I know for the White Zombas some guys raise the prices by posting adds for expensive prices when they have no intention to sell just to make people think that is what their value is.

The whole trading scene is such bullshit. It's basically at the point where I'm fairly certain whoever I'm planning to buy from doesn't actually want to sell it 90% of the time, or thinks I'm going to overpay for their attachment to it.

Been trying to buy this endo all day but nobody wants to part with it. Though it's funny, these same people will end up selling it for even less in the next few days as the price is still falling.

It really is starting to feel that way yeah. I'm wondering if that's the reason many of these items aren't dropping as fast as before. There's seemingly not an amazing amount of demand for these items at these prices, but the trickle is so slow and I gotta wonder if it's due to the large portion being horded by for profit only traders.

The trading scene in general is very different to how it used to be when it first started. It's literally a daily thing now for the subreddit to have multiple threads calling out this attitude and how it kills the scene. I'm currently in the process of cashing out anything I won't be using on my loadout purely because of the stress of dealing with trading these things down the line now. Basically if I'd only keep it for a while it's not even worth my time now and that sucks.

Been way too focused on trying to make better decisions and havent really touched ranked since I fixed my input lag issue.
Really should go clear diamond and such, iirc im like plat-diamond 2 or 3 in ranks and those matches are erm....questionable atm.

On the plus side, finally remembered how to be a good teammate again?

Anyone wants to trade on PS4? I have a shitload of crates and I don't care about buying more keys. I have no idea about the value of items and if someone's gonna screw me over I'd rather it be someone from GAF. Is the turbo crate still worth 1 key? I have

I really want Black Tachyon but people are asking 17 or so keys for it... I have 14 from trading, just need a few more.

EDIT: Actually just looked at some videos and it's kind of lame looking. Crimson or Orange would probably be cooler.

On PS4, turbo crates are going for less than a key now. Last weekend, people were snapping up turbo crates for 1 key apiece as soon as they were listed. Now posts for 1 key go by without any replies. It looks like roughly .5 to .75 key per crate now.

Here's a rough guide to what crates are selling for right now on PS4. Beware though, the market changes quickly, especially over weekends!

C1-3: 7-8 crates for a key
C4: 5-6 crates for a key
PCC: 3-4 crates for a key
Turbo: 1-2 crates for a key

Much easier to use them to trade for painted uncommon items like wheels and toppers. But if you can get keys, that's always best. Good luck!

Thanks. Those prices seem ok to me, anyone willing to trade for keys, hit me up on PM or PSN.

Other than that, I'm stuck between gold and plat in 1v1, and I feel like I'm hitting a wall. Execution is not the problem anymore, I'm ok at kickoff, I rarely miss aerials now, I can do half-flip consistently, but I'm obviously doing something wrong.

It's really not that good. I traded mine a short while after I got it.

Finally got my hands on a white endo. Of course I pick up the trade as soon as I have to head out and don't get a chance to try it. It's so stunning looking though. Hopefully I get on with it since I'd like to make it my main. Otherwise back on the market it goes.

Edit: OMFG, it has a skin called Dyno. That's my Steam name! This is destiny.

I'll give you 3 keys for the 6 Turbo crates if that works for you?

Oh that Tachyon looks pretty nice! I'd considered grabbing it but prospect is my main white boost. Those white zombas seem to be rising in price again btw.

I never did like how swirly prospect was and the sound it made so I wanted to give this a shot. Like it for now. And yeah glad I got them when I did the price is way out of my reach now.

On PS4, what's the best place to find item/crate prices and people to trade with? Got a load of crates built up from playing but never bothered to trade them for anything before.

Yeah Prospect sounds kinda wierd, I call it the dubstep boost sometimes due to weird oscillation in the sound. I wish we had painted Dark Matter though, I'd be all over that. I'd say I'm surprised that you aren't selling the Zombas for that clean profit right now, but I figure they're a main item for you and honestly with this being post PCC I can't see them coming down at least until they're dethroned as the most wanted wheel.

I like having keys but not that many. I don't like BM decals really and white Zombas are my favorite wheels. So I'd get stuck with a bunch of keys and nothing to spend them on. As it is I have about 30 keys on the side and I work there here and there to give me more value.

Just got an Endo (painted black), already have a regular, none painted Endo. Any idea what the demand is of this one?

