I can’t remember where I saw it, but basically someone was talking about valve killing major stickers on purpose to get rid of the whole gambling aspect of the game. Same with the armory obviously. I think this is pretty useful to look at the Whole sticker market this way.
@ I mean I hope I’m wrong lol I have a ton of capsules. But the more I think about it the more it makes sense. Regardless, it’s added risk and just another reason stickers investments are not looking good long term
I think, the problem is that back in the days not many people were investing to CS, but with the years going on, more and more people started to invest, when they saw for example older capsules prices going high (Kato14 etc.). But because many people investing now, there will be more of these available years later as well, so the prices wouldn't be that high.
I would be careful with sticker capsule 2 since it basically rides on the crown foil. Crown foil has looked terrible for over a year now in cs2 compared to csgo. while it has prestige its falling off slowly and it might not recover.
I would personally go a few bucks in Vertigo souvenirs since the map is dropping out of rotation but I bought into some Overpass souvenirs during copenhagen and they actually depreceiated in value and I took a small loss over what I paid for them in the steam client so that's making me a bit risk adverse this time around but the M4A1-S Imminent danger is a really nice skin but you got a 1:4000 odds in unboxing one from a souvenir case.. The overpass souvenirs may go up in value though since it's the old collection and if Valve brings the Overpass 2024 collection in the armory to standard rotation once Overpass is released back into the major map pool but people don't unbox those often because of the really low odds to get a good skin from it and the fact you can't use souvenir skins for trade-ups. Valve should honestly just allow souvenirs to get used in trade ups to rally the market and get people to buy more boxes so it feels like less of a throw away spending more than a case and a key to unbox to get a worse tier skin.
@@LetsPlayBojangles Yah, i mean i have made some profits, but if they continue to go up like this, it wasnt rly "worth it" , but wcyd . Im having more fun, playing with the new knife atleast . Cases just sit in storage units 😅 .
@@maxzoRHD good man. I flipped some old esports winter and summer cases for a knife about a year ago. The knife has stayed the same, the cases maybe went up 5% since then. In the end I've had a nice knife to play with and get compliments on. Its not all about the profits if you actually play the game for fun sometimes as well. The optimal move is to pick up skins you both like enough to use for a while and also will be able to turn a profit that you can flip later.
Don't invest in active cases they said, lmao. I bought Fracture at 0,1, it went to over 1 euro during the hype/bugged Steam. Now I bought at 0,21 and we are at 0,35 already. Now imagine Fracture goes rare in January or February, new case probably coming. Infinite money glitch.
@@MasterShiny whats impressive is the potential long term ROI. Fracture is the longest standing case in the active pool meaning that we can pick them up close to the bottom, in a time frame close to when it'll be removed from the actives. it has a couple attractive knives with OG skins only found in one other case; Shattered Web, which costs $4. 15 times more. Fracture also has better skins that Shattered Web..
@@MasterShiny You could just say that i invested into one of the stickers from there but on the other hand its alot more enjoyable as content when you point out the things yourself.
I think 2025 is bullish for cs2 investing, no doubt, 2026 again for buying maybe? But now there are lots of skins/containers which are very low and have so much potential in profit term. Not selling anything until 3-4 years
Is there any chance that u can share excel with prices of skins to people? or could you just share some new excel with only a few examples just to build by myself. I dont know how to make it refreshing prices automatically.
CS20 aren't active drop anymore. It has the classic knife going for it but a lot of people place it near the huntsman and gutknife so it's not as desirable as a butterfly or karambit but it's the OG 1.6 knife so it has that nostalgia factor and the Famas Commerative which is a nice covert skin for the gun and the AWP wildfire which looks decent. I feel like CS20 are a safe investment and will appreciate in value over time.
I bought 250 of them and 250 recoil when they were around .15-.18 cents. I was banking on atleast one of them being removed from rotation. I’m using my recoil for trades rn lol so far no lose🙏be sticking with skins and cases. Stickers seem sketchy ever since made beads jumped on em a year plus ago
What do you think about Copenhagen contender capsule? Do you think they will get around 0.50 in 2025 cuz they got so many stickers that are exclusive only in it?
Wouldn't be surprised at all to see the Snakebite at the same price point in, let's say, 1 year. Definitely one for the more patient among us. The golds are trash as well.
If you can find them cheaper I’d say yes by cheaper I mean 50 to 250-300 but no one is sure whether or not it will become popular. Personally I think they’ll get high in price in abt a year or two or once cs gets more updates
Hi so recently I sold my whole inventory (around 1500$) and bought roughly around 800 Dreams and Nightmare Cases for all of it, do you think its worth holding for the next few months, I know its volatile but my thought while doing that was that its the cheapest case which has a chance to drop a butterfly knife, although its an active duty case and it will be volatile in price but do you think its a W investment or L investment? what do you suggest? should i sell them back or hold for next 4-6 months?
Can I just say that every time I tap into a MasterShiny video, it clears up all the delusion about CS investing in my head. Hope this makes sense haha :D
Hope thats a good thing, a lot of people want to spew anything to keep you watchin, my goal is otherwise show that you can be entertaining and still tell the actual market truth :)
i bought 500 glove cases in 2020, should I sell now? i also bought 500 Gamma and Gamma 2 cases what about them? I thought about selling the glove cases and keeping the Gammas
if you're not desperate for money I'd say keep them for some more time, for example I'm keeping my "investments" for at least 2 more years until I finish university then when i'll come back into the CS scene sell and either buy 1 really high tier item and keep it for some more time or just cash out
Lets say I got an knife and want to buy cases with it whats the best way because once I bought like 100 cases and it wasnt that expesnive like 6 dollars so i just sold a skin on steam market but now I just wonder how all you investors do that put down a lot of money.
strong price history over the last year, demand exceeding supply despite being in drop pool, plus sell pressure seems unlikely unless something drastically changed
Sticker capsule 2 = Crown foil, which looks absolutely garbage now, unless they change it going forwards...Just test a 4x Crown foil craft on an inspect server, you'll know what I mean. I don't expect the capsule to go anywhere until they buff the crown somehow. There are 3$ stickers that look better.
Dude I actually enjoy your videos but bro your speaking so fast that it’s really difficult to understand you as a non native English speaker even thought I understand English very good
I think valve has realized that releasing same stickers 4 times in a row is a bad idea lol
