Are GP Coin Barter Trades Worth It?

Recently, Battlestate Games celebrated their birthday by gifting all players a lot of in-game items including 100 GP Coins. This many coins beg the question what you should do with them coins. Because in-game gifts do not have the Found In Raid status you cannot sell them on the Flea Market. This leaves you with only two choices:

• Sell the GP Coins to the trader, Therapist, for roubles OR
• Use the GP Coins for barter trades offered by the traders

But, which option is better? Lets review them both.

Selling GP Coins To The Traders

Therapist loves GP Coins and will offer the best price for them compared to the other traders. She pays 21,480 Roubles for each GP Coin. Thus, 100 GP Coins sold for 21,480 Roubles each would earn you 2,148,000 Roubles. At this point you may be appreciating the birthday gift quite a bit more. But, could you earn more if you traded them for barter items and sold those?

What Should You Do With GP Coins?

If you are only interested in earning as much Roubles as possible, then your best option will be to utilize the Mechanic LL3 barter trade for the GLOCK 17 9×19 pistol Fischer and sell it right back to him. At the cost of two GP Coins you can use this trade 50 times. This will earn you 2,258,850 Roubles. Unfortunately, there is a trade limit and global limit on this barter trade so it may take some time to use all 100 GP Coins.

Alternatively, if you simply sold all 100 GP Coins to Therapist, then you will earn 2,148,000 Roubles right away. This is only 110,850 Roubles less than the GLOCK 17 9×19 pistol Fischer trades.

Finally, if you would actually use any of the barter items, then the trades may be worth it. The cost of the barter trades will be cheaper than if you assembled the weapons or gear yourself with parts from the Flea Market. Saving roubles can be just as important as earning them.
