How to maximize your DOTA 2 trading profits
Smart traders always plan ahead. Here are proven strategies:
Buy low, sell high
Identify items that are starting to increase in value. Buy them at a lower price and sell them once the price rises.
Invest in popular skins
Keep an eye on what's trending. Buy and hold popular skins, then sell them when demand increases.
Watch for patch updates
Game updates can affect item and set popularity. Spot these trends early to gain an advantage.
