We recently talked about what affects the cost of skins and how it can change over time. Now it's time to look at what the skins market for CS:GO looks like now and which skins have become the most expensive by now. Although numerous weapon design options do not provide any competitive advantage, the desire to stand out, add to your collection or make a good investment can push people to spend quite a lot.
Sovenir AWP Dragon Lore
The title of the most famous and most expensive skin is still held by the souvenir AWP Dragon Lore (Dragon Story). It appeared in Operation Breakout in 2014 and soon became the most expensive item in the game. The only way to get a new copy of this skin (and with a very low probability) – open Cobblestone souvenir packs, and due to the fact that the Cobblestone map has disappeared from the tournament map pool, their number is also limited. Because of this, AWP Dragon Lore is extremely rare on sale, and its price exceeds 200 thousand dollars.
★ Sport Gloves | Pandora's Box
Interestingly, second place in the list of the most expensive skins went not to firearms or knives, but to gloves. The ability to change the appearance of gloves appeared in the game in 2016, and Pandora's Box Sports Gloves became one of the first skins of this type. Added with the “Brothers in Arms” update, they could fall out of the corresponding case. Since 2017, they can also be obtained from Operation Hydra cases. The cost of the item starts from 26 thousand dollars.
★ StatTrak™ Ursus Knife Crimson Web
The third place in the list is taken by Bear Knife Bloody Web – design added to CS:GO in 2018. Thanks to its unique inspection animation and detailed design, it quickly earned the love of players. The combination of rarity and beautiful appearance ensured a high price. You can get this knife from the Horizon cases. and “Danger Zone”, and on trading platforms its cost starts from 22 thousand dollars.
★ Sport Gloves | Vice (Factory New)
Fourth place goes to another type of sports gloves – skin called Sports Gloves Vice. Its detailed textures immediately catch the eye, and the contrasting combination of colors emphasizes the design of any weapon the player holds in his hands. The cost of this low float skin starts at $19 thousand.
★ Driver Gloves | King Snake (Factory New)
Finally, in fifth place – King Snake driving gloves, which can be obtained from the Clutch case. The black and white design with a snakeskin texture is prized by collectors and gives this item a high price – from 12.4 thousand.
If you go further through the rating, in the top ten most expensive skins there are things of different categories – These include skins for the main weapons, such as the AK-47 Wild Lotus, and knives, and another example of gloves. So, no matter what a particular collector concentrates his efforts on, he will find something suitable for himself.
