GO spends over $400,000 on a game item

According to Neowin , although Valve's CS: GO is a free-to-play game, gamers can buy different skins for their characters in the game. The skin market has always been an attractive factor that contributes to the success of games, and rare skins are even more popular with gamers, willing to spend thousands of dollars and even hundreds of thousands of dollars like a recent CS: GO gamer.

Most expensive item in video game history?

In a Twitter post, zipL, a CS:GO skin trader, said he brokered a deal between seller “Luksusbums” and an unnamed Chinese buyer in April. The sale involved two items: one was a Blue Gem Karambit knife skin in the game that sold for $100,000, while the other was a StatTrak Tier 1 Case Hardened AK-47 with a Blue Gem pattern and four Titan Holo Katowice 2014 skins glued onto it, which went for over $400,000. The combined transaction for both items was over $500,000, completed on April 16.

CS: GO has seen a huge increase in new players online over the past few weeks. This is largely due to Valve announcing Counter-Strike 2, which is set to launch later this summer as a free upgrade for CS: GO. Since all CS: GO weapon skins will migrate to Counter-Strike 2, this makes some in-game items more valuable.

However, the report notes that the CS:GO item market is currently in a speculative phase, so gamers should be careful not to spend money inappropriately. In particular, the price of the AK-47 skin in CS:GO that zipL mentioned is also not verified.
