Today was a slightly slower day, using pretty much the same strats as yesterday. While flipping cheap items (which is what I'm doing) is definitely still effective, it's also time-consuming and slightly boring. I might try to branch out and take some risks in the coming days just to keep myself entertained.

What am I doing with the noise makers, you may ask? Well, I actually bought them a couple of days ago, but I put them in the second page of my inventory and then promptly forgot about them, which is why this is the first time I've shown them to you guys. I've been slowly feeding them (5 have been sold so far) to trade bots that overprice them around 1 weapon each. This method is completely not worth doing in terms of profit margin, but it's been kind of fun I guess.

In other news, I decided to permit myself to continue doing key auctions (with a disclaimer that scrap.tf prices may not be accurate attached) after a majority of people seemed to agree that they were either "fine" or "slightly sketchy, but whatever" in yesterday's poll. Ordinarily I try not to do anything that's even slightly sus while trading, but for the sake of completing this scrap to unusual in a timely manner I need every edge I can get. If anyone I trade with in the course of the scrap to unusual ends up feeling ripped off after a trade, I plan on reimbursing them out of my non-scrap-to-unusual inventory (which is what I did for one guy last time I did a scrap to unusual) in order to preserve the spirit of the challenge while also making sure that the vibes remain good for everybody.

That brings us to today's question, which is a bit more light-hearted than yesterday's. If you have an interest in cars, what is your dream car? There's no poll for this question, but feel free to comment if you want and I'll try to respond to everybody for once.
