How to get the cheapest AK-47 skin
Yuriy SheremetSome may argue that aside from the addictive gameplay, the best part of CS:GO, that has left players hooked since the launch of the popular game, are the customization features. Like all skins, AK-47 skins are custom paint jobs for one of the best weapons in the game. These skins can vary in price and availability, with some having extra features that increase their demand. With this large variety available, you have the pick of the skins that you want to use to customize your own gameplay.
There are loads of skins available for you to purchase but you may want to pick out the one you like the most. One way of doing this is to just spend time in game and keep a look out for skins that grab your attention. Another way is to go to a website like SkinScan.gg and use the browse feature to look at a variety of skins, as well as the prices they’re available at. You should make a short list of skins that you want to get and look up their prices on the Steam Community Market. If any of them are exceptionally cheap, you’re probably best of just getting it from the market as this is the least amount of effort you need to put in. However, for pricier skins, you may want to look around or wait for the price to drop.
There are numerous marketplaces to look for cheap AK-47 skins but the only one that’s run by Valve is the Steam Community Market. Other third-party marketplaces, like BitSkins can be cheaper, however, if you’re willing to buy from them. This is because third-party sellers are looking to cash out on in-game items as well as the fact that there is no percentage of the transaction going to Valve. To get the best deal and cheapest AK-47 skins, you’ll have to look around a decent amount though, because even among these sites the price can vary massively, especially for rare items that are not as widely available.
If the skin you’re looking for is currently unavailable or priced at a ridiculous mark-up, you may want to wait a while before pulling the trigger. You can look at historic pricing in the SCM to get a better idea of how the price varies with time. Waiting can also backfire, however, as the price may even further increase. However, being patient and waiting for a good deal is an absolutely crucial aspect of getting cheap CS:GO skins.
One great way to combine all of the aspects of finding the cheapest AK:47 skins in CS:GO is through websites like SkinScan.gg. The website allows you to do some things in an instant that would generally take you a lot of time, as well as effort looking around across the internet. Using it is as simple searching for the item you need. Skinscan will show you results for the item, including prices gathered from six sources. The prices are shown for each item quality and even for special features like Stat-Trak weapons. This allows you to get a quick overview of the price of the item, as well as find where is the cheapest way to get it. Another nice feature is the ability to browse through all available items on Skinscan. You can go through all of the items and click on any you like the look and price of. Since the prices will be gathered from all of the major marketplace sites, you’ll know you’re getting a good deal too! There is also Discord for users to discuss CS:GO, skins and trading. Skinscan is really a great tool for finding cheap CS:GO skins!
