Any theories on why the market has been dropping nonstop over the past two days?

In less than a month, the market cap is down ~700 million USD.

At this rate we could easily see -1 billion towards the end of October.

I know this isn't a popular opinion but I actually think the market going down is great for the average player and future playerbase.

I'm not even talking about gloves/knives being more affordable but just play skins in general.

When I started playing CSGO back in 2014 I fell in love with skins and was very active in the collecting and trading scene and quite frankly, I wouldn't mind going back to 2015/2016 prices.

I firmly believe that skins should be something anyone can own and not just the rich.

Back in the day a karambit doppler would set you back 300$, before the knife tradeup update in 2025 a karambit doppler would set you back 3000$.

Don't get me wrong, 300$ is still a lot of money but it's definitely an achievable goal.

It's going to be interesting to see how far the market can go down in total, and hopefully some of you guys can buy things you always wanted to own before it goes back up.

This is just a casual discussion.

I think most of the people in this sub who are still actively in the market game would check csggoskins.gg on a regular basis right?

I'm not actively in the market anymore and just update my float stall like once a month to get rid of the last about 1k€ worth of shit I still have, mostly stickers.

This post isn't relevant, It's not about my opinion and I'm not asking you guys for a reason of why I or anyone should come back. I won't.

I'm just genuinely curious. Checking any random item on csgoskins, it is easily observable that the supply of EVERY SINGLE ITEM has either tripled if not quadrupled ever since exactly 1 year ago. Some of them even multiplied by 10. Trend still going upwards with no end in sight.

I can't quite look behind whether this sub is just a full circlejerk of trolls feeding "reasons" to the brainrot people that come here with no clue to minimize their loss by getting other people to take nonsense decisions and buy shit that trolls want to sell with smaller loss.

Let's face the facts here.

Markets have been separated. China, US, EU.

Valve doesn't want third party sides and is continously pushing updates to make them more worthless or a higher risk to use.

Supply has multiplied on all platforms

Playercount is the lowest in like 2,5 years

The world is turning to shit and everyone has less money. No end to that in sight either. Quite the opposite actually.

The game gets no support and this won't change. Only reason it's alive is there's no alternative (yet).

Is there anyone here not a bot, thinking of themselves they're in their right mind, that actually expects to ever make reasonable profit with this market again? Or is everyone that is commenting "keep on doing that (talking down on the market) so I can buy" just trolling with a pathetic attempt of reverse psychology?

it's all downhill from here and that's not the market but the game as a whole. It is really beyond me, that anyone who is looking at the actual numbers is still positive about the market.

You can have hopes for the game on its own, I would still get that, but expecting the market to "recover" within a timeframe where this game won't become irrelevant anyways is nuts in my eyes.

it just all looks like this sub either contains 90% mentally ill people or is run by bots and trolls ill advising teenagers to buy into trash...

If you're on the fence of getting in, don't be a retard please. if you buy skins, do so because you want to. Don't make the morons here lure your naive brain in to bad decisions. The era is over.

Whenever random stuff like this happens it’s usually someone with insider information doing things early and it’s a sign valve is gonna nuke / kill the market soon even more

help an old cs player guys.

do you think holding glove, spectrum 1 & 2, chrome 1 & 2 cases is a good idea? i fucked up not selling them 2-3 months ago. i thought their prices will continue to go up after these fluctuations because these cases no longer drop(?) but it constantly went down, i didnt follow the market and i completely quit checking them after leaving at sell order

The prices of some Cologne stickers are already being manipulated. Ryu paper is now for $1.30.

I’m looking for tools or systems that can gather prices from multiple skin/crypto markets, track price history, and automate repricing.

What do you guys use to make your trading faster and easier?

I’m willing to pay for good information, software, or even a setup/workflow if it actually saves time. Any recommendations?

I bought for 700 it’s 600 ???

Hi guys,

I want to sell a higher priced item (around 850 on CSFloat, 1350€ on Community Market) and compared to CSFloat I will get quite a bit more when selling on Steam Market. I was thinking about doing this and getting a Steamdeck and selling that through eBay or locally.

I just wanted to check if it is still possible buy a Steamdeck (or other hardware) from balance I have in my Steam account? Is there a wait time before I can buy after selling the item in the Community market?

Yo,

sorry if the question is stupid, I have not been in the game for a longer while as I started cashing out shortly after the recover of the trade up update and just have about 1200€ left in stickers left that I'm trying to get rid of.

this week, amongst other trades, I've sold 2 x 3 astralis antwerp glitters to the same buyer. Why is this worth a post u say as it's fuckin 4€ or something? Yes that's exactly why.

This guys has a butterfly, m9 and nocts in his inventory. So either I am not aware of some loophole or I just came across a full retard that seemingly risks his float account by reversing a 4€ trade? I couldn't assume account hijacking here because whoever would hijack an acc wouldn't fuckin waste their time buying 6 antwerp glitters...

Is it in my interest to report the reversal to csfoat asap or do I just let it run out?

Thanks for your advice my friends.
