| Wear | Steam Market | Cheapest Third-Party | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory New | $9.09 | $6.25 (DMarket) | +45% |
| Minimal Wear | $3.00 | $2.06 (HaloSkins) | +46% |
| Field-Tested | $1.89 | $1.16 (CSFloat) | +63% |

| Battle-Scarred | $1.47 | $0.88 (DMarket) | +67% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
