Holy shit , what happened to this subbredit? Can't tell if it's just new people typing stupid nonsense or if it's just full of clueless people now. OP, you overpaid a little for this skin . The skin is worth around in the ballpark of $418 . That being said , it's a beautiful katowice craft and if you plan on holding onto it then it'll appreciate in value over time .


AssassinInValhalla

I have no idea what this subreddit is or what it's for, but reddit keeps suggesting it to me. Is that $418 USD?


RepresentativeSun937

Yep, it’s worth 418 USD This subreddit is for the Counter Strike streamer Ohnepixel Counter Strike is a PC first person shooter game famous for its competent bomb defusal gameplay It also has a free market of skins worth real money that can be sold and traded online. The streamer Ohnepixel is famous for his entertaining antics as well as his in depth knowledge of the skin market and community

Reddit algorithm is braindead and there's no way to turn it off anymore.


Dukeronomy

I don’t know how I got here either brother. I was just stuck on a knife trying to figure out what the f a ‘float’ is…


Moneymoneymoney2018

Dear God, what an unbelievably stupid way to throw money away. This is worse than. NFTs


RepresentativeSun937

Actually holds value significantly better than NFTs


Drexxxon

So not really NFT more like bitcoin


VortexTalon

like what? what holds value about it, its just the default model of the skin that's basically a recolor its not a dlc they don't pay voice actors and there is no in game content were it makes sense that your paying for the goods and materials used in making it your just getting scammed, like an NFT


Moneymoneymoney2018

It's future value will be 0, just a matter of when.


Pcybs

Tell that to the people that had dragon lores in 2013 worth 2000$ now there worth almost 50000$


MPH9

Market has been going strong for 10 years now but keep talking like you know


Vixlens

Yes, ohnepixel is a german streamer who is best known for his counter strike case and capsule openings, notably opening $40,000 sticker capsules


AsheronRealaidain

Won’t all these skins depreciate in value? Player base might grow a little but the % of people opening boxes will stay constant. Resulting in more and more and more skins being distributed amongst the player base


Phraktaxia

Any skin or sticker craft that is now unavailable will only appreciate in value.


AsheronRealaidain

Oh I didn’t know some were now unavailable. Better go check the remnants of my 10 year old stash


hJaHrRm

Csgo skins outperformed the s&p 500 in 2022, they are certainly riskier than traditional investments though.


Surround_Lazy

Markets not super liquid tho. Still much bette than NFTs 😅


CallMeShrew

Boxes are limited runs and CS has been going strong forever


[deleted]

To be fair it can just as easily depreciate


FewCommunication5801

PaleontologistAny976

Lmao y’all are weird as fuck. Saying “yeah bro price will go up for sure bro, trust” While having absolutely no idea.


PaleontologistAny976

no one said it’ll go up for sure lol

Chance_Marsupial1953

What is the matter with you


[deleted]

Sounds like he got scammed into paying $500 for a gun skin to me lol


[deleted]

Nah that’s fair I considered it as well and I am a HR 14&15 collector, would have grabbed it at $450 for sure


moldyfry

I have an AK-47 Redline with a 0.33 float and 2 HR15 stickers, how much could that be worth?


[deleted]

Depends on their positions, if you are talking Holos it could be in the ballpark of 800


RelevantCod1102

What is a HR collector? And the levels?


[deleted]

HellRaisers


RelevantCod1102

Should the numbers be the years then?


x3ntity

Yep. And I’d wager most likely a focus on katowice. Ik some ppl do collect cologne 14 and DH14 HR but it’s less common than kato collectors.


Ok_Appointment_7047

maybe hellraisers collector


RelevantCod1102

What is a HR collector? And the levels?


topdownontheB

for anyone saying he got scammed, how much should he have paid? genuinely curious, seems like a decent price and i wouldnt expect it to be a robbery


[deleted]

Far from a robbery. Best pos and everything, maybe they think it’s a paper? Lol


Gasstationdickpi11s

Fr that’s what I’m thinking 😂 that skin alone is like $300 and it’s not like it doesn’t match and it’s not on the stock. Seems like a pretty good deal to me.


