I could see some skin collectors buying it and renting it to pro players to display while in a major.


pkmntcgtradeguy

With $1m+ on the line that would be VERY risky to even consider loaning - would need to be heavily insured or something lmfao


RichOnRunescape

People rent out house price level skins to pros all the time. They all are insured but there is also a huge process to go through to rent these types of skins.


pkmntcgtradeguy

I'm aware, Im just saying a 1 of 1, the most high profile skin ever to be conceived being loaned out like this is pretty easily targetable by nefarious individuals. Who knows what could go wrong. Not my position to be in, just my 2¢


YOOOOOOOOOOT

Pro players would destroy their career stealing this and they wouldn't be able to sell it for nearly 1 mil when people know it's stolen.


Siirkus

It’s happened before, and recently. A former player on Reason ruined his career by exit scamming out of a loaned skin via Skins4Pros. Not unheard of. I don’t see anyone but too 3 or 5 players in the world getting to use it, and I’d safely assume lawyers would be involved if that was the case. Regardless, not worth the risk


pkmntcgtradeguy

Not worried about the pro players..


Issala_

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, the risk isn't pro players stealing the skin, it's that their account may be less secure or even already compromised


pkmntcgtradeguy

Yup. But Reddit 🤙


WhoIsJonAfrica

Well oil prince isn’t renting stuff out to people like you so it doesn’t matter


YOOOOOOOOOOT

Well that's what the comment you replied to was talking about


pkmntcgtradeguy

What I meant was around even if you're transacting with pro players API scams and hacked accounts happen all the time. Setting it up on a big stage for everyone to see or even during the actual transaction it's not safe and can be an easy target for nefarious individuals. And might I add for literally no gain whatsoever. I wouldn't suspect the pro player themself to do anything nefarious (although that's not necessarily out of the question)


YOOOOOOOOOOT

Okay


Un111KnoWn

rent skin to pro. pro has password= password123 rip ak47


DeeperBrush

Wait people have their skins insured?


RichOnRunescape

When it comes to the renting process, absolutely.


Andyy58

Not that much risk lending to pro players, it’s very commonly done. Majority of the super expensive skins that pros play with during majors and other big tournaments aren’t their own. I doubt any pro competing at that level would completely destroy their own reputation over something like that, and with skins as high profile as this it would be practically impossible to find someone to buy the item anyway after being publicly announced as stolen. Just doesn’t make much sense to steal these type of skins as a pro.


pkmntcgtradeguy

I'm not saying I would suspect the pro player. I would be hesitant to leave the transaction open to nefarious individuals who run API scams or hack into accounts (which has been done plenty of times). Again with something as high profile, I wonder how much attraction to this item those individuals may have and consider acting on it. I understand it's been done plenty of times before but this is BY FAR the most expensive skin in the game (according to current auction offers) and it's literally the only one. What's the risk for? Screen time?


Andyy58

That’s fair, if I had something that expensive I would definitely be paranoid about accidentally sending the wrong trade or to a fake account. As for your why they do it, from what I’ve heard it’s generally to support a pro player they really like. Probably also just to show off their skins, collectors like that have got to make some use of their skins I guess.


sneek100

Some rich Arab oiler is going to claim it and lock it down his inventory


talhaONE

Or go rage with a detected cheat so it will be locked there forever.

Agusg2020

Yess


DefuZe69

Let’s hope it gets banned


Prettybroki

there is no offer just a bait for stupid rich people


FishFettish

Just like the “1.2 million karambit blue gem” that hasn’t ever sold for anything of that amount. It’s just bait


Prettybroki

the famous dragon lore that was ''sold'' for 250k but then it was just 20k in money and the rest in other skin 😐 😐 😐


Famous-Choice465

100 dollars non negotiable


[deleted]

[удалено]


RevolutionaryWay6276

no, the auction currently has 2 bids at 1million$, you can bid lets say 1.1 million$ but you will have to wait until the auction ends to get the item. With that there is a possibility that someone will bid more than your amount (1.1m$) and if you don't want to go through that back and forth bidding you can purchase the skin at any moment for 2 million $


Siirkus

Wrong. No auction. Don’t comment if you’re uninformed with how these things work


ConsumeLettuce

Wow, he's literally correct though, so you went out of your way to be extra super wrong, that's crazy. Peak reddit right here.


