| Wear | Steam Market | Cheapest Third-Party | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimal Wear | $1524.82 | $768.09 (CSFloat) | +99% |
| Field-Tested | $1283.87 | $710.00 (CSFloat) | +81% |
| Well-Worn | $1084.53 | $669.22 (Youpin (UU)) | +62% |
| Battle-Scarred | $1199.00 | $642.10 (CSFloat) | +87% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