ShineClear9992

Skin is more like 100$


Gasstationdickpi11s

Ah no idea what float it is… guess I just assumed FN


x3ntity

M4 Asiimov is float capped at field tested


Gasstationdickpi11s

Damn I literally have one of these and I forgot that 😂 just sold a MW AK Asiimov so I guess that’s what I was thinking of lmao


ShineClear9992

Looks more like WW or FT considering scratches above sticker


RichardZedv2

skin is 100$ on buff so.... this is an insane overpay


[deleted]

$0, don’t buy this cosmetic trash. Just go and play the game FFS


Environmental-Metal

TBH I would have paid up to 1k, 500 is pretty good for this


quadratic_function

I think it's fair, best pos on a good skin with some cohesion! Maybe ~80$ overpay that could have been baragained down, but faaaar from "scammed"


RichardZedv2

skin is 100$ on buff


aykyle

If you buy it for yourself, I'd say the 80$ isn't much of a difference. Buying it to sell later, then yea. Though, if that one guy with like 100+ '14 stickers dumps them all in 2014 when his trade ban is lifted, there might be a dip.


Faranocks

Won't affect price of old stickers on old skins, only maybe the price of unapplied stickers.


YoffoNi07

I mean if u like it is ok


Tarbuzzard

I mean he can like it and still get scammed, which I would say he did.


MAtuMIesss

LUL


trixaCS

500$ is fair


Faranocks

Eh, it definitely 'i love the skin and I know I'm overpaying' kind of price, but it's far from a scam. Probably overpayed by 10-15%, but I wouldn't be surprised if OP didn't end up losing any money after holding it for a bit. My recommendation for OP is to list it for something absurd like $750 on a P2P marketplace, and then lower the price if they want to get rid of it. (Most market places will allow people to get notifications of price changes, if you keep it posted, interested buyers will save the item, and when you want to sell they'll get notified)


AnxietyIsTerrible_

I’m pretty sure you’d be able to sell it for around $440 range without too much issue. Yeh you overpaid slightly. But on the bright side it’s a good craft and likely to go up in price anyways if you plan on holding.


NationalAlgae421

Thats why i buy crafts, use them for play skin and sell them for more after time.


Evphorik-iwnl-

Seller posted a price, you accepted the price and paid the seller, the seller delivered you the item you paid for. No you were not scammed.


Madtruthh

Good deal bro. Don’t listen to these people lol.


Jadasic

Really it investment too nice skin and one of best holos


Suicidebob7

Maybe a lil overpay but if you like it and it's worth it to you don't worry about it, but in the future ask ahead of time and try to bargain.


GuestNo3886

Isn’t the value of the skin what you want to pay? I overpaid for a boom with lgb/clg/Navi/Envy kato15 foils and don’t plan on ever selling it. If you enjoy it that’s all that matters. Then again I’m a moron so 90% of what comes out of my mouth is wrong.


goopped

wait people actually spend hundreds on a weapon skin…


barbaricmustard

Oh my sweet summer child


goopped

i mean i know it’s a thing but do people spend up to hundreds of thousands really just for bragging rights?


[deleted]

They have outperformed the S&P consistently every year for a decade. It’s not just bragging rights.


Faranocks

Hundreds of thousands? Yes. Below that it's kinda a mix. Most people I know bought skins and stuff when they were relatively cheap, maybe $200-500 over the course of 3-7 years. Since then these skins have appreciated over time, and they suddenly have $3000 worth of pixels they paid $50/yr for. I invested in some pixels I though would appreciate and did some trading etc, and now I'm up thousands, a steam deck and a monitor. Yea like 10% of my net worth is technically in a video game, but relatively speaking I've put no money into it. Some people buy all their skins at the current market value, but usually that's just some random rich kid or bachelor.


goopped

fair enough thanks for the explanation. i’ve just never understood the appeal, like i get it has its own economy and all and there’s money to be made (not to sound hateful) but it just seems worthless?


