I see people sniping crazy deals on CS2 skins and flipping them for profit. Meanwhile I feel like I’m overpaying every time. Is there a smart way to know what’s a “good” deal?

You need to be fast, but more importantly, you need to know what’s valuable and what’s just hype. Rare patterns, certain floats—those things affect the price more than people realize at first.

Pattern and float knowledge is key. I once ignored a cheap skin thinking it was nothing special, but someone grabbed it and flipped it within minutes. That made me take things more seriously and start researching. I found https://dmarket.com/cs2-wiki/ by chance, and it helped me figure out which skins are underpriced and why. It breaks down float, pattern, and market impact clearly. Since then, I’ve been way more confident about spotting value without second-guessing myself.
