Skin sold for 251k at auction

The auction was handled by “zipeL”, one of the best known skin collectors who also brokered the sale of an AK-47 case hardened skin and knife for half a million dollars.

The M4A4 Howl StatTrack has four iBUYPOWER holo decals from the 2014 EMS One Katowice Major, and while they match the weapon’s colors perfectly, there are reasons beyond aesthetics why collectors want them.

What makes the skin so valuable?

The skin itself is very valuable, but its price has also been pushed up by the controversial stickers that come with it.

ZipeL thinks the sale was cheap, although it’s the most money made on this type of rifle. The skin itself is extremely rare because Valve stopped producing this skin after it was revealed that the design had been stolen. To top off the rare skin, there are four stickers from iBUYPOWER.
