| Wear | Steam Market | Cheapest Third-Party | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory New | $0.23 | $0.14 (CSFloat) | +64% |
| Minimal Wear | $0.08 | $0.04 (Skinport) | +100% |
| Field-Tested | $0.03 | $0.01 (Buff163) | +200% |

Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
