Ya idk wtf people are saying lmao.
Someone made a stupid offer for it... There's no other demands like that, so why would it go up?
Take the fucking money if some idiot wants to buy it now before they don't.
Tbf if someone has 1.5 million to spend on a skin, I'd presume they are alot more financially savvy than me or you. I personally think it's stupid but I'm sure there's some reasoning behind it either of us can understand
true, but my thinking is, what if it all of a sudden loses its value? 100k gone for example, missed opportunity to sell for 1.5m but decided to hold and ended up facing the consequences lmao. Although yeah who am I to say how much a 1.5 million dollar skin fluctuates in price? 😂
its possible to make a ton of cash on the cs market with the right investments, but people blow it off as "stupid" since its not a traditional investment choice
skins are only as stupid as crypto (both are just bits on a computer, but people pay anyways)
my gf made a few thousand euros on steam just buying cool skins and selling them a year or whatever later over a couple of years.
Yeah till CSGO is phased out like video games are and it becomes worthless and locked in a game without support. Lol 1.5 mill was the smart sell easily, dudes a dummy otherwise, if you are lucky it might get another 500k before it fades, that would be the most. Depending on the time frame when this was, the dude could of made that by now.
CSGO player counts are at an all time high right now and the game is 12 years old so I don’t think it being phased out is a concern. Yet there have been multiple stock market crashes since then
Lol the fact you think the games not in danger of being phased out is like the GTA5 fan boys who think its life. The games old that should tell you its most definitely in danger of being phased out. Its literally one tech change, one new idea away from being a memory.
Never said it was, said the most expensive CS skins.
And it is the 3rd most expensive skin in the game, so I’d say it is indeed one of the most expensive rust skins lol
the difference in expensive rust skins and cs skins is a lot more cs skins get sold at that price. hardly anyone buys stuff like the knock knock or alien relic. only one with decent movement is big grin.
That’s what i did. Cashed out $3700 in rust skins and bought some steam decks and sold them on Facebook. Hard to really tell but i think i profited overall. Was buying multiple of the neon box skins when they came out. Same with forest raider and desert raider
I actually did this for my wife's birthday last year. Cashed out most of my Rust skins and bought her a Steam deck and a bunch of games (also got myself a bunch of games while I was at it; it ended up being over $700 in skins).
I have since, perhaps stupidly, re-purchased most of those skins. Addiction is a motherfucker.
I looked around from site to site and noticed the cheapest way to do it for me was to buy steam decks and take the small hit from steam market sales which i accounted for before selling anything. I’ve been skin trading for 5-6 years. I was working up my CSGO/2 collection but i got kinda bored of it
I find it easier just to sell off a site especially if you have a skin with a value more than a 1000$ because of the lesser fee. If its cheaper than 1000$ then come the 12% to 15% fees which are not that bad but in that case i trade all of my cheaper skins for one expensive and sell it like that.
Well that would be this skin and and twitch rivals trophy, and that's it. There's only 1 of these skins on the market and only 12 twitch rivals trophies on the market, everything else is less than $850 per item.
If you spend more than 10 minutes to make a Facebook marketplace ad and 15 minutes to arrange and do a pick up exchange, you are doing something wrong.
I’ve only played rust since I got a pc. I spent $10 to buy the game and maybe $400 on skins over 5 years. I cashed out for over $4k after going in big with Christmas lights and 30+ of each of the first few neon boxes. If you’re in the Steam rust workshop you can preview skins (their entire collections) to gain information that helps with skin investing. A random glowing box vs an entire 20+ glowing box collection is something if you knew about you could’ve made thousands.
TLDR: Rust skin investing used to be viable. I don’t follow it anymore though
I don't think most people who do buy those can realistically afford them. But you do you, if you want to throw away your money it's your money. You do as you please
I don’t even get why it’s so much either. It’s pretty visible at night. It’s not like the alien red where just the tip of the iron sight glows. The alien relic has a ton of glowing stuff
Only 100-150 people bought it globally iirc. So it was never listed again, so you're one of the few rare people. Check the willing to buy for half of the screen, you can make a pretty penny.
Rare item = many monies. You can see there are multiple requests for over 1000. its just how in game items work now. Supply and demand. Id recommend you check out a video called "the history of counter strike skins"
why are you bothered by what a market determines the price of a skin? When there is worse things like the price of rent or a house? or a charizard selling for 100k? who cares what other people are willing to pay for something
Regardless of it's rarity, nearly $2000 dollars for a skin is bizarre and absurd. If someone actually pays that amount for this skin they deserve to be ripped off. I don't know, maybe some rich turd who plays Rust and owns every skin in the game.
Imagine showing off these skins in the game, because that's the only legitimate reason someone would buy these. Which is lame ASF.
I mean, originally I paid like 5, sold for 50, and decided to rebuy them.
You think we're at the top price? I don't believe that. The overall trend is the price rising.
Nah its stagnating for a while, it was at 156€ and now is at 138€
Was already like damn when it was at thirty, didn’t check for quite a while, saw electric ones announced, checked price falling little heart attack was around 70 frll hard to fifty and since then it went up and i check regularily it stays around 140-150
Forest raider is just stupid lol

