Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices

| Wear | Steam Market | Cheapest Third-Party | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory New | $1.03 | $0.58 (DMarket) | +78% |
| Minimal Wear | $0.05 | $0.02 (Buff163) | +150% |
| Field-Tested | $0.04 | $0.02 (Skinport) | +100% |
| Well-Worn | $0.03 | $0.01 (Buff163) | +200% |
| Battle-Scarred | $0.04 | $0.02 (Skinport) | +100% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
