Why do some skins cost pennies while others reach the prices of sports cars?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-first-rarity\">First \u2013 Rarity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first factor to consider is the rarity of the skin. The difference is visible at first glance \u2013 <strong>just look at the color that accompanies the name \/ thumbnail of the skin<\/strong>. Intuition suggests that a skin with a gold &#8220;frame&#8221; is more valuable than one in gray. Currently, there are 7 rarity levels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>gray \/ white \u2013 most common, usually valued at a few cents;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>light blue \u2013 somewhat rarer, but still very low priced;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>dark blue \u2013 popular, but noticeably more expensive;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>purple \u2013 rarer and often sought after by players;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pink \u2013 quite valuable, often costing several tens of dollars;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>red \u2013 very rare, prices can reach hundreds of dollars;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>gold \u2013 extremely rare, mainly skins for knives and gloves, often worth several thousand dollars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/sellyourskins.com\/blog\/skin-rarity\/\">Skin Rarity \u2013 What Does It Mean?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Did you know, that&#8230; limited editions, such as skins available only during events, often increase in value after their sale ends?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-float-or-wear-level\">Float, or Wear Level<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, we look at the wear level of the skin. Like a real weapon, <strong>items in CS2 \/ CS:GO bear scratches and other signs of wear<\/strong>. Naturally, the fewer there are, the higher the market value of the skin typically is. Float is divided into 5 categories, but more experienced players use a numerical range from 0.00 to 1.00 (the higher the number, the greater the wear):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>0.00 &#8211; 0.07 \u2013 \u201cFactory New,\u201d virtually no scratches;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0.07 &#8211; 0.15 \u2013 \u201cMinimal Wear,\u201d a few less visible scratches;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0.15 &#8211; 0.37 \u2013 \u201cField-Tested,\u201d noticeable wear on the skin;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0.37 &#8211; 0.45 \u2013 \u201cWell-Worn,\u201d many strong scratches;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0.45 &#8211; 1.00 \u2013 \u201cBattle-Scarred,\u201d a skin that has seen a lot of action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sellyourskins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Frame-65-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"AK-47 Vulcan Float Range\" class=\"wp-image-1801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sellyourskins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Frame-65-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sellyourskins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Frame-65-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sellyourskins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Frame-65-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sellyourskins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Frame-65-1-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sellyourskins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Frame-65-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sellyourskins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Frame-65-1-832x468.jpg 832w, https:\/\/sellyourskins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Frame-65-1-1248x702.jpg 1248w, https:\/\/sellyourskins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Frame-65-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue with float is that <strong>some scratches are more visible than others<\/strong>, which obviously affects the skin&#8217;s value. There are also skins that do not operate within the full 0.00 &#8211; 1.00 range (e.g., AWP \u201cAsiimov\u201d only comes in \u201cField-Tested,\u201d \u201cWell-Worn,\u201d and \u201cBattle-Scarred\u201d versions).

This makes <strong>skin valuation complicated and leaves room for undervaluation<\/strong>. You must also consider stickers and additions (e.g., Katowice 2014 or StatTrak\u2122), which can significantly increase the value of a skin, as well as keep up with market hype and speculations. And if that wasn&#8217;t enough, completely random factors come into play, such as if a well-known player starts using a specific skin, its price usually increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re not familiar with skin valuation, but still want to sell your CS2 \/ CS:GO inventory for cash \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sellyourskins.com\/en\/\"><strong>use our platform, which automatically appraises and buys skins<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Does the float increase when I play with a skin?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, skins do not &#8220;wear out&#8221; while playing.