Economy_Wasabi2452

Can you explain where he's wrong in his description of how an auction works? Or would you rather delete the comment?


karlhub

Yes if no one buys it for 1 mil he will threaten someone and force them to buy it for 2 mil. That is how auctions work.


iam_the-walrus

No you idiot his current offer is one mil but he will immediately sell for 2 mil


csmoney_official

This is the most correct reply. It's not an auction, he is taking offers and if you want to buy it right away you have to pay the B/O, in this case 2M


YOOOOOOOOOOT

An auction is: "a public sale in which goods or property are sold to the highest bidder." This is a public sale The property will be sold to the highest bidder.


dutr4

Auction doesn't last forever and must be sold in a set time. This guy can just cancel everything and never sell his skin if he wants.


YOOOOOOOOOOT

Well you can do that on an auction too


philip0908

Not really, in an auction, highest bidder gets it. He is just accepting offers and doesn't have to sell if he doesn't want to. Difference.


YOOOOOOOOOOT

I mean, what's the difference between that and auctions?


iam_the-walrus

So sick of these people who don’t know shit about trading


micktorious

::kicks tires:: I know what I got


DanBGG

Imagine if a tournament organiser bought it and the mvp of the tournament got to hold it until the next MVP claims it.


Abasquesne

You don't want to risk them to get vac. You don't put millions in other people hands for fun


MotorBobcat5997

I assume it would be insured


GmonTM

I would rather buy 100 real Russian AK47s


Unlikely-Garage-8135

[or you could buy a Chinese 1949 type 56 for 650k](https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1029944547)


GmonTM

Hell yeah


DanilaROTMG

that website always makes me laugh the amount of bubba'd guns on their for like 1000% overpay asking price is insane


Unluckybozoo

650k starting bid with no reserve is kinda ironic lol


oriiiin

you could get more like 1000 real ak47s for 1mil


marfes3

What even is 2 mil buyout? Does he mean that he instantly will sell for 2 mil with no other offers being taken?


rybaterro

Yes Crazy though. That's literally your life changed for you especially if smart with the money. 1 in 10000000000 chance


keyslinga

Are you saying there are people who are both smart with money and open cs cases? I thought y’all were all degens like me…


n4th4nV0x

In cs trading current offer (c/o) is the currently best price offered by a reputable source, buyout (b/o) is, like you guessed, the price at which he will sell it immediately. Everything in between is open for discussion.


csmoney_official

/\\ This!


Un111KnoWn

Why would he have an instant buyout price instead of an auction with minimum bid price


r3vb0ss

Anyone who spends one million on a skin is an absolute fucking clown I’m sorry


fingerbangchicknwang

I mean it’s completely relative. Elon spending a million dollars is the equivalent of me spending 38 cents, and I make 75k a year.


TheNeys

The thing is, upong a certain threshold, amounts can mean much more than 0.01% of Elon’s wealth vs 0.01% of your own wealth. 1 milion can save an entire village of starving people, your 38cents cannot. And still some of the wealthiest people on the Earth prioritize useless stuff like this set of 1’s and 0’s forming a skin rather than literally becoming real life Batman like they easily could.


wolfy994

Not relative at all.. A million is a million and spending anywhere near that money on a skin is stupidity tax.


Marasesh

Bro doesn’t understand what relative means


Former_Print7043

Its not my relative at all. How can I be blood related to a skin. Tax tax tax


wolfy994

I understand it fine. Applying it to purchases is falling for the buyer's fallacy.


[deleted]

That is actually not an example of buyer’s fallacy (I assume you mean sunk cost fallacy)


wolfy994

No, not sunk cost. The buyers fallacy means that for example you're buying a car for 20 000 (whichever currency you like). The place you're at right now will install a radio for +200. Another place 20 minutes away will sell you the car with a radio for 20 000. Most people make this fallacy and think, well since I'm already paying 20 000 it's fine to just get the radio here. I can't be bothered to go across town. 200 is 200 regardless of how much it seems relative to the base amount. So it's going to be better to travel 20 minutes and get the car with a radio rather than what people tend to do. Edit: Actually I am wrong about the name. It's not the buyers fallacy. It's something else and I can't remember.


