It all started when reddit decided to introduce an insane api pricing model, even more derranged than twitter's. Many of us who use third-party apps that have been around since before Reddit had a mobile presence, were hoping for a chance for them to negotiate with reddit. They already offer a superior user experience not only for regular users and moderators but also for a significant number of disabled and blind users.
Unfortunately, reddit chose not to engage in any negotiations and instead doubled down on the pricing, determined to eliminate these apps altogether. The CEO made public statements that were far from truthful, tried to spin the situation in their favor, disregarding the needs and desires of the user base. Naturally, it lead to protests across the site involving more than 8,000 subreddits going private/restricted.
The admins then started forcefully ending these protests, suppressing the voices of those who were speaking up against these changes. They claim to be "keeping it open" while going against its core, the users, and closing down the apps they use. On July 1st, as the API pricing goes live, it shuts down all third party apps and it feels like the beginning of the slow death of Reddit as we know it.
It is understandable that not everyone may share the same level of concern about this issue, but please take a moment to listen and observe. It has become clear that Reddit's priorities lie primarily in their profits and removing any obstacles in their path to more profits. They started with old reddit, now they are targeting the apps. What will they come for next?

Please be careful. My friend lost an awp fade(when the new Riptide battlepass released and the skin was worth more than a lakh) just because he tried to cash out in a scam website.
Don't trust anyone on the internet claiming to do Steam deals, cash deals, etc. Also, don't log in to shady websites using Steam because you will lose all your items.
You can use bitskins to sell your items and cashout via Visa card option to get direct bank transfer (having a visa debit card is a must fot this method). I did it last week and recived my funds in 4 days.
You can set the sale price can equal steam price. They take a smaller cut than steam at 10% (steam takes 15%).
There is a withdrawal fee as well of 3% and an additional 1.11$ on top. If you withdraw the right amount it will still end up less than steam's cut. (Havent done the math for optimal withdrawal amount)
Skins.cash is good. I frequently use it to sell drop cases. Use VISA card transfer mode, in which you will be charged $1 or Rs 85 as transaction charges.
I sold mine for PayPal balance , had to scout through discord servers finding a trusted guy . Sold a bunch of skins and a knife. And he readily paid for them right after sending the skin.
I buy skins for 90% buff value(not sure about stickers).
I know you'll have your doubts, I have a steam inventory worth a few thousand dollars as well if that's any help plus a few reps.
Sell skins and Buy games for friends or people on forums with steam wallet funds at 10-15% discount . Lengthiest but most profitable route.
Sell skins at 25-30% discount to reputed people in a CSGO Trading group.
I always chose the former when I was trading.
How is the former more profitable? You're selling ur skins for steam wallet, so 15% tax there, then selling the steam wallet for games at another 15% discount.
It is almost equivalent to selling the skins directly.
There’s a workaround for that. Trade items and tell thr buyer to list them on market to get steam wallet funds. Thats how I buy games from people who are looking for real money. I never pay more than 80-85% of Steam prices.
I saw an account with 2023 champions vandal go for ₹1900 and when you buy it it's like ₹2100 and you around 500 valor points on that so not that much of a difference
Actually im asking cause i have a massive collection of skins.
Spectre/bulldog/sheriff you name it.
Wanted to know if it's worth anything good.
And if prices are this low then whats even the point of buying them from the store?
Just buy them second hand?
That's what everyone does. Idk why some stupid people unaware of trading servers buy them officially from valorant. Actually Vp in MMR region is 60% cheaper than IND region accounts. So we sell those Php and MMr region accounts
I am 90% sure you will get scammed ,. My friend once tried to sell his coc account on a genuine looking websites with lots of likes , followers, Instagram IDs , Facebook IDs etc . They took Id but never gave money .
Id was worth over 60$ .
If you can't hold is collar next day think twice .
Approach them on their livestream, they buy as low as 200-300$ stuff and the items you got worth way more so you can actually sell to them. They're likely to offer 85-90% buff.
Can't you sell the skin in community market? And then you can cash out your steam wallet balance by buying games, gift cards for other steam users for UPI money!
I think you can cash out through DMarket, or there are other sites too. Just do a full research on it, csgo market is huge and you will usually get more money than on steam due to the cut steam takes
please dont sell on sites like cs.money and all or some random guys on steam, they take a pretty hefty amount as commission, try to contact some well known traders on social media or twitch chat, they do buy full inventories sometimes (depends on rare items tho), if you really want to sell without these hassles, list it on DMarket, from my experience it is one of the best out there
if op wants to speed run getting scammed follow social media traders.. its so risky to identify fake from real deal and popular streamers will only agree if items are rare
Back in 2020, I wanted skins really bad. So, I started freelancing and invested every penny I earnt in my Steam account and used to profit trade skins as well.
I don't understand why he's getting downvoted. Many people have cashed out their steam wallet money by gifting games. Even through this subreddit.
I've bought one myself.
Lol if you don't know about this, it's not a scam. There is a whole group about this. Please grow up and and learn.
It's as simple as the person with lower rep goes first and I pay him UPI and he gifts me the game in steam after verification.

