| Wear | Steam Market | Cheapest Third-Party | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory New | $0.75 | $0.53 (Tradeit.gg) | +42% |
| Minimal Wear | $0.05 | $0.03 (Buff163) | +67% |
| Field-Tested | $0.04 | $0.01 (HaloSkins) | +300% |
| Well-Worn | $0.03 | $0.01 (Buff163) | +200% |
| Battle-Scarred | $0.04 | $0.01 (Buff163) | +300% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
