Selling CD Keys

Getting Started:

Hello hello people and fellow games. Today I will be blogging a bit about my experiences with selling steam cd keys as well as software such as antivirus keys. I have found that this niche is actually quite profitable and actually requires a surprisingly low starting capital. Just to put this point into perspective, I myself only have about $10 - $30 per week to spare. That's right, I'm basically operating on pocket money here. You might be thinking about where the best place to start is? Well its right in-front of you! The internet. 

So what is the idea with all this?

It's simple really, what we do is take some CD Keys from popular gaming services such as Valve's own Steam, or EA's Origin. As these can effortlessly exchanged via instant messaging or email we then open a listing on either Ebay or local equivalent. Then we make sells and generate $$$. Sounds easy right? Well it is!

Starting off:

Firstly we need to look into acquiring all these keys we are going to be selling, most of which we can get directly off steam or sites such as G2A.com. As I have mentioned in my previous posts G2A is a now massive platform market of Cd Key exchanging. The great thing being that most of the keys being sold there are from previous sales. All you need to do is find a key from a sale that is no longer on/ the current game on its relevant market place such as Steam for example is priced much higher than that on G2A . If you look hard enough you will be able to spot some pretty major price differences. This is where your starting capital comes in, as you find some good looking deals you will want to invest in them. I suggest something $10 or under for starters to keep risk relatively low. Once the transaction is successfully completed you will want to list the item on Ebay or what have you. Make sure to give yourself a decent profit margin! It doesn't matter if there are a few other people competing with you. It is a pretty damn big market and if you have selected a relatively mainstream game then there are changes there is a large volume of them selling!

This method is now a little bit more high risk than the previous. For this you will want to go back over to G2A.com, however this time you won't be making the purchase yourself, this time you will be listing the item on Ebay for a decent profit margin without buying the actual key. Now here is where the risk comes in. Chances are that when/if some one does decide to buy from you the corresponding game title has risen in price on G2A.com, you might find yourself having to make up the difference out of your own pocket. On the other hand if the purchase goes down successfully and you buy the key for a much lower price you can make serious profit. The very great benifit of this is that you are acting purely as a middle man in this sale! You do not need to own any stock at all and just wait all day long until you make a sale. Then only buy the G2A key once the money has come through.
