One of the most interesting features on the Steam platform is the ability to sell items on their marketplace. You can sell anything from in game items to Steam trading cards. In fact some of these items can be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. You might even have a few in your Steam collection that you didn’t realise were worth so much.
In this article we are going to take a look at how you can sell items as fast as possible on the Steam marketplace. Let’s jump in and get started.
What is The Steam Marketplace?
The Steam Marketplace is a place where users can buy and sell certain in game items such as skins, trading cards, emotes and other Steam based items. Steam users can make real money from selling their in game items which can then be used to purchase other games or items on the Steam store. Unfortunately there is currently no way to directly withdraw this money to your bank or Paypal.

Does Steam Have A Quick Sell Button?
No, unfortunately there is no way to instantly sell your items on Steam marketplace as it is peer to peer. This means that another Steam user will have to purchase your item. However there is actually a Chrome extension that allows us to activate a quick sell button on Steam allowing you to instantly sell.
The chrome extension is called Augmented steam. This extension adds two buttons to your your Steam Marketplace.
Quick Sell – Quick sell allows you to instantly undercut all listings for the same item on the market. This means you will be the cheapest item on the marketplace and therefore sell first. While this isn’t instant, it is the best way to get the most value for your items and still sell fairly quickly.
Instant Sell – Instant sell looks for the highest price buy order on the market and prices your item at that price. This means that your item will be instantly purchased by the buy order getting you your money instantly.
Let’s take a look at how to install Augmented Steam.
How To Install Augmented Steam On Chrome

- In your inventory click on the item that you want to sell. On the bottom right hand side you will see the two new Augmented Steam buttons; Quick Sell & Instant Sell. Just click on the option you want.
Clicking on quick sell will list your item at $0.01 below the cheapest on the market. If there is reasonable volume in the past 24 hours you will get a sale fairly quickly.
If you want to instant sell, click the instant sell button and the “Instant sale” amount will land in your account. Bare in mind that there is a Steam tax so you will receive slightly less than the selling price.
