HOW PRICING WORKS AND WHY WE EXIST
CS2 inventory value check, everything you need to know
CS2 skins (formerly CS:GO skins) have been one of gaming's biggest microeconomies for over a decade. Individual item values range from a few cents to thousands of euros, and entire inventories can be worth hundreds or even thousands. Yet many players don't know exactly how much their collection is worth — and even fewer know how much they would get in actual cash on their account.
Steam market price vs. cash value, why they aren't the same
Steam Community Market shows you the price a skin is currently selling for on Steam. That number doesn't tell the whole story. Steam takes about a 15% transaction fee, and the money you receive goes into your Steam Wallet — from where it cannot be withdrawn to a bank account. The only way to convert skins into real money is to trade through a third-party service like Skinsauna.
What determines a CS2 skin's price?
The price of a skin depends on several factors:
- Rarity (Consumer → Covert → ★ Knife/Gloves)
- Wear value (Factory New → Battle-Scarred)
- Demand (popular skins like AK-47 Redline or AWP Asiimov hold their value)
- StatTrak version is usually 10–30% more expensive
- Stickers and their rarity (e.g. Holo/Foil/Gold capsules)
- Float value (a low float can raise the price significantly)
- Market trends and season (e.g. Major events drive prices up)
How does Skinsauna calculate your inventory's value?
Our checker combines real-time data from Steam Community Market, third-party marketplaces (Skinport, BUFF163, CSFloat) and our own pricing model. We show you three numbers: the Steam market list price, the average third-party resale price, and what you would get in instant cash on your bank account through Skinsauna. We pay on average 90% of a skin's cash value, which is a more competitive offer than most other instant-sale services.
Is the inventory check safe?
Yes. The checker uses only Steam's public profile data and your Trade URL — we never ask for your password, Steam Guard code or API key. You don't make any trades during the check, and you don't hand over any items to us. You can check your inventory's value every day if you want, with zero risk.
