[Theory] How To Become a Gold/Silver Seller

General Discussion
#1

I see a lot of people making suggestions on how to stop these silver sellers from operating, but I think there is a misunderstanding of how these silver sellers actually (should be) operating.

I may be wrong about this, but it seems like the most logical way of making profit as a silver seller:

Step 1) Buy Founder Pack #1 for $13 USD using a Russian steam account.
Step 2) Use 60-day token
Step 3) Buy 3 30-day Tokens
Step 4) Sell said Tokens on the market for 500k silver each (earning 1.35mil silver)
Step 5) Use the 56-61 left over TP to buy megaphones for advertising.
Step 6) Advertise selling of silver for $1 - $5 USD per 10k
Step 7) Sell 1.35m silver for $135 - $675 USD (>10x ROI)
Step 8) Profit!

As you can see, they are not botting (yet), so any suggestions aimed at stopping bots won’t stop silver sellers. They are simply taking advantage of the Steam regional prices.

Until silver sellers start selling silver for < $0.10 USD / 10k (I have noticed their advertised prices dropping recently), the method described above is the most efficient way for them to operate.

It’s fine. Just restrict 1:1 trading without a token and everything is fine. That should stop RMTs.

#3

Are Russian prices just messed up? I don’t see how they’re able to buy it for so little.

#4

Depreciation of the Russian Ruble, is the most likely answer,

#5

There is a chart that shows the cost of the $50 Founder Pack in various countries, it is the cheapest in Russia so it would make the most sense to buy Cash Shop items using a Russian Steam account.

#6

only one problem
it costs 500k to list a token on the market
tokens sell for less 200k as of today; two days ago it went for 120k.

#7

If they sell for 120k, that is still 324k silver you are making if you sell all 3.

At silver trader’s advertised prices, they are still selling 324k silver for $32.4 USD, when they paid $13 USD for it.

#8

why would people pay 500k when they can get for 120k? You can’t retrieve the money in 2 days when you sell on the market. We had a lot of gold sellers yesterday and the day before. 2 days before those days were before launch and launch day. Nobody had 500k for a token. =.=

#9

Need to remember the 2 days delay to retrieve the gold, and the good amount of tokens already selling…

It’s impossible to put Silver on the trade.

#10

Note that, even though, for example, Brazil has a 50% price reduction, R$90 is A LOT of money. Maybe it also happens in Russia? Not sure.

#11

I know, but the difference is huge.

#12

There is no way for then to sell for pure silver, only via market and the minimum price is 500k

#13

#14

Even so…if the Silverseller is selling for US dollar it would still be proftable…

#15

… fair enough lol :stuck_out_tongue:
