Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) Skin Prices
Steam's Community Market is a real, first-party marketplace, so prices here are the actual going rate, not an estimate. Values are in US dollars and already include Steam's built-in fee, which is why third-party skin marketplaces are often cheaper for the same item.
The watchlist below is a starter set of commonly-traded skins. Prices load live from Steam through a caching layer to stay within Steam's rate limits, so a row may briefly show a dash if Steam throttles a request.

Frequently asked questions
Why are Steam prices higher than third-party skin marketplaces?
Steam takes a fee from every sale which sellers price in, and Steam Wallet funds from a sale cannot be withdrawn as cash — only spent on Steam. Third-party sites compete by offering cash withdrawal and lower fees.
What does Factory New / Field-Tested mean?
CS2 skins have a wear rating from Factory New (best condition) down to Battle-Scarred (most worn); wear meaningfully changes a skin's price even for the exact same design.
