I’m thinking of getting my first AWP skin. Some friends say buy it straight from the market, others recommend trading to get a better deal. What’s actually safer for someone just getting into skins?
Buying is more predictable — you pay the price and get the item. But trades can land you better deals if you know what you’re doing. That said, it’s easy to get ripped off if you don’t know the current value.
When I started out, I was confused by all the different pricing and offers. Then I stumbled on https://dmarket.com/cs2-wiki/ while trying to figure out how to avoid overpaying. It explains the pros and cons of trading vs buying, plus how to spot scams and check true skin value. It’s helped me avoid sketchy trades and know when something’s actually worth it.
