The most unexpected skins deals
How much does the most expensive AWP skin cost? Can you sell your sticker for $1900? How much the collectors are ready to pay for rare skins? Here are 3 deals with skins and stickers that are hard to believe.
AWP Dragon Lore for $61,000
At the end of January 2018, soon after the end of the ELEAGUE Boston Major, the most expensive AWP skin in history was sold. The price is so high for many reasons. Firstly, this is a souvenir skin, secondly, it has a sticker of MVP major, Tyler Skadoodle Latham, and thirdly, this Dragon Lore is almost in perfect quality.
Initially, the skin was acquired by a collector named Drone for $35,000. This has already introduced AWP | Dragon Lore into the pantheon of the most expensive digital things. At some point, the new owner decided to sell the asset and put it up with a price tag of $61,000. According to Drone himself: “That’s the lowes price I could set.” However, someone still bought it.
In a similar situation was Ladislav GuardiaN Kovacs. In February 2016, he bought Dragon Lore with his own autograph. The transaction value was much less then. Newbie Na`Vi sniper gave “only” $10,000 per skin.
Stickers and their owners
The most expensive sticker in the game is the holographic Vox Eminor. In some cases, one sticker was sold for 1900 dollars. Together with other IEM Katowice 2014 stickers, it forms the top five most expensive stickers. If you cut off the team ones, then the Howling Dawn can easily find a new owner who is willing to pay from $200 per unit.
200 bucks stickers should probably decorate the most expensive skins, right? And no! In the CS:GO community, there are real snappy dressers that decorate standard weapons skins with hundreds of dollars worth stickers. The highest point of this movement can be considered battle-hardened P250 | Sand Dune with holographic sticker iBUYPOWER | Katowice 2014. The difference between the cost of the skin, 3 cents, and the sticker, 600 dollars, is minimal. The second is “only” 20,000 times more expensive than the first.
The Blue Knife
60,000 dollars AWP’s, stickers for 2,000 bucks – all this for the “have-nots”. For amateur gatherers, so to speak. Real swag collectors buy blue knives at 100,000 apiece. At least that’s how much Newbrage gave for Karambit | Case hardened. The playing side of this knife is entirely covered in shades of blue. Funnily, the flip side looks pretty plain.
However, for Newbrage this is not the first “blue” skin. For example, he owns AK | Case Hardened with four rare Titan stickers. The collector calls himself a “blue gem #1 collector” and offers to purchase some items from his collection for tens, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
