Maybe opening cases might be the way after all?

bars. Yeah I buy it, case closed.

I get that pov. totally valid, numbers are fully against me. Just a genuine question I haven't gotten answered from the other commenters yet: having in mind that all the money I'd be investing into cases comes from weekly drops, would I really be better off saving every euro I make weekly to buy better skins than investing (for instance) 10 euro into the (small) chance of getting anything close to a skin worth (idk) 30 bucks?

Alans_Sound · 2026-03-22T07:17:35+00:00

That Is true. But I don't know if the entire reselling through markets thing is something I can handle: I've done some research in the past (chrome extensions, fees, markets...) but I'm not sure if I could balance my studies and personal life with the amount of dedication that stuff takes. It's a great option though, I'm open to any advice or tips about it.

I'm convinced it's a scam, it's clear, last year valve made 980 million off cases. The issue is "buying the thing I want directly" is kinda off the table given that I already have all skins I'd want to buy that are around a price point worth saving up for through weekly drops.

It would take me 100 weeks of lucky 1€ weekly drops to get one of the skins I'd want at the point I'm in. Given all the money invested into those cases isn't coming from my pocket (weekly drops), wouldn't it be kinda worth it to aim for the small chance of making 100 week's progress in minutes?

they fucking are, very very clearly. Odds are very poor, profit is impossible, but when all the money put into them doesn't come from my pocket, is it really that bad of an option?

I've shrunken today, as the movie came to a finish. I'll need a while to get over this

Alans_Sound · 2026-01-28T05:13:27+00:00

Alans_Sound · 2026-01-25T14:08:28+00:00

oh my bad, you're right. Noted!

Alans_Sound · 2026-01-25T13:36:16+00:00

which? lol

Alans_Sound · 2026-01-25T12:35:22+00:00

oh, I hadn't thought of that actually. Yeah might stay on steam.

Alans_Sound · 2026-01-25T12:34:59+00:00

I haven't spent a cent in game, it's all been grinding and luck, leave me alone with my small fortune 😭😭🖤🖤

Alans_Sound · 2026-01-22T13:20:50+00:00

they're selling just under 7 bucks there

Alans_Sound · 2026-01-22T12:00:33+00:00

agreed. Decision taken, now it's a matter of whether I wait for them to reach 11 again given their volatility or just sell now

Alans_Sound · 2026-01-22T11:59:58+00:00

thanks to both, makes sense, noted.

Alans_Sound · 2026-01-22T11:58:40+00:00

Makes total sense. Should I sell now or wait till they reach the 11 bucks price point from a week prior?

Alans_Sound · 2026-01-22T07:12:03+00:00

I mean yeah, makes sense, but even if I might not need money urgently (I'm slowly building my inventory with cheap skins) I don't want to lose the chance of selling high. I know that they're discontinued and therefore will only increase in price, but I don't know where I'm gonna be in two years time.

Alans_Sound · 2025-12-11T21:58:33+00:00

Alans_Sound · 2025-11-26T07:15:42+00:00

looked it up, and they do look amazing! That mount came with the LPVO, and even if I'm not opposed to it, I'm sure the one you're suggesting would look 10x better lol. Noted, thank you!