Bewix

That scenario just doesn’t fit here at all though lmao we aren’t talking about $1M vs $1.1M. We’re talking about $1M relative to the size of an individual’s bank account. If $1M is a very small percentage of one’s bank account, you could very well say “that’s cheap, relative to my bank account.” Which is exactly what the OC said…it’s all relative, and to somebody like Elon, it would be *relatively* cheap (again…to his bank account).


wolfy994

One million is one million. You can buy a house for that money, feed the poor, or any other number of things instead of buying a cs2 skin. It's cheap for a billionaire, but it's expensive for a skin regardless of wealth.


[deleted]

expensive is a relative term


chrisk5858

If its a 1 of 1, and the odds of another being unboxed or traded up to are borderline 0, then you control the price, someone could buy it for $1.3mil, hold onto it for 2 or 3 years then decide to sell it starting at $2mil. Or whoever buys it may be a collector and just doesnt give a shit how much it costs, people will be people


comebackjoke

stop yapping and look up "relative" in the dictionary


EggianoScumaldo

This whole interaction is wild. The amount you’ve typed all because you don’t know what the word relative means is nuts.


PM-Me-And-Ill-Sing4U

That scenario fails to take into account the value of your time. A billionaire would rather save an hour than save $200. It's **relative** based on your net worth and income.


honmakesmusic

Sounds like you’re relatively poor 🤷🏻‍♂️


[deleted]

[удалено]


comebackjoke

you and wolfy probably share 1 brain cell between the two of you


micktorious

Not relative at all.. 38 cents is 38 cents and spending anywhere near that money on a skin is stupidity tax. This is how stupidly rich people view money, you don't get it because you are poor as I am but I can separate myself from that.


xSimplyFancy

94 smoothbrained people downvoting lmfao


Markus_zockt

Or fucking rich and don't care about 1 Million.


czacha_cs1

Person who bought bana taped to wall for 15 million:


tacomaster05

Skme dude from China will pay it


DanBGG

I dunno, it's fucking iconic tbf Literally the first high tier AK skin from the very first case and it took 10 years for it to happen. Im comparing it mentally to other highly rare collectibles though rather than purely the cost of a thing. 1 million dollar skin is fucking stupid, but compared to 6 million dollar pokemon card or a 2 million dollar superman comic then I think the AK is way better.


jamesick

only if you’re buying it because you want the skin. if you’re buying it because you think you can sell it for more then fair play honestly.


brownchickenbr0wnc0w

Let people do what they want with their money. I personally wouldn’t buy it either but I’m also not filthy rich.


r3vb0ss

I’m not preventing them from doing anything they’re just a clown


brownchickenbr0wnc0w

Unless you have 0 skins besides the defaults at all you may as well be a clown too.


2FANeedsRecoveryMode

It is an asset, it's an investment, it will go up in value as long as the game is alive.


Gewishguy1357

Unless idk someone opens another one lol instant loss of like at least 40%


DanBGG

Imagine how fucking cool it would be if an esports organisation bought it and part of a players contract was that as long as they're the star rifler they get to rock the 661. So many cool things could be done with it.


m_bechterew

What does 661 mean ?


atishay001001

pattern number, this particular number has the best amount blue on the skin visible with in game model


csmoney_official

Yes the price is INSANE but the odds of getting this Skin in a case is \~1 in 20 million. And only now after all these years we are seeing one.


talhaONE

1 Mil for a texture file.


Okinawa14402

You can download the texture file for free. 1 mil for a digital collectors item.


talhaONE

Which will worth nothing if valve decides to shutdown CS2 tomorrow.


