How to buy and sell Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) skins through Steam

What sets Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), or any of the previous generations of Counter-Strike, apart from other titles is the versatility that it offers in terms of commanding the marketplace. The game gives you access to one of the biggest online digital cosmetic markets, the Steam Community Marketplace, allowing you to purchase or sell any cosmetic of your choice.

Unlike Valorant, where players tend to sell off their own accounts, in CS2, you can engage in one-on-one trades and even use the Steam Marketplace with utmost security to earn money off of any unwanted cosmetics.

This article aims to guide you through purchasing and selling skins in the Steam Community Market.
