Did you know that in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) there are skins, the cost of which can exceed the mark of 8 million rubles? Despite the lack of any technical or gameplay advantages, the skins market grew rapidly thanks to Valve's FPS after the developer invested heavily, hiring Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis in 2015 to structure the skins market. Thus, users can advertise and sell cs go skins in accordance with the requirements of the community.
The value of skins is determined by their rarity, which has 17 levels, from the most common (consumer level) to the rarest (exotic and contraband). They are available for sale on the Steam community trading platform or on other specialized sites (it is necessary to check the reliability of the site before buying a skin on it). Some of the most famous ones are CSGO Shop, Bitskins and CS GO Store. See below a selection of the most expensive skins in the history of the CS:GO market
TOP-5 most expensive skins in the history of CS:GO
- M4A1 Howl StattraK - US$130
The most expensive sale in the history of CS: GO – M4A1 Howl Stattrak, sold to a collector whose inventory is estimated at more than 9,6 million rubles! The skin also has four holographic stickers from the iBUYPOWER team, which further increases its price by this amount.
2. Karambit Case Hardened Blue Gemstone Knife - $130 US
The Karambit knife itself is an item worthy of the most demanding Counter Strike players. Combined with the Case Hardened Blue Gem skin (special blue skins included in the Case Hardened collection), it became one of the best-selling M4A1 Howl StattraK games in history. The blue gem collector owns the item and has already received larger offers to get rid of it.
- AWP Dragon Lore Souvenir - $65 USD
Dragon Lore skins are one of the most sought-after items in the CS: GO market due to their beauty and rarity, and this souvenir is no exception. An AWP skin from this most expensive collection was sold for $65. This is a souvenir from the ELEAGUE Atlanta Major 000, featuring stickers from teams Envy and fnatic, as well as pro player Dan "apEX".
- Karambit StattraK Crimson Web Knife - $50
The combined use of the Crimson Web skin and the StattraK kill counter increases the price of the luxury Karambit knife even more. An anonymous Chinese collector, the owner of one of the first karambits on which StattraK was installed, received an offer of $50, which was immediately rejected. According to sources, he is not interested in getting rid of the knife.
- AWP Dragon Lore Souvenir - $37 USD
Another Dragon Lore sold for an unimaginable price. In early 2020, a special souvenir PGL Major Krakow 2017 skin was sold for $37000. The item also featured stickers from teams Virtus.Pro, Team North and professional player Matias "MSL".
The Five-SeveN Blue Gem is a favorite among CS:GO skin collectors, and the version containing StattraK, an item that counts kills on the weapon's built-in display, makes it a luxury item. In 2016, one of these pistols went for over $7000 because it also contained the Team Titan holographic sticker used at IEM Katowice 2014.
