CS2 CRASHED THE SKINS MARKET

Hopefully it will recover 😎 Thank you Skìnport for sponsoring: skinport.com/r/anomaly

[@benjcalipha]

Basically: for skin collectors: insane value loss for regular players: insane discount for nice skins

The skins he is talking about are actually no skins for regular players :D low-mid tier stayed the same

[@tomeryoutube1068]

I'm a long time investor in CS and of course watch anomaly, and sometimes he even bores me in his videos with his explanations about the market, skins, the scene etc - meaning that he's doing a very good job with teaching those who doesn't really know or understand the market :)

[@Khosmu]

I think the most relevant point that made the skins crash when cs2 came out was because there was a lot of people buying and holding skins waiting for the “bigger player base” that cs2 would bring and they thought it would make the skins price even higher, doing that they inflated the skins price pre c2 launch, normal people were thinking that the skins were already too expensive and no one wanted to buy for that inflated price, then cs2 launches and the boom in skins price didn’t come and those who had stocked up on skins thinking the price would rise are dumping what they have, even more seeing the market crash they are fearing losing the money invested on the skins

[@stozo]

I think it depends on the skins you have invested into as well. My inventory has, in total, increased in value since cs2 launched. However, I can see that some of my skins have definiteley dropped in price. Interessting to see some parts of the market crashing, whereas certain skins hold their value.

[@notkurumi]

My skins did increase as well. Usually these shiny skins increased in value:D

[@gavinstockwell9253]

Well... I for one am not complaining. This sounds like a discount sale to me and I'm about to buy those skins that I've waited for so long to be at a reasonable price! Hehehe good job Valve!

[@CS2AIM]

CS 2 why Off ANTY CHEAT >?!?!?

[@glitchyglitch1235]

also the fact that CS2's float and patterns rendering are different. Like one of the classic low level high-float collectibles were battlescarred AK elite builds and AWP Safari Meshes which now look like they're well worn, my AK47 0.989 used to look like a normal ak with black furniture, now it has massive black spots all over the body, losing like at least 1€ in value. I know it sounds like not much but imagine something like the value of no-scratch hot rods, if the float changes work both ways (they seem to) now there will be a lot more of them, probably mostly losing any overpay value that's in the tens of thousands of dollars

[@maximodelavega6421]

Counter strike being a great example of how markets work is my favorite thing

[@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it]

many EXPENSIVE skins go down and many underrated skins go up. simpel as that. usp purple ddpat went high as fuck, same with glock brass. my friend opened classic blue steel. it was for 170$ weeks before csgo died, now its for 300$

[@stozo]

Same here, seems some of the "cheaper" skins are more stable than the 1000+ dollar skins.

[@westernspy561]

I feel like my usp-s whiteout looks much whiter and better in cs2 than csgo, i think that's why it's price went almost two times.

[@MS-oy3ry]

@@stozothe number of cheap skins is much higher than the number of expensive skins so its more difficult to manipulate prices + people who are holding cheap skins dont bother selling, because they are not worth that much

The update yesterday made my black tie gloves look way better than they did. The white is very clean and pops way more now than launch day.

[@santiagoalonzo1485]

One of the finishes that went up in value that im personally happy i own is the black pearls, and i think thats mainly because theyre in a good state and hasnt recieved as much complaints as rubies and sapphires. Maybe Black Pearls will be meta now lol

[@LFXGaming]

this video obviously made me check my inventory to see how much my skins had dropped and I was dreading it, but weirdly for me like 95% of my skins have either stayed at the same price or gone up in value....wtf

[@theomerlo9633]

High end skins dropped, middle/low skins didn't moved or just a little bit over or under

[@KamiCS2]

There is a fairly reasonable claim for this. People who thought everything will rise didn't think about that the influx of high end demand will likely not come along immediately (I for one believe it will still materialize over time). You wouldn't have bought a DL when you started playing, mainly because you connect jack s* with the game. Though you would likely tend to buy a few budget skins here and there or open a couple of cases, instead.

[@martinpalm5]

@@theomerlo9633 one skin i bought for 40 cent is now worth 3 bucks.

[@Meemzeh]

Same, mine all went up

[@ItsFromEver]

Yea, cause high value skins dropped since all the skins overall look much better. This guy is just shilling you his codes and farming you for interactions, views, etc. Fact is, this guy isnt in reality because he has tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars invested in very high value skins. Of course he's going to have a negative outlook. He thinks 10% drop in his skins is a "crash" when over the last 6 months, all skins have pretty much doubled and tripled. High value is dropping and low value is rising.

[@_Z0T4R_]

The Gamma/Doppler gems look off, you’re right on that. But tbh the phases look like the phases. Everything looks shinier due to lighting and so do they. Perhaps turn up the dark spots a bit more, but they are really nice and more distinguishable amongst the other phases.

[@prodbyfaith]

I read somewhere that CS2 made 40 million dollars in the first 40 minutes of the launch. Could it just be that people bought a lot of cases right away, put a lot more skins on the market thus lowering their value?

[@franciscoeko2970]

Yes its basically just irl economy

[@pleasestfu4801]

Yeah bro, cases went up like crazy. I'm liking these weekly drops being like over a dollar guaranteed. That's a free decent skin every month or so. And my God, does a month go fast when you get old lol

There are certain skins in the market that can't be printed anymore, such as dlores, medusa or operation skins, etc.

[@KamiCS2]

[@DiverseCurse]

Something logical I found was that investors buying high-end skins to resell really chose the wrong tier of things to invest in. New players aren't dropping hundreds to thousands of dollars on a game they are just starting. That's why high-end skins are going down. It's also why the lower tier skins, say things from the $5, $10, maybe all the way up to $50, are remaining stable, aren't dropping NEARLY as hard, or are even going up a bit.. These new players are grabbing a few cool skins for around $40 and are chilling. They don't need/want/have the money for Dragon Lores, FN Vice Gloves and gem knives.

[@dllstortion9610]

Ive noticed a lot of lower tier skins like ones between $10-50 have gone up in price a bit even while the top tier skins have dropped

that whole "value loss" makes absolut sense. i dont play CS anymore but love every video you puz out. and i havent played since 2019, but i already knoe 3 people, that bought skins in CSGO, just so they could profit in CS2. they tried to profit of an ingame item, that just experianced a visual upgrade. thats the dumbest investment after dogecoin. and i called all 3 of them "mentally unwell", which is a comment i dont like to make, because im 'bout to make the "room temperature challange" myself 👍

as someone that has a job in the economy workfield I think it's hilarious watching the skin prices. It was foreseeable because everyone and their mother thought they'd be smarter than everyone else by buying into CS skins. And now a lot of these "investors" lose even more money by panic selling. (They literally bought high and sold low because they're either impatient or have no clue what they're doing) But I won't complain, I got some pretty good deals because of this
