The Most Expensive CS:GO Skin in History

Counter-Strike is on the threshold of its big renovation — CS:GO is moving to a new game engine and becoming CS2. This news makes players extremely excited. Even if many still don’t have access to the fresh version, they are feeling motivated to play more and be prepared for the super exciting release.

And it’s only the tip of an iceberg. Valve did everything right and clearly announced that all CS:GO skins will be safely transferred to CS2. This assured gamers and traders that the market is alive and will certainly thrive. As one of the first impressive results, we’ve witnessed the biggest skins trading transaction in history. And we don’t mean only the history of Counter-Strike but rather gaming history in general.

It’s an AK-47 | Case Hardened StatTrak™ Minimal Wear with a Blue Gem pattern 661 — it makes the skin even more blue. The transaction was made by the trader zipeL, who acted on behalf of Luksusbums. The trade included Karambit | Case Hardened Well-Worn with the same Blue Gem pattern.

As zipeL reported in his tweet, the total sum of this transaction was $500K+, and the price of AK-47 | Case Hardened was $400K.

What makes this specific AK-47 | Case Hardened so special is its four stickers Titan (Holo) | Katowice 2014 attached to the gun. It turned out to be a mind-blowing combination!
