Forum thread: where to buy skins?

This ratio is best

2022-05-20 14:25

buff.163.com, but you will have to get someone to exchange buff money with you at a good rate.

+1 I know heyzeus sells buff balance occasionally

^^ adding onto this. It’s actually really simple to deposit onto buff. Just download alipay on your phone or something, and click tourpass. You will have to send them your passport details as verification but it’s super simple and safe. After that you just deposit the money onto Alipay, open buff and click deposit. Type the amount in (in rmb) and boom it’s on your buff. You only get charged 5% from alipay deposit but other than that there is no extra fees. You can’t withdraw though which sucks

You can also use another website to buy TF2 keys in bulk then sell them on buff. I do that since I don't wanna bother downloading some chinese apps and giving them my passport.

Is it profit though? I mean that’s fair enough but surely you save money if you just deposit through Alipay. I know a lot of people dont want to use Alipay though

I don't really have the stats on that so maybe you would save more money on alipay? I just needed a quick 5-6 dollar deposit so at max i maybe paid like $0.5 more than i needed which doesnt hurt me

1:1 is literally the best ratio you can get on any marketplace, I don't understand what your issue is with paying 200 euros for a 200 euro skin

he is trying to say that it's same price as steam market but englando and brain weak

2022-05-20 15:00

he's right, you usually find skins cheaper on this kind of sites than steam market because steam takes a fee too high so people will put skins cheaper, if for example i want to sell my 100euro skin i would rather sell it on a site than steam market to get the cash not steam balance.

Doesn't everyone of these sites take a fee? If not, then what's the point of them offering that service

they take a fee but not that big as steam and i get the cash in my bank or paypal instead of steam balance where i can only buy other skins or games.

Yeah but Skinbaron operates the same way, and you find skins cheaper than market price there too

What, no? You can buy skins on Skinbaron with real money and you can find some good offers below market price there, isn't that the question?

2022-05-20 15:07

There are sites where you get 30% less then steammarket tho, which is not the case with most items on skinbaron

1:1 rate with the value of the skin, not what you find on steam market. AKA you go to a site like Steamanalyst and compare it to the general consensus of 3rd party skin buying sites

Sorry that I can't read people's minds, I didn't expect anyone to compare 3rd party prices with the steam market

2022-05-20 15:33

there is no "actual skin value" lol

2022-05-22 15:37

they buy skin for like 60 % of market price from random steam user and sell it for 80 % of market price, how can you ask whats the point? lmao

because steam market is overpriced, you want to buy skins for less than what they are listed on the steam market for

if u buy on facebook groups with real money u get skins for 60-65% of the price.

How many people buy skins through 3rd party services and how many buy skins 1 by 1 per direct selling in comparison?

2022-05-20 15:31

1 reply

steam is responsible for around 85% of all csgo listings. i think the number of people buying skins through 3rd party sites vs pier-to-pier is closer than u think, but neither should be the going market rate when its only dealing with a small percentage of listings.

2022-05-20 15:36

´the skin is worth less tho. steam price =/ item price and youll always make a huge loss

why the fuck would you compare a skin price with steam market, obviously you compare skin price with 3rd party sites

buff is best for cheapest skins and low selling fee, only problem is the only way you can get buff balance is by selling skins on it or by buying buff balance (includes a fee) with crypto/bank transfer etc from a trusted trader from twitter or something