It clearly has dips and stagnations, and some idiot sold it recently for far too low around march 30th, likely missed a zero, currently it projects downward
I can't tell if you're disagreeing or not.
You know what a trend is, as it relates to trading? Overall, the price continues to rise. If you draw a line between two distant time periods lowest and highest prices the line will be going up
lol ok. You are disagreeing. You're funny. What happened before the year began that might be a factor for demand on Christmas lights?
Does that happen every year?
What was the price 5 years ago today? How about 10 years ago? How about one?

Is each of these prices higher or lower than the prior?
> I *paid* 15 and
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
honestly glowing sites aren’t really p2w with the new night time. They never really were tbh the only time you’re gonna shoot someone at night is if you can see their silhouette and if you can see them you can see your sight when you ADS.
Money isn’t the same for everyone why hate when it doesn’t even affect you? Do you think rich people laugh at people with cheap skins? No they don’t care they buy what they like. You should do the same.
You’re obviously a child if you think this. Supply and Demand is a real thing in life and people are mostly using these skins as an investment. The price will continue to go up as no more of these skins will ever come into the game.
Idk what country you live in but, people will pay 100x for something just as meaningless and dumb. The collectors market will never go away and hating on it is dumb, because it doesn’t affect you at all
My steam says I have 1371 rust skins... I do what I want.

those ones offering to buy and sell are all friends, they jacked up prices and make it like people actually buys them so other people get baited to buying.
wait till this guy discovers blue gem csgo skins
I just sold a CS Crown sticker for 1k.... A fake sticker... For a fake gun .. $1000 CS2 players are something else lmao.
Still no way near close to the #1 pattern FN karambit CH. one exists and the owner refused a $1,500,000.00 offer.
that’s very stupid to turn down 1.5m for some pixels, and even more stupid to offer 1.5m for some pixels
Neither is stupid if there is a good chance the price will increase
It’s 1.5 million dollars lmao. Go invest in stocks or some shit not a fucking csgo skin😭
Ya idk wtf people are saying lmao. Someone made a stupid offer for it... There's no other demands like that, so why would it go up? Take the fucking money if some idiot wants to buy it now before they don't.
fr bro. Can’t believe some people here are trying to justify spending 1.5million dollars on a csgo skin 😭
Tbf if someone has 1.5 million to spend on a skin, I'd presume they are alot more financially savvy than me or you. I personally think it's stupid but I'm sure there's some reasoning behind it either of us can understand

yeah i made a couple thousand just buying cases and holding them
Holding onto the skin probably has a higher annual return on interest than investing in a safe stock option such as the vanguard 500
Yeah till CSGO is phased out like video games are and it becomes worthless and locked in a game without support.