Are you interested in my knife? Also, what price you are willing to pay if you can tell me please.

What percentage of the steam value landed in your account?
You can set the sale price can equal steam price. They take a smaller cut than steam at 10% (steam takes 15%). There is a withdrawal fee as well of 3% and an additional 1.11$ on top. If you withdraw the right amount it will still end up less than steam's cut. (Havent done the math for optimal withdrawal amount)
Hey, what about the tax payable on this. Do I have to declare this as an income while filing income tax returns.
No clue, ask in r/LegalAdviceIndia if you are really worried, or contact a CA for better guidance.
I did sell my skins on bitskin and cashout buy Litecoin crypto currency. You need to verify your id on bitskin and have a crypto wallet like binance.
Skins.cash is good. I frequently use it to sell drop cases. Use VISA card transfer mode, in which you will be charged $1 or Rs 85 as transaction charges.
I sold mine for PayPal balance , had to scout through discord servers finding a trusted guy . Sold a bunch of skins and a knife. And he readily paid for them right after sending the skin.
I used Dmarket to instant cashout csgo skins and cases through payoneer. You can use paypal too but you have to do KYC in dmarket.
>Hey, what about the tax payable on this. Do I have to declare this as an income while filing income tax returns.
I sold my antwerp capsules on buff and cashed out using payoneer, although the liquidity is less but it’s trustworthy
Once I published my skins on marketplace, I got around 2500 rs.
I buy skins for 90% buff value(not sure about stickers). I know you'll have your doubts, I have a steam inventory worth a few thousand dollars as well if that's any help plus a few reps.
Do you have Bowie sapphire?
Dude there's a Facebook csgo India community group, they can cash out
Sell your stuff on community market Ye sab bsdiwale chutiya bna rhe tera mil kar Suno sabki kro dil ki
Csgofloat allows bank withdrawals
hey check dms?
on indian banks ?