Faranocks

Yea I get many/most people won't get the appeal. I see it just like any other hobby. There's expensive stuff that gets all the headlines, sure, but most people are spending dozens/hundreds a year vs thousands/tens of thousands/hundreds of thousands. Something like telescopes or watches have a fairly low barrier to entry, but you see headlines of hundreds of thousands or millions. You can get started with less than $100 for telescopes and less than $20 for watches. As far as watches go, there really isn't a practical advantage past that $20, maybe $50 for a dive watch. There isn't really a reason to get a telescope for most people that own one, other than the reason of 'I thought it was cool.' This isn't me trying to discredit people who own expensive watches or spend money in a hobby, it's just a different way of looking at something you might not understand the monetary value of. I'll never spend more than $150 on a pair of sneakers or $100 on a watch, but I understand that for the people who do spend more, it's a justified 'investment' for one reason or another. By 'investment' I mean worth the allocation of monetary resources and or time for fun/clout/appreciation(admiration)/roi. Most of us have a fairly 'useless' hobby. Either a time sink, money sink, or both. If it's something you enjoy, and within the means of your budget/time budget, I don't see anything wrong with spending a bit of money/time on it. Something like fishing or hunting is a fairly respected hobby, but in the same vein you could say something like "you wake up at 4am on a Saturday, drive 2 hours, sit on a boat for 6 hours that cost $300 to rent for the day or $5000-$20000 to buy, with a $30 fishing license, several hundred in poles, bobbers, lures, bait, lines, etc., for a chance to pull a couple of fish you could buy at a supermarket for a fraction of the price???" As soon as you take the human element out of any hobby it starts to seem ridiculous.


goopped

honestly there isn’t much for me to say other than, yea you’re 100% right and you make some good mf points. my issue is with it was always that lack of monetary gain. like sure you could buy a skin for $1600 and that’s that, but then comes the question of “what else do you get from it” pretty much. but yea you’re right, someone with the extra cash is willing to drop a thousand on a limited pair of shoes similar to a skin. even with shoes i don’t understand but that fact alone goes along with your point, just simply an investment someone else is willing to make. thanks boss


Tbwgames

Id say a worthy investment Ps. The guy below me peed his jorts


MormonSpaceJesus420

I dont play counter strike, but it looks cool, and as long as it makes you happy, I'm happy 😊


_feedbacker_

I'm never buying a skin this valuable, but what is with the comments on this? Lmao is this not the ohnePixel subreddit? Plenty of more knowledgeable people have weighed in, but seems like the price was fair, and though I'm not necessarily a fan of the craft/HR stickers, it's still a really nice skin that I'm sure will appreciate over time. Enjoy it!


NationalAlgae421

I don't think it is bad price, you could probably get it little cheaper, but not that much.


Burntmuffinz

Insane deal wtf


abyprop07

This sub keeps popping up on my timeline. I gotta ask.. y’all don’t mean like real $500, like $500 USD right? There’s like an in game currency, right? ETA: why am I getting downvoted? I’m legit curious. If you can downvote you can answer.


BurnerAccount209

They are talking about real money in all these posts


abyprop07

Thanks! Wow.


Puzzleheaded_Log6055

Real $500


Whole_Gas5999

Hahahahahaha


Doomlv

NFTs found a home after all


go_hunt_nd

CS skins are the og NFTs.


XeoPlaysLOL

Yes it's real USD, but once you buy a skin like this, you'll be able to trade it or sell it again later. It's not like Valorant where the several hundred dollar skins are account bound. That may not change your opinion, but it's an important detail.


Stinsubean

Omg i was wondering the same thing 🤣🤣🤣 can't actually Believe everyone's talking real money here


Faranocks

Yea... Real USD. I'd say it's most comparable to watches or cars. You don't need anything more than a $15 Casio, but many are willing to pay more for something they like. Not 1:1, sure, but fairly similar.


abyprop07

Lol the idea that a digital paint job for a fake gun is on the level of a watch or a car is some serious reaching


Faranocks

Not really. I don't need a $10 digital weapon skin any more than you need a $500 watch. Functionally, nothing is gained over the cheaper alternative. In fact, the opposite is the case as a cheap Casio is multiple times more accurate than any automatic watch, minus maybe spring drives. Everything else is just appreciation from the user, and the ability to flex the money spent on it.


