Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Karambit | Lorehigher 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 | $1725.00 | $1152.19 (CSFloat) | +50% |
| Minimal Wear | $1223.52 | $803.12 (Youpin (UU)) | +52% |
| Field-Tested | $918.32 | $549.83 (Skinport) | +67% |
| Well-Worn | $852.93 | $518.83 (Buff163) | +64% |
| Battle-Scarred | $783.78 | $461.79 (CSFloat) | +70% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