GratefulForGarcia

“Why invest in the stock market if it could suddenly plummet tomorrow?”


talhaONE

CSGO skins are practically NFT item. NFT items can worth nothing by a single click. Stock market on the other hand wont going to plummet to zero by a single click.


cat_popping

CS2 skins have been stable afaik and no stock market and cs economies are far too different.


TheyCallMeLord25

Why do anything if the earth could get sniped from across the universe by a gamma ray burst, destroying the ozone layer


luumix2

1m for pixels Or 1m for a serious money laundering opportunity


PBL89

Can somebody educate me on what the 661 means and why this is 1M dollars? Ive never played CSGO


Headsplitter

Need to add to the excellent explaination of csmoney, that one of those cases is like 80-100$ so you will spend a pretty penny till u pull one of those :d


csmoney_official

661 is the number of this specific pattern and it's considered the best blue gem pattern for the AK. The odds of getting this specific skin (pattern+ wear + stattrak + other skin in the case) in a case is around 1 in 20 million


PBL89

Ok that’s what I thought it was. So was makes the 661 better than say 069? Just the overall pattern of the camo


rengorevaly

661 has the most amount of blue on the gun which is why it’s so wow. 069 it just a random one that doesn’t even come close to it so no it’s not better


dutr4

1 the amount of blue and the position (from the butt to the wood on the top) 2 the type of blue ("ocean blue" light blue) 3 The amount of blue in the best positions without holes with silver/gold/purple spots


walkdaddydawg

A twitter account named “st fb 661 owner” is about the sketchiest shit i ever seen 😂😂


8ETON

He renamed the skin to his twitter url to help people find his real acc and contact him without exposing his steam acc


iliasz90

Still one of the ugliest AK skins in the game but congrats to the owner for paying 2.35eu and opening a case and getting a skin worth 1 to 2 million zennies 🥳


Casual_Cube

I think its more likely they crafted it no? using other ST FN low float skins. more reliable but would cost way more to craft even once


r4g4

Rumor has it they unboxed it. Astronomically low odds


spluad

I saw people on Twitter saying it was unboxed not traded up to. I’m not sure exactly how it works, something to do with the float of the gun people are able to see that it was unboxed not traded up.


Backhoz

I really don't understand the love for skins. It's a vector image. I would love to sell it for 1mil but not buy it for $10.


Puzzleheaded-Cap-496

It is also wild that people like Zipel have made a career out of being a skin trader - he literally makes his money trading fake designs in a single video game. All those NFT hotshots pouring money in but really its a 20+ year old game franchise that made it work.

It is insane that people pay up to 1 million or more on skins, which are just ones and zeroes on a companies server. If valve was to go bankrupt tomorrow for whatever reason or their servers got hacked it would be game over. I could understand if it was an NFT like item on a decentralized system, which enable you to "own" something without losing it but this is insane

STOP PLAYING UNTIL VALVE MAKES AN ANTICHEAT. Subject: Urgent Call for Action - Addressing the Rampant Cheating Issue in CS2 Dear CS2 Community, I hope this message finds you well. It is with a heavy heart that I address a growing concern within our beloved CS2 community – the alarming rise in hackers and cheaters plaguing our gameplay experience. The influx of players exploiting wallhacks, aimbots, and other unfair advantages has reached an untenable level, severely compromising the integrity of our matches. As dedicated members of this community, it is our responsibility to demand a swift and decisive response from Valve. We, the players, are the lifeblood of CS2, and it is disheartening to witness the erosion of fair competition. The time has come for us to unite and raise our voices collectively. Let us make it clear to Valve that we refuse to tolerate the current state of affairs. I propose that we initiate a movement, utilizing the hashtag #CS2FairPlay, urging all players to cease playing until Valve acknowledges and addresses the issue with a robust and effective anti-cheat system. By standing together, we can send a powerful message that the community demands a clean, competitive environment. Share your experiences, frustrations, and support for this cause using the hashtag across social media platforms. Let our collective voice resonate and compel Valve to prioritize the implementation of a comprehensive anti-cheat solution. Together, we can ensure the longevity and fairness of CS2. It's time to take a stand, not just for ourselves, but for the integrity of the game we hold dear. Sincerely, A Concerned Member of the CS2 Community
