| Wear | Steam Market | Cheapest Third-Party | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory New | $20.60 | $16.80 (CSFloat) | +23% |
| Minimal Wear | $2.44 | $1.38 (Skinport) | +77% |
| Field-Tested | $1.50 | $0.93 (CSFloat) | +61% |
| Well-Worn | $1.16 | $0.78 (DMarket) | +49% |
| Battle-Scarred | $1.00 | $0.70 (Buff163) | +43% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
