Struggling to make consistent money in Tarkov? Flea market flipping can help you earn significant profits by making smart buys from Traders. Learn how to maximize your income with minimal effort and risk!
Since the "Found in Raid" requirement was removed for all items on the flea market, making money in Tarkov has become easier than ever. Here, I'll share a strategy for buying items from Traders and flipping them for profit on the flea market—including a miraculous trick to multiply dollars! (no exploits, bugs or cheats involved).
The strategy involves purchasing items from Traders at lower prices and selling them for profit on the flea market. This works best if your Traders are at least level three, as higher-level Traders offer more profitable items. Focus on ammunition and high-value items like cases to maximize returns. Here’s how to make it work:
Prapor: Ammunition for Profit
Prapor is a great starting point, particularly for ammunition. One example is 7.62x39mm PS gzh ammo, which can be bought from Prapor at level 3 (after completing The Punisher - Part 1 quest) for 262 rubles per round and sold on the flea market for over 300 rubles per round. Prices fluctuate, so you could hold your ammo until prices peak—for example, 360 rubles per round—or stick with a steady sell-as-you-buy approach.
Another option is 5.45x39mm BT gs ammo (Prapor LL4), which can be bought from for 589 rubles per round and typically sells for around 675 on the flea market. Similarly, 7.62x39mm PP gzh ammo (Prapor LL4) can be bought for 774 rubles and sold for around 1,000. Whether you’re patient or prefer quick sales, these margins make consistent profit possible.
Therapist: Money Cases and Lab Access Cards
Therapist is another excellent source for profits. TerraGroup Labs access keycard (Therapist LL4) can be bought for 166,000 rubles and sold for around 190,000 rubles. Money Cases (Therapist LL4) can also be quite profitable: you’ll spend 400,000–500,000 rubles on barter items and typically sell the case for around 700,000 rubles.
Peacekeeper: The Miracle of Dollar Multiplication
Now for the "Miracle of Dollar Multiplication." With Peacekeeper, certain ammo types are listed at rounded values that don’t reflect their true cost. For example, 5.56x45mm M855 ammo (Peacekeeper LL3) is listed at $2 per round, but the actual cost is about $1.53 per round. Buying the full limit of 1,200 rounds will cost you $1,836, not $2,400. You can then sell it back on the flea market for $2 per round, which appears to be the same price as Peacekeeper’s listing, but effectively turns $1,836 into $2,400 every time the Trader resets.
The same applies to .45 ACP Match FMJ ammo (Peacekeeper LL2). Though listed at $1 per round, the true cost is $0.80. Buy the full limit 1,200 rounds for $960, then sell them at $1 per round for a profit of $240 each restock.
Another good flip is with the 9x19mm AP 6.3 ammo (Peacekeeper LL3), which is listed at $2 per round. However, you can buy the maximum amount of 252 rounds for just $429, meaning the true cost per round is approximately $1.70. You can then sell it for over 400 rubles per round, turning $429 (64,350 RUB) into more than 100k rubles ($672) per restock cycle.
Other Traders: Specific Picks for Quick Flips
Skier: Skier offers the 300 Blackout BCP FMJ and AGS pistol grips. Buy these grips for 16,445 rubles and sell for over 20,000—sometimes as high as 30,000.
Jaeger: Flechette ammo still sells decently, though not as well as during the last wipe.
How Much Can You Make?
Flipping might require some patience, and it won’t make you rich overnight. While it may not match the profits of a successful scav raid, it’s a consistent, low-effort, low-risk income source (and you can do it while studying or working at your PC, like I do when working on tasks that don’t require intense focus).
Level up your Traders, watch market fluctuations, and keep flipping—you’ll be surprised how quickly it all adds up.
