Collecting and withdrawing the drop

Don't send everything to one storage account

A storage account is a separate account where items are collected. A storage account doesn't need Prime.

The most common mistake is sending the whole drop from hundreds of accounts to one storage account every week. All the farm's accounts end up linked through a single point, and Valve can easily see it's a farm.

The most reliable way

  1. Sell the drop right on the farm accounts, on the Steam Community Market.
  2. Use the resulting balance to buy TF2 keys right there.
  3. Send only the keys to the storage account, and withdraw from there.

Doing this by hand on a hundred accounts takes a long time. Selling, buying keys and sending are done in bulk by CRUX MANAGER.

How to cash out

Money can't be withdrawn from Steam directly, so every method is an exchange with some loss.

  • Selling on third-party marketplaces:
    • fast — LIS-SKINS: you sell instantly and get the money;
    • more profitable but slower — P2P selling on Market CSGO: the item is listed for other players and sells for more, but you have to wait for a buyer.
  • Via TF2 keys. Keys sell for real money and have a stable price. A proven method, but you lose a noticeable part of the amount.
  • Via price comparison tables. Items are bought where they're cheaper and sold where they're more expensive, accounting for fees. The most profitable method, but it requires attention.

Automation in Crux

The panel can sell the drop, buy TF2 keys and craft trade-up contracts by itself. Bulk operations with Steam accounts, including balances, trades, purchases and MarketTM, are handled by CRUX MANAGER.
