@@thegoose8113 to be fair, I don’t think a small minority of the playerbase getting a ridiculous amount of roubles by using this causes others to not stay afloat. I don’t think it really affects other players at all.
Lew you just single-handedly killed the only way I make money on Tarkov by making this video since I'm so bad at actually making money through raids (love the content bro)
Thanks Lew this is great I’m always poor and I just got up to 2.3 mil with ur help. I could see how having level 3 and 4 traders would make it even easier great job ❤
Another easy profitable barter is the modded AKS-74u for the SG-C10 COFDM, it costs like 110k, and i sell the parts for like 200k+ then sell the rest of the gun for like 35k to mechanic.
The margins are already mostly gone. The video came out just a tiny bit too late. Gunsmith parts during peak hours are doing fine. Ammo is. Mid tier trader stuff and most containers most likely are not worth the effort and time to clear the queue. A single scav raid will be more involved and fun and make more by selling tech items for the hideouts.
You do this when you die and your buddys are almost out so you dont want to scav. Or when theyre taking ages to gear up. Its pretty good at that, otherwise just run your pmc its always better
hey, just a thought... if you turn off the operational only tab near the top middle of the screen for the expeditionary fuel you could get a lower price
When BSG announced unheard and lost 1/5 of their player base overnight they started listening the what players were saying they wanted and removed found in raid restrictions for flea.
Man was level 39 with a maxed out hideout. I'm like level 7-9 and haven't even opened it. I've enjoyed this wipe, but I've noticed cheaters still. And I don't like how the scavs keep swarming if you get a lot of them killed and then boom, some scav with professional sniper training or something shoots me in the face with his first bullet in the pitch black when I have NVG's and can barely see him. Anyway, it seems to be better than it was and I love EFT, but it gets so frustrating when you're a noob like me. I know tactics, but I just don't have enough time to play and ending up dead broke in EFT is miserable. Running scav after scav run gets boring when everything is looted already.
Money is super easy to make even if you don’t have a lot of time. Loot the old sawmill and village next to car extract on woods. It’s normally not very contested, and you can get a lot of loot. Take a decent bag, and fill every slot you have with an item that’s is at least 10k per slot.
I've lost NVG's and a LEDX as a noob already and that broke my heart. I haven't played since I was playing woods and lost a LEDX because I couldn't find an extract on woods xD Imagine loosing a LEDX because of time constraints... :( I was playing as a scav so I couldn't put it up the bum.
lost dorms marked room keys and rb bk while scavving on reserve... I accidentally killed a scav thinking it was a pmc and got swarmed and killed lol made it all back the next day tho farming relax room made 40 mil from like 5 hrs of farming
@@ohhkennny766 Im apparently just bad at the game lol, I like to think I have good tactics, but that's not enough. I'll try to do what you do, but I like just playing and fighting, not to farm rooms etc., but I think I have to if I want to play the way I like.
The HEMO market is too saturated now.. I could buy them up to bring price up again, but I don't have 3-4 med cases to stash them in, because selling a quarter of a million HEMOs at one time not good LOL
All good in theory but it looks like everyone has now flooded the market with sales on the flea market. So yes your profits will be good BUT only if someone buys your item listed among the hundreds already listed
I really like non-FIR flea, makes the early game a much more level playing field but it definitely needs to mark the item and make the fee maybe like double or triple the FIR fee price
Countering Flipping was why the found in raid requirement was added in the first place. It's hilarious seeing people re-discovering the tarkov stock exchange.
How is it bad for the game? It increases item availability for all players instead of only letting 42+ players access max trader items or pay exorbitant flea prices
@@reedoken6143 how is allowing every person who hits lvl 15 effectively print infinite money with no risk, whilst skipping all trader progression bad for the game.. Really? At this point we might as well just be given infinite class 4 armour, meds, stims and 40 pen+ ammo.. Helmets headsets guns and attachments.. Since the rouble value is so meaningless.
@@ValkyiaTV the rouble value has been meaningless for multiple years. 10 minutes on north woods nets you 1+mil. flipping trader items on the flea lets players get gear which would otherwise be exorbitantly priced. eg 40rnd mp7 mag; flea is FIR only, they were 80k+. They are now ~20k because players w. mechanic ll4 can flip them, rather than the only ones on the market being found in raid. increased supply is good for everyone :)
And then after a month of buying, flipping and profiting in the Tarkov market, the cruel reality sets in that you spent hours making virtual money that has no real value...💀
Tarkov money absolutely has real value, and that value is time/effort. Finding viable ways to flip and earn on the flea for minimal time, effort and even risk is actually probably the most valuable thing a Tarkov degenerate can hope for; time is money.
This aint tarkov chief. Remember when we had to earn rubles???? Remember when we had a Kiver in the meta? Like i like the direction tarkov has gone in some spots... But i spawn into a raid now.. And i just dont care. I dont care about money or anything, I wonder around for a bit. Kill a bunch of people/scavs that i dont even bother looting. Pick up a few things then leave. Whats the point of tarkov now? Like how do we win? Is it doing quests an advancing? Because you can just play Arena for an hour and make 10m+ from the keys and GPs and raw rubles...? And level up 10x faster than normal Tarkov... with stats and raw levels. Its 10x faster. Everything used to feel like it mattered, Now it doesn't. Or am i just dumb? Probs just dumb. XD
I mean good video, but its really a bad change imo that this is even possible. People who are able to play all day long can just get an even better headstart because of this, no one needs to actually play decent its just too strong just sitting and flippin all day. But well, not abusing this would be just dumb.
@reedoken6143 No, it increases the profit for players who progress faster than the average player, since most flips work with the concept of availability. For example, when your traders are level 3 or maxed out, you'll be able to buy items that most players can't access at that stage of the wipe, which results in huge overpaying on the flea market. The problem is that the money flippers make comes from players who are not as far into the wipe, creating an even greater gap between those who play all day long or streamers. Which, well, isn’t necessarily bad in itself, since you should be rewarded for investing time. But in my opinion, it’s ignoring the main concept of Tarkov. You don’t need to be good or anything to gain that advantage; you just need to be ahead. Then you can just start flipping items all day, with no need to get into a raid and loot anymore, to be honest. It destroys the main reason for playing Tarkov for those abusing it and makes it harder for those who play from time to time. In my opinion, that’s a bad thing overall, but since you can't do anything against it, you participate. So yeah, well, I guess I’ll also abuse that.
But its fair in that Sense that this aspect can be fun as Well, its a "whole new aspect/mechanic" thats respectable. I guess its Just Not what I(and probably many Players) want tarkov to be. Its respectable tho. I can live with it, its just not a good change for me personally
