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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimal Wear | $1422.57 | $775.91 (Youpin (UU)) | +83% |
| Field-Tested | $869.24 | $543.76 (LIS-SKINS) | +60% |
| Well-Worn | $816.50 | $521.00 (CSFloat) | +57% |
| Battle-Scarred | $689.21 | $471.80 (LIS-SKINS) | +46% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
