Biggest price gaps between marketplaces

Method

We rank the whole catalogue by the gap between the cheapest and the most expensive asking price for the same item, as a percentage of the lowest price. An item only qualifies if at least 4 marketplaces list it, each with at least 5 listings and a quote that is neither stale nor off-market, and if its lowest price reaches €10.00. An end price more than 35% away from its neighbour counts as isolated, and the item is dropped: a gap that rests on a single listing says nothing about the market. Case Hardened, Doppler and Fade are excluded, because each marketplace lists a different pattern or phase. Steam is excluded: its credit can’t be withdrawn. The ranking is recalculated at most every 60 minutes, and prices are read again on every view: an item whose gap no longer holds disappears, and rows follow the gap just read. A row’s date is that of the older of its two quotes.

A gap between two asking prices is not a guaranteed profit: it counts neither fees nor trade holds.

The same measure summarised across the whole catalogue: the price gap index, with the median gap and the Steam premium.

Before buying on a gap, read what to check first: wear, variant, timing, final amount.
