why are skins for guns so expensive

why are skins for most guns in CS:GO so expensive

well if it is wanted by the whole community then prices go up as there is a finite amount

But if they are exprnsive why we buy them. Man gamehag help you to dont buy skins for csgo for real money

there are tons of 3 cent skins

Atmost times the market is driven by how much the community enjoys the look of the skin but there are at sometimes where the rarity of the gun puts a huge factor on the price, for example, Ak-47 fire serpent goes well over $1000 but the main factor for this is because the case from which this skin comes from is in limited in stock as of right now, and its the covert rifle in that specific case which raises the price by alot. But there are plenty of skins right now that are at a fairly cheap price, for example, AWP Atheris (I personally enjoy the look of this skin) goes for about 5usd for field-tested, if you get the lower float value the better!

some of them are rare and some people are stupid enough to pay that much

I agree, rarity and demand go hand in hand with the value of certain skins.

game became free to play ------> more player, and chinese buyers are increasing the price too
