Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists AWP | Lightning Strikehigher 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 | $729.99 | $438.59 (CSFloat) | +66% |
| Minimal Wear | $857.50 | $510.67 (DMarket) | +68% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
