Do people ever do a "required search" when selling valuable stuff like green keycards on the flea?

Question

Green card is the last labs card I need to complete my collection. Because of market fees, nobody lists them for roubles, and the (reasonable) trades are all for ~10 tetriz's.

Instead of farming Interchange/Reserve to get 10 tetriz's (10 * 0.77M = 7.7M) found in raid, I was thinking of taking some of the FIR graphics cards out of my BTC farm and putting them up as a 4-pack (4 * 1.7M = 6.8M) or 5-pack (5 * 1.7M = 8.5M), requesting a green keycard in return.

My question is: is doing this a waste of time/roubles (for the market fee)? Does anyone actually look at what they can get from bartering offers on the flea?

I just farmed Interchange for Tetriz and GPUs. Eventually somebody posted a green card for a mix of the two (like 4 Gpus and 5 Tetriz) and I got it for that. I think your best best is to play interchange and get a mix of found in raid tech and buy it off the flea that way.

If the market fee is not crazy, can't hurt to try to put a trade up though.

Yeah I actually just put up a 4 gpu trade and it was only ~70K for the market fee, so I don't mind losing that if it doesn't sell. I might have to start running interchange instead of just reserve to get tetrizs, thanks!

Drop down??

True but interchange has a higher amount of possible spawns whereas reserve seems to only spawn those in drop down room (I’m not aware of another location on reserve for GPU’s and tetriz’s)

The server rooms in King can spawn them, at least.

I think you'd be best off looking at the green barters and hoping one comes up you can fulfil.
While there's a chance, if your gpu trade ends up on the second page of barters it's unlikely to work.

When doing a "required search" for a green keycard, the barters that show up don't exceed 1 page (for each item category). The best gpu offer up there right now is 2 gpus for a green card (really bad trade that nobody is gonna take), so the trades that I proposed would show at the top of that list. I just wanna know whether anyone actually looks there when selling their green cards.

I got a green card out of the 85k case, I did the required search and traded it to someone for a thicc weapons case. All the listings I see that sell are a green card for a thicc weapons case.
