Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Butterfly Knife | Freehandhigher 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 | $954.50 | $646.53 (CSFloat) | +48% |
| Minimal Wear | $938.02 | $595.10 (CSFloat) | +58% |
| Field-Tested | $868.03 | $549.32 (CSFloat) | +58% |
| Well-Worn | $903.68 | $535.00 (CSFloat) | +69% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
