Rainy Day

I’ve been collecting skins for a few months and I want to start selling a few. I noticed that some go for way higher prices than others, even if they look similar. What factors influence resale value the most — is it float, pattern, or popularity?

There’s definitely more to it than just how the skin looks visually.

Several key factors drive the resale value of CS2 skins, including float value, pattern rarity, sticker placement, and popularity among pro players. One of the clearest breakdowns of these mechanics can be found at https://dmarket.com/cs2-wiki/ . It covers how float range affects visual wear, which can heavily shift pricing between Factory New and Field-Tested versions. Also, the wiki explains how certain patterns (like Fade percentages or Case Hardened Blue Gems) have niche markets that drive up value. Even stickers from major events can push a skin’s price significantly higher. You’ll also find guides there on how market demand changes during operations or updates. It's a great tool if you want to sell smart.
