Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Karambit | Freehandhigher 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 | $951.55 | $558.51 (Youpin (UU)) | +70% |
| Minimal Wear | $792.58 | $512.92 (Youpin (UU)) | +55% |
| Field-Tested | $724.50 | $483.38 (Youpin (UU)) | +50% |
| Battle-Scarred | $804.51 | $478.20 (DMarket) | +68% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
