Early 2023 CS:GO market overview

[@EpicDonutDudeMemes]

I've been active since 2014 and last year has been the craziest ive seen number wise, some items dont even make sense but that is also the interesting part.

[@pumb0]

that case hardened unbox got me BRICKED

[@ptreeNA]

the crazy thing is that video was only a year ago so this was probably a ~$50 opening

[@Aurinna]

Great transition work! but yeah we'll probably be seller downward pressure for people liquidating their positions when the next big update comes out, with the market being at all-time highs on-top of high volatility, we can see considerable downturn, but that just means you can buy more for less lol

[@Lino99ITA]

Antwerp glitters stickers go up in price is insane

[@smhcsgo]

If source 2 changes nothing, would you consider that a “good release” ?

[@ptreeNA]

after the richard lewis article the expectations are now high enough that a simple transition is underwhelming. Promising a "graphics fidelity" change and china going crazy buying up anything they created theories on is what has brought the market to this point. Basically no changes = market crash

[@smhcsgo]

@@ptreeNA i agree, I am somewhat fearful that no matter what happens when it is released there will be shortfalls in the eyes of the community, but this is partly due to outrageous expectations.. I would be happy if not much changed tbh, but I assume the wider community would be disappointed...

[@night3094]

For a regular player changes will be minimal, idk why people are expecting like a new game or something it's just a game engine, when Dota 2 went from source 1 to source 2 changes were unnoticeable

[@cen0bia]

@@smhcsgo same. I would be happy with just little changes. All I REALLY want is a good operation like in the old days lmao

[@svakt]

Bro said Source 2 is "not likely" the day before announcement lol

[@cen0bia]

I invested in prisma, prisma 2, revolver, clutch and fracture... 3-4 years ago. I think highest case I bought was clutch at around 0.06€. I love seeing those prices go up.

[@meatyshmeaty]

Nice vide! Now Im curious what about this you would change had you known how source 2 looked?

[@bean_up7402]

Don't forget that they fixed the Shadow daggers bug. So its a pretty good mid knife

[@0x-Game-]

whats your view on bowie tiger tooth MW? is that a good investment?

[@jordan2104]

I just want Valve to release something so the market slows down a little bit because I want to invest more. What are your thoughts on Krakow stickers? The capsules are crazy expensive!

[@ptreeNA]

crazy expensive but if you go to buff and check transactions (or other sites if they have that option) it's uncommon to actually sell one. I have a few n0thing golds and I've been watching people undercut each other to the point that prices are half of what they were during the hype. Capsules should perform but I personally won't be buying any stickers after I sell mine

[@13essentials77]

yea it kinda hurts! got 30k rmb to go but I dont wanna buy now cos everything feels like a bubble xd

[@jordan2104]

@@13essentials77 Might have to wait for Paris which is only a couple of months away. Until then, it's not a bad time to try and unload some more stuff I guess.

[@jordan2104]

@@ptreeNA Yeah, I'm holding my golds too, the price has been stagnating for too long. But I was actually looking at the holos, which seem to become more and more popular lately. I have a lot of foils but no holos unfortunately. They are relatively cheap right now so I thought maybe I could buy some. I personally don't like them, which makes it hard to spend money on them. I might just stick with what I already have. Also, I don't understand why you don't have more subs and viewers! You and Fellz are the only channels that matter when it comes to csgo investing. Everything else is just fake news, speculations and repeating the same bs over and over again, while advertising some garbage gambling site. Really, I wish I could promote you somehow, but I'm not active on any social media or discords.

