The CS:GO skin market is worth millions of dollars, and there are thousands of dollars in transactions on betting sites, markets, auction houses and other places every day. It starts very simple; players can earn drops by playing games, or pay keys to open boxes they get. But then they give these skins value and let players trade them on the Steam market, and the rest is history. The game skin market creates an economy that is more important than the in-game economy.
Many factors determine the value of the skin. What kind of weapon is it, what is its wear level, how rare it is, which professionals use it, if StatTrak is on it, what is it like, etc. The quality or wear and tear of a gun determines its value, starting from the lowest value in the “war-scarred”, and through “wear and tear”, “field-tested”, “minimum wear and tear” and “new” upgrades. StatTrak is a feature of some skins. It places a total kill counter on the weapon, and its existence will automatically increase the value of the skin.
This list of variables resulted in some very expensive CS:GO skins with very high asking prices. We will look at some of the most expensive skins currently available and their sources. In this article, we will look at the skins listed on Steam, the fees people are asking to pay for them, and where buyers and sellers meet in the middle. We will also abandon non-serious listings (for example, people asking for a badly worn Desert Eagle skin at a price of US$300, asking for a price of US$1,300).
The Fire Serpent skin was launched in the early days of CS:GO in 2013 as part of the Bravo operation. The Bravo Action Box was the first skin box introduced as part of the action, and it is still one of the rarest and most valuable boxes. In the Steam store, the Operation Bravo box sells for about $50 and contains other expensive skins, such as the P90 emerald dragon and the AWP graphite skin.
Currently on the Steam market, the Minimal Wear Fire Serpent is priced at US$1,852.58, and more than 1,500 users have requested to buy it at US$1,26.51 or lower. In June 2021, three Minimal Wear Fire Serpents were sold for at least $1,800, so for an active seller, he does not have to significantly reduce the asking price, or even not at all. There is no Factory New Fire Serpents on the Steam market, but it can be purchased from third-party websites such as CSGO Stash for $4,200.
The Lightning Strike skin was introduced as part of the first weapon box, aptly called the CS:GO weapon box. At present, the value of the protective case itself is 54.97 US dollars, which also contains high-value skins such as Case Hardened AK-47, making it the most expensive protective case.
At the time of writing, there are nine public lists for AWP’s new StatTrak Lightning Strike skin. The cheapest is $1,000 and the highest is $1710.97. Recently, several models are priced between US$1,000 and US$1,200, with the shocking exception being the unexplainable price of US$28.66 on June 17. The person who bought at that price turned over to earn $1,000 in an instant, and the person who sold it must be blaming himself.
Compared to all other CS:GO skins, knives are by far the most popular item. If you follow the scene long enough, at some point you will see the player or the anchor become very energetic after winning a knife out of the box. AWP and AK-47 have a general/basic appearance, and you can buy them for less than $0.50. The cheapest knife, the UV Navaja knife (war-scarred) is priced at $69.
In fact, there are several knives listed on Steam, the most expensive of which is about $1850. Therefore, as a deciding game, we will hand it over to the highest requested price of $1,434.35, which is the Tiger Tooth Butterfly Knife (minimum wear and tear). This knife can be found in Spectrum or Spectrum 2 Case. You can buy it for less than a dollar, but the chance of getting the knife is very low. However, if you buy a StatTrak version, such as AK-47 Bloodsport or USP-S Neo-Noir, these boxes have some weapons worth at least $100.
Custom skins for full-body characters called Agents were introduced in Operation Broken Web at the end of 2019. Agents have their own rarity levels, starting from outstanding, to outstanding, outstanding, and master. Although their prices are almost different from weapon skins, if you find yourself rare, you can still make a few dollars.
The most expensive agent skin is the Sir Bloody Miami Darryl skin, which is priced as low as $15.49. Darryl is the leader of an organization called Professionals, and his Miami clothing is the most valuable of all agent skins. Regarding his choice of wardrobe, the description reads: “This white hockey mask and floral shirt was very popular during his vice presidential period.”
Freelance writers mainly focus on CS:GO and VALORANT. Great dreams and bigger memes. I am too embarrassed to reveal his VALORANT level.
