Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Nova | Rust Coathigher 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 | $12.53 | $8.17 (Buff163) | +53% |
| Minimal Wear | $8.30 | $6.51 (Skinport) | +27% |
| Field-Tested | $6.16 | $3.54 (SkinBaron) | +74% |
| Well-Worn | $5.65 | $3.27 (Buff163) | +73% |
| Battle-Scarred | $5.32 | $2.93 (Buff163) | +82% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
