On April 16, the 2nd most expensive skin trade in CS:GO history was made for $500,000 by Zipel. So how much do you think the most expensive skin trades in CS:GO history?
ECSTATIC co-founder and famous CS:GO collector Oliver “zipeL” Behrensdorff, also known as “Luksusbums,” announced that he sold his AK-47 Case Hardened + Karambit Case Hardened skins for more than $500,000+ on his Twitter account.
The trade includes a Well-Worn Karambit Case Hardened, which experts estimated to be worth over $100,000.
Here are 2 skins worth more than 500 thousand dollars:
- AK-47 Case Hardened (Well-Worn) (StatTrak™) Pattern #661. (Extremely rare pattern number that makes the skin more “blue.” With 4 Titan IEM Katowice 2014 (Holo) Stickers. (1 of them has an estimated value of $60k.)
- Karambit Case Hardened (Well-Worn) (Blue Gem) Pattern #337 (Extremely rare pattern number that makes it more “blue.” We estimate that there are only around 80 ‘known’ in the game.
Luksusbums listed his AK-47 for sale at the end of 2022, with an asking price of $400,000. However, due to the price rise in conjunction with the impending release of Counter-Strike 2 and the addition of Karambit to the offer, the total amount increased by 30%.
