Escape from Tarkov Flea: Buy the Raid, Not the Museum
Tarkov flea market prices punish collectors. Buy what you will fire this raid, not a meta gun you are scared to lose.
Ammo and meds first
If you cannot buy the round that beats common armor, do not buy the gun that uses it. Tarkov fights are the round.
Meds and splints are cheaper than a failed raid that blacks a limb. Stock them before attachments.
Filter by the raid you will play
Factory kits are short and brutal. Woods kits need stamina and a sight. One flea cart for every map is how you overpay.
Sell what you will not run this week. Stash tetris is not an investment strategy.
Fee math is real
Listing a cheap item with a high fee is a donation to Fence. Check the fee. Craft instead if the flea is tax-only.
After a wipe, prices lie for two days. Scav and crafts beat panic buying every laser.
