Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Nova | Rising Sunhigher 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 | $6.02 | $3.76 (CSFloat) | +60% |
| Minimal Wear | $1.50 | $0.91 (CSFloat) | +65% |
| Field-Tested | $0.66 | $0.41 (CSFloat) | +61% |
| Well-Worn | $0.57 | $0.36 (DMarket) | +58% |
| Battle-Scarred | $0.54 | $0.33 (DMarket) | +64% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
