It’s time to find out how much you can make with your inventory in CS2. In CS2, you have several options for checking skin values. We’re going to show you these ways to do it.
Checking the Price of Your Skins Manually
You can check your inventory value on any of the sites that offer prices for C2 skins, including Steam Community Marketplace and third-party sites’ CS2 (CS:GO) inventory checker.
Also, you can do a quick Google search for your skin’s name and pattern, and you’ll get results from third-party calculators and sites that tell you how much your skin is worth. This method is good if you’re only comparing a few skins, but it won’t work if you have a lot.
Steam Tools
Steam tools let you calculate the total value of your inventory without making it public. Here’s how you do it:
- Go to Steam.tools
- Get your Steam ID
- Put your Steam ID in
- Click “Fetch”
- It’ll show your inventory value automatically
Third-Party Calculator
If you’re cool with making your inventory public, we recommend using a third-party calculator, especially if you have a lot of inventory. Here’s how.
The first step is to make your inventory public so that you can enter it in the third-party calculator; here’s how:
- Log into Steam
- Choose “Trade Offers”
- Go to “Who can send me trade offers”
- Steam will display your trade URL
Since your inventory is public, all you need to do is visit your favorite calculator, enter the link, and click “Calculate” or a call to action. The calculator will automatically calculate your inventory price.
You shouldn’t take the price provided by a third-party calculator as definitive since it may not reflect your inventory’s real value. To get a better idea of how much your inventory is really worth, use different calculators and compare their results.
You can stick to these calculations if you’re just trying to determine your inventory’s worth and have no plans to trade or sell.
Checking and Comparing Skins’ Prices on Trading Sites
The best way to find out how much your CS2 skins are worth is to use trading sites. This is how you can find out what your CS2 inventory is really worth.
Let’s start by signing up at a trading site, and then, you just need to add the URL to your public inventory (trade URL), and the Steam inventory checker will tell you how much your skins are worth based on the market.
This method will give you a more complete idea of your inventory’s real value by comparing the prices from different marketplaces.
You’ll have to spend more time on it, but it’s worth it to discover what platforms pay the most for your skins and identify future arbitrage opportunities.
How is the Price of a CS:GO Skin Calculated?
Here’s everything you need to know about calculating how much your skins are worth. Below, you’ll find all the information you need about the details that influence skin prices in the game.
Rarity
The rarity of a CS2 skin is one of the most important factors that determine its price.
- Common – Consumer Grade
- Uncommon – Industrial grade
- Rare – Mil-Spec
- Mythical – Restricted
- Legendary – Classified
- Ancient – Covert
- Exceedingly Rare – Rare Special
- Immortal – Contraband
“Common” skins are the cheapest, whereas the ones at the bottom are the most expensive. The top ones are Contraband because they’re the scarcest.
Float
Float value, AKA wear and tear, heavily influences the value. Skins with lower float values are more valuable, and we can sort them into three categories:
- Factory New: 0.00-0.07
- Minimal Wear: 0.07-0.15
- Field-Tested: 0.15-0.38
- Well-Worn: 0.38-0.45
- Battle-Scarred: 0.45-1.00
The most valuable skins are Factory New. Because they keep most of the original features of the weapon, they are the best choice for buyers, collectors, and traders. It’s incredibly hard to get Factory New skins from opening cases, so they’re more expensive since you only have a 3% chance of getting them.
Pattern
A pattern’s rarity will affect its price. It’s more valuable if a pattern is rare. One of the rarest skins is Karambit Blue Gem, which is worth over $1.5 million dollars.
Then, if you have two skins with similar features but one with an exotic pattern, you can expect to sell it for a better price.
Finish
Finish style is another thing that determines a skin’s price.
The resistance to wear and tear of a weapon finish style determines its cost, so that factor heavily influences the final price of a skin in CS:GO (CS2).
Stickers
There will be a big price difference between a CSGO skin with a valuable sticker and one without. A skin with a highly valuable sticker, like HellRaisers (Holo) | Katowice (2014), for example, will increase the price of the skin. If the sticker isn’t rare and exotic, it won’t affect the price.
StatTrak
StatTrak skins are more expensive. Check out Steam Marketplace and third-party trade sites to verify if your skin is with StatTrak.
Souvenir
Souvenirs can increase a skin’s value just like StatTrack since they are of a limited, exotic quality and are only available for a very limited number of CS2 skins.
Conclusion
All you need to do now is get started and find out the price of your skins, especially now that you know what factors influence their value.
