    Hello there, I'm SkLou and I need some help in csgo trading.

    So, I am trying to trade something, you know, to get some profit with it. I know the basics, even more than simple basics, but it is super hard for me to actually trade. I have some traders in my friendlist, they say that you can easily enough buy items for less and sell them for their normal price. The problem is, I just cannot find anyone, who wants to sell an item for 85% of its price which is even a high enough price for item in trading. I even tried to pay 95-100%, still pretty hard to find, even then my trade was something like [H]15k [W] ANY offers(not a specific item, but any item for that price).
    I managed only to trade up from 26k to 29k. 3k profit, but knowing that I bought all of theese 26 doesn't make me feel better. Currently, I have 20k worth knife(stuck), I sold other keys to the market so I could buy some games during the steam sale.

    It is depressing to see people in your friendlist who trades up from 5Euros to something like 100 in a bunch of days, also, then they say it is possible to do that.

    I want answers, why I can't find any trades, where I can pay for the item a lower(or at least normal) its price, then my traders friends say it is not so hard, and HOW should I find them. Will be really thankful! :)

    Have a good day.

    We're not about where to find your "best' buy trades etc. Only about safe trading. We simply do not offer this kind of advice.

    Hi, SilentReaper,

    yes, I know what this site is about :) . Just, I don't really know where else would be a trustworthy and intelligent community. In reddit, there people are not interested in low guys as me at all(besides that, in r/globalofensivetrade it is not really allowed to ask a question like this, I don't want to risk to get a ban, it seems the only normal place to trade if you are able to trade up to expensive items, soo :/)

    Just hoping, that I'll get some, maybe a tiny advice.

    I can't recall any of us have banned an user for asking any questions, as we have the question tag there for this very reason.

    Reddit :D

    "Trade up", what? Nowadays you can barely trade up anything because 99% of the traders are trading for profit or they want a ridiculous overpay.

    That's all because people want to obtain expensive pixels, by any means necessary.
