hello everyone welcome back to another
one of my videos
and uh as you can see by the title today
is a quick little uh
tutorial thingy on how to sell
skins on the steam market now this is
not just applicable to skins you can
sell pretty much any item in your steam
inventory that is uh trade uh marketable
so uh yeah and if the quality seems to
be a little bit lower today i apologize
my pc is broken i'm doing this on my
school laptop
so please bear with me but i want to
help you guys out so
uh first things first i don't want to
waste any more time let's just get
straight into it
um before you think of selling any steam
items on the market you need to consider
a steam guard authenticator now what a
steam guard authenticator is
is uh you know when you try logging in
you have to type any code from your
phone or from your email it's a great
security
thing so you cannot lose uh passwords
easily
um things like that and what this does
is if you have a steam mobile
authenticator
uh when you put up a listing on the
market it goes up instantly
and all you gotta do is hit a
confirmation on your phone or reply from
a code from your email and it goes up
and it's ready to be sold
you know 30 seconds after you put it up
whereas if you did not have steam
authenticator once you put up a listing
you'd have to wait 15 days
and then your listing would go up but
after 15 days
since uh steam items were almost like a
cryptocurrency the prices could jump up
and down and by the time your listing
goes up your price could be
irrelevant towards the item that you
wanted to sell
so uh when you uh first set up a steam
authenticator uh
you need to wait two weeks before um
it starts to have effect on the steam
market so if you do not have
one set up a steam authenticator and
wait two weeks and then you're gonna
have to come back to this video i'm
sorry it's just how it works you can't
fix it there's no other way going around
it
if you want to wait 15 days for your
market to go up that's fine
but if you want it to go up now so your
price is relevant by the time
you know you put it up then you're going
to need to steam authenticator anyway
let's just get straight into it i wasted
enough time talking so
first things first you need an item to
sell and you need to go to your
inventory
now as you can see there's steam cards
you can do
cs go skins blah blah blah so it doesn't
really matter
what it is for in for this instance i'm
going to use a csgo skin because they're
probably you know they're sold a lot
so you got to find a skin that you want
to sell so let's sell this desert eagle
thing because i have a new one i don't
need this one
so before you sell
your items you should always take a look
at the
viewing community market tab and better
yet here so
there's two things here uh the first
thing is starting at
whatever now i have i'm in canadian
currency because i am from canada if
it's from us it'll say usd
blah blah blah euros
pounds doesn't matter so uh for in this
instance this goes for a dollar 76 in
the market so if i were to buy this
that is the lowest uh price
now funny thing i actually tried
recording this video one more time and i
messed up and
this price was 174 so that just shows
you that item was already bought
and now this is the uh now this is the
cheapest
so this is the cheapest price so if you
were to sell lower than this price you
would
be the first one if someone were to buy
this skin you would be the first seller
whereas if you put higher than this
number
you probably wait a while and this here
the volume that's how many are sold
every 24 hours so if you want to know
how popular that item is every 24 hours
there you go now if you click this
viewing community market tab you can
view it from a
normal market perspective which is
always good you can see the
median sale price statistics you can
click week month
lifetime does not matter so as you can
see
very first not very first but they
originally sold at seven dollars
so yeah on april 15th
anyway so uh once you're here um you can
see
this is the gentleman who has the lowest
price which is
uh if i were to buy this right now i
would buy it from him because why would
i buy
for higher prices if he's got the lowest
now before you sell there's always a
good thing to keep in mind
um if you were to sell an item it does
not sell instantly obviously it's going
to go up here and you gotta wait for
someone to buy it
but if you really didn't care you
weren't yeah if you didn't care to lose
a bit of profit and you just wanted to
sell instantly for sale
for example they say there's a sale
going on and it ends in three minutes
and the skin you want to sell is more
than enough money to get what you need
for the sale
and you just really need to sell it and
you cannot wait for someone to buy it
because the sale might end
then you could sell it at a
at an ordered price now what an ordered
price is is that if someone thinks
okay 176 is too much i don't want to buy
the skin for that much
they can place an order for that skin at
a much
lower price so if someone were to ever
sell it for that lower price they would
their steam account would buy it
instantly
for example let's say there's a knife
for 700 no one wants to pay 700 dollars
so one dude puts an order for 500
because he can't afford 700.