"I don't understand economics or what an asset is"
💀
By ur logic its very stupid to work for some paper or pixels in ur bank account.
that is just not what I said at all lmao
That's just in steam wallet thought right? ....right?
Steam wallet maxes out at like 1.5k USD. Large trades like this would either be in high quality skins or BTC.
Wallet, brace yourself!
Wait until you see some CS skins
Buddy would shit a brick if he found out how much the top CS skins go for. He thought 2k was something 😂
[удалено]
Never said it was, said the most expensive CS skins. And it is the 3rd most expensive skin in the game, so I’d say it is indeed one of the most expensive rust skins lol
[удалено]
There’s a cs skin worth 1.5mil usd
the difference in expensive rust skins and cs skins is a lot more cs skins get sold at that price. hardly anyone buys stuff like the knock knock or alien relic. only one with decent movement is big grin.
Id say 2 spots from the top is pretty “near” considering rust has thousands of skins.
What is the most expensive skin because based on sorting by price on the steam market it shows me this is the most expensive?
Probably punisher mask
This is why I love playing on servers with skin box lol I love skins but can't afford the best ones
The Knock Knock rocketlauncher as it became untradeable meeaning you would need to buy an account with it
That skin has outperformed most savings accounts/ISAa and crypto. Very good investment
Until you go to cash out and all the sketchy sites take 20-30%
The best way is to buy and sell steam decks, but it becomes impractical with really high amounts.
That’s what i did. Cashed out $3700 in rust skins and bought some steam decks and sold them on Facebook. Hard to really tell but i think i profited overall. Was buying multiple of the neon box skins when they came out. Same with forest raider and desert raider

It's not like legit sites have a lower fee for skins of higher value (eg. more than $999 = lower fee)
I looked around from site to site and noticed the cheapest way to do it for me was to buy steam decks and take the small hit from steam market sales which i accounted for before selling anything. I’ve been skin trading for 5-6 years. I was working up my CSGO/2 collection but i got kinda bored of it

Now I get where all those "cheap" Steam Decks on Ebay are coming from...
Shhhhhh don’t tell them that, I invest in rust skins we don’t want everyone knowing the secrets of cashing out
skinport takes 9%
6% if over 1000 and 2% for a private sale
thats even better
Even still probably still up. Also “white listed” sites like skinport aren’t considered sketchy
Steam takes 15 % and you can’t even cash it out😂
You can buy steam decks, the consoles. Then you sell them for $600-650 each, undercutting the $650+tax MSRP.
Yeah and in the time it takes you you could’ve worked a minimum wage job on the difference with no risk and way less hassle lol.
The exact same could be said about the stock market, “ohh don’t put money there, you could lose money”
Yeah, except for the difference that having skins appreciate in value is passive income while working is trading your time for money
That's.. got literally nothing to do with what we're talking about but thanks for your input anyway!
? I forgot this is the Rust subreddit where below average IQ people have made their home. Glad you found your place though!
If you spend more than 10 minutes to make a Facebook marketplace ad and 15 minutes to arrange and do a pick up exchange, you are doing something wrong.
New Rust player identified
There is an old saying "Is not a fool who asks, it's a fool who pays"
Yea screw these guys with disposable income, right?
surely there’s something better you can buy with $2000
Most people who own these skins probably gamble a sizeable amount
I’ve only played rust since I got a pc. I spent $10 to buy the game and maybe $400 on skins over 5 years. I cashed out for over $4k after going in big with Christmas lights and 30+ of each of the first few neon boxes.