Is it worth waiting for the trade block to run out and trade or just trade the regular and keep the black?

Black seems to go for about 15 keys. Standard is like 6 or 7. Both will keep dropping.

I've started to turn away from the BM's recently. Even after getting ones I'd wanted in my collection I never really used them much. To be honest I'm choosing static over any version of animated right now and even opted for white suns over white loopers to keep the basic look. I'd not actually realized how much value I had in my inventory until cashing out a bunch of it for the car either, since I've not bought many keys.

It's kind of refreshing to have a much slimmer collection of items I really love than an armada of crap. Somehow still sitting on more than half the keys I bought too, but I think I'm out of the trading game for a while other than selling crates. No more refreshing trades between matches is going to be nice.

Yeah it's gonna be a hard push for a good BM, you might wanna add a bit. Black's a bit unfortunate in this case since it's less sought after. The Endo is also a hard call right now being the first painted car. Hype has driven prices and they're likely to fall and being locked to a specific car is going to further that issue. Unless you're going to be really attached to the car holding onto it could be quite a gamble.

IMO the best choice would be sell it for keys unless you plan to keep it since the BM's are having a bit of a price crash too.

I have spent in total about 60 for keys in this game? Have opened maybe 25 crates. Have gotten two import cars early so I got those keys back. The rest has been from trading and selling crates. If I sold everything I'd have about 170 in keys. That's after some stupid trades that net me a loss lol. The game is very generous if you don't open crates and enjoy trading. It's annoying how hard it is right now do to price sheets and everyone wanting to buy low and sell high but I still enjoy it. I use to sit in PSO lobbies all night trading stuff. I've always enjoyed this stuff.

Oh god those PSO days. Surpised I haven't been asked to trade for nudes on RL thinking back to that lol. But I do enjoy trading in general, it's just become a bit manic right now, especially getting high end stuff which is typically easier through RL garage but means you need to be super cautious of scammers.

I've made a pretty nice profit too. I think I've bought 40 keys since I stopped buying them really early on. Made a clean profit on painted Tunica and Suns, then again with painted volts through the trade ups and a whole load on crates. I've got 30 keys right now and about 25 keys in wheels then the white endo. I'm actually not fussed about the impending price drop on the endo since its all profit keys, but I've also lost some value through trades too. It's pretty easy to stay in the green though at least.

Anyone else playing on Xbox One noticing issues with stats when you check the game hub/achievements? All my stats fluctuate in the thousands and such. This with the fact that the Rocket Genocider achievement still being glitched at 99% and that I can only seem to find EU servers since the update is making for odd things happening with this game. Think I have to wait until a new patch/update to play again.

Trade boxes for keys. I have gotten 12 from turbo crate drops alone. They are still worth two crates for one key.

The others are pretty much a 10:1 ratio for keys now by the way. Ideally it's best to sell them as soon as you get them as all the other crates were worth a key at one point too. Usually you can get a couple of keys for them in the first 24 hours.

So I could do with a bit of advice. I'm getting roof dribbling now, at least to the point where I can maintain the ball on top of my car and keep on track for the goal. The only issue I'm having is I struggle getting the ball to actually settle. Most of the time it's making a succession of really minute bounces, and while it works for the most part, it's making advanced flicks not work for me.

When I get the ball to settle I can control my flicks pretty well it seems, even pretty good at the 180 flicks shown on Reddit a few days ago, those are so satisfying and get some great angles. But when it's bouncing repeatedly the take off of the first jump is pushing the ball away from me leaving it too far for the flick. Any advice on keeping the bouncing to a minimum?

Edit: New loadout hhhhhhnnnnnggggghhhh

I'm mad at myself
I keep doing external things that make it near impossible to improve at rl
had input lag of .1s about for a month, also had rl blocked on my pcs firewall causing ping spikes

no fucking duh my smurf with a rising star was the same as my pc main (mid-high diamond)

^cause ps4 didn't have the input lag and it also bypassed the firewall but my pc wasn't rip

So, I think I fucked up when it comes to trading. I just bought keys to open whatever crates I got. Oh well..

I really want the Octane Mk. II, though. Would anyone be willing to trade it for a Dominus GT, or is that a terrible proposition? I really have no clue..

You can get that trade fairly easily or can get the octane for 1 key.
