In the last 24 hours, the prices of some Counter-Strike weapon skins have jumped to insane levels.
The friend who tipped me off told me he flipped $3 CSGO skins for $50.
These things can apparently be traded for knives; whatever that means.
I don't play the Counter-Strike games, so I don't know what any of that means.
Edit: There's a post over in Gaming that gives more details.

It means you can get a different skin for your knife weapon in CS2. Which means you can look at different pixels while running around with your knife and pressing F to get an inspect animation.
It means people are retarded and pay a lot of money for worthless pixels instead of just using skin mods. Because they want everyone to know how retarded they are instead of just having a nice weapons skin to look at that only they can see.
Any time I don’t understand a large financial transaction, I just assume it’s money laundering or bribery.
Pretty cheap compared to posing in a sports car
You're only saying that because you don't know how much money some actually spend on those pixels. Five figures isn't uncommon.
You could buy your own Gucci rifle, paint it whatever tryhard colors you want, and still have money left over for ammo.
I've never messed around with skins, but as I understand it knife skins are rarer and sought after, so more valuable/expensive.
So if there was a change where some items can be traded for (I assume random) knife skins...you can double down on the gambling, buy one skin for $150 and maybe trade it for a knife worth, making this number up for this scenario, $700...but probably you get a shit knife worth $20 or something. Again, just making up the numbers for an example.
But, yeah, sounds like you can double down on gambling. Wild.
Just checked, unfortunately I only have two crap guns and two crates, having never messed with it. Looks like I lost out on a couple potential bucks when they changed whatever they changed. Whatever, never touched those or spent money anyway, but I lost like $10-$15 market value, looks like. I'm JUMPIN'!
