How many skins each one lists
At the last calculation, market.csgo priced 14,122 skins from our catalogue, Steam 14,058, and 12,819 are priced on both.
A skin counts for a marketplace when it lists it at a price that passes our checks: recent quote, neither isolated nor off-market. Our catalogue is every skin with its wear, StatTrak™ and Souvenir counted apart, leaving out Case Hardened, Doppler and Fade. That’s the coverage of our records, not the marketplace’s full stock.
How we count
Prices are the cheapest listings each marketplace publishes, recorded by Veriloot, without buyer fees: those are under “What each one takes”. Dollar prices go to euros at the same rate for both columns, then to your currency. ECB rate of 15 Oct 2026: $1 = €0.89222.
A skin counts if it has a wear, with StatTrak™ and Souvenir counted apart, leaving out Case Hardened, Doppler and Fade: one marketplace’s lowest price is on one pattern, another’s on another. Both marketplaces must list it with at least 3 listings each (Steam doesn’t publish its count), and both prices must pass our checks: recent quote, neither isolated nor off-market, no more than 5 times the Steam listing.
The tables show, in each direction, the 5 skins with the biggest gap between the two prices, among base skins (neither StatTrak™ nor Souvenir) worth at least €10.00 on both sides. A skin is shown on 3 comparisons at most, so each page shows its own examples.
The net is the sale price minus the published seller fee, worked out in the marketplace’s own currency. Withdrawal fees aren’t deducted. A sale above 2 times the reference price doesn’t count.
Steam credit can’t be withdrawn: it’s never ranked with money.
A pair is published once at least 1,000 skins are in its basket, and removed only after 7 days in a row below 800. If a source goes down, the page keeps the last complete calculation, with its date.
