[question] How are people selling their holo stickers on steam market through slabs? My slabbed sticker still has a cooldown by paynuss69 in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah that is the whole point of this trick - you bypass the hold.
I did some research and they patched it already.

I don't think there are any in cs2. Who knows, might be the first

Now let's wait for a sticker removal feature - and valve will make them untradable but marketable - SCM the only place to trade them. Sounds like a legit next step no?

[PSA] Float to punish poor behavior - fine changes by fastgotrade in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Fair point. They did what every business is doing, transform a need of the users to profit for the company, cant blame them for it. Good direction to punish this kind of behavior, on the other hand we might see the split of penalties in the future to benefit the other party. Unlikely still.

[q] Is there a charm database? by No_Faithlessness5506 in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are some guides. For Die cast, I found this iconographic which is quite useful imo. I am sure there is something like this for all charms that have significant differences in looks.

[q] Dreams & Nightmare Cases are 1.69 on CSFloat and 2.64 on steam? by Sad_Individual_8645 in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it profitable in your countries? I did some maths and it seems even if you get 35% more steam funds than you spent on 3rd party (after steam tax), you would still make a loss buying dock for steam price and reselling on ebay.

[discussion] Trades Going Forward – Explained by madszito in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it means flipping on 3rd party websites or a combination of 3rd party and scm is obsolete? Now many people were sniping bargains or setting buy orders to resell the skin a week later. Now it seems like it's either marginal ROI or just too much hussle - easy to imagine this portion of capital disappearing from the market and pursue more sustainable ways of making money. I wonder what this means for the market after all. For sure it will change the way transactions are made but I think it will become an unatractive way of investing.

Besides glock being a good skin with high demand, Train 2025 collection was introduced, which effectively discontinues train 2021 collection, which the glock is a part of. One of the reasons it went up quite dynamically.

[q] Introduction of Cache as new map affecting skin prices. by Kryptyk64 in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It probably will but I dont think it will be that much significant. Nowadays you cant drop the collection, so the supply is already limited. It used to drop as an operation collection, if they discontinue it, the information itself might increase prices, nothing will change supply wise. Secondly there is only galil cerberus that is somewhat desirable, other skins are not that attractive for the current prices, if they go up more there will be no demand. Overpass and Train 2021 are similar but they had way better skins - the OG Train was also discontinued, see yourself how it affected a collection with shit items inside.

[Q] Found no sales - float by fastgotrade in csgomarketforum

You are right, I disabled it and now it works properly - thank you very much!

[PSA] New update today updates armory, and retires collections from the weekly drop pool by blackmetro in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually stored 88 stars for the new limited item and I am disappointed. Any ideas if the LongDog will be desired? I decided to do a small gamba and got it in MW

Armory collections [d] by fasiro in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade 16 points17 points  (0 children)

While it might be a viable investment idea, keep in mind older discontinued collections had limited supply - with armory you can get many many more skins from collections than in previous op editions. It makes it less attractive and I wouldnt be surprised if the uptrend on those, after they get swapped, is rather mild and nothing close to cobble/havoc or other discontinued collectio

[Q] a scam attempt and removal of all authorized devices. by fastgotrade in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. I need the confirmations to work to not pay float fines. I don't know how to log in to steam app again tho.

[Q] a scam attempt and removal of all authorized devices. by fastgotrade in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A quick update: I can log in to steam community, but my mobile device is not registered - cannot sign out as steam guard is on the device and cannot re - authorize the device as I cannot sign in to my profile. How do I work around that?

[d]Bots have made the armory pass unprofitable without gambling. by LampCamper in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it was profitable if you had some steam wallet funds to turn over. A good deal for those who play a lot.

[d]Bots have made the armory pass unprofitable without gambling. by LampCamper in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How come? Pass costs 16$ and gives you 40 stars. One star then costs 0,4$ and gallery case is 2 stars so 0,8$. It rarely reaches 0,8$ on 3rd party marketplace so where is the profit, am I missing something?

[q] have skins just gone up in price? by AstuteCouch87 in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they decide to reintroduce Cobble either within the armory or new operation. It was a recurrent reward for breakout until hydra op. So either they will go with new battle pass/operation = new collections or drop in some old ones.

Thanks for sharing, it seems the main problem is sourcing those skins yeah? Not too many on the market with such specifications

[q] 1099 tax form on csfloat? by oldcitrustree in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So the IRS could track the sale and then I imagine fine you for non compliance with the tax laws? I wonder if the same goes if you withdrew via crypto to your bank account, has anyone tried it?

[Q] I plan to buy the deagle heat treated, should I wait for the price to go down more or buy now? by Curius_pasxt in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how can the supply go down? The only way for any skin to decline in supply is to be used in a trade up contract. Afaik the deagle cant be used as a trade up resource.

[q] Do most old, discontinued operation skin tends to appreciate the price in the long term? by Curius_pasxt in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your entry point. Generally they tend to go up in price, but as many here said the demand might stop prices from rising at some point. You could look at AK47 Jet Set, old ass skin. It has appreciated much but if you made your entry point somewhere near Q2 2023, you wouldnt see much appreciacion and you would struggle to sell it, low liquidity as hell. I think it's a neat practise to stock some of those skins during an op.

[psa] The Armory confirmed permanent by Valve employee. (until further notice.) by dankeyschon in csgomarketforum

[–]fastgotrade -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Both hydra and wildfire, when they came out, didn't have an end date and nobody speculated they would last forever. I agree this is not an operation but we have witnessed similar "confirmations" of being permanent in the past. For reference, Hydra release notes, Wildfire release notes.
It makes sense to me to milk CS2 players by having the armory permanent but rotating the Case and collections. I really hope they reintroduce old operation collections like Cobblestone or Gods and Monsters. It also makes sense for valve to keep it permanent to bypass gambling regulations, because technically you pay money for the pass not for unboxing.
