How to read the wear ladder
Where the value hides
A steep FN / FT premium means you pay heavily for a pristine float. For skins that look nearly identical in MW or FT (most covered finishes), the middle grades are the value plays — the highlighted cheapest cell is your shopping hint.
When FN is worth it
Open finishes like Fade, Marble Fade or gloves show wear clearly, and collectors price FN accordingly. For resale-minded buys, liquid FN skins with a modest premium hold value best.
Wear & float FAQ
Why is Factory New so much more expensive?
Drop rates: only about 3% of unboxed skins roll Factory New, against 33% for Field-Tested. Scarcity plus the "clean skin" preference produces the premium — this page shows exactly how big it is per skin.
Which wear is the best value?
Usually Minimal Wear or Field-Tested: most finishes look close to FN at a fraction of the price. The table highlights each skin's cheapest priced wear, and the FN / FT column shows how much you save by stepping down.
Does float matter within the same wear?
Yes — a 0.16 Field-Tested looks much cleaner than a 0.37 one and often prices higher. This table compares wear grades at their floor quotes; within a grade, check float before buying.
Why do some skins show no Battle-Scarred price?
Not every finish supports every float range — many skins are capped (e.g. 0.00–0.50), so WW or BS versions simply do not exist, or exist in numbers too small to quote reliably.