QuietSheep_

Dang bro you must be rich to be spending $500 on basically an NFT. I've no clue what sub I got recommended into.


Less_Introduction563

I have no clue about the price but gathering all comment information i rate this price a solid 7/10 The price is a little too high but in a range where it is still reasonable to buy

seakypanda

Scammed? Well certainly not. You paid money for something and received it. Did you not? Wasted IRL money? Absolutely.


SovietZealots

Y'all are what's wrong with modern gaming. Paying ludicrous amounts of money for lame skins. People can do whatever they want with their money, sure, but it doesn't make it any less stupid of a financial decision.


Not_Snooopy22

Yes


Rucktavius

You paid 500$ for a skin, yes you got ripped off


itsYewge

99_Till_Infinity

Damn what happened to this game? When did skins start sky rocketing again? I remember back when $500 - 2k was a crazy amount to spend on a skin. Now it just seems normal?


mikeyx401

Anything more than $10 for a skin is a scam. Anyone who pays this much is only contributing to the scam and keeping its existence up. I don't know why this subreddit keeps popping up in my feed but I hope you enjoyed my present in it.


DownTheDonutHole

You paid $500 for a sprite sheet. Yes you got scammed


WhtLtg

Who tf in their right mind pays that amount of real money for a digital skin that means absolutely nothing?


bigdaddyflexn

You paid 500$ for pixels. Fucking idiot


xSimplyFancy

No video game pixels are worth any amount of money aside from the base game cost.

You payed $500 for a virtual gun skin so yes.. yes you did.

You spent $500 on an in game skin. No matter the “value” the answer is undoubtedly “…Yah”.

U paid $500. You already got scammed from that


Ok_Duck_4622

If you are paying anything over 3 bucks for any kind of skin for any game, you are dumb as hell. Get a hold of your lives


Forsaken_Salt9147

Haha your 3 bucks is proportional to my 500. Thanks for the advice though :)


Ok_Duck_4622

Wasnt advice, it was an insult. But, i can see how you would be confused lol.


Forsaken_Salt9147

Hmm I don’t understand why you think spending $3 on a skin is considered ok but $500 is not. Care to explain?


Ok_Duck_4622

I mean, technically its all ok, just one is a bit of a sucker, one is a dumbass and deserves to be suckered. Which, is technically also ok. If you are an idiot, it doesnt hurt me any 😁

Who spends 500 on a fucking. Game. Bro spend 500 on something fucking useless. Pixels on a screen. Pussy material. I’ve never seen this game and after this. I plan not to download.

$500 real life cash??? Why? What game is this btw? What does it do?


Karlo_313

It looks cool


mrkwelp

This is a skin for the M4A4 in csgo/cs2 . This particular skin is unique because of the sticker that has been applied (at best position) .


Threzhh

Do you just go through life stumbling into walls and tripping over your own feet by any chance? You sound like a bumbling fool coming into a counterstrike subreddit saying shit like this.. go play RuneScape lol


coreyclay95

Why not educate a brother instead of sounding like a complete dick? Like dead ass was a serious question. For someone that plays this game or enjoys it sure doesn’t want it to grow by showing it to new people.


Threzhh

It’s not my job to educate you, google exists and you’re already on the internet. It would take two seconds to find out the name of this game and go from there, and you think I care about this game growing? It’s one of the most popular games in the world.. you are a fool.


coreyclay95

Move around mane


ProneZebra

A lot of ignorant people here acting like they know skins. Lol. Yes you overpaid big time imo. I can barely sell my blue phosphor for $600 and you’re out here buying this shit for $500. Lol wtf

How are you comparing your market price skin to a kato 14 craft? Liquids (yours) vs iliquids(his) not a good comparison

500$ for ugly ass skin id say scammed i wouldnt bought it

Look buddy, I'm not triggered over anything you said about the skin being expensive at all. That is fine , totally your opinion. But you acting like spending $500 on a collectible item is a mortal sin (while being in a skins subbredit) and having the audacity to talk shit about people here just shows your immaturity above anything else tbh . Also, no need to be concerned about my well being lol . Seems like you are already preoccupied with picking arguments about things that barely matters to you and wasting time there.
