CS2 Investments I Bought Today | CS2 Investing

Nice picks. You correctly analyzed that collection skins are gaining value. In addition to this, all operation items (skins, stickers, and agents but especially stickers) are on the rise. Operation items stop being created once an operation is finished, which means that every operation item is in limited quantity. Yesterday Liquid Fire Holo reached $50.00 USD; this is the first time an operation sticker has reached $50.00. Boost Holo sticker is not an operation sticker but it does have the same effect as Liquid Fire Holo and its value went up 5x yesterday as a direct result of Liquid Fire rising in price. In my opinion the best Operation stickers are Stone Scales Foil, Gold Web Foil, and Dead Eye Holo. Dead Eye is a truly unique sticker with a shattered holo effect that isn't found on any other sticker.

Great conclusion :D the liquid fire holo is really going crazy… Glad I hold some! When going for operation stickers, I would also always consider the application numbers. You can check for them on CSfloat :)

[@jordanimatedstreaming]

@@Lukas_CS2 application numbers/demand is far less relevant in the CS market than you might think. emphasis on demand is the most common widespread fallacy in mainstream CS investing; for example it's the reason Paris 2023 has been nothing but a downwards graph for almost an entire year even though the stickers look great and have high demand. supply is a far better gauge of true valuation. this is why I buy stickers 2018-older before there was ever any hype around CS investing.

[@Gloeiii]

how about ancient beasts? they are also gold foil stickers

[@hamela4068]

where do you buy your investments?

[@stammkunde6232]

Skinsport

[@Lukas_CS2]

Until buff163 removed cases, capsules and stuff, nearly all of the time over there. Now I probably mostly use Skinport and DMarket + still buff163 for high tier items :)

[@JarinCOD]

Patch packs are the way.

[@Lukas_CS2]

For sure :D

[@Dom-if4id]

How long you gonna hold for this investments? Until next month and another 50eur or when?

[@Lukas_CS2]

No, not only for a month. I just hold these longterm and sell whenever I feel like :) mostly when I‘m in decent profit and think the money could be better placed into other items… so it really depends

[@FrancisVoltolinI]

hey man, what is the best investiment to do right now?

[@Lukas_CS2]

I really like discontinued collection greys :)

[@FrancisVoltolinI]

@@Lukas_CS2 Can you give 1 example please.

[@yann-zizi8633]

i spend 700€ every month on riptide & surf shop stickers, after 3 months i have 3.6k ;) riptide to the moon

[@Lukas_CS2]

Love them too 😍

[@razer5960]

What should i invest with 200€?

[@razer5960]

I want to invest 200€ a month for long therm and 100€ for play skins

[@clatebooger3653]

@@razer5960 well I would watch a bunch of videos and see what everyone says. But like Lukas said here older collection low tier skins are good. Most KZbinrs and investors will say rare cases and discontinued cases, also operation stickers mainly riptide as these are not coming back. Older stickers from majors wether it be team logos or autographs you like are also good. Prisma, prisma 2, falchion, shadow, and danger zone are my personal favorite cases. I also invested recently back into Paris because I think the stickers look great compared to Copenhagen and Antwerp. I would say Stockholm are the best looking but they are expensive and París isn’t too far looks wise. Do your research though!!!

[@sobbingshane]

@@razer5960 As he's investing 50 EUR, you could just buy everything he buys but twice.

[@Lukas_CS2]

I would say @clatebooger3653 summed it up very well here. As far as it goes for this year, operation collection skins where the most consistent option I would say. For more inspiration you could check out my other monthly investing videos or the videos from any of the other credible KZbinrs out there :)

[@Lukas_CS2]

When looking for playskins you could also take a look at discontinued collection skins or skins from older cases like the hydra case. It should be ensured that these will rise in the future.

[@LunarPriestessYT]

Wait buff removed cases??

[@IKVRY]

Yes

[@Lukas_CS2]

Yes, all kind of consumables actually :/

[@narwaffles9572]

Anything that could be considered gambling was removed. So cases, capsules, containers. etc.

[@timchikun]

[@Lukas_CS2]

Of course, yes :D
