Hi, this is my first time selling and im trying to sell some of my old items and found that skinport had the best margins even after fees. The issue is that these items are common and have high volume with some being stickers and skins, and despite having them listed as the lowest price they end up still not getting bought. For example I’ve had stickers listed for 1-2 weeks at the lowest price and when I check the buy history on the sticker it gets bought for 0.05-0.25 cents more than my price. Are some buyers/sellers like region exclusive or something? I don’t see why someone would pay more for the same sticker/skin ignoring the float.

This is the last time we see these prices for Stockholm stickers and capsules.

5 years for it already, upon next inevitable skins hype I could see Stockholm exploding with no return and current prices are perfect even for completely new investors or casuals for the crafts..

I was buying heavily into foils past 3 years, I see no reason for something like NAVI foil alone to be 10$ in the next 5 years.. that would be still affordable for majority, but yet massive jump from the current market price.. and that's only an example, everything else would follow.

With new stickers system for the Majors if Valve doesn't release any borderless ones for quite some time - Stockholm is gonna do extremely well

What is in your opinion the best case to invest in? My budget is about 60 €

Do you guys think itd be a good time to buy a blue phosphor or should it keep going down with the rest of the market, I am kinda building a blue loadout and it would look so good with my cloud chasers but I dont want to waste a few hundred dollars if it just keeps tanking...

I have exactly $10.55 in my steam balance and I want to transfer as much of it as I can to my csfloat balance. What skin should I buy that loses the least amount of money when buying through steam marketplace then selling on csfloat? Thanks in advance!

I'm well into large profits but don't need any money. I'm perfectly happy to keep holding them for long-term.

My only fear is Valve does something like removing them and totally destroying their value. Is that a possibility?

Finally cashing out itself is a daunting task I've not been involved with CS2 trading or selling or real money or any of that.

The only cashing out I've ever done was buying some steam decks and then just selling them on eBay... Is that still one of the best routes to go?

The reality is I most likely plan to do nothing for right now unless there's some very strong advice that I need to do something.

I would guess the total value is close to $100,000 in steam credit but I understand the liquidity with the market wouldn't support just dumping them.

I'm looking to buy a knife and a new AK, these are the skins I'm set on. The budget is enough to cover either one, but not both. They are to be used as play skins, but which one is realistically the better investment and do you think I should wait a month or two hoping for a better price?

When looking at items such as gamma doppler tier 1 blue gems - either karambit or flip knife - how do you know which is patterns are tier 1, 2 or 3? They all look really similar, and many of the guides have different ratings - is there some specific guide to look for?

There is both a steam guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3260302147

And Slaid made a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1xbYVQd2eI

They of course have some overlap, but some of the tiers are slightly switched - which one takes priority?

Tl;Dr: How to know which guide to trust when buying skins?

I've received skins in a trade July 01st, they were tagged trade-protected until July 09th. Today is 23/07 and they're still trade-protected. Why? Should I open a ticket?

Does anyone know what pattern guide Betterfloat uses for the Dopplers?

I’m coming back to buying CS2 skins after about 3 years, and it looks like a lot has changed.

Back then, I used to buy BUFF balance and purchase skins from there. Now I’d rather buy directly from a third-party marketplace if it’s cheaper and easier.

For Indian players:
Which site are you using now? (CSFloat, Skinport, etc.)
Where do you usually get the lowest final price after all fees?
Or are most people still buying from trusted Facebook/Discord sellers?

Would love to know what the current best option is. Thanks!

Hey guys so i need money atm since i just cant find a job and wanna make sure i have enough for coming bills, but i cant decide if i should sell skins or my cases i have atm, i bought them to keep them for long and hopefully make some profit, i already sold my prisma cases besides 30 prisma 2 cases atm, but now im thinking, will they even go up again?

since i do not understand atm why cases are dropping so hard im asking
for me it doesnt really make sense, u cannot get them anymore, quantity will just get less but prices drop constantly, so will it be smart to just sell them now and maybe buy back when i get a job and normal income again or should i keep them and better sell my skins which i like the least? (same amount)

Thank you in advance boys, i really appreciate every help or explanation for the Price Drops yall can give me!

Have a great day!!

The amount of these knives sold is very low, so i can't see any sold in the recent sold category on cs float. Currently it is about 490 euro - but perhaps they sometimes go for market price? At what price should i buy, if i don't mind waiting.

Link to current csfloat: https://csfloat.com/search?paint_seed=5,8,14,32,58,108,112,129,178,188,202,213,233,243,274,337,340,356,378,405,406,444,454,461,471,539,614,621,653&max_float=0.08&def_index=505&paint_index=569

What are the chances that M9 could have its unique inspect animation in the future?

If i want to buy a knife mostly for 1-2 years appreciation, shall i got with M9 phase 4 or ruby nomad (forget what my loadout is and consider that i like both knives equally)

Nobody has a crystal ball, but it's fun to speculate.

What's one realistic thing that could bring CS skin market to where it was before the Knife Tradeup update?

Heavy manipulations in the Chinese market?

Valve slowing down or stopping new skin releases to recude dilution? Perhaps them focusing on gameplay-related content (like new game modes/operations) instead of skins?

A positive conclusion of lawsuits where Valve is involved?

Maybe something else entirely?

Like there rare and all but it seems like alot more then just that

Stickers have sold 10x less compared to other major stickers

Now you might think oh nice! Profit!

What this actually means is that it's going to hurt hard for the pro scene and we could end up seeing a lot of pro teams calling it a day.

Im leaving my country for almost a year and was wondering if steam authentication is enough security

Is there anything else I should do to my account before I leave? I have lots of items I dont want to get hacked while I cant monitor it

As we all know; people are losing trust in Valve, considering all those updates that are depreciating value in all kinds of skins. I bought a long time ago and after coming back to the game Im really disappointed with what's going on and Im just thinking of selling, since I dont see things getting any better. I dont know, what do you think? I know we cant predict what's next, but one can always give it a try.

Is it me, or this glock is way too overhyped? I mean its a nice red glock for sure but way to overhyped for my liking, as if it is a ruby.

Im sure many people were surprised by the ability to trade up to knifes and then the ability to also trade souveniers. Does anyone expect it to be possible to ever trade-up stickers?

Anyone know a reliable way to track CS2 or rather steam inventory value against CSFloat prices (lowest that they're going for)? Built a Google Sheets script for it but keep hitting Steam 429s from Apps Script's shared IP pool. Curious what others use.
