Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists AK-47 | The Empresshigher than third-party marketplaces — but Steam sales keep the funds in your Steam wallet, while third-party sales can cash out. The spread below compares Steam's listing price with the cheapest third-party offer per wear.
| Wear | Steam Market | Cheapest Third-Party | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory New | $299.00 | $198.95 (CSFloat) | +50% |
| Minimal Wear | $157.29 | $97.38 (CSFloat) | +62% |
| Field-Tested | $137.01 | $94.36 (SkinBaron) | +45% |
| Well-Worn | $134.00 | $93.49 (DMarket) | +43% |
| Battle-Scarred | $130.50 | $93.25 (CSFloat) | +40% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
