| Wear | Steam Market | Cheapest Third-Party | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimal Wear | $1399.98 | $818.30 (Youpin (UU)) | +71% |
| Field-Tested | $1049.60 | $678.96 (Youpin (UU)) | +55% |

| Battle-Scarred | $1000.00 | $607.98 (CSFloat) | +64% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.

About Butterfly Knife | Case Hardened
