings of people who have a larger quantity of the item you want, such as full sets, making it easier to buy in bulk from a single seller.
Why is it recommended to message sellers who have recently listed their items rather than those at the top of the search results?
-Sellers at the top of the search results often receive a high volume of messages and may not respond promptly, whereas sellers who have recently listed their items are more likely to respond quickly as they are actively engaged in trading.
What is a strategy to quickly sell items like Exalted Orbs for Chaos Orbs?
-Instead of directly buying Chaos Orbs with Exalted Orbs, you can list your Exalted Orbs for Chaos Orbs at a competitive price, potentially undercutting others slightly to make your listing appear at the top and sell faster.
What is the 'naughty trick' mentioned for listing items to sell quickly at the going rate?
-The 'naughty trick' is to list items for a slightly lower price than the going rate, such as 14999 KS for what should be 15 Chaos Orbs, to make your listing appear more attractive and sell faster.
How can you list items for bulk selling directly from your inventory tabs?
-You can make your currency tab public and then use the 'exact price' feature to set the desired bulk price, such as 57 Chaos Orbs for 20 Scarabs, which will show up on the trade site as a bulk listing.
What is a good way to sell less commonly purchased items quickly without getting scammed?
-You can search for people buying those items for a specific currency, like Divine Orbs, and then sell directly to them after checking the reverse trade to ensure you're getting a fair deal.
What is the advantage of using the 'Group by seller' feature when buying multiple items?
-The advantage is that it simplifies the buying process by allowing you to consolidate your purchases from a single seller, making it faster and potentially more efficient.
How can you ensure you're not getting scammed when selling less common items directly to buyers?
-You should always check the reverse trade, meaning search for what you're selling and compare the prices to make sure you're getting a fair deal and not underselling your items.
