Less than 0.05 ETH to spend

With a starting budget of 0.05 ETH or less, do not expect huge overnight sales, you need to prepare yourself for a patient struggle, with subtle hints of HODL. But with patience and discipline you can earn enough to move up to higher budget trading.

1) The first rule of a budget of this size, is you should rarely breed your cats if ever, the 0.008 breeding fee is near 20% of our total budget, and is an incredibly high risk gamble for us.

2) Prepare to invest a lot of time into researching cats and the market, with a budget of this size we really have to be ready to spot the bargain gems amongst the strays.

3) Gas prices are super important to us. On high gas price days the fees would cripple our potential spend. I often refer to https://ethgasstation.info/ and it's google plug-in to keep track of gas. I would stick to a rule of not spending over 5 gas per transaction, if this is suggested to take hours to complete on gas station, it may be worth using your time to research cats more before making your initial purchases.

4) Keep an eye out for competitions, giveaways etc amongst the CK community, some don't require purchase to take part in. Be sure to join the cryptokitty discord and introduce yourself, active community members often receive gifts from others, and if you really do your research into the gene pool, you may even be able to strike a deal with a seasoned player to do kitty related work for them in return for sweet kitty rewards.

The Main markets i would target with a budget below 0.05 are:

Generation 1 Flipping: The floor for Generation 1 cats often drops below .007, which is less than breeding fee. This opens up an opportunity for us, with a budget of .05 we may be able to stock up on 5 or 6 Fast Gen 1 cats, which we have the potential to sell on for a higher price. The traits i would look out for in the generation 1 market are: Cats with recessive genes and mutations - see CKBox extension Cats with recently released traits - see CK Discord / Kitty.fyi Cats that look good, have old traits, have not yet been used in fancy recipes

Floor Fancies: Some fancy cats do price for under .05, however they are few and far between. If you are looking for a long term hold with a budget below .05, i'd suggest checking out the floor prices for some fancy cats, a live list can be found here: https://blog.kotobaza.co/price-stats/ These may not rise immediately, but historically most fancy cats have risen in price as time passes. This not a quick flip option, but a cute looking cat that could see long term gains.



5) I would avoid the general kitty floor cats as options to flip, after gas fees you won't be making much profit if any by buying cats at .002ETH and listing at .003ETH
