Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Nova | Candy Applehigher 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 | $0.30 | $0.20 (CSGO.com) | +50% |
| Minimal Wear | $0.20 | $0.10 (SkinBaron) | +100% |
| Field-Tested | $0.19 | $0.11 (CSFloat) | +73% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
