Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Nova | Tempesthigher 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 | $28.08 | $21.95 (Buff163) | +28% |
| Minimal Wear | $7.04 | $5.14 (Skinport) | +37% |
| Field-Tested | $7.47 | $4.81 (CSFloat) | +55% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
