A major CS:GO skin trader says he has shepherded the sale of a single gun for a record price of over $400,000. The news comes amid a speculative boom in the price of all sorts of CS:GO items, following the news that those skins will be fully compatible with the recently announced Counter-Strike 2 .
Danish trader zipeL , who helps manage CS:Go market clearinghouse SkinBid , shared news of a $500,000+ transaction on Twitter earlier this week . While that transaction also included a rare (but "well-worn") Karambit #387 P1 knife, the highlight was a "#1 AK-47 661 ST MW with 4x Titan (Holo)." Seller (and SkinBids cofounder) Luksusbums said last year that he would "entertain offers above $400K" for that gun, a valuation that was apparently met with this sale.
While there are many sought-after skins in CS:GO , the "Seed 661" pattern seen on this AK-47 is "commonly considered the #1 pattern and... is known as the best 'scar pattern'" according to informational site CS Go Blue Gem . The pattern is particularly valued aesthetically for what the site calls "a clean and bright blue all the way through the back with a golden scar close to the rear sight."
