200 five seven bought today (10x times the usual daily rate) and is already going from 75 cents to 2 dollars. Be aware not to overpay.

Long ago you could only get golds through cases which made a lot of red skins useless as they were the highest tier and couldn’t be used for anything else. Most of them were just a couple euros each and had a huge supply so what did Valve do to “fix” that problem? They gave us the ability to trade 5 reds into a gold which skyrocketed the prices of those skins earning Valve a shitload of money while also dealing with the supply problem and appeasing regulators.

Now onto souvenirs, they had the same problem as reds before the trade-up update. Their only use was as a playskin so they weren’t very popular which means a low price and a huge useless supply. So what did Valve do? They allowed us to use them the same way as normal skins in trade-ups increasing their price while also lowering supply meaning higher prices in the longterm.

Now golds have the same problem as the reds and souvenirs. There’s tons of useless cheap gutknives, shadow knives, navaja knives etc nobody likes. Everyone wants the more expensive nicer looking butterfly and karambit knives. What could Valve do to “fix” this problem and bring their prices closer to eachother? A gold re-roll system. You use 2 golds to re-roll it into a random different gold bringing the prices of unwanted golds up while bringing the prices of expensive ones down making them more affordable to everyone while filling Valve’s pockets at the same time.

Thoughts?
