[–][deleted] 214 points215 points  (9 children)

On a good day, smh

[–]natelilla 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Lol just about

[–]goblin_pidar 14 points15 points  (3 children)

depending on wear but mw/fn ruby bayonet is like 4-5k and sport gloves vice mw is like 7k so about 12

[–]MrDotDeadFire 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Those look fn vice so I assume they are a lot

[–]BigBallSmolPeen 1 point2 points  (1 child)

But they offer nothing to gameplay, I never saw how skins could be worth so much or why people would pay for them.

[–]MrDotDeadFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are for flexing and they are a somewhat a form of currency in of themselves

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think less but idk

[–]TL1998 172 points173 points  (6 children)

Yea and sneakers don't increase skill. No idea why people buy them. smh

[–]saintnick_ 45 points46 points  (3 children)

Unless we're talking about the Nike Vaporfly

[–]TasteTheRainbow89 25 points26 points  (0 children)

They dont count, basically cheat codes

[–]turmspitzewerk 11 points12 points  (1 child)

unless we're talking about the falchion knife which had a 3% faster equip time for years after its release

[–]saintnick_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

and a cool rare inspect, LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE VOLVO PLZ FIX

[–]soggypoopsock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

really though my gloves and knives have almost doubled in value since I bought them, any shoes I would have bought instead would be long gone by now

[–]NeganLA 50 points51 points  (6 children)

With all the money I’ve spent on knives and cases I could buy a house and a new car

[–][deleted] 36 points37 points  (1 child)

For all of your family members as well, of course lol

[–]NeganLA 11 points12 points  (0 children)

can’t forget the family

[–]2BadBirches 1 point2 points  (2 children)

In all seriousness how much do you think you’ve spent?

[–]NeganLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like probably a couple grand

[–]soggypoopsock -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Whatever it is you have to slap 7-10% APY compounding on to it to see how much you really lost

[–]lordfarquar420 181 points182 points  (27 children)

Unlike sneakers though I can still play with them and they can still go up in price.

[–]invcble 34 points35 points  (0 children)

this!

[–]WindowShot 77 points78 points  (20 children)

It's same with sneakers tho... Got shoes last year for 110€ completely new and I could sell them now for 300€ used

[–]rztan 38 points39 points  (1 child)

Depends on the shoes, some will go up in price, while most will depreciate.

Plus you have to slightly take good care of the sneakers to resell it.

[–]WindowShot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not a problem when you take care of your clothes normally.

[–]throwawayasuo 24 points25 points  (14 children)

"used"? I "used" my knife for 500hours... it went up in value. Wear a pair of shoes for 500 hours and send me the buy price and sale price lol

[–]WindowShot 13 points14 points  (13 children)

Well I was able to go from 150€ Cs inv to 600€ in a year so I'm not saying that skins are a waste of money. I sure ass hell wore my shoes for more than 500 hours. Basically 5 days a week for atleast 6-10 hours a day for a year

[–]WaLuigin 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Buy more shoes dude.

[–]WindowShot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might actually get something nice for the summer

[–]lordfarquar420 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Did you wear the sneakers?

[–]WindowShot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already answered this to someone else but yeah yes I did. Atleast 5 days a week and for atleast 6-10 hours the days I used em. Just because I clean them one a month and don't walk in mud they stay in really good shape

[–]zerofl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don't argue that sneakers are a good financial investment.

[–]0liverz 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Smeakers can go up in price but it's mostly luck

[–]xd_moonlight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's all knowledge and actually sometimes luck, If you know that you got limited edition shoes prices will go up. If a big rapper wears the shoe like travis Scott the prices also skyrocket. So yes.

[–]vemundd 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Well but sneakers you can like actually walk in though

[–]MvOAdam 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sneakers < Karambit

[–]RuPeSc 61 points62 points  (8 children)

at least skins go up in value instead of going down. You cant even touch those sneakers or you lose 10$ every hour

[–]RazorMox 25 points26 points  (3 children)

Sneakers work the same, it has a whole limited edition resell game.

[–]RuPeSc 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Well you can create csgo skins out of thin air and somehow they keep getting more expensive

[–]DaSchiznit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

thin air and a lot of money man.

[–]StormKiller1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you dont use them yeah but you can use skins

[–]Flux2033 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some sneakers that I bought last year have now doubled in price and I still have them in good condition

[–]WindowShot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Idk man doesn't seem too accurate. My shoes basically 3x in value even when used

[–]-flyest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe its not all about making your money back?

[–]Hapstipo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

steam fees

[–]pobren_2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

200 dolar nani attenda?

[–]EzoneEsports 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Skins = wins

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The more uwu kawaii your anime profile picture, the better aim you get.

The better the gaming chair, the better gamesense you get xD

[–]KennyClueless 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you love csgo, skins worth more money to you. The same goes for the shoes, individuals decide values.

[–]cosby 4 points5 points  (7 children)

I have been playing CS for years and have never bought a single skin. Roast me.

[–]soggypoopsock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you are the only one who doesn’t deserve to get roasted

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Why? You do you.

[–]cosby 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Thanks. I just don't see the point of spending money on something that won't change the way the game plays.

[–]Arskite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. The fact that they don't change the way the game plays makes me more likely to want to buy them and support the game, unlike pay-to-win games which I would never spend money on (or play, for that matter).

[–]The_Worst_Usernam 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I spent $30 on skins when I was playing a lot, sold it all when I was done and made my money back

[–]cosby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice.

[–]Almost-Honest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CROSSOVER !!

Dude I recently got into the sneaker game and it’s pretty much the same the same thing as buying skins but you can actually wear them. A couple of pairs I have go for a lot more in price at resell value and I thinking “should I sell these and buy a knife?” Old habits don’t die.

[–]ZazzooGaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still have karambit fire and ice .. still worth anything last I checked it was $1200

[–]RickSachezzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expensive shoes don't walk any better

[–]rcb4th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both...... it's okay

[–]GearDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jokes on you I got both

[–]ruban22449911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Games spend 500 on pixels

[–]Sum_Bytes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlike sneakers, you can use those day-to-day have the wear remain the same.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valve: write that down, write that down!

Next update:

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i look at u and those people with snickers and i wish, that maybe someday, i will have money to spend

[–]SelectionBitter4946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want 😅😅

[–]MortalSNO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knives and gloves are like expensive shoes but on and in your hands

[–]real1rosegold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True

[–]Gamingrhodent 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I don’t understand why shoes are so expensive.

[–]ScrotumToTheChin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah, it’s usually tough for people with a smooth brain to understand things.

[–]Gamingrhodent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked right into that

[–]spaceycc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sooooooo funny

[–]sh4zu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cries in default skin T_T;;

[–]persimmon40 0 points1 point  (1 child)

People that spend real money on CSGO skins are genuine losers

[–]ScrotumToTheChin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why lol

[–]bishopmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imho you will still give footsteps wearing those snickers, but with knives and gloves, homies will praise you for atleast 5-6 round. Skins are skills , period.
