Please Note: This information is based on my past experience as a veteran trader. You or other traders may have different opinions or experiences. Please take my advice with a grain of salt.

Certified Items are special items which, record a certain stat. Certified items can be leveled up by achieving the stat being tracked. Certification can appear on wheels, toppers, and decals.

"Tier 1 (Super Tier)
- Striker (Shots on goal)

Tier 2 (High Tier)

- Scorer (Goals Scored)
- Tactician (Centers)
- Victor (Wins)
- Sweeper (Clears)

Tier 3 (Good Tier)

- Paragon (MVP's)
- Sniper (Long Goals)
- Playmaker (Assists)
- Aviator (Aerial Goals)

Tier 4 (Bad Tier)

- Goalkeeper (Saves)
- Guardian (Epic Saves)

WORST Tier

- Acrobat (Bicycle Goals)
- Juggler (Juggles)
- Show-Off (Backwards Goals)
- Turtle (Upside down goals)"

Go for any certification you enjoy, if you like going for turtle goals, then by all means go for that certification and have fun.

To make this simple, low valued items such as toppers or very rare decals when certified have a minuscule effect on the items price. High valued items such as painted exotics and black markets in general can add 1-5 keys depending on the certification. Please keep in mind, this is just in general, I am sure there are plenty of exceptions.

Certification adds the most value on the popular/expensive items. The best example currently is Heatwave which, is approximately 30 keys. When certified it can range from 33- 40+ keys according to certain price guides. This is when the best certifications matter the most because in heatwaves case, it can an extra 10+ keys. Remember, the more keys an item is worth, the higher the chance certification will add extra value to your item.

This section is aimed for NEW PLAYERS looking to get into the trading scene. Your goal is to comment the items you want to trade and the items you would like to receive. I highly recommend using this universal trading format. This formula is simple and gets straight to the point.

[H] x Item [W] y Item

[H] is short for Have (the item you want to trade)
[W] is short for Want (the item you want to receive)


1. Screenshots: Take screenshots of your inventory, it will save you time in the long run. You will no longer have to waste time adding people who just want to see your items. Text based posts can get repetitive and boring, screenshots will give your post more attention due to standing out.

2. Spreadsheet: Have a lot of items, but can't seem to fit all in a post due to the maximum of 1000 characters? A google doc is a great way to organize your own little store and have an infinite amount of space to advertise in.

Attention to anyone being offered outside items or over 50 keys. I can be a middle man to make it 100% safe for both individuals to fight against scammers. I am sick of reading comments about scammers and I am now offering my services to make Trading Center a safer place for everyone. If traders offering these outside payments claim to not want a middle man, they are more than likely trying scamming you.
