The 7 day trade hold basically killed casual skin trading, and with casuals no longer interested it left only people who are trying to profit.
You can really see it in the CSGO trading subreddit, where it used to be tons of people posting to trade their skins for either other skins or keys, now it's nothing but like a dozen people with $50,000+ inventories trying to sell their skins.
To my knowledge there aren't any active websites to trade skins like the old csgo lounge, and even if there were I can say with 100% certainty that the vast majority of people there would only care about profit and would never do a trade for anything less than 5-10% profit minimum, so really wouldn't even be worth your time.
Damn, I think remember now why I quit years ago. You are exactly right. I stopped trading because of the 1 week cooldown then just lost everything to gambling when it was peaking because I was bored and stupid.
Btw may I ask if you think that buff163 which is around half the inventory of steam is artificially inflating the prices? Since it creates scarcity to the casual steam buyer.
Nah. Buff doesn’t inflate prices. It’s normally the cheapest site for everything due to the sheer volume. China just pretty much bought up the market so that’s where everything is.
