Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Tec-9 | Citric Acidhigher 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 | $0.23 | $0.13 (CSGO.com) | +77% |
| Minimal Wear | $0.08 | $0.03 (SkinBaron) | +167% |
| Field-Tested | $0.05 | $0.01 (Youpin (UU)) | +400% |
| Well-Worn | $0.05 | $0.01 (Youpin (UU)) | +400% |
| Battle-Scarred | $0.05 | $0.01 (CSGO.com) | +400% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
