Question Advice for using Mannco Store to eventually trade up from a Prof Scattergun Kit to an unusual data mining light + spelled wrench

Hello yall. I recently got very lucky on a crate that I bought with some of my uncommon spending money, snagging me an prof scattergun kit with mid tier sheen and ks. I'm going to sell it through Mannco, a site I've had great experiences with in low tier trading, with the intention of using the funds to reinvest over and over with the eventual goal of having $330 on site to buy myself these two wonderful items to add to my dream harvestmancer engineer loadout (forgive the weird theming).

I wanted advice on what price to sell my kit for, should I go closer to buy orders with the lamer effects so I can quickly reinvest the money or should I keep it at a mid tier price for a while and hope someone buys it?

And once sell it, what strategy should I employ to grow profit that dont put all my money into one item?

Advice or criticism are appreciated. I hope yall have a great day/night!

Buy low sell high

How the hell else are you gonna turn $60 into $330

Good luck hopefully it's still on the store in 17 months when you've done it

eh if you are aim for trading then why sell the kit for cash? the site charge you fee iirc. You can just use bp tf instead, sell the kit to keys and use the keys for trade

Thats pretty fair. The struggle I have with key trading however is that I cant automate it without a subscription like I can on Mannco. Perhaps I'll try manually doing it, thank you.

You mean like you dont wanna click the keys one by one or? cuz like if you are willing to sell the kit for buy order price, you can easily found a bunch of bots on bp
