I remember when I invested in IBP holo bought just one sticker for so little then cuz I was little and I had no money, then it went up to 80eur and I sold it and I felt on top of the world🥲
I did similar when coming back at the end of 2022, i had like 2 old steam accounts, managed to get them back, but i only got around 500 euros, i had an awp graphite, bunch of esport blue cases, community capsules with crown foil, and some other old skins that went up in price a bunch.
I had two accounts conected to my phone back then. First one was my main one, but the second, was for the friends that wanted to play cs go and had no account. So one evening I gave it to a friend to play. I quit playing after a week because I was bored. BUT I forgot that he had my second account. So after a week or two I've got banned because he cheated on the second one. After time I made me a new one and forgot about it. Now when I checked, I saw that I have there around 40 euros and I can't trade them(
"How much value has been lost?" Is a flawed question. Value is determined by the buyer side of the market. Since the skin market is freely accessible by anyone without specific contracts, the overall value of the market will remain but the distribution of the value rearranges due to more pieces being avaliable. So in the end there is no value that is lost. The "lost" items have no value until they are not found and not "out on the market".
my friend has an account that has about 300k in stickers from 2015. he cannot remember the password, or the email to even try to reset the password. unlucko
I had 3 different butterfly knives that I purchased for less than $100 each. All worth significantly more. Makes me sick the amount of expensive skins i gambled away back in the day.

I wonder how many more of these "friends" that "come back" to cs are out there.
I wonder how many of these people “returning” are just old accounts getting hacked

I would maybe use similar metrics to calculate the loss percent of a market 🤓

Some of my biggest regrets in life are CS related
How Steam Support Stole MILLIONS in Skins ?
Back in 2015 I sold a cobblestone package for like 20 bucks on the market and now I think about suicide everyday
What a stupid fucking title.
The fact that no one expected these stickers to get so expensive is the main reason they became so expensive.
Sold my Dragon Lore WW back in 2016/17 for $500..
How easy is it to liquidate this $130,000 though? I see all kinds of outrageous prices but nothing selling…
