PSA: Hungfuu, shady dude...

I've been flipping items in EC for years since I've came here. Unless you get lucky on a big item you can sit there for 6 months flipping mid tier shit and barely make anything.

Whenever I came back I sold him a peacebringer for 4k. He then immediately reauctioned it for 7k. Completely my fault for not checking but hes on a list now of people I just don't sell shit to anymore for any reason at all.

The original swishahouse was cool as fuck.

Yeah we only met briefly but he seemed legit. People often ask me where he's got to, and I've no idea [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This. I've talked with "resellers" and it's almost impossible to turn a profit on the non-big money items. You might be able to flip a Fungi for a 10k profit, but most items will net you either 100-500pp, or you'll sell at a loss.

Yet these same people somehow end up making "enough money to buy 8 fungis" in a months time /boggle .

They probably low-ball, and often get rebuffed. But occasionally they get the seller that's just "fuck it, i want to get the hell outa this zone, i'll take your lowball."

The real money is flipping accounts I'd say, trying to skillup JC to profit is so 2011 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Who is the pillar of P99 DJ Durisad? I don't really know what that sentence means.

Screens: Yes, receiving.

Off topic:

I once saw a video on YouTube by an aspiring "DJ David Deere," but I wasn't impressed.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a certain three letters are what get most of these so-called "Pro EC traders" who pop out of nowhere started. It's easy to scalp a 5-10k profit on a Fungi or 20k on a CoF. Any idiot can do that: you just sit in the tunnel until you find a lazy, rich and desperate buyer. You aren't going to get rich with a month of tunneling starting with a low bankroll, though. Selling a few pairs of platinum fire wedding rings for 700 instead of 500 isn't going to make you an overnight millionaire. An SSB for 1.5k instead of 1k is a good start, but again, this is not big money.

It's ridiculously easy to make money in EC if you already have a huge bankroll, because you can afford 50k+ items then just charge an extra 5-10k on each. That strategy doesn't work with cheaper items, though, both for the fact that the absolute plat value is much lower, and the fact that there is much more selling competition and downward pressure on low & mid-range gear.
