| Wear | Steam Market | Cheapest Third-Party | Spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory New | $10.20 | $7.02 (Buff163) | +45% |
| Minimal Wear | $1.75 | $0.99 (Skinport) | +77% |

Steam takes roughly a 15% fee from the seller and balances can't be withdrawn, so a positive spread doesn't automatically mean arbitrage — it reflects the premium buyers pay for wallet-funded convenience.