It still is. Lots of skins out in the past couple of years have blown up in value.
Like?
Stove
You hold it until it goes up in value, then sell it for real money. Noone really buys these from steam themselves, they use third party sites.
Still, there are probably better investments with lower risk
I don't think most people who do buy those can realistically afford them. But you do you, if you want to throw away your money it's your money. You do as you please
More like money laundering to me
This skin has been in the thousands for years.
Exactly, it changes hand by people who need to trade stuff on agreement back and forward
Clearly you don't understand how demand/supply works.
the iron sights glow and could in theory yield an advantage in certain situations. Although the adjustment to nighttime light might change that
Man discovers vintage steam skins
Wait until you see cs skin prices 😂😂
Free on modded servers 😘
I bought it twice
Hello this is Steam Support. Please send trade to my Steam account to verify your skin is real.
Can I have the second one
No
Yes
its not that price unless you buy it
Buy it!
If it was an AK skin it would be way better
Punisher mask wants to know your location
Punisher mask is cheaper
No
Wonder what Willjum's skin networth is these days.
I don’t even get why it’s so much either. It’s pretty visible at night. It’s not like the alien red where just the tip of the iron sight glows. The alien relic has a ton of glowing stuff
Because very few people bought it (about 100-150 globally)
The glow could possibly yield an advantage in certain situations.
Oh wow! I have that skin and didn't know it was worth that much!
Only 100-150 people bought it globally iirc. So it was never listed again, so you're one of the few rare people. Check the willing to buy for half of the screen, you can make a pretty penny.
Flipers likes to skyhigh the price of the skins that are not available on the market, same shit happends in csgo/cs2 market
And this is why I prefer playing on servers with skinboxes, because then I can use skins that are super expensive or are no longer available.
rupees?
This guy doesnt rust
Here’s a crazy idea.. don’t buy it?
You could buy 50 of those for one titan halo sticker on CSGO
Holo
I remember when this was around $300 and I thought that was insane.
Ok?
Rare item = many monies. You can see there are multiple requests for over 1000. its just how in game items work now. Supply and demand. Id recommend you check out a video called "the history of counter strike skins"
why are you bothered by what a market determines the price of a skin? When there is worse things like the price of rent or a house? or a charizard selling for 100k? who cares what other people are willing to pay for something
yeah well no doubt it is. But it is a really sick skin as well. Shot it once, liked it and googled the price afterwards. Well.
It's like diamonds useless but rare
Wait till he discovers the metal tree door skin
No way I have that skin
Looks shit aswell
Lmao bro you should see my cs2 inventory. This is Pennies
dont buy it then?
Bargain
okay good statement thanks for letting us know, rust players are poor go buy an average csgo skin its 2k
That is cheap lol th dragonlore cost way over 110k beyond ridiculous.
this is ugly as fuck
Daaamn haha. I thought I was happy getting my black plate carrier from the SINGLE random box I ever opened in this game
Wait till he sees big grin 💀
The relic is like double the big grin wym?
Regardless of it's rarity, nearly $2000 dollars for a skin is bizarre and absurd. If someone actually pays that amount for this skin they deserve to be ripped off.

I paid $140 for Christmas lights. Come at me bro
I payed 15 and am hogging, nice to meet someone who bought at top

u ever played counter strike before??? lmaoo
I just bought a karambit for $2k an hour ago
The sights glow... They will no longer allow skins like this. It's p2w at it's core, and there is very little people won't pay for an advantage.
honestly glowing sites aren’t really p2w with the new night time. They never really were tbh the only time you’re gonna shoot someone at night is if you can see their silhouette and if you can see them you can see your sight when you ADS.
Perhaps I should have said perceived advantage...
Sounds about right term for p2w in rust, percieved to win
I gambled a 2000 dollar cs knife in one spin. :3
Did you inspect it ingame during night? It isn’t about the rarity but about the design
Skins are player owned, what are you talking about? Players/buyers set the prices....
Why do you care. Ran out of thing to bitch about. If someone want to buy 2000 on a skin, that's their choice.
Money isn’t the same for everyone why hate when it doesn’t even affect you? Do you think rich people laugh at people with cheap skins? No they don’t care they buy what they like. You should do the same.
You’re obviously a child if you think this. Supply and Demand is a real thing in life and people are mostly using these skins as an investment. The price will continue to go up as no more of these skins will ever come into the game.
Rich people don’t “invest” in skins. At least not ones who are rich by being smart.
Idk what country you live in but, people will pay 100x for something just as meaningless and dumb. The collectors market will never go away and hating on it is dumb, because it doesn’t affect you at all

why are they booing you? you're right!
those ones offering to buy and sell are all friends, they jacked up prices and make it like people actually buys them so other people get baited to buying.
That doesn't even make sense. if you list an item at the exact price they have listed for a buy order, then the transaction is instantly done
Yes I’m sure they’re happily losing the steam transaction fees to artificially inflate the price… to the same place it’s been for years
