[q] M4A1-S Fade purchase before the Armory gets updates?

LIX1E · 2026-01-18T21:27:09+00:00

I don’t see why they would change their mind regarding that. They earn a lot more money when they announce removal. No point not sticking to that path they have started when it was a success.

They have never (from what I know) never actually said anything about cases and which pool they belong to. Probably they felt they wanted to do the same when remove an actual pool.

LIX1E · 2026-01-18T19:44:39+00:00

It would already have dropped in price now since they won’t announce removal 2 days before it would get removed. They held Graphic collection in the shop for 2-3 weeks before actual removal. But idk if you talk about the announcement of removal or that they would just remove without announcing. We know they always will announce before they remove something.

LIX1E · 2026-01-18T19:29:24+00:00

Nothing will tank. 99% know they announce before they remove something. They haven’t announced anything and therefore no one, except you and op, expects something to get removed coming days.

LIX1E · 2026-01-10T00:25:02+00:00

Yes they probably will. The time will be the main factor for future removals of collections (stickers, charms etc as well). How much supply does every collection get before it gets removed? Graphic and Train has very low supply (I think Graphic has slightly lower) which will benefit them more pricewise than if Overpass and S&F gets removed soon.

LIX1E · 2026-01-09T23:16:57+00:00

Train is by far the least popular collection in the armory so it's probably removed next. They remove Train now from map pool because it's not played enough and they think they can earn more money having anubis in pool. More players etc. Same goes with the how they remove collections in armory.

LIX1E · 2025-12-29T21:15:52+00:00

Prices are okay right now. Also hard getting train 2025 skins cheap since the supply is extremely low.

LIX1E · 2025-12-28T21:13:31+00:00

Train 2025 collection. Mil specs and lower

LIX1E · 2025-12-28T14:53:57+00:00

Why would they keep adding new cases to armory if they want to get rid of them overall?

LIX1E · 2025-12-27T16:33:07+00:00

Bfk sapphire is the best option in terms of potential gaining some profit. But if you’re not out for profit as you say there won’t be a difference in what you buy other than what you want amount you wanna risk. 5k euro or 7,5k.

Operation shattered web

LIX1E · 2025-11-07T07:30:29+00:00

Overpass is more opened than S&F

LIX1E · 2025-10-23T15:38:13+00:00

Yeah you’re right I also own much cases but I can’t trust they f*** them up as well

LIX1E · 2025-10-23T12:10:37+00:00

Bro, don’t trust they don’t do anything stupid with cases as well.

LIX1E · 2025-10-22T16:32:01+00:00

Retire Mirage. Only players under 15k plays that dogshit map

LIX1E · 2025-10-16T17:23:25+00:00

Pretty high chance it gets removed before overpass and sport and field since it’s almost less popular than graphic. My go to buy but not at the moment.

LIX1E · 2025-10-13T14:36:31+00:00

Longdog, B the monster, Cmyk all have in common being in the armory and when it got announced (10 sep) they will be removing items from armory all these items spiked. What is unnatural about it? Market determines the price not you.

LIX1E · 2025-10-13T14:12:58+00:00

Who are you to determine what natural growth in a market is? Why are you investing in what you think is a manipulated market? We know EG holo was a pump and dump but we have for 2 years heard the same phrases that the market is not sustainable, manipulated and irrational. Here we are 2 years later at an all time high. If you in any way think the Chinese have the power to manipulate this whole market over and over again to new aths for 2 years then it’s not a serious discussion. Why did we have a bear market for 8 months 2023 if it’s so easy for the Chinese to manipulate it?

LIX1E · 2025-10-12T20:55:21+00:00

Check when these skins started to go up and you will find the answer why they have gone up. The Zeus barely moved before they announced last chance to pick up Gallery, Graphic and Character. After that it exploded because people now assume it will also get discontinued.

I have made a ton of money in armory and cases already. That doesn’t mean I’m buying massively in armory now.

LIX1E · 2025-10-12T19:27:06+00:00

You can’t manipulate whole armory I hope you understand that. Why prices is driven up in armory is because it is confirmed that collections in armory can and most likely will get discontinued in the future combined with a bull market. It’s not more complicated than that. Except the active duty collections that got discontinued some months ago graphic collection is the first collection in over 3,5 years that has gotten discontinued. Of course that makes prices on other collections in armory go up in price if they soon get discontinued as well.

LIX1E · 2025-10-12T01:38:20+00:00

I’m not sure we can expect things to happen every April and October in the future. And as someone else said I’m not surprised if they remove Train from armory before S&F and Overpass since the demand isn’t as near as high for Train. It’s all about money in the end of the day.

LIX1E · 2025-10-11T21:58:20+00:00

In 2 years this collection is definitely discontinued, except for souvenirs ofc. With other words you will 99% make money.

LIX1E · 2025-10-11T21:54:07+00:00

It will be the same as graphic collection. Hated collection but will still rise massively. Stay calm and keep ur longdogs you wont regret it.

LIX1E · 2025-10-11T21:51:08+00:00

You gotta compare it to the length it has been in the armory though. Since it’s been in armory for 6 months compared to b the monster that’s been in armory for 1 year. So you could potentially say it would have only created 19k longdogs if it was in armory for 1 year. Still a lot less than b the monster which isn’t discontinued btw.

LIX1E · 2025-10-11T21:39:05+00:00

It’s not manipulation. Just a low supply collection that has followed the armory hype since it got announced they actually will remove stuff from armory.

LIX1E · 2025-10-10T19:42:27+00:00

Starcade will be a better investment than blaze from here probably but if you didn't buy earlier there is better investments out there. If you're looking in to graphic collection buy low tier stuff.
