Since the introduction of items on Steam it has become one of the games with the most trading. A rare skin that nobody received for 10 years was recently found. The owner could soon become rich, as there is already a bid of 1 million USD.
What skin is this? The skin in question is AK-47 Case Hardened. The skin can have different patterns and therefore looks slightly different for everyone. Here specifically, it is about the pattern with the number 661, which belongs to the “Blue Gems,” making them particularly valuable.
Here you can take another look at the skin.

One million US dollars is not enough for the owner
What about the skin? The skin has already been valued by the famous CS2 streamer OhnePixel at 800,000 to 1 million US dollars. Meanwhile, the owner of the skin created a Twitter account and reached out to interested parties about the skin. He published in his tweet that he has already been offered 1,000,000 US dollars.
Isn’t that enough? Apparently not, because the owner of the skin set the buyout price at double, so 2,000,000 US dollars. The buyout price describes the price at which he would sell the skin directly. The current offer does not seem to have been rejected, but the seller wants to receive further offers for the skin.
To verify that he is truly the owner of the skin, he chose two well-known, trusted individuals from the community as contacts for potential buyers.
Why do we need intermediaries? The intermediaries have several functions.
- They protect the anonymity of the seller
- They ensure the safe execution of the trade
- They provide reach so that more potential offers reach the seller
- They also ensure that not everyone can claim to be the seller
One of the intermediaries, Sam “roflm0nster”, a Twitch streamer with almost 50,000 followers, recently commented on the prices that the lucky owner wants for the weapon.
Here he describes that there probably won’t be another drop of this skin and that other skins are also being traded for such high values. The intermediary is right about that; we have already reported in an article that an owner of a “Blue Gems” knife rejected an offer of 1.2 million: Counter-Strike: Player offers 1.2 million dollars for a knife, but the owner thinks it’s too little
