| Wear | Steam Market | Cheapest Third-Party | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimal Wear | $1148.79 | $758.65 (CSFloat) | +51% |
| Field-Tested | $1000.00 | $699.60 (CSFloat) | +43% |

Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
