Skins are the same items everywhere: an AWP | Asiimov (Field-Tested) on Buff163 is the same AWP on CSFloat. Yet their prices are rarely the same, and the difference is often bigger than the fees.
Why prices differ
- Different buyers: some marketplaces are mostly Chinese, some Russian-speaking, some Western, and each crowd values items differently.
- Different money: balance on some sites can only be withdrawn at a discount or not at all, so prices there run higher.
- Different fees for sellers, which sellers pass on in their prices.
- Different speed: on a quiet marketplace, old listings stay up long after the price moved elsewhere.
How to compare quickly
The prices table shows the lowest listing of every item on 20 marketplaces, refreshed every hour. Tick the marketplaces you can use, search for an item, and the cheapest one is highlighted. Sort by most popular to see the items that sell the most.
Buy low, sell high, across sites
The simplest trade is buying where an item is cheapest and selling where it is priced highest. Account for both marketplaces' fees, the cost of moving money between them, and any trade hold, which keeps you from reselling right away. For anything at scale, pull the numbers from the price API instead of reading them off a page.
