Factors That Determine CS:GO Skin Prices

Here are the main factors that often affect the values of CS:GO skins:

Hard factors

The less often a skin drops, the more expensive it is

The lower its float value is, the higher the quality of the skin, so the higher the price

The more desirable the pattern, the more expensive it is

Rare skin versions like the StatTrak™ or Souvenir generally perceived as more expensive due to their rarity

Discontinued skins often lead to a steady growth in price

Soft factors

The popularity of the skin

How well the skin goes with other popular skins

Supply and demand

Stickers on the skin and the position of the sticker

Other personal preferences

To make things a bit easier, we have calculated the reference price based on the trade records on major CS:GO skins marketplaces for each CS:GO skin covered in this guide.

The reference prices calculated for weapon, knife and gloves skins in this guide have excluded the value of the stickers. But Souvenir AWP Dragon Lore skin is the only exception because it comes with pre-attached stickers when it’s unboxed and you almost never found this Souvenir version sold without any stickers.

For skins that have never been sold in the market or haven’t been traded for a while. The reference prices were determined based on the asking prices in CS:GO skins marketplaces or offers from interested buyers through a reputable middleman.
