Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Butterfly Knife | Lorehigher 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimal Wear | $1290.00 | $905.00 (CSFloat) | +43% |
| Field-Tested | $901.51 | $593.00 (CSFloat) | +52% |
| Well-Worn | $883.78 | $525.45 (CSFloat) | +68% |
| Battle-Scarred | $779.03 | $475.00 (HaloSkins) | +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Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
