The skin trade in CS:GO is getting bigger and bigger, and as the years go by, we see how the prices of weapons tend to be exorbitant. Several years ago, the most expensive skins cost close to $2,000. However, now we have some that exceed $150K.

With this, we can realize that while there are hundreds of thousands of cheap skins, some are also extremely expensive. So much so that many skins traders make a living in this world or, at the very least, are an additional income for their daily life.

CS:GO player sells a skin at a very low price for being drunk

A few days ago, a CS:GO player and skin trader sold a skin valued at $20,000 at a very low price because he was drunk. According to the information posted, it is an AK-47 skin (ST, Factory New, and with four Holo stickers from IEM Katowice 2014). This skin is valued at approximately $20,000, but this skin dealer forgot to put one zero too many in the amount because he was drunk and sold it for only $2,000.

According to Derpz, a well-known CS:GO community skin trader, this “ST FN AK Vulcan 4x Mixed Katowice 2014 Holo” is worth approximately $20k. Even with the fluctuations that exist every second on the Steam market, this skin could cost between $15K and $17K.

A short time later, Derpz posted another Tweet confirming that the seller was drunk and sold the skin without checking the price.

Confusion over AK-47 Vulcan Factory New price

While the seller claims he was drunk when selling the skin and mistakenly failed to put one zero too many, he could also have been confused, as AK-47 Vulcan Factory New AK-47s sell for around $2,000.

However, in this variant of the AK-47, two attractions undoubtedly increase the price considerably. First, the weapon is a Stattrak; as we all know, this type of skin is usually much more expensive. On the other hand, the skin had four Holo stickers from IEM Katowice 2014, which undoubtedly increased the value of the skin in general.

Finally, nowadays, it cannot be easy to price certain skins. Remember that we must consider patterns, stickers, fluctuation, availability in the store, and much more.
