How To Sell Your Csgo Skins For Real Money

Sell CS:GO Skins in 2020 - Why? Where? How?

In-game items monetisation is a powerful feature which brings more excitement to the gaming process itself. Cosmetic items don't ruin the gaming balance or diversify a game itself, instead, by bringing more in-game content they give us opportunities to enjoy lovely games without pay-to-win frustration.

One of my favorite games - CS:GO, is one of those titles, where you can show off your skills without any real money investment. Valve created the genre of tactic shooter, putting your skills and ability to communicate with teammates into 1st place.

Since December 2018, anyone can play CS:GO without having to pay any $ for it. Valve makes it free for everyone. This strategy helps CS:GO to earn more than 1,000,000 online concurrent users.

The Power of CS:GO

IMO the real power of CS:GO is not a new distribution model, Shattered Web Agents or Danger Zone Mode. The real power of CS:GO, is that it moves through the years and helps to overcome any setbacks - skins.

Skins give you the power to go ahead, and mental superiority over your enemies. But you should remember that your skill matters the most. For these who want to kill their enemies or get a higher rank , we've prepared an authoritative guide to conquer as a Global Elite in CS:GO.

Skins Were Meant For Trading

In CS:GO, you begin by starting with the default inventory. Over time, your inventory replenishes with free weapons skins, which you get when you reach some experience levels. In our article CS:GO Ranks and Ranking System, you'll find out all the details about ranks and the full list of experience levels in CS:GO.

Trading CS:GO Skins For Real Money

You can always complete your inventory with different skins from the market. Starting from skins with a price of under 1$ and up to rare and exclusive in-game items priced at thousand of dollars. You'll find out in our article The Best CS:GO Skins the list of the top CS:GO skins with their prices, starting from $0.1. But you don't need to spend a lot of money every time when you want to get a new skin. The best way for you is to sell your old skins and get new ones.

The main idea of this article is:

You don't need to spend a lot of money, again and again. You will master the recycling of your skins, by selling them and buying new skins, then selling them again and buying new ones, etc. In a few words, you will find out how to trade CS:GO skins and stay in profit.

If you have got skins that you have not used for a long time, you need to sell them. We will then spin the economic wheel of CS:GO! It sounds like something crazy, but that's why we are here.

Where to Sell CS:GO Skins

Players around the world are familiar with how to buy CS:GO skins. They know how to use the Steam marketplace for that purpose, or 3rd party services. But how to sell skins, while gaining as much profit as possible, and earning extra cash???

You have several options:

Steam Marketplace
3rd party services (Such as DMarket)

How to choose between these two options? If you want to spend all your money within the Steam platform (for buying games, as an example), then choose Steam Marketplace. If you want to make a profit out of skins trading using a friendly interface, or if you want to earn real money, then choose 3rd party services.

The main difference between Steam and 3rd party services is, of course, an opportunity to withdraw $ and earn real money. This is an excellent way to show everyone that the game is not only a place for spending money, but where you can also earn some.
