It encourages the people who have money to waste it on the game so they can buy things from other people, and it allows the people who don't have money to grind until they can afford things like inventory slots. The real problem would be if people started trading for real money, because that's what started TF2's downward spiral. Platinum can be bought for real money or by selling mods, for example from the Orokin wreckage (more specifically the Orokin Derelict). YouTubers related to Warframe and Devstreams on Twitch can give you some platinum as well. The best way to earn it is by opening relics. From them you can obtain Prime Parts for Warframe, weapons and companions. The scam is this. Player A buys platinum with real money.

Alright, so as many of you probably know Warframe.market was recently overhauled for the better – making it less laggy, more efficient, more user-friendly and just simply better all around.

Which means this article is due for an update to match the updated Warframe.market since this article was written initially for the old warframe.market-place. So here we go :P

Alright so http://warframe.marketis a must to have if you are a player in Warframe. Basically what you want to do if you’re new to – and never before have used warframe.market- is to visit their website, and go to the upper-right hand corner and choose “sign in” to then click on a button with the option to Register.

You will then be redirected to a page asking for email and password, enter these and press “Join”. You will then be redirected once again to your freshly created account page this time, where the first thing you must do, is to verify your account name – which is what makes their service so great. Because this ensures that you as well as every other person having items to trade have a verified username in-game in Warframe, so you can write to them directly with ease via just copying name from website or using the in-game messaging function which generates a chat whisper command for you to copy and paste directly from the warframe.market website (new addition since warframe.market 2.0).

You verify your in-game account name for Warframe on warframe.market by following their instructions that you can see on the page you got redirected to. They will tell you to:
visit warframe.com ,
go to the forum,
warframe.market has a bot there called WarMarketMan – you have to compose a message to that bot saying exactly what their instructions say and after a short while hopefully you will be verified and can move along to use their amazing service to gain some nice in-game platinum without having to pay any real-life money if you don’t want to :)

Before you post an order – go to warframe.market’s marketplace and search for the item to find out what the current prices that are published are, that way you can adapt your price after the current market and economy of the game as well as to your own preferences.

My philosophy when pricing items on warframe.market is usually based on how quickly I’m in need of platinum – or if I have time to wait. Patience can pay off on warframe.market because a lot of people sometimes add items way too underpriced and the best thing then is to move onto another item to focus on selling and wait them out because sooner or later they usually run out of items. Their loss that their price was majorly underpriced – usually however they don’t care.

If however you have time to wait for platinum and not in dire need of it right away – then you have the option of adding an item for the price you yourself deem a worthy price for the particular item you try to sell – sometimes the people trading in the market is just completely duped into adapting their prices wrongly based off of someone putting up way to underpriced items (or overpriced ones – but then it’s often good for your economy instead of bad :P). This can often be detected if you analyze the 20-30 first orders of a specific item and see how the prices sway and sometimes if you do this – you will notice 5-10 first orders are batcrap crazy low, whilst from 11-100 orders price is in a completely different price range. But it’s ultimately up to you to make your own determinations and make a decision you feel comfortable and happy about :)

If I want to sell things quickly I usually put 1-2 platinum below the current marketprice since it doesn’t usually make that much of a difference, but if you notice very competitive price-changes for a specific item, try putting 3-4 plat below the price if you really need quick platinum and want a quick sale. Although have it as a Rule of thumb to NEVERput items up on warframe.market for prices 2 platinum or below… it’s simply not worth the time or the amount of trades you have available in-game!

You add “orders” on the Marketplace tab at the bottom left by entering item name, quantity (if a mod they ask for its rank) and what price you wish to sell it for. Once completed it will be officially published to the warframe.market trading platform and you can review your post as well as edit them under the “My Orders”-tab.

Once the verification of your in-game warframe account is complete and you want to start adding orders for your marketplace, you can see a orange circle in the bottom-right corner saying “Place order”. Press this and the following “popup” will show:

You select whether you wish to place order to sell or to buy, write the name of the item to trade – once you start typing their auto-complete function will kick in with suggestions (very useful – saves a lot of time and helps with hard-to-spell items), then you set a price per unit and how many units you wish to sell of that particular type – if a mod you can also set what rank the mod is.

Once an article has been added you can review it on “My Profile” menu alternative from the warframe.market homepage.

If you are like me have TONS of orders placed (I am Contributor of warframe.market so that I get to have unlimited amount of orders to place + I love the service they provide and want to help them improve it), they have a nifty Search function for your orders to quickly find the price of something if someone reached out to you asking the price (which I never will understand since they found my name right next to the price on the website? but whatever I guess xD). It has come in very handy for me a lot of times so far.

On your profile you can also find a cool “Sold” button on each of your orders which will help track the amount of platinum you have collectively sold items for via Warframe.market.

Another great thing about this feature is the fact that if the order is for a Mod that you have multiple duplicates of, pressing the “Sold” button will automatically
