Aha, it is actually pretty fascinating once you wrap your head around the float levels and trade contracts, so I might be convinced to part with a few more pounds.... I mean pence :cry:

I was hoping to sell something I 'crafted' in a trade up for a profit, but I seem to have a trade lock on my account for 15 days which is a spanner in the works!

Would be keen to pick your brains, I may have fallen down the rabbit hole.

What are your thoughts on third party sites for trying to find better prices/better floats for trade ups.

It looks like the only way to use them is to log in with your steam credentials, which seems like a bit of a red flag.

I use Skinport and it's totally legit and safe.

Although like anything online, make sure that the site is genuine and check the certificates are right in your browser.

Every now and again I revoke all my steam API keys and log ins just to lower the risk of any shenanigans as API scams are the most common way people lose skins these days.

If you do pick up anything nice and worth more than £50, set your inventory to private and only set it to public when sending or receiving a skin from Skinport. You'll start getting messages and comments on your Steam profile from scammers offering you crazy prices and the like.

Cheers for the advice, I've added you on Steam.

Finding I've spent as much time on the marketplace rather than actually playing the last couple of days!

Seconded for skinport. Have used many times and sell skins over £2k. (Yes the unboxing was lucky..!)
 
@kayone

Yeah I've given skinport a go and it seems decent for buying, as there is no buying fees.

Haven't tried selling on there yet due to the 7 day trade holds. Just messing about with cheap skins and trade up contracts.

The 7 days delay can be painful but people just reduce their costs to mitigate this if they're in a rush to sell and you'll find they gradually increase back up to the recommended sale price as the trade ban days get closer to 0.

This just got me super excited, but sadly it looks like the last news from the devs was back in February and seems like it's died :(

After latest FARCE of an update from valve for CS2, I wont be surprised if they come back or others take it over.

Valve have lost the plot and can only see $$$$ as an incentive for anything.

What an absolute joke of an update!

Oh wow, I haven't played in probably 6 months and just checked the latest update.

See they've still done absolutely nothing to combat the plague of hackers and smurfs in the game and are focusing solely on cosmetics.

Such a shame, Counter Strike is the perfect tactical team based shooter, but has just been ruined by the skin economy filling the game up with bots and hackers.

And that's coming from someone who's spent far too much on skins over the last few years :cry:

Their discord looks pretty active, looks like you can play this but have to go through some 'whitelisting' etc to get onboarded. I cannot be bothered at the mo!

CS2 is jus a disaster from the start, all they had to do was update the servers to 128 tick rate.

Yeah, at the end of CSGO the game was in such a good place overall.

There were a few small issues but nothing game breaking, but sadly now CS2 is just a shell of what once was a behemoth :(

Hopefully in a few years the game can mature but just such a shame.

That’s the last of my skins sold ready to get STALKER 2 when it comes out, so long partner!
