Steam Market vs Third-Party Prices
The Steam Community Market usually lists Tec-9 | Groundwaterhigher 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 | $2.90 | $1.74 (Youpin (UU)) | +67% |
| Minimal Wear | $0.07 | $0.04 (CSFloat) | +75% |
| Field-Tested | $0.04 | $0.01 (Buff163) | +300% |
| Well-Worn | $0.04 | $0.01 (Youpin (UU)) | +300% |
| Battle-Scarred | $0.04 | $0.02 (CSGO.com) | +100% |
Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
