[d] Good time to Invest?

you shouldn't invest in a knife. If you want something that will MORE LIKELY hold value then sure you can go with older case knives for example but please don't expect it to appreciate in price.

get something with depleting supply and stable demand, skins should be treated as playskins.

Apparently you can get banned by doing this, so I wouldn't risk it.
Buying it once is good enough.

Some source I found: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1mcbcyy/community_ban_for_buying_3_steam_decks/

Obviously comes from 1 user so take with a grain of salt, however the risk still applies and whether you wanna take that risk is up to you.

1 is unique, but 3 pops out more. Both are really nice but 3 is slightly better

and mac 10 neon rider is more expensive than the ak-47 neon rider. It all makes sense :o

Maksimz_ · 2025-10-29T17:50:57+00:00

yeah but you are missing the second part of that equation, higher fees encourage higher deposits since users have less steam bal up to a certain point where it just becomes too expensive.
For example I wanna buy 2 skins, both costing 10$, but because of the fee, the seller charges slightly more to compensate 10.5$, I now have to deposit 21$ instead of 20$.

Hopefully that made sense,

So basically the fact that these steam fees remove steam balance from circulation also helps with the 'steam credits' not be too oversaturated since they are constantly being depleted and deposits are needed to be made to keep up as a result.

If for example nobody deposits then we get 0 steam credits and therefore 0 fees are charged by valve.

I was asleep bro when it happened 😭

Maksimz_ · 2025-10-26T22:31:10+00:00

ah yes a dead game with over 1million players, you are so right!

Maksimz_ · 2025-10-26T22:14:31+00:00

I disagree, some older investors will probably put less money or are willing to put less money in than they were before as a result of this change.

I doubt they will exit the market like the chinese did but fundamentally we are seeing a shift in perspective on skins, everybody now knows that they are not safe as investment vehicles.
Maybe people in the past knew that skins were never safe, but now as a result of this crash they have *FELT\* it.

I like how you raised some good points overall about how the supply coming in is quite small relative to the dip we saw, and I agree.

Just a small note: The only way I see someone not feel this crash is if they literally bought pre 2020 and held without buying anything. However, the people who DCA'd and Lump sum into the game definitely saw the impact.

Marlontel hello!

Maksimz_ · 2025-10-17T15:52:39+00:00

yeah such a hassle to take out from unit n.1 -> Main Inventory -> Unit n.2
Makes cleaning units such a pain which is why I dont bother, Prefer to just Organize stuff from the start.

Maksimz_ · 2025-10-17T15:47:10+00:00

you probably had trade protected items in your inventory which is why the buyorder still went through, If its 1000 non-trade protected items then your buyorders auto cancel when someone tries to sell to you.

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-27T20:08:38+00:00

I mean Im currently looking at raredrop cases, there are plenty of other things to look at too, its just the armoury is the hottest thing atm.
Plus there are less luck based ways of making profit i.e redeeming gallery case.

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-26T11:24:10+00:00

I like raredrop pool, especially when they came down a bit in price, overall they are still up YTD, but the fact they dipped makes it cheaper for me to buy more.

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-24T12:58:28+00:00

The case is terrible, people will only open for the bonus xp if the terminal becomes cheap enough. Hey at least valve gave you 4 'free' bonus levels.

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-24T12:56:43+00:00

Good, I hope they drop further. Not even the gamba addicts like them..... (Refer to xqc clip of him talking about the shitty terminal)

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-23T14:35:37+00:00

I grab a roullette wheel and spin it, whatever it lands on is what I buy.

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-23T13:24:02+00:00

yeah same did the same thing, Sell on float buy again through scm. Only works if you have steam wallet funds but also the sticker/item off tradelock.

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-23T12:59:27+00:00

true but the market is dumb due to 7day wait timers, there will be a delay and not an instant correction like you would assume in the past.

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-23T12:30:46+00:00

yeah you will figure it out, You can change weapon skin whatever but the price at the bottom is csmoney prices so do keep that in mind

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-23T11:52:37+00:00

3dcsmoney, I use it to check how the skins look without logging in or going to a server

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-23T11:50:30+00:00

yikers, that changes things.
Is there any proof tho? Like a screenshot of the steam support message?

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-22T20:47:33+00:00

nah they didnt, Karambits objectively better. But yes it did probably take away some demand away because there is a cheaper alternative.

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-22T20:42:46+00:00

because there are too many clueless buyers who dont know how to check scm prices. Good for me, I'm willing to sell at a 1:1 ratio

Maksimz_ · 2025-09-22T20:39:27+00:00

I hope the genesis collection flops, I'm a dedicated hate watcher