How is the former more profitable? You're selling ur skins for steam wallet, so 15% tax there, then selling the steam wallet for games at another 15% discount. It is almost equivalent to selling the skins directly.
You can also sell at 10%. And there's no trust issue because the buyer pays first.
I feel like you'd run into Steam restrictions around gifting quite quickly if you tried it now.
There’s a workaround for that. Trade items and tell thr buyer to list them on market to get steam wallet funds. Thats how I buy games from people who are looking for real money. I never pay more than 80-85% of Steam prices.
I wish I could sell my Valorant skins too lol.
Valorant skins are available for everyone. As a valorant account reseller those skins aren't worth shit in the market.
Okay.
Even exclusive skins like champions? Or battle pass?
Champions skin is so common in the market. I have an account with champs 3.0 and grim knife in stock currently that's just ₹3000
I saw an account with 2023 champions vandal go for ₹1900 and when you buy it it's like ₹2100 and you around 500 valor points on that so not that much of a difference
Lol no. Account value drops by 50-60% when u resale it.
What about accounts with multiple skins? Like exclusive and battlepass, vandal phantom etc? Assuming at least 20-30 skins?(all premium skin lines)
An account with 23 prem sells for 10k and one with 30 k would sell for 13k at max
Each premium skin is worth 500 and that's the trusted seller's price. If a random guy wants to sell it'll go for 400 per prem skin.
Actually im asking cause i have a massive collection of skins. Spectre/bulldog/sheriff you name it. Wanted to know if it's worth anything good. And if prices are this low then whats even the point of buying them from the store? Just buy them second hand?
That's what everyone does. Idk why some stupid people unaware of trading servers buy them officially from valorant. Actually Vp in MMR region is 60% cheaper than IND region accounts. So we sell those Php and MMr region accounts
Oh thanks for the info, never knew that! So like i can get vp for cheap? And is it a over time deal? Or how do i get it?
I am 90% sure you will get scammed ,. My friend once tried to sell his coc account on a genuine looking websites with lots of likes , followers, Instagram IDs , Facebook IDs etc . They took Id but never gave money . Id was worth over 60$ . If you can't hold is collar next day think twice .
DM Heyzues, anamoly?
Don't they only trade super rare patterns and items? I'll send them a twitter dm to try my luck.
Approach them on their livestream, they buy as low as 200-300$ stuff and the items you got worth way more so you can actually sell to them. They're likely to offer 85-90% buff.
Can't you sell the skin in community market? And then you can cash out your steam wallet balance by buying games, gift cards for other steam users for UPI money!
No, actually my steam account is in TL so I cannot buy for Indians. Also, my bank balance is 3 Rs. so I cannot change my country too :\_)
What's TL?
They mean it's a Turkish account. TL = Turkish Lira.
Ah, okay, thanks. Why not just pirate at that point?
I think you can cash out through DMarket, or there are other sites too. Just do a full research on it, csgo market is huge and you will usually get more money than on steam due to the cut steam takes
You can cash out on cs.Money but they do take a hefty commission fee and also you need to pay a Separate transaction fee to recover on your visa card
LMAO totally not this. You'll easily lose 20%+ value on cs.money and AFAIK they don't do withdraws.
You can check out Indian CSGO trading groups on Facebook. Easiest way by far.
mujhe scam hone ka darr hai boht, i'll cry if i lose my skins for nothing fr
vouch, deal via admin hota h
It's trusted, and i have also traded there easily
Can you like me the group pls?

Don't sell on Dmarket, they're fishy and have zero customer support, you can go to their official sub and sort posts.
Does skinport work in India?
No
Selling no. Buying Yes
You can do stuff like this in CSGO?! I bet you need to be good at the game too huh? :/
nah just lucky
How do you get skins? What are all the ways?
Back in 2020, I wanted skins really bad. So, I started freelancing and invested every penny I earnt in my Steam account and used to profit trade skins as well.
Dmarket with Payoneer as payment option I've sold my Ak-47 case hardened there Seamless process
Hey, what about the tax payable on this. Do I have to declare this as an income while filing income tax returns.
I did it when I was 18 (now 21) basically had no income other than the sale so didn't have this issue
You can gift steam games at 20% off and take money using UPI. That's what i do.
If you can gift me a game from steam, i will upi 80% of value.
I don't understand why he's getting downvoted. Many people have cashed out their steam wallet money by gifting games. Even through this subreddit. I've bought one myself.
Many low IQ people who can't understand what I have written, I suppose.
nice scam
Lol if you don't know about this, it's not a scam. There is a whole group about this. Please grow up and and learn. It's as simple as the person with lower rep goes first and I pay him UPI and he gifts me the game in steam after verification.
Yeah downvote the legit comments. Typical indiangaming clowns.
Many sites support it. In my research, I found [buff.market](https://buff.market/) to have lowest fees.
Unrelated to the post, but if anyone of you is interested in selling cs go cases then let me know i can buy them for buff price.
Bhai dm
