Buying low and selling high. Here are some Tips:

You will need to calculate buy/sell prices minus 10% tax.
However, there are helper apps that can do this job for you

It's recommended to focus on trading Craftable Non-Decor items, e.g. Sledgehammer, Summator, Fafnir, etc. They are simply faster to trade. See average good margin ranges:
Rare items: 2c+
Special items: 5-10c+
Epic items: 15c+
Legendary items 50c+



After you found nice items to trade, place slow buy orders and OUTBID BY 0.01c only. It's pretty easy and not much effort to check + readjust prices in between games.

Sell the items outbidding by 0.01c. Enjoy your coinsies :3

This guide showcases examples for players with 600+ coins to trade with. It really depends on how many good buy orders you can afford at a time. 600+ coins is the optimal range.

If you are just starting out fresh. Get 4k Power Score car, farm Plastic and Scrap, sell plastic and craft items with Scrap. Up until you get to 100-200 coins, start crafting more rares + specials + start trading rares + specials. The more coins you have the faster you snowball your profits. That's why 600 coins is the base comfortable range, but you will get there in no time!

It usually takes me 1 day to recover from 0 coins to ~600 after rushing my favorite items ;D So, if you are a little less experienced, it might take 2-3 days and you will be a happy trader too!

Crafting items can also be fairly profitable. Again, 100-500 coins a day if planned correctly.

You can go to https://crossoutdb.com/ click Crafting tab, click filter by Crafting Margin, click again to show the most profitable craftable items first.

Example: Whirl (epic craftable weapon) = around 20c profit OR 50c profit with resources farmed.


Tips:

- Buy cheaper ingredients (in the example, Sidekick as an ingredient for Whirl is around 88-90c)
- Craft the more expensive ingredients (APC Wheel craft cost 88c but buy price is 106c)
- Try and farm resources for the item. Plastic is the easiest (3-4 Frontier Defense yields ~100 plastic which is 30c worth)
- ALWAYS Slow Buy items when you need to buy something and OUTBID BY 0.01c. Avoid quick buying because it will hurt your income and crossoutdb.com profit number is calculated by Slow Buy.

Extra cookies:

- You can switch your faction once in 24 hours. Place all the items to craft: rares, specials, epics, etc. and switch to another faction to instantly craft more items. (The previous faction will just keep crafting as usual).

Basic optimal scenario: Go to crossoutdb.com, find profitable epic item to craft (Whirl in this example), craft expensive part to craft (APC Wheel, 2 hours), buy cheaper parts (AC50 and Sidekick) - you have 2 hours to farm resources, do quests, have fun etc. In 2 hours go back to Whirl bench page, put it to craft. Put one more APC Wheel to craft (for tomorrow crafting or for selling) - whole steppenwolf faction is crafting. Now go Firestarters Faction, switch to them and repeat the process - craft Bigfoot and special items. Login in 6 hours, place an extra bigfoot to craft.

Result: 3 epic items (can craft up to 4 a day) and a few special items = 300-500 coins a day.

If you are just starting out fresh - search crossoutdb.com the same way but filter by Rare rarity and see if you find rare items to craft.

Raiding is pretty straightforwad - Plastic Normal Raid on Frontier Defense map yields ~30 plastic and it's 7-9c profit per raid OR 5-7c if you buy 40 fuel per raid.

Important tip: use resources to craft items instead of selling to save 6-10% cost from (e.g. Plastic quick buy = 33c, plastic quick sell = 32c). Unless you are new to the game, then sell some resources to get the starting 100-200 coins)

It's a decent extra income from doing most daily and weekly quests. I dont recommend spending time on Easy Raids nor Leviathan Invasion (if you are doing quests for Engineer Badges). When you farmed your weekly Engineer Badges - go for Pathfinder Container, it's the best value.
Tip: You can do dailies in Patrol mode if you want to save some time.



Resource farming:
- Plastic (5-9c per raid ~7mins a game)
- Scrap (0.8c per game OR 1.2c if you farm fuel ~3mins a game)
- Wires (0.4c per game ~3mins a game)
These numbers are approximate, but it goes without saying, focus on Plastic and then Scrap.

GLHF!
