CSGO market overprice ??

[JEN]

I recently get back to play CS after some years and wanted to buy a cool knife. But damnn, these things are way too expensive then before. last time i checked, I could get a shadow dagger or a gut around 50 USD, some even cheaper. But now every knife starts at 150 , and all M4s starts at 20 or something. I regret selling my stuffs back then since I can't afford to buy them back and enjoy. What happened to these skin prices? is it because of CS2 update?

I’ve been playing since 2016, and yeah, the prices have gone crazy, but it makes sense.
CS2 brought a ton of hype, more players, and better-looking skins, which naturally drove up demand. On top of that, a lot of older cases aren’t dropping anymore, so those skins are getting rarer. Plus, some people treat skins like investments now, buying them up expecting prices to rise even more. Throw in things like trade restrictions and even outside factors like crypto influencing the market, and you’ve got today’s insane prices. It sucks for anyone trying to buy back their old skins, but at this point, it’s just how the market has evolved."

If you're just starting to get back into skins, YouTube is a good place to look. A lot of YouTuber's entire accounts are revolved around budgets and such. Slaid is a pretty great channel to checkout if you haven't.

I see. That must have been it. Looks like the community also created it's own mini Wallstreet. And thanks for the info. I'll check out those Youtube channels you suggested.

Many things have become expensive cuz of high demand. But you can offer your desired price and wait until you get lucky.
