Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists SG 553 | Heavy Metalhigher 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 | $1.47 | $1.10 (Buff163) | +34% |
| Minimal Wear | $0.39 | $0.24 (CSFloat) | +63% |
| Field-Tested | $0.48 | $0.27 (Buff163) | +78% |
| Well-Worn | $0.31 | $0.18 (Buff163) | +72% |
| Battle-Scarred | $0.31 | $0.16 (Buff163) | +94% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
