Right now it goes for $463 to $750 across 7 marketplaces — a 61.9% spread. Liquidity is low: just 3 sales a day. An item like this can sit for weeks, and an attractive listing price does not mean anyone will pay it.
We track 2 wear levels of this skin. The cheapest is FN at $463, the priciest is MW at $522 — a 1.1x difference for the very same artwork, the wear is all that changes. The StatTrak version of the same wear costs 82% more — the kill counter is priced separately. Over the past 30 days the price stayed between $435 and $619, and it is now 0% higher than a month ago. The all-time high is $720, the low is $435. Float for this skin runs from 0.0 to 0.08 (the range of the whole skin, not of a single wear): the lower the number, the cleaner the finish, and copies at the edge of the range are valued separately.
Selling instantly into the top buy order pays $581 — 97% of the $601 asking price. The gap between those two numbers is what speed costs: a listing waits for a buyer, a buy order pays right now. There are more buy orders than listings: 1748 against 32. Demand is ahead of supply, so selling at market price usually needs no discount. This skin does not exist in every wear: you can find Factory New, Minimal Wear, while Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred never existed — its float never rises above 0.08, so even the most beaten copy stays Minimal Wear.
AWP | Lightning Strike (Factory New) is listed on 6 marketplaces. The most you keep is on steam: $601 minus a 15.0% fee leaves $522 net. The least you keep is on lis: $463 minus a ~9.7% fee leaves $418. The $104 gap comes from both different listing prices and different fees; a large gap usually means the listings differ in wear or condition, so check the item itself before selling. If you need cash out rather than Steam wallet funds, the best option is marketcsgo, $460 net.
Fees are the marketplaces' standard seller rates; Steam's 15% is charged on the seller's amount, so the net is the price divided by 1.15. Volume discounts, promo codes and regional specifics are not included, and Steam proceeds stay in the Steam wallet.
A rate marked with a tilde (~) is our own estimate, not a published figure: it is derived by comparing the marketplace's own buy and sell prices. The real cut varies from item to item and is usually worse on cheap listings.
