Quickselling

Recently I have started a new hobby which I can profit from called "quickselling". In previous posts, I have talked about games such as CS:GO and Team Fortress 2. In these games, you can purchase cosmetics for you character or to change up your weapon. In CS:GO there is a wide variety of skins or weapon finishes which make your gun look different. These different skins come in different rarities; Consumer Grade, Industrial Grade, Mil-Spec, Restricted, Classified and melee weapons.

In CS:GO you buy keys costing $2.50 each to unbox crates to get skins or to use the keys to trade for skins with other people. To quicksell you must first start off with around 6-8 keys which are equivalent to $15-$20. Then you go on CS:GO trading sites such as www.csgolounge.com and www.csgooutpost.com to post trade offers which may interest people. How you profit is that you only pay 80% of the market price (the Steam Community Market http://store.steampowered.com/). Some people will accept these trade offers and then you will have a skin that you only paid 80% for. People will sell you the skin for 80% of market value as they could have too many skins in stock if they have just won a bet or can't seem to sell their skin.Then you go post another offer selling that skin for full price or 90% of market value. Once someone buys your skin, you will repeat this process over and over until you feel like stopping.

The more expensive the skin is, the more profit you will gain as 20% of a $100 is more than 20% of $1. Eventually, you will create tons of profit but it will take more time if you are starting with fewer keys. What you choose to do with these skins is up to you whether selling it for real money on sites like opskins.com or betting those skins on betting websites in hopes of getting more skins. Remember, you have to be patient and persistent for this to work.

Seeing the Cherry Blossoms

The cherry blossoms in Washington D.C. were given as a present from Japan in 1912 to symbolise friendship between the two countries. Around 3,000 trees were sent from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo. These trees usually reach their peak around late March to mid-April when they bloom. The trees bloom full of pink flowers on the branches which are a majestical sight. The trees are planted all over D.C. so you can see them for yourselves the next time you visit D.C. during mid spring.

My family and I got to observe the cherry blossoms yesterday. Most of the bloomed all over the tidal basin. Many people were there, some were jogging around the basin, other taking pictures with their phones or professional cameras while the rest of the people were just there enjoying the sight. Besides the cherry blossoms, you could still go and see the other monuments in D.C.

Across the basin where the cherry blossoms were, there was the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Also right next to the basin was the Franklin Roosevelt Memorial. In other places, there was the Washinton Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Civil War Memorial, tons of museums and much more.

In the end, all of it was a great sight that people could enjoy.
