Dota 2 is one of the most famous games in the modern world. This popularity is due to several factors: varied gameplay, dozens of heroes and hundreds of different items for characters.

Quite a lot of players prefer to sell extra items from Dota 2. For this, the game has a special service - an auction. Here players can buy or sell any items in their inventory. But how to sell things in Dota 2, and most importantly - how to make them buy? This will be discussed further.

Sales instructions

1. Log in to Steam using your account.
2. Click on the “Community” tab and select “Marketplace” from the drop-down menu.
3. In the right corner, click on the sell items button.
4. An inventory will open in which you need to select which item will be put up for sale. To make it easier to find the item you need, you can use the filter (located at the top of the screen on the right side). With it, you can sort items by uniqueness, type, or only for a specific hero.
5. Set a price (more details on this point will be written below) and check the box to accept the terms of the agreement.

And the second way:

• Login to Steam.
• Click on your nickname (at the top of the window) and click on the “Inventory” item.
• A list of games will appear. Here you need to select a game whose items will be put up for sale.
• In your inventory, indicate the item for sale. Here you can also use a filter to sort things.
• When a new window appears, set a price, check the special box and click on the “Put for sale” button.

How to set the right price?

First of all, for a successful transaction, you need to know the minimum value of the item. To do this, you need to go to your inventory and click on the item. Information about the “item” will appear on the right side of the screen. The minimum auction price is listed below. It is this value that should be taken as a starting point.

For example, the minimum price of a certain item on the market is 100 rubles. If you set the cost at 150 rubles, then it is unlikely that anyone will agree to such a deal if they can get what they want much cheaper. In order to sell such an item as quickly as possible, it is best to set the minimum wage!

Items with the lowest value are always at the top of the auction list. This means that the buyer will first pay attention to the cheapest item. Even if it costs a couple of kopecks less than a similar one presented by another seller.

• Not everything can be sold in Dota 2. Some of them are considered individual and prohibited for sale.
• You can put things up for auction not only in rubles. To change the currency, just contact technical support with a request. support.
• Please note that Steam charges a commission for selling items. Its size can be found out when setting the price.
• It is better not to risk your things by selling them on the black market. It is far from certain that the buyer will be able to pay.
• A sold item cannot be returned, so before putting this or that item up for sale, think twice.

The Steam system has long become extremely famous and popular. Now it is used by millions of players, buying games for themselves, making gifts, participating in promotions, etc. Most of the users appeared there thanks to games such as CS:GO.

Preface

Quite a long time ago, the system introduced additional items for such games. These things changed the hero or weapons, added certain effects and much more. Moreover, as it turned out, they could be sold for money. But at first, few people knew where to sell things. “Dota 2” became a pioneer in this matter, when the trading platform first began to be filled with items from this game. Over time, this has gained more development and popularity. However, even now, not everyone knows how to sell things in Dota 2.

Terms

In order to sell things, you will need to meet certain conditions. First, make a purchase on the Steam system, and then wait 30 days (the period for confirmation of your transactions), only after that you will have access to the trading platform as a seller. Next, the item you are selling must not be a gift, not received through a promotion, etc. That is, not all items can be sold or transferred. If you find an item that can be sold, then simply right-click on it in the game (or go to your inventory in the system itself and do the same). Click “Sell on the trading platform”, after which the system will redirect you to it. We will tell you how to sell things in Dota 2 using the trading platform.

Marketplace

You will need to select the items from your inventory that you want to sell and also set the price (additional tax will also be shown to you). No one here limits you on how to sell. Things in Dota 2 are in free circulation, so you can set absolutely any price, the question is whether they will buy them from you (after all, buyers are other players). If an item contains runes, gems, etc., then such “bonuses” automatically increase its cost. You can also track the price dynamics of this item, which will show how much a particular artifact was sold for, where and how.

Selling things in Dota 2 is quite interesting; someone manages to make a business out of it. After setting the price and confirming your actions, your item will be listed on the marketplace. Now all that remains is to wait for other players to buy it. You can buy things in the game in the same way. With the money you received from selling items, you can buy other things, as well as any other item in the Steam system.

At the moment, there are a huge number of sites on the Internet that sell and buy things in DotA 2. But, basically, all these sites take a large commission, or ask a lot of money for the goods. If you have a desire to buy or sell your things, then it is much easier and more profitable to do this on one of the special exchanges. Such exchanges do not sell things directly and all transactions take place directly between two living people.

They only become a guarantee that you will not be deceived. And they don’t charge much of a commission for their services. Some of these sites even offer prices for purchasing things lower than on Steam. Finding such exchanges is not at all difficult.

Sites to buy/sell dota 2 items

In any search engine, just type “Selling items DotA 2 exchange” and you will get many sites that will be useful to you. Basically, all sites are similar to each other. They differ only in design and some minor functions. After looking through the proposed sites, choose the one you like best and work with it.

Having opened the site, you will immediately see all its functionality and everything that it can offer you. To find out more, you can open the FAQ tab or something like help.

There is such a section on any website. Study everything carefully and you will be able to understand how well the site meets your needs.

Each site includes searching for items by name, by category, by hero, by quality and by rarity. There are some sites that offer a separate category of things that are cheaper than on Steam. Many sites also show a history of recent sales.

VKontakte groups for selling and buying Dota 2 items

In addition to sites for selling and buying things, there are also VKontakte groups, where you can also negotiate with other people about buying or selling this or that thing. But in this case you should be careful, because you cannot trust the first person you come across. Try to find groups in which exchange occurs through the public admin. If his group has many subscribers and he values ​​his reputation, then deals will happen as they should.

