is opksins shutting down in a few days?

[Pridax]

Someone told me it does. is it true? And will it change the marked prices?

[fisken3]

Yes it’s true that OPskins is shuttingdown and not really sure if market prices will be affected.

[f1ed]

Yes, but it shouldn’t have a big effect on prices

OPSkins was told by Valve to stop using any CSGO-related operations and remove all CSGO-related images from their website by June 21st, yes.

Fortunately people are dumb and start selling skins cheap, allowing me to snipe a nice cheap AWP Medusa off OPSkins :3

It's not shutting down in a few days.

But in a few hours! ^ ^

The prices will drop a LOT for expensive skins like knifes and gloves but for cheaper skins under 10-15 dollars or so it wont happen much

Google would have answered your question within seconds. OPskins is not shutting down, but they will no longer be able to handle Steam game items as of Thursday:

mine was around $300, although they generally go for about $350 - $400 (used to be even $450-$500 back in the day but stabilized at a lower price over time)

From OPskins...

'While Valve says that the reason is ExpressTrade, we expect that this is yet another effort from Valve to drive sales to Steam Community Market. ExpressTrade is a non-commercial use of Steam bots since it is free. It is designed to benefit the community by allowing free and instant trades among friends. We understand that Valve has an interest in driving sales to SCM, however customers have clearly shown that it’s their choice to use OPSkins instead'




I don't believe its anything to do with valve wanting to drive sales to the market but too stamp out underage and illegal gambling. Express trade bypasses the 7 day hold and allows gambling to start again, something that valve must stamp out to keep trading alive.

Plus my take on this is that OPSkins keeps valve in even more money because people buy keys from valve, to trade or to open creates in the hope of getting a knife or expensive skin to sell on OPSkins. If valve wanted all funds then they would close down trading (just my guess).
