How are skins worth over 5$ a piece
>>
It's because retards are willing to buy them for that price
>>
>>333783079

Because that's the price the market will bear.
>>
>>333783079
because people think that other people actually care about how they look. Same reason why designer clothing is so expensive.
In reality, noone gives a shit

because russians use them to launder money

Do you actually get paid or is it all go towards your steam account?

0.1% drop rates off $2.49 crate

It goes into your steam wallet.
>>
>>333785081
Steam wallet? Okay, I'll go read up on it myself, but thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Genuinely curious on how it works, but I figured you getting paid via PayPal or something like that was unlikely as hell.

>>333785375
There are some sites where you can trade in your csgo skins for paypal cash.
>>
>>333783079
Valve creates false supply limits so demand will inflate prices.

I will just assume you don't know this but appearance is everything.. From yourself in public to a store in the publics (customers) eyes. Now of course real life is different but it transcends into Internet as well. Looks are important..

What makes a difference is the people who truly don't care how they look.. Or how others look.. But that's something that's rare

Fuck you kid.

Why $5?

What's so magical about $5 that it's the objective line that shouldn't be crossed?
nothing
For another anon, the limit could be $1
For another, it could be $0.05
For another guy, it could be $100

You can't just draw a line and expect it to work for everybody. If you truly objected to it, then even one cent would be too much money.
>>
>>333785901
Exactly, which is how >>333783993 is made possible. This is why I dislike any type of ingame purchases in online games. The market is always manipulated very easily, so it's not usually worth bothering to buy or sell anything for the average player.

What's wrong with your head?

>if you buy things ever this means you would buy things at any price
That's not at all what I was saying. Anything is worth what someone will pay for it. Just because you wouldn't pay $5 for it doesn't mean someone else wouldn't. There's nothing special about $5, it's just some number you pulled out of your ass to use as some kind of principle.

>>333783079
Anything and everything can form an economy around itself.
The whole barter and trading thing is just so deeply ingrained into us.
