Match the exact item to the Steam offer, because wear, StatTrak, Souvenir and stickers all change the price. Prices cover the item and its wear only. Float, paint seed, stickers and patterns can move a price and are not included.

All three price bases

The same trade at each basis. The verdict above uses the one marked current.

Before you accept

A fair price does not make a trade safe. These are the checks that matter in Steam.

What you receive is locked for 7 days, and the trade can be reversed in that time. Everything that arrives by Steam trade is Trade Protected for 7 days. You can use it in game, but not sell it, trade it, put it in a contract or add stickers. A reversal costs the sender a 30-day trade and market ban but still returns the items. Never pay for skins outside Steam, whether in cash, crypto, gift cards or on another site, because a reversal leaves you with no item and no refund.At instant cash prices, that is $29.20 you cannot cash out for 7 days.

Read the exact items in the Steam confirmation. Check the wear, StatTrak, Souvenir tag, stickers and item count. A lookalike swapped in at the last second is the most common trick. Confirm only in the Steam mobile app, and only from the profile you checked.
Never share your API key, trade link or Steam Guard codes. Do not follow links from chat to a "trader check", "verification" or "escrow" site either. Real marketplaces never ask you to send items to a person to hold.
Check what the price leaves out. Low floats, rare paint seeds, Doppler phases and valuable stickers sell above the listing price. If either side has one, price it with a float or sticker tool before agreeing.

Counterparty checks

Optional: paste their profile to read account age, level and bans from Steam.

A clean profile is not a guarantee. Account age and bans help, but they cannot tell you whether the person will complete the trade as agreed. Confirm every item in the Steam trade window.

Trade fairness questions

How do I check whether a CS2 trade is fair?

Price each item by what it sells for, not by its Steam Market price alone. Steam prices run above marketplace prices and ignore float, pattern and stickers. This checker prices both sides the same way, as instant cash bids, as the cheapest marketplace listings or as Steam listings, and shows who comes out ahead and by how many dollars.

What do You gain, You lose and Even mean?

The gap is measured against the smaller side. Within 5% either way the trade counts as Even. Beyond that, You gain means what you receive is worth more than what you give, and You lose means the opposite. The checker starts on instant cash when every item has a bid, and on the cheapest listing otherwise.

Does the price include float, patterns and stickers?

No. Prices cover the item and its wear only. Low floats, rare paint seeds, Doppler phases and valuable stickers can sell above the listing price, so price those with a float or sticker tool before agreeing.

What does the profile check tell me about the other trader?

It reads their account age, Steam level and bans from Steam. A clean profile is not a guarantee, because those signals cannot tell you whether the person will complete the trade as agreed. Confirm every item in the Steam trade window before you accept.

Which price basis should I use for a trade?

Instant cash shows what you would get if you sold now. Lowest ask shows what it costs to buy. Steam shows the Steam Market listing, paid in wallet funds. The checker starts on instant cash when every item has a bid, and on the cheapest listing otherwise, and you can switch between the three.

Why does the Steam row show a bigger gap?

Steam listings run above marketplace prices, and Steam pays in wallet funds that cannot be withdrawn as cash. That is why the Steam row usually shows a larger gap than the Instant cash or Lowest ask rows. For real-money value, read those two.
