For Germans, Gamescom 2018 has a nice advantage. They can sell the exclusive sprays for Fortnite on eBay, but the gold rush is already over.
Some who have just come from Gamescom in Cologne seem to go to eBay first. However, the eBay zenith for the exclusive spray from Fortnite has already passed.
Battle Pass brings spray: The Fortnite developer, Epic, has come up with something special for Gamescom 2018.
Players can fill out a small analog battle pass on site. Those who complete three out of six challenges in the Epic area will receive an exclusive Fortnite spray, meaning a code that they can redeem in the game.
The highlight is probably a “zipline” that you can hang onto.
Just a few days ago worth $150
eBay “from Germany”: As the site dotesports reports, the first Gamescom visitors sold their sprays for outrageous sums on eBay just two days ago. At that time, Gamescom was only open to “industry visitors”.
On these days, the offers on the English-speaking eBay went up to $150. The lowest offers, the site writes, were at $80.
Many Germans seemed to be able to make a decent profit by listing their codes from Germany for high amounts. Of course, for them, the journey was not that far. Unlike players from England or even the USA, who hardly have a chance to travel to Gamescom themselves.
Offers now high, price not: However, if you look on eBay now, prices have already fallen significantly. Especially on German eBay, it seems that there is an oversupply of these sprays.
With the opening of Gamescom for everyone on Wednesday, the number of sprays has increased massively. Many sprays are now around 20€. Many sprays still have no offers at all.
How to still make money with the Fortnite spray?
Better sell abroad: Many of the offers for the codes still come from Germany. However, it would probably be advisable to offer the spray internationally and not just here. There’s a guide on eBay on how to create international listings.
However, it is unlikely that the spray will reach the values of this Magic card every time:
