Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists MP9 | Starlight Protectorhigher 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 | $129.08 | $87.09 (Buff163) | +48% |
| Minimal Wear | $95.23 | $64.65 (CSFloat) | +47% |
| Field-Tested | $88.56 | $61.41 (SkinFlow) | +44% |
| Well-Worn | $84.43 | $60.00 (DMarket) | +41% |
| Battle-Scarred | $85.75 | $57.55 (Skin.Land) | +49% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
