PANning for gold

Oh, I'm a comedian.

But my humour isn't what you guys are here for, now is it? Of course it isn't. But I thought I'd like to show you guys a little bit of investment.


Yes. I conducted this trade. 15 frying pans at 1.5 scrap each.

"But Koda, Why would you buy so many frying pans!?" Well, lets look at things this way. I know that people are interested in buying Frying pans, at 2 scrap each. Sometimes more. Selling one Frying Pan for 2 scrap, would mean a profit of 1 weapon. Half a scrap. Thats not much of a profit, is it? But I'm not selling just one Frying Pan. I'm selling 17. When traded for 2 scrap each, that is a total profit of 17 weapons. 8.5 scrap, and (approximately) 2.66 reclaimed metal. Almost a refined in profit. This brings up one of my tips for trading.

If you can make even a remote profit, do it. Whether that means its a free weapon on top, or what, it is irrelevant. I'm not saying that you should trade a weapon for another weapon and a crate at any chance you get. Make sure it has some added gain. If someone offers you 8 crates for 1 weapon, do it. someone will want those crates for maybe a weapon each. Maybe 2 crates for a weapon. You're making a reclaimed profit somehow? Do the deal. Make sure you know you can gain from a deal. If you can't gain from it, then make damn well sure you're going to use it. Sexy Servant (The person I traded here) is smart. They told me that they bought those pans for a scrap each. I bought them for 1.5 scrap each. They earned almost a refined, on those. I intend to do the same. I'll be making a refined profit on these pans, because they are a Promotional item, and even though the Frying Pans are worth little, some people will happily pay for them.

I will let you know what happens.
