Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists M4A1-S | Guardianhigher 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 | $104.39 | $75.08 (CSFloat) | +39% |
| Minimal Wear | $39.52 | $26.68 (SkinBaron) | +48% |
| Field-Tested | $34.36 | $20.75 (LIS-SKINS) | +66% |
| Well-Worn | $29.12 | $21.00 (CSFloat) | +39% |
| Battle-Scarred | $29.26 | $22.21 (CSFloat) | +32% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
