Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Karambit | Black Laminatehigher 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 | $1167.64 | $705.00 (CSFloat) | +66% |
| Field-Tested | $1012.00 | $650.66 (CSFloat) | +56% |
| Well-Worn | $850.00 | $607.28 (Skin.Land) | +40% |
| Battle-Scarred | $1290.82 | $585.16 (Youpin (UU)) | +121% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
