Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Classic Knife | Fadehigher 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 | $369.33 | $260.64 (Buff163) | +42% |
| Minimal Wear | $478.99 | $282.92 (DMarket) | +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Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.

About Classic Knife | Fade
