A CS: GO karambit costs more than 500% more than one in real life

[Uncle Sweetshare]

I was looking at a real karambit and I found one very similar same to the vanilla potrayed in CS: GO.

Turns out, after I did the math, it costs more than 500% less than the vanilla karambit in CS: GO.


Black Karambit: (Real Life)

Vanilla Karambit: (CS: GO)

Current Price: $209


Just goes to show people are more willing to pay for a knife and CS: GO than they are for one in real life.

Is that not already obvious?...

so what.

Well, if I buy a real one I can't use it to kill people IRL like I can in CSGO :v

Still though, I agree that the price for a virtual knife (which works just as well as the standard one) are just... outrageous. I would probably pick one up if they were, I don't know, 3 or 4 euros, but for that price I would NEVER buy it, and I question the sanity of everyone who does.

And they call Valve greedy for selling a pass for 5€ or so...

Not really, real knives can be pretty expensive too. A store near to where I live sells butterfly knives for 120€

EDIT:
Apparently knife skins are expensive IRL too :v

I rounded it, I came up with 522.5%, but market prices are always rising and falling.
