Hey everyone, I've recently gotten into trading CS2 skins and I’m struggling to fully grasp how float values work. I understand they affect the skin's wear, but how exactly do they influence pricing and desirability? Are there tools or guides that break this down for beginners?

Yeah, float values can be confusing at first. It’s more nuanced than just looking at wear categories.

Understanding float values is key when you're buying or selling CS2 skins. The lower the float, the closer the skin is to factory new condition—even within the same category. For example, a skin labeled as "Minimal Wear" with a 0.08 float can be much more desirable than one with a 0.14 float. You might want to check out this https://dmarket.com/cs2-wiki/ for detailed explanations. It helped me learn how float values are calculated and why certain thresholds are more valuable. Also, keep in mind that some skins with specific patterns become extremely rare when combined with a low float. Collectors and investors definitely consider these factors when pricing. Once you get a hang of it, you'll spot good deals much more easily. The wiki covers float ranges, test methods, and examples—it’s worth reading through slowly.