[@banana_havoc]

Ong bro the market is far from what it used to be

[@kennethd7852]

I dont know if u ever noticed, but the items displayed on the first and second ... page of the csgo market on steam is changing every few days and within this time this items go up like 15% each. I think its just crazy how valve can "manipulate" the market

[@johnlyons3832]

I remember buying Stockholm capsules, about 60 of each or more. I even bought the mouz gold for 40$. Bought about 10 vitality holo’s, 10 pain holo’s, and some others. I held for a month and then figured they wouldn’t go anywhere so I sold… vitality and pain holo’s went from 2$ to 17$, and my 40$ mouz sticker is selling at 300$ now. I also sold my bayonet tiger tooth last week, which will almost certainly skyrocket in price, along with my gut knife sapphire. I missed out on the biggest come up I could’ve asked for, totally fumbled the bag. If prices don’t come back down I don’t think I’ll be investing anymore after this.

[@MaxWollheck]

Unlucky, but it's a great lesson to learn, research, estimate if it's worth it and believe in it or don't. The only reason for my Stockholm investments to be successful, is because I had paper hands years ago and went through my own mistakes

[@johnlyons3832]

@@MaxWollheck You’re right. I just didn’t expect prices to ever reach what they have. I’d have turned my couple hundred into a couple thousand if I held, easily. It’s just blowing my mind that the capsules I was buying at 1-2$ or less are now 10$ each and the supply is so low. I remember buying the vitality and pain holos because they were cheap but also looked fantastic, I knew they were under appreciated at the time, and I should’ve just trusted my gut. I thought there would be too many on the market for the prices to boom, I overestimated the supply.

[@MaxWollheck]

@@johnlyons3832 even now, who knows what the peak will be for SH/AW. I must admit that Vitality Holos really do look incredible. Maybe 1 year from now, some SH/AW stickers (except mouz 😅) will jump by another 10x, maybe they will fall...but with their looks you can at least imagine that there might still be a lot of room for growth

[@shaneortega7092]

Nice video.. and omg I can't wait to see my skins in the new game.. most excited about low tier skins like the awp atheris.. nobody would be crafting with stickers right now.. I reckon the best investment I had coming upto this was rmr spirit holo

[@Poesys]

Very good video I love it. I got a lot of fracture cases and they surely are underrated atm. The Deagle printsream is the best selling +100rmb on buff and has been for ages. Skeleton are top tier knife and Nomad are great as well. Even if this case has been dropped a lot it has also been unboxed a fuck ton so I've stockpiled 300 and now we wait

[@t_t_t94]

Just wondering what you would recommend to use when mass selling your cases, steam market vs. a 3rd party site?

[@kennethd7852]

theres something from steam called multisell. With 3rd party websites ur not 100% safe all the time so i would recommend using that

[@TheRealRamJ]

classic knife fade and wildfire MW for butterfly knife tiger was like 800 traded down to 700 back in 2020 thx god i did im up a grand

[@cagno1950]

Hi ptreeNA, Developers seem to listen to the community's voice a bit more, so I wnated to talk to you about a problem we all have. Storage units are garbage since years. I don't want to use a 3rd community program and risk my account, any chance of contacting to big streamers and maybe change things on Source2?

[@XBLnerd1]

i think thats more of a problem with the steam inventory system, nothing with the game.

[@MorbidlyArtistic]

babe wake up new ptree video dropped

[@PCGNp]

This is one of the best explanation. Thank you for all of your effort.

[@log1c539]

for the first time, RMR stickers are rising!

[@rubenmaes4062]

Great video!

[@Kevin-uj4uu]

i have to think that valve probably isnt going to want cases to become much more expensive then they are now. sure they get a large chunk from the tax but if cases become more expensive, then eventually less people will unbox and that means less kids addicted and getting started in the first place

[@ptreeNA]

I don't have the data or knowledge that the people working for/at valve do but I would assume when unboxing rates start to decrease a change would be made. Case unboxing rates going up like 20% in a month while cases are at their highest point makes me think we might be pretty far away from that though

[@kennethd7852]

@@ptreeNA Jep i think that too, maybe they calculated the point when its no longer profitable for them when the case prices go up, and people dont willing to buy them any more. Then they hold this price or what could also happen (but its not that likely) is that they change the price of keys.

[@stevep6317]

It takes effort to have lost money over the past 6 months with CS items lol
