If you have this bandana in your inventory, you could quickly earn $1000. In the PUBG- (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) community, this item is extremely valuable.
The prices for cosmetic items in PUBG are skyrocketing. Although these items do not provide advantages like increased damage, players sometimes pay incredible prices for them. Among the most expensive items is a red bandana, which is currently causing hot discussions in the community.
Players are willing to spend over $1000 for it. Crazy, right?
Getting Rich on the Steam Market
If you want such a red bandana, you can access it in the Steam marketplace. They are currently on sale for $940 or 800€. Among the most popular items there are PUBG items like crates, pants, jackets, or gas masks. You can find these right on the first page.
The popular red bandana is included in the PlayerUnknown Set, which was purchased a few hours ago for $1009.
A hefty price, considering that the PlayerUnknown Set crate was given as a bonus. Players who preordered the Deluxe Edition of PUBG received the crate. It contains clothing items such as a coat, pants, shoes, a shirt, and the PlayerUnknown-style bandana.
In March of this year, you could still buy the red bandana for a mere 17€ on the Steam market. At that time, one might have thought: 17 euros for a PUBG bandana? Who buys something like that?
In July there was then a price spike of 261€. After that, the price briefly went down again before it continued to rise sharply above 1000€.
Therefore, those who made an investment of about $40 at the beginning of PUBG could now have a small fortune in their Steam inventory. The hype surrounding this special PUBG crate has even led to unboxing videos. The following video is already a bit older (April) and already pointed out the high prices of the crate at that time.
Even Developer Bluehole Has Become Significantly More Valuable in the Last 3 Months
By the way: The value of PUBG developer Bluehole has increased significantly in the last 3 months. However, only fivefold to a value of 4.6 billion US dollars. Only five times? The profit margins on the bandana are significantly higher.