so if anyone were to sell that knife for
500 his account would snag it because he
placed an order for that low so if
anyone
puts an order that low it will sell
instantly so for example
176 that's the cheapest price right now
but there's 10
955 requests to buy at 153 or lower
so you could place it at 175 and you'd
be the lowest price until someone beats
you to it or you gotta wait until
someone buys it
or you could sell at 153 and it would
sell
instantly and go right to your steam
wallet
okay now we got that covered if you want
to sell you just got to find it
uh let's go look over here
find it just gotta click the big green
sell button
so now it's a good thing to talk about
uh steam profits
uh so for instance this is the buyer pay
so this is how much the buyer is going
to pay
and this is how much you're going to
receive so you can either type in
what you want the buyer to pay or let's
say you only need a specific amount you
can type what you need here
so the thing with steem is for example
if i were to sell this for one
175 i would only receive
153 because steam takes a partial profit
so they are able to make money off steam
sales which is why
buying skins and selling them isn't a
really good way to make profit because
you just lose it
losing the end anyway so
it's almost like a tax the steam tax so
for example if a nice
like i said with 700 so you'd sell it
for 700
and they actually sold it you'd only
receive 608 so it seemed to take 92
dollars of uh
of your profit from you as sort of a tax
so that's pretty much it now
now you have to sell it so all you
really have to do is put in a price
so let's do 175. we want to go a little
bit lower than that guy
all you got to do is click agree
and put up for sale click ok
boom now this will usually pop up almost
every single time
additional confirmation needed so
uh all you got to do is grab your phone
or go to your email in this case i have
my phone
uh you're not able to see the screen but
uh
that is okay so i'm loading up my phone
right here
and i go to my steam app i click ok now
uh you got to go to your confirmations
tab on your phone
you can go to your email so with the
email it will most likely be a code
and for steam uh it's just a quick
little steam guard i'm going to turn on
my hotspot here because my internet does
not seem to be working
great timing griffinator awesome
okay my apologies that took longer than
expected okay so in my steam
authenticator i have a my listing all i
gotta do is tap on it and click create
listing
now i have a seam authenticator which
means it should go up instantly
so now once you're here if you go to
community and click market
now when you click market you'll have
your own listing that's right here so
this is listed on september 10th
uh there's item right there so it'll be
right there you can click remove if you
want
so we can just click that
so boom now we're at the item and as you
can see there's mine
as we go down uh i guess it has not
loaded yet but once it refreshes i will
be the first
uh person right here and i'll it will
say 175. so now as you can see
my steam wall has not changed it's still
25 173
so obviously i have to wait for someone
to come and buy this so let's say i
cannot wait
and i need to sell this thing instantly
so you'd go to your inventory
find your desert eagle skin you want to
click sell now i saw that people wanted
to buy it
instantly for 153 so i go 1.53
i click agree now keep in mind my
current steam wallet is 251.73
so now i can put it up for sale
boom like that additional confirmation
needed there's the ringtone on my phone
so just go to your steam app
confirmations okay so i'm about to tap
create listing it's going to watch my
steam wall right there
create listing
boom see that change it sold instantly
so yes
i did lose about 20 cents or so worth of
profit but it sold instantly and i got
my money right away
so i think that's it i don't think i
missed anything
just to recap uh you need your steam a
guard authenticator in order to do that
if not
you'll have to wait 15 days for your
listing to go up
uh you can sell it at lower prices for
order numbers if you want to sell it
instantly but you do
lose some profit steam has their own tax
on it which means you lose
do lose profit regardless of how much
the uh
item is worth uh i think that's
everything
