How to Get Cases?

[76561199739790055]

I've noticed that some players have hundreds of cases in their inventory, which isn’t possible just from the weekly drops. I’d love to build up a similar collection to make my inventory look nice.

I’m not asking for free cases—just genuinely curious about how people accumulate so many. Are they buying them in bulk, trading, or using some other method? Any tips would be appreciated!

I would also be happily willing to exchange my cs2 playskin for that as well.

(This is NOT a trading post—just asking for information, so don’t ban me for no reason.)

It use to be different how drops worked. You use to be able to get several cases a week now you're limited to 1. So plenty of players that just sat on the game or bought in bulk a while ago when they were cheaper.

As said above they used to be a lot more liberal with case drops but chinese bot farms kind of killed any hope we have of that happening again

ig this definitely would have been relevant 2 years ago not now. Stop misguiding others.
and if that’s so, why do you keep asking other people to trade you their cases? Why not buy them in “bulk” from the community market?

Yeah, like, these were dirt cheap just two years ago, costing only a few cents. But now? They're ridiculously expensive—especially the CS:GO Case 1.

This honestly makes me more hesitant to invest (or waste) money on CS2 skins. I mean, people who bought hundreds of cases in 2022 are now making easy money from purchases that only cost them a few dollars. I’d feel like a total clown 🤡 buying what were once dirt-cheap items at these absurd prices.

(Same goes for crypto, agreed.)

But yeah, my point is—sure, someone might argue that property prices in the '90s were way lower, and now they're massive. I get that. But CS2 items and crypto are highly volatile and purely virtual, whereas property isn’t. Big difference.

At the end of the day, it’s up to you. But if someone wants to debate this, just answer this—are you okay with buying NFTs too?

idk which is the cheapest case, but there is a chance in the future you will say it was cheap today, and thats how it works, bigger the risk, bigger the upside