Risk of being deceived

In general, if you don’t want to be deceived and lose your money or things, try to select sites and groups that are more or less proven. Look for sites that are trusted by a large number of people and have a good history.

Under no circumstances give money or things in advance if you are not sure that after the transaction you will definitely get what you wanted. Also, do not trust those people who, under the pretext of admins or public pages, ask you for your login and password for Steam or your mailbox. These people are fake and are just trying to scam and rob you.

This method is suitable for you if you want to put more money on Steam than you have.
Based on the topic, I decided to slightly modify the diagrams, for beginners, so to speak, or those who did not understand, to write everything in detail and with screenshots.

Let's consider 2 types of price categories

1) We will need 750-800 rubles (Not on Steam)
2) We will need at least 50 rubles (also not on Steam)

+/- of this broth.

+ ) You increase your capital
+ ) Speed ​​of the method

- ) The money will be on your Steam, but you can withdraw it by buying it at subsequent sales, for example by buying Gifts and selling them.
Let's move on to the points.

a) Go to the page with the arcana
And we see the prices for Arcana

Let's buy it
b) We go straight to the Steam trading platform and there we see

The arcana is sold for 1300, the last 2 days the minimum price was 1250, which means that the price is stable and is not falling.

C) Now, in order to get your profit faster, you can sell the Arcana for 1230.50 rubles. (1070 - ours, without taking into account the commission), in order to be 1 on the list of traders, this way they will buy faster.

Result: And what do we see, you buy an item for 750-800, when you sell it you get 250-300 rubles (in the best case, you can get 350), not bad, right?

a) We go to the page with the keys, we also see prices:

b) We go to the TP and sell there for 73-75 rubles (in net, without taking into account the commission)
The price of keys for TP 86-89 (including commission) is stable as of 08/20/14, we are selling.

Result: So for 1 key we have ~25 rubles in profit. Buys 10 keys - the profit is already 250, and so on.

It seems like everything, this can be done with almost any thing that is sold on that site marked HOT (like discounts)

In Dota 2, it is possible to buy things that will change the hero’s skin, splash screen, add new sounds and make other changes that do not affect the gameplay in any way. They can not only be purchased in the Steam store for Dota 2, but also obtained in other ways, for example, after matches. Well, since such things can be bought, they can also be sold to other players.

You can sell items from Dota 2 for real (real money) either by transferring them to the player and receiving payment to an electronic wallet (or in another way), or by using sites that are created for such transactions. We recommend using just such sites; it is less profitable, since they charge a certain commission for their services, but they act as a guarantor of the transaction, which eliminates the possibility of fraud.

Since items from Dota 2 are goods that can be sold for real money, they are desirable for all kinds of scammers. Moreover, it will be very difficult to find them later, but in this case we don’t even have to talk about the police, they simply won’t do it.

How to sell Dota 2 items for real money?

First, let's talk about how you definitely shouldn't sell them:

• If you are offered to sell a Dota 2 item directly for real money, then this is a big risk. You should never send an item before you have received money into your account;
• If your friend writes to you, take a closer look at his account. The fact is that scammers quite often fake accounts and scam friends who trust their acquaintance by default;
• If you are offered to buy an item, then in this case you do not need to pay for it until it is in your inventory. That is, it doesn’t matter whether you buy or sell things for real money, the initiative must come from the one who first proposed the transaction.

For these reasons, items from Dota 2 should be sold for real money only on specialized sites like cyber-lobby.com. When choosing a site, look for reviews about it, find out all the information, as scammers can create their own sites, deceiving gullible players.

The disadvantage of such intermediary services is that they charge a commission, which can reach up to 15 percent, which is why many people prefer to take risks by making transactions directly. Whether you risk your things or real money is up to you, but you need to remember that greed does not lead to good.

The advantages of such services include the fact that they allow you to quickly sell items from Dota 2 for real money; you can search for a direct buyer for much longer. But if you want to find a direct buyer (or seller) and not pay a commission, then you need to search on forums that are dedicated to the game. Almost all of them have corresponding sections where you can assess the user’s reputation. It is clear that if a person has a pumped up and old account on the forum, most likely he will not deceive.

Important: Fraudsters also monitor such forums; they can write to you on behalf of a user with a great reputation. Therefore, be extremely careful.

Make money by trading items from Dota 2

Everyone has the opportunity to earn real money by trading Dota 2 items. The easiest way is to sell items that you received for free (during various events or after matches). If you play a lot and follow game events, you can eventually accumulate a large number of items that can be sold for a good amount.

If we talk about buying and selling things from Dota 2 for real money in order to make money, then there is this type of activity. However, do not delude yourself; only a few can earn decent money this way. Firstly, you need to spend a lot of time on this, and secondly, you also need to find people who will sell it cheap, and then find those who will buy it at a high price.

When they want to make real money by trading Dota 2 items, they usually deal exclusively with rare and expensive items. There is no point in buying items that cost $1 in the official store, they need to be bought and sold in huge quantities, otherwise you will only earn pennies.

By the way, you can buy things in the official Dota 2 store and then sell them for real money, this is a completely working option. The point here is that sometimes there are promotions when items are sold at large discounts (up to 90 percent), you can buy them, and a couple of weeks later, after the discount ends, you can sell them for the real price (or a little cheaper).

You shouldn’t think that you can make a lot of money selling Dota 2 items; it’s better to find a normal job. But it’s quite possible to sell what you don’t need and get some money. It’s best to do this through specialized services. This way you will definitely not be deceived, and you will receive real money for your Dota 2 items much faster.
