@@barsch07 With how Valve is doing things ... market will end up a place only for those rare/old things to buy and i disagree that this is still a strong market with alot of opportunities ! Opportunities getting fewer each year to the point of not worthing the hussle

I would agree that the opportunities are getting smaller for sure. Regardless I flipped my sapphire for some marble fades and made a pretty penny, operation skins I purchased are 2-4x in ~6 months and maybe some other things I haven't noticed. It's not a money making machine currently but I still feel comfortable keeping my money in this market.

@@ptreeNA I understand, for now ! Thats why i said will end up ! Renting will kill the need of people to buy skins, 4-5 months sticker sales will kill the need of people to buy stickers from the market ( aside those old few rares), having new case collections in the market like forever like Anubis will kill the future collections investment etc. Valve tries to take over and is aggressive on that. How this unfold, we will see but definitly is against us at all fronts. Opportunities will be there but way fewer

just waiting for my new gun with the next operation. They promised it before cs2 dropped and it's looking kinda dry out here

100x ? it was 7 cents and max price its peaked its like 1.60$ so like 22x max what 100x u talking about

not a big fan market wise but I'm glad valve did it. Probably going to make a video on it but I have to assume it's a response to lootbox bans not only in china but the continued discussion in EU and NA. Adding a renting option should absolve them of all wrongdoing which selfishly, is good for us

been a bumpy road the last year but I'm trying

@@ptreeNA You are meant to wait 20 years, not just 1. 19 years to go.

personally just waiting to see how things play out. csfloat is the frontrunner for western traders, gamerpay, skinport, buff market, new csmoney marketplace, skinbid and so on kinda lurk in the shadows and we can see if any of them make big moves to attract users. As for the discrepancy between western and chinese markets it's hard to say if/how it will play out as buff liquidity has gone down drastically in the last few weeks... I personally believe the impact will be minimal long term but leaning towards negative more than positive. Not having a united market hurts flipping high supply items for sure

love it

I personally don't see riptide stickers are "high risk" but maybe it would be good to take another look at them. I'd say you're in a pretty good position overall depending on the price you paid for the rox holos

@ptreeNA oh I was referring to the hello stickers as risky, the riptide stickers I feel are atleast a safe investment. I paid probably around 200 usd per rox (oof), but I feel like nothing fundamentally has changed about them, and this situation with basically 2 different markets going on could really squeeze the supply of certain items. Aside from that, Rox is probably also probably at its floor right now. I'm just really curious what happens with the whole buff situation

incorrect, the price of a case that share the same knives is not important. Look for example at the glove case, the only alternative is the hydra case, which is very expensive.

I think recoil first, then fracture. No other option

@@edwardhalim2163 why recoil first when it was added more recently?

​@@chocolates182 how does that argument hold up with Clutch case? Valve takes into consideration case openings and what makes them the most money. Recoil is opened less than Fracture. 50/50 between Recoil and Fracture imo

​@@bigcheeseroll284 Glove case is clearly an exception because it got removed before Valve had figured out their drop system the way they wanted it

I hope you get nothing but blues in your future

why not? the old collection already has souvenirs and if train gets added to the map pool after the next major it seems unlikely that they would scrap the new one without ever having souvenir drops. Not saying you're wrong, it's all just theory, but I would be surprised if we see a 3rd train collection

@@ptreeNA The last collection that got a souvenir package that doesn't have consumer grade skins was Cache I believe. This collection doesn't even have industrial grade skins. They would also make a ton more money from adding a 2024 Train Collection Package to the ingame store. I don't see a reason why Valve would want it that way.
